New issue onsale NOW!

Get your hands on a slice of proper DVD entertainment. This issue we are going absolutely MENTAL for TV, and have selected the 101 essential TV discs that you need to spend your hard-earned cash on. Check out number 1, you probably haven’t even seen it yet you flaming walrus!



As well as a TV roundup the likes of which you absolutely will not find ANYWHERE else, we also hooked-up with the smoothest man in the movie business, Kevin Spacey, and he told us all about new card-sharp flick 21, Vegas and his new life at the Old Vic.

Neil Marshall gives us the skinny on Mad Max love-in Doomsday (you’ll find that nestled between a Dark Knight and a Matrix Blu-ray exclusive BTW) and we are telling you that Ray Stevenson, Nazi Zombies, and The Punisher: Warzone are what smart people are gassing about right now. Don’t worry, it’s all part of our news avalanche that's comin' for ya.

Oh, and did we mention reviews? More than anyone else in DVD land (that, people, is a cold, hard fact) and do you know what? We ACTUALLY review them. That might sound weird but you want to be careful out there, some charlatans will write reviews based on what they think they know, not what they’ve actually seen on disc. So, here’s what we took a look at…


Doomsday, Street Kings, 21, One Missed Call, Shutter, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden, Persepolis, My Brother Is An Only Child, Never Back Down, Escape From New York (Blu-ray), The Fog, Cool Hand Luke, Zodiac DC, Batman Begins (Blu-ray), Chuck Season 1, Supernatural Season 3 and loads more. Seriously, LOADS. Yeah, I italicised the commas. How d'ya like them beans?

Go get some. You’ll find us in magazine shops. Even the bad ones.


Caught on the web: Lego Fight!

This month in caught on the web, in homage to The Matrix (coming to Blu-ray, yes sirree bob), we find movies redefining the fight scene. First up: Lego Fight!

Gratuitous violence is better when there’s no risk of a flesh wound. If you’ve ever thought the Legoman smirk hid a sinister underbelly, see that suspicion played out in ass-kicking glory.

 


Caught on the web: Grandma Fight Club (deleted Scene from Little Nicky)!

This deleted scene from the Little Nicky movie is the epitome of bad taste. But if you want a laugh at OAPs battling it out for a baying audience, this is the clip you’ve been waiting for.

Caught on the web: Freaky Food Fight

It’s tabletop warfare in this trippy short film. The finest in world cuisine re-enact historic battle scenes that culminate in croissant carnage and chip massacre...


Caught on the web: Robot Fight!

Looking more like robots showing off their shapes on the dance floor than an actual fight, this is a reminder that the dangers of machines ruling the planet is a very distant threat.


Anchorman 2 EXCLUSIVE!

Adam McKay was in town yesterday to promote John C Reilly and Will Ferrell's new funny, Step Brothers, and we were lucky enough to grab a bit of time with him. The conversation turned to Wake Up Ron Burgundy, the feature-length tale pulled together from the off-cuts of the original movie (it's out tomorrow Anchor-fans), and the prospect of Anchorman 2: here's what he had to say...

"I’m probably going to do another movie but then after that I think we might go do it, so two years away maybe. I think we have to [make Anchorman 2], I think it would be too much fun, we get to really do some crazy stuff without anyone second guessing us."

And will he be reuniting the Channel 4 News team?

"You have to – we’ll see who wants to come back. I guess the trickiest will probably be Vince Vaughn because his price is so high now and he’s so successful, but I know Rudd, Carell and Koechner have all said they’d come back, so that’s the team, as long as we have the team back we’re ok."

Sweet Lincoln's mullet!

Step Brothers is out in cinemas on the 29 August, and will be reviewed in a future issue
