Nymphomaniac Vol I. & Vol II. on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

Nymphomaniac shows that Lars Von Trier doesn’t do things by halves, as his latest opus makes it to Blu-ray and DVD in a 2-part story totalling a shade over four hours. Vol.I begins with Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) being found in an alley by an innocent, old man called Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), since she’s been beaten […]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 gives Andrew Garfield his inevitable second appearance as the titular hero, given the success of 2012′s first outing. And given the packed crowds on Good Friday for this sequel, no doubt Sony will be happy to bankroll TASM 3 for 2016. In fact, director Marc Webb has already confirmed he will […]

Divergent – The DVDfever cinema review

Divergent is one of those post-apocalyptic dramas.. dystopian near-future, blah blah blah… and in this one, the war has forced the government to segregate everyone into one of five factions: Erudite – the place for all the clever-clogs; Amity – the ones who like to plow the field and scatter; Candor – those who always […]

Midsomer Murders: The Killings of Copenhagen – The 100th Episode on DVD – The DVDfever Review

Midsomer Murders has now reached 100 episodes and I have to admit that this was the first episode I have ever seen of it, but I wanted to see it because it features Borgen’s Katrine Fønsmark, aka Birgitte Hjort Sorensen, as one of the Danish policewomen called in to the investigation within. The chairman of […]

Transcendence leads the new cinema releases & trailers – w/e April 25th 2014

April 24th, 2014 Dom Robinson

transcendenceThis weekend there are three new films out for consideration. Johnny Depp leads the releases in Transcendence, then Cameron Diaz in adultery comedy The Other Woman, and British film We Are The Freaks.

Transcendence

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him.

However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed-to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can…but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

Kick-Ass 2 The Game – Trailer

April 24th, 2014 Dom Robinson

kick-ass-2Kick-Ass 2: The Game is a new videogame, released on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, obviously based on Kick Ass 2 the movie, but while the latter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Morris Chestnut, Claudia Lee and Christopher Mintz-Plasse had a cult following, this game is unlikely to.

In fact, Kick-Ass 2: The Game looks like an afterthought that someone really shouldn’t have thought about, and one of the worst beat-em-ups ever. It was due for release originally in February, so has presumably slipped back, as even the official Facebook page hasn’t updated the date. And in any event, it’s missed not just the cinema release, but the December DVD release by a country mile.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 – Official Opening Scene – Animation Sequel HD

April 23rd, 2014 Dom Robinson

how-to-train-your-dragon-2How To Train Your Dragon 2 is the sequel to… yes, you guessed it.

That said, this was airing in Odeon cinemas last weekend, and presumably beyond, preceeding The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I’m not a massive fan of CGI kids films, as regular readers will know, but when I’ve sat through multiple bloody adverts, then multiple trailers, including one for this film in 3D! And then we get… a five-minute opening scene for this film – which was actually in 2D, so rather a con there – I was just thinking, “When will Spider-man start!!!???”

It’s been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favourite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 features the voices of Kit Harington, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett, Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, T.J. Miller, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Djimon Hounsou, Craig Ferguson and it’s released on July 4th in the UK.

Warface – Xbox 360 Launch Trailer

April 23rd, 2014 Dom Robinson

warface
Warface is a free first-person shooter, from Crytek, which has just been launched on Xbox 360, after coming out on PC last October. A PS3 version has been forever promised since 2012, but has yet to make an appearance.

The game features four different classes: Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, and Sniper; the main functions of each class acting in a similar manner to Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Each class has its own unique type of primary weapons (e.g. assault rifles for the Rifleman) and “specials” (excluding the sniper class) and are each uniquely suited for different roles.

Bear in mind it’s a free game, so when I saw the trailer I thought, “This ain’t Call of Duty!”

So it didn’t work for me, but maybe it will for you. Check out the Warface trailer below: Read more »

Veronica Mars – DVD released on May 12th

April 22nd, 2014 Dom Robinson

veronica-mars

Veronica Mars is a film which started life as a TV series from 2004-2007, with Kristen Bell as a high-school student, then going to college, all the while moonlighting as a private investigator. The series picked up a cult following, so when Bell and creator Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter project last March to raise $2m to fund a movie, they achieved that in ten hours and raised $5.7m in total.

The DVD is released on May 12th, and oddly, there’s no Blu-ray release, although this low-budget film already did the rounds on March 14th on iTunes, Google Play, Sky Store, Virgin Media, BT TV, Blinkbox, Xbox Video, Playstation Store, Dixons KnowHow Movies, Wuaki and UPC in Ireland, so maybe there’s not many people left to buy it who are going to?

The DVD does feature an exclusive extra, however: By The Fans: The Making of the Veronica Mars Movie – Rob Thomas, Kristen Bell and the entire Veronica Mars cast take you from its record-breaking Kickstarter launch to the first day on set and beyond!

Also released on the same day is a DVD Complete Boxset of the entire 64-episode TV series.

Synopsis:
Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) has put Neptune and her amateur sleuthing days behind her on the eve of graduating law school. While interviewing at high-end law firms, Veronica gets a call from her ex-boyfriend Logan (Jason Dohring) who has been accused of murder. Veronica heads back to Neptune just to help Logan find an attorney, but when things don’t seem right with how Logan’s case is perceived and handled, Veronica finds herself being pulled back into a life she thought she had left behind.

Written and directed by series creator Rob Thomas, Veronica Mars stars original show cast members Kristen Bell (House of Lies, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Jason Dohring (The Ringer), Read more »
