Blu-ray

The title of this Blu-ray boxset may be lacking in inspiration, but the same certainly can't be said of the quartet of films it contains…

It may lack the scope of Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away, but My Neighbour Totoro is every bit their equal in terms of pure storytelling and unbridled imagination – it remains one of the most iconic and affecting films in the Studio Ghibli pantheon. Unlike some previous releases in the range, …Totoro hasn't had all of its native grain filtered out, resulting in a much more authentic look for this hi-def incarnation. Audio comes in LPCM stereo Japanese or English options, while extras include a picture-in-picture storyboard mode, numerous short interviews with the Japanese filmmakers and the US voice cast, plus a selection of trailers.

Following the critical and commercial success of his films J'accuse! (1919) and La Roue (1922), French filmmaker Abel Gance concocted an audacious plan to shoot a series of six films following the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. However, unable to drum up the funds needed to make all six, Gance was forced to stop shooting after a couple of years and instead contented himself with the creation of one epic movie culminating with Boney's invasion of Italy.

Inspired by a freelance TV crew he encounters at the scene of a traffic accident, small-time criminal Louis 'Lou' Bloom (a shockingly gaunt Jake Gyllenhaal) decides that his future lies in a new line of work. Equipping himself with a camera and police scanner, and prowling the nocturnal streets of L.A., Lou demonstrates a natural talent when it comes to getting hold of the most sensationalist footage imaginable. But just how far is he willing to go to stay on top of the competition?

If you like your cartoons to come drenched in blood and full of action, then we have no doubt that this ultra-violent anime classic is already one of your favourites. Manga Entertainment's limited edition steelbook release includes both BD and DVD copies, with the former disc sporting a cleanly delineated AVC 1.33:1 1080p encode – although frozen grain betrays the use of noise reduction tools during the restoration. The Japanese LPCM stereo track is joined by a DTS-HD MA 5.1 English dub. Extras include a chat-track, TV spot and 26-page booklet.

Liam Neeson further cements his place as Hollywood's go-to guy for slightly over-the-top action thrillers with this taut, fast-paced, high-altitude adventure.

Lars von Trier's four-hour, two-movie epic tells the story of self-confessed nymphomaniac Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). Having been assaulted and left lying beaten in an alley, she is discovered by a lonely bachelor called Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) who takes her into his home. While recuperating, she passes the time by telling her saviour about her sordid life, splitting the saga into eight chapters.
