DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to the Future Trilogy<\/a><\/strong> (Universal): The time-travel comedy trilogy gets released on Blu-ray for the first time and Universal have put together a package which does full justice to these inventive and much loved films.<\/p>\n

A lot of viewers will be pleasantly surprised how good a job Universal has done with the audio and visual transfer (screenshots can be seen here) and it certainly gives them an added kick if you haven\u2019t seen them in a while. But for most people the reason for getting this box set will be the huge array of extras detailing the production. [Read the full review here<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Alien Anthology<\/a><\/strong> (20th Century Fox): Although this is essentially a Blu-ray upgrade from the previous Alien Quadrilogy boxset, that was one of the best boxsets in living memory.<\/p>\n

However, the HD transfers for Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) have been done with considerable care and attention and there is extra material which will be of interest to fans of the series.<\/p>\n

James Cameron personally oversaw the new transfer of Aliens, the audio for Alien 3 has been upgraded with Charles Dance and Lance Henriksen recording new dialogue and there is a previously unreleased \u2018Alien 3\u2032 documentary which features visual evidence of the nightmare David Fincher had on the set of his directorial debut.

The Guillermo Del Toro Trilogy<\/a><\/strong> (Optimum): Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro is recognised as one of the world’s most visually inventive directors, balancing a career torn between films such as Hellboy with smaller, personal projects such as the three films brought together in this collection \u2013 The Devil’s Backbone (2001), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) and his debut feature, Cronos (1993).<\/p>\n
