Cowboys & Aliens 
It’s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival. The cast features Daniel Craig, Clancy Brown, Sam Rockwell and Keith Carridine, and from the trailer, what starts off looking like a typical Wild West film, soon changes halfway through when the aliens arrive and start shooting up the place. Cowboys & Aliens is released on Blu-ray (£14.99) and DVD (£12.99). |
Final Destination 5 
The film opens up with co-workers gathering together for a company retreat. Sam Lawton has prepared the breakfast before the bus ride. His best friend, Peter, is awaiting everyone else’s arrival for the trip. Molly Harper, Sam’s girlfriend arrives and she then breaks up with him, due to his dreams of going to Paris to be an apprentice for his mentor. Meanwhile Peter’s girlfriend, Candice, an intern for the company and a gymnast comes along with rival Olivia Castle. Molly is hit on by Isaac Palmer, a co-worker and womanizer. Sam then goes to the construction wing of the building to find his other friend, Nathan Gregory, a supervisor who has a hard time dealing with construction worker, Roy. Nathan and Sam regroup and head on the bus to their destination. As the bus heads up on the bridge, Sam notices the roads construction is rather suspicious, and he begins to have weird feelings while on the bus. The bus is stopped by a traffic operator, and then the bridge starts to crack. Sam watches as each of the co-workers dies, excluding Molly, who reaches safety. Sam then comes to, realizing that the incident has yet to occur. He and Molly leave the bus, and Peter, Candice, Olivia, Nathan, Isaac, and Dennis follow. The bridge collapses and Sam rushes all of his friends to safety. Well, you know what’ll come next. I haven’t even seen the fourth film yet, which was entitled THE Final Destination, so they clearly lied. And there’s no-one famous in the cast, other than Tony Todd, again. Watching the trailer, it does look like a great deal of fun, though, so I’ll be sure to catch up with No.4 before seeing this. Final Destination 5 is released on Blu-ray/3D (£17.99) and DVD (£9.99). |
Apollo 18 
Grey remains in orbit aboard Freedom while Walker and Anderson land on the moon in the lunar module Liberty. While planting one of the detectors, the pair take samples of strange rocks. While attempting to sleep, the pair hear noises outside and a camera captures a small rock moving nearby. Houston claims the noises are interference from the ICBM detectors. Anderson finds a rock sample on the floor of Liberty despite having secured the samples. During further exploration they discover footprints that lead them to a Soviet LK lander nearby, finding it functional but blood stained. Anderson follows tracks leading into a dark crater and finds a dead cosmonaut. Walker queries Houston about the Soviet presence but is rebuffed, told only to continue with the mission. The film is shot in a mockumentary found-footage style, supposedly of the lost footage of the Apollo 18 mission that was only recently discovered. Apollo 18 is released on Blu-ray (£14.99) and DVD (£10.99). |
