Not even the combined star power of Fred Astaire (coming back out of retirement after Gene Kelly broke his ankle) and Judy Garland can make Easter Parade anything more than a not-entirely-convincing attempt at repackaging a litany of old MGM musical numbers. Not that any of this has stopped Warner Bros. from delivering yet another gorgeous Technicolor restoration for the film's Blu-ray debut. The richly-coloured AVC 1.37:1 1080p encode and DTS-HD MA mono sonics both flatter the source material, and informative extras include a commentary and 1951 radio adaptation.

Neill Blomkamp hit it big in 2009 with his debut feature, the apartheid parable District 9. Now he's back with yet another dystopian sci-fi satire, but will an extra dose of Hollywood star power allow Elysium to trump its well-respected predecessor?

After barely surviving an invasion by insect-like aliens called the Formic 50 years ago, Earth's military leaders have taken the idea that 'the children are our future' to their hearts. Realising that young minds are the most malleable and adaptable, the military now recruits and trains young children to fight and command the space armada that is massing for the inevitable rematch with the Formic forces.

Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) spends a lot of his time in jail, but not because he's a criminal. Rather, he's a prison break specialist, hired to go undercover in maximum security institutions to find the flaws in their security systems.

Neither a true remake or sequel, this reboot of the Evil Dead franchise sees five friends descend on that cabin in the middle of nowhere to help one of their number, Mia (Jane Levy), kick her drug addiction. However, when they find a mysterious book hidden away in the basement – a book that holds the secret to summoning up an ancient evil – cold turkey is the least of their worries.

90210's AnnaLynne McCord ditches her usual vampish look to play a frumpy social outcast with some serious psychological issues and a love of surgery in this brilliantly odd horror film. First-time director Richard Bates, Jr. mixes elements of Cronenbergian body horror and Lynchian suburban nightmares as he cooks up an extraordinary shocker, and packs it full of arresting imagery that is capably recreated by the Blu-ray's sublime AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio isn't the most expansive you'll hear, but still proves atmospheric. Extras consist of a very interesting commentary by the director and leading lady, plus the trailer.
