I’m going to open that Blu-ray-shaped one first.

P.S. Don’t forget to not go and see Nowhere Boy and Sherlock Holmes tomorrow.

As you know, we absolutely love Blu-ray [that's a little hint for tomorrow] so you can imagine how excited we were to walk down to the Post Office Depot on Saturday morning and find a Special Delivery jiffy bag containing a copy of District 9, the undisputed 13th Best Film Of The Year.

We’re giving one away in our Review of the Year crossword competition and the deadline is tomorrow (I’m sure that date has some other significance as well) so if you haven’t already, get your answer in.

A review
I think we summed up the movie as well as humanly possible in our frankly brilliant review back in September, but I would like to add that every aspect of this brillplosion of a movie is delivered impeccably on Blu-ray. There’s something about stuff shot on digital that translates better than film ever can, and the whole thing looks abso fresh.

This is definitely one of the best Blu-ray releases of the year. Fact.

Send It The Cloons.

If you haven’t watched It’s a Wonderful Life yet this December then it’s high time you remedied the situation. Amazingly enough, this is the sixth year running that it hasn’t been scheduled on terrestrial UK television so that leaves you with three options:

• Okay Option: Buy it on DVD (£11.88 on Amazon but you won’t get it in time for the 25th) and enjoy it in incredible outdated ’standard’ definition.
• Good Option: Pick up the newly-released Blu-ray (£12.68 on Amazon) and see it in beautifully restored 1080p.
• Fucking Boss Option: Pretend it’s ‘the past’ and go to a cinema. It’s on at arty places around the country and you can find your nearest here.

Hooray for sincerity!

They’re not exactly revolutionising the world of marketing are they?

I quite like the title on the first one but the water looks hella lame, and the second one just seems all too familiar…
