Green Lantern In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for millenniums. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors formed by the different races from entire universe sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected for the Corps: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all. The extended cut included in this Triple Play edition contains 14 minutes of extra footage not seen in the theatrical release. Extra Content:

Bones Season 6
A darkly amusing procedural centred on a highly skilled forensic anthropologist whose expertise lies in her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones. She partners with an FBI agent on murder investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless. In season five, Booth revealed his true feelings to Brennan, who told him she was not able to reciprocate, so he decided he needed to move on. In the emotional season finale, Brennan, Booth and the team each decided to take on new challenges in their lives, with Brennan and Booth both leaving Washington, D.C. for life-changing experiences and vowing to reunite one year later. As season six begins, Cam finds her job as a federal medical examiner and her reputation in danger due to the politics surrounding a stalled case involving the remains of a child on her pathology table. One by one, the team members come home in order to solve the mystery behind the child’s death and to preserve the reputation of one of their own. Also this season, Booth has moved on emotionally, as he told Brennan he needed to do, and has entered into a serious relationship with a war correspondent. Bones Season 6 is released on Blu-ray (£37.49) and DVD (£26.99). |
