It’s winter, it’s cold and we all want to be tucked up in bed rather that outside in the grim weather, preferably with some of the hottest Blu ray releases (and some warm buttered popcorn!) Luckily, there are some absolute scorchers due for release on Blu ray this November, so you’ll have plenty of excuses to curl up in front of the telly.
Wallace & Gromit: The Complete Collection
Due for release: 2nd November
Everyone loves Wallace and Gromit, with this Blu ray offering all of their family-friendly favourites on the one disc. Follow nutty inventor Wallace along with his ever faithful hound, Gromit in a complete selection of all of their Oscar winning adventures, including Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death.
Bruno
Due for release: 9th November
Whether you love him or hate him, Sacha Baron Cohen knows how to make comedy that really gets people talking, with Borat, Da Ali G Show and Talladega Nights among his successes. Bruno is the best (or arguably the worst) in his series of cringe-worthy comedy, following the camp character or Bruno as he travels the world in his search for fame. Bruno goes even further than Borat, pulling no punches when it comes to embarrassing celebrities, politicians, terrorists and even cage fighters!
Night at the Museum 2
Due for release: 9th November
If you loved Night at the Museum then Night at the Museum 2 is a definite must for your Blu Ray Collection. Once again the hapless Larry Daly (played by Ben Stiller) finds himself in a museum where things aren’t quite as quiet as they may seem! Expect plenty of action, comedy and slapstick humour in this wild and wacky return to the Smithsonian.
Star Trek
Due for release : 16th November
Possibly the most talked-about film of the year, J.J Abrams’ Star Trek was billed as “not your father’s Star Trek”, but don’t be fooled into thinking he has mangled the much-loved series. Although hugely different to the original Star Trek, this film stays faithful to the characters, setting and feel – yet still provides an amazing roller-coaster ride of action, humour, romance and fun. There are plenty of inside references to keep the Trekkies happy, but not enough that anyone can enjoy this film without feeling excluded or confused.
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Due for release: 23rd November
Ellie, Manny, Sid and Diego are back again in the third film in the computer-generated Ice Age Series. Fans of the first two films will love this return to form, with this family-friendly film a real hit with the kids. Of course, Scrat is back again in his endless and ever-desperate search for an acorn – but this time he may find himself distracted by a rather shapely female squirrel.
The Sopranos Season 1
Due for release: 23rd November
A smash hit both here in the UK and across the pond, this box set of the entire first season of the Sopranos follows Tony Soprano and his dysfunctional American family. But, he and his loved ones hardly live a typical suburban life – juggling his mob clan and nouveau-riche lifestyle leads to some alarming results!
Life
Due for release: 30th November
Life is truly a must-have for every owner of a Blu-ray player and a HDTV. With breathtaking special effects and filming ‘firsts’ from a wondrous variety of habitats and continents. See Earth as you never have before in all its colours and sounds, following the intelligent, innovative and incredible ways that plants and animals survive in often seemingly-inhospitable conditions. It took more than four years to create Life, using all of the latest advances in film, with the series split into ten parts as it transports the viewer all across the natural world in incredible detail.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Due for release: 30th November
Following on from the 2007 smash, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen takes this cartoon and toy franchise to a whole new level. Watch the epic battles between the Decepticons and the Autobots and once again us on Earth are caught in-between. If you are looking for deep emotional scenes, romance and dialogue then Transformers is definitely not for you! This Blu ray is action and adventure packed, with stunning graphics, amazing effects and mind-blowing sound – a must have for lovers of big explosions and adrenaline rushes.
