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

Avatar: Collector’s Extended Edition<\/a><\/strong> (20th Century Fox Home\u00a0Entertainment): James Cameron’s sci-fi blockbuster finally gets the special edition treatment after a barebones release back in the Spring.<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

The major selling point for\u00a0this package is that it contains three different cuts: the original theatrical release, the special edition re-release, and the exclusive extended cut not shown in theaters, along with\u00a0eight hours of bonus features that exhaustively detail the production of the film. [Buy it on Blu-ray<\/a> or DVD<\/a>]<\/p>\n

City Lights<\/a><\/strong> (Park Circus): The 1931 silent comedy-drama from Charlie Chaplin<\/a> sees The Tramp fall in love with a beautiful, blind flower girl and form an unlikely friendship with a wealthy man.<\/p>\n

Still one of the landmark films of the 1930s, this restoration on Blu-ray comes with some nice features including a documentary and outtakes. [But it on Blu-ray<\/a>]<\/p>\n

The Last Boy Scout<\/a><\/strong> (Warner Home Video): Although it criticised at the time, this 1991 action thriller directed by Tony Scott and written by Shane Black is wonderfully slick entertainment.<\/p>\n

Starring Bruce Willis as a private eye caught up in the world of illegal sports, it is a surprisingly edgy mainstream film with some hilariously cynical humour and world weary performances. The studio were reportedly upset with the film but the Blu-ray release is a chance to\u00a0appreciate\u00a0Scott’s visual tricks in all their widescreen glory. [Buy it on Blu-ray<\/a>]<\/p>\n
