Gravity is the big release out this week, and this sci-fi epic won six awards at the recent BAFTAs, and as I type it’s nominated for a clutch of Oscars, but how many will it win?
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock star in this award-winning sci-fi thriller directed by Alfonso Cuarón. Seasoned astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) is on his final mission in space, while medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is making her first outing on the Space Shuttle. While they are engaged in extra-vehicular activity, debris collides into the shuttle, damaging it irreparably. Kowalsky and Stone now find themselves drifting in space with low oxygen supplies and cut off from all communication on Earth. They work together in their attempt to survive but will they make it back to solid ground?
Gravity is out tomorrow on 3D Blu-ray, 2D Blu-ray, DVD and 3D Blu-ray Steelbook.
Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa
After three Jackass films, three series, five Lost Episodes, the team are back with Bad Grandpa where 86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy.
Starring Johnny Knoxville and Jackson Nicholl in the lead roles, the film will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera. Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.
Jackass: Bad Grandpa is out tomorrow on Extended Blu-ray Edition, featuring ten extra minutes of footage, and DVD.
