Once again, we look at a few titles in more detail which are due out next week. The prices listed are the current prices on Amazon.
The Hangover Part II In The Hangover Part II, Stu (Helms) is marrying a Thai-American woman (Jamie Chung), and the entire wedding party is flying to Thailand for the ceremony. Quicker than you can say “bachelor brunch,” the boys are off on some kind of mystery adventure that results in some pretty serious, and pretty hilarious repercussions. (There’s an unfortunate tattoo incident, one not easily covered up; there’s an unexplained monkey–in a Rolling Stones shirt–now added to the entourage; and one of the group is missing.) The setup is familiar, but the ensemble of actors is so confident, their chemistry so easy, that the viewer enjoys their long, strange trip with bust-out-loud laughs. It stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms and this is not something I particularly want to see. A lot of people liked the original. I haven’t seen it. Looks a laugh from the trailer, but from what I’ve read, it does nothing new that the original hadn’t already done. The Hangover Part II is released on Blu-ray (£14.99) and DVD (£9.99). |

Frozen Planet – The Complete Series 
The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements – the weather, the ocean and the ice – is unmatched anywhere else on our planet. Yet these harsh environments are teeming with life: home to iconic animals from polar bears to emperor penguins and from killer whales to wandering albatrosses. Using the latest camera technology to film on land, from the air, underwater and below the ice caps, Frozen Planet follows their fascinating lives throughout the seasons as they struggle to survive. With spectacular polar landscapes and amazing animal behaviour, often filmed for the first time, it captures the drama of an extreme natural world. With both Poles under grave threat from climate change, this extraordinary series may be the last chance to witness these great wildernesses before they change forever. Frozen Planet – The Complete Series is released on Blu-ray (£24.99) and DVD (£21.99). |
