Blu-ray

It may not be quite as sophisticated as the awards-hype led us to believe, but this likeable film still manages to inject some much-needed intelligence, strong performances and a sense of emotional realism back into the usually trite rom-com genre. Entertainment in Video's hi-def release provides a slightly dull AVC 2.40:1 108 encode that often lacks detail – although this appears to be endemic of the source material rather than the disc itself. The DTS- HD MA 5.1 mix is more accomplished, with superb dynamic range. Ten cast and crew interviews are the only extras.

Not even the combined star power of Fred Astaire (coming back out of retirement after Gene Kelly broke his ankle) and Judy Garland can make Easter Parade anything more than a not-entirely-convincing attempt at repackaging a litany of old MGM musical numbers. Not that any of this has stopped Warner Bros. from delivering yet another gorgeous Technicolor restoration for the film's Blu-ray debut. The richly-coloured AVC 1.37:1 1080p encode and DTS-HD MA mono sonics both flatter the source material, and informative extras include a commentary and 1951 radio adaptation.

Having wrapped up an eight-year term as Governor of California, it was no surprise to learn that Arnold Schwarzenegger was planning a return to the silver screen. But at 65-years of age, many wondered if the former superstar would still have what it takes to kick-ass with the best of them.

An old face returns to torment our undead heroes, and an even older face tempts them down a path nobody could have predicted, in this latest season of HBO's gory, sexy and curiously camp supernatural series. The end result isn't the best the show has ever been, but it shows clear signs of improvement from the previous season.

Set 60 years prior to the events of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit tells the story of reluctant adventurer Bilbo Baggins, who joins the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their former home and the treasure it contains from the dragon Smaug. Or, at least, that's the idea behind J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved children's book.

Forget mega-budget blockbusters like Spider-Man and Oz: The Great and Powerful – for most knowledgeable film fanatics Sam Raimi will always be remembered as the man who gave us the Evil Dead trilogy.
