Blu-ray

Stripped of his role as official executioner after being falsely accused of wishing for the Shogun's death, Ogami Itto (Tomisaburo Wakayama) opts to spend the rest of his life wandering Japan as an assassin for hire, accompanied by his young son Daigoro (Tomikawa Akihiro) in a tooled-up baby cart.

Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr adds a smidge of international glamour to this British horror-comedy that pits a quartet of unlikeable Inbetweeners wannabes against a werewolf. Neither funny nor scary (outside of the fact that some people genuinely believed that it was worth financing), Love Bite should be avoided like a werewolf avoids silver. The only thing of note about the Blu-ray release is the richly-hued AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode, as even the DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack is limited in its aspirations and 29 minutes of interview soundbites are the only extras. 

Robert Rodriguez's spoof trailer from 2007's Grindhouse seems to be the gift that just keeps on giving for fans of exploitation cinema. But while the first Machete served its main course of blood and babes with a side dish of commentary about immigration, this even more violent sequel has no such lofty pretensions.

While men might have the title to themselves, it's the women who remain the driving force of this engaging TV series. Sure, Don is as enigmatic as ever and watching Lane and Pete get into a punch-up is fun, but its witnessing Peggy, Joan and Megan adjusting to their changing roles in society that provides the real meat for this latest batch of 13 episodes. As always, the AVC 1.78:1 1080p presentation is mouthwateringly good, as is the DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio. Superior extras are split between behind-the-scenes material (such as the two commentaries for every episode) and that with a more historical/educational leaning.

In 2008 Andy and Bárbara Muschietti shot a Spanish-language short film about two young girls and a ghostly mother figure. This highly-effective three-minute shocker soon caught the attention of Guillermo del Toro, and before long he was executive producing this feature-length extension of the short.

For all of its narrative flaws – not to mention its annoying title – there’s a lot to like about this assured debut feature from writer-director Sean Durkin. Not least is Elizabeth Olsen’s incredible central performance as a young woman who flees life in an abusive cult to take refuge with her sister.

When Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) is deleted from existence by a time-travelling alien, Agent J (Will Smith) has to take a trip back to 1969 to save his partner’s life in this overdue third outing in the action-comedy sci-fi franchise.
