DVD Monday: Today’s best releases

It’s Monday, which means the shops are full of gleaming DVD and Blu-rays once more. Here’s what should be saucering your eyes later today after a trip to the shops (or when the postie has delivered your online goodies, you modern-day shoppers you).

TV goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, as the guys who are born to folk return in Flight Of The Conchords: The Complete Second Season (Warner Home Video/HBO) and the recently-screened Psychoville: Series 1 (2 Entertain) weirds its way onto disc. Meanwhile, Bear Grylls proves that he’s a born survivor in the aptly named Bear Grylls: Born Survivor - Complete Season One (Demand), while anyone who didn’t Sky+ the Wimbledon 2009 Men's Final between Federer and Roddick can see it again courtesy of Target Entertainment.

In film, the big hitter is Nic Cage’s Knowing (E1 Entertainment), where a bit of paper predicts his future (no, it’s not his P45). Vamps also get a decent outing today, with Horne and Corden “comedy” Lesbian Vampire Killers and superior Swedish flick Let The Right One In both out today from Momentum Pictures.

Our favourite DVD today is West Bromwich Albion: Season Review 2008/09 - The Beautiful Game (Cornerstone Media). Optimistic titling for a team that got relegated last season...

High-def fans also have a good selection of Blu-rays to pick up today, including Knowing, Lesbian Vampire Killers, Let the Right One In and Psychoville: Series 1 – all mentioned above.

Eighties fans will get a kick out of About Last Night, Blue Thunder and St Elmo's Fire, as Sony Pictures Home Entertainment polishes up its back catalogue. There are also some period dramas on offer, with Edge Of Love and Good Night, And Good Luck being released by Lionsgate.

But the Blu-ray of the day has to be the outstanding Children Of Men, as Clive Owen struggles to protect a young girl in a dystopian future where there are no kids.
