Stephen Soderbergh's cinematic swan song is a curious beast. What looks at first to be a timely drama about medical ethics and prescription drugs suddenly changes tack and transforms into the kind of fun-but-dumb thriller you'd expect to have seen Richard Gere and Kim Basinger topline in the 1990s. This BD's AVC 1.78:1 1080p imagery looks entirely true to source (awash with the kind of sickly green and yellow palette the filmmaker favoured recently) and is joined by a suitably restrained DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix. Extras include interviews, promo featurettes, a tongue-in-cheek look behind-the-scenes and commercials for the fake drugs featured in the film.

Samung today announced a partnership with Wuaki.tv, which adds the European streaming service to TV manufacturer's impressive Smart platform. Launched last month in the UK, Wuaki.tv is a unique streaming service that combines subscription, rental and purchasing of movies and TV shows from its extensive catalogue of titles.

Loewe's new 3D Orchestra IS speaker system sees the high-end German brand trying to tackle the 'problem' of integrating authentic 5.1 audio into a regular living space. And, reviewed here alongside the company's new Individual 55 Slim Frame LED TV, the results are somewhat mixed...

Loosely based on Stephen Revello's book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, this film excels at recreating period details, but struggles to find any drama in the true story. This is no doubt why the writers cooked up a pointless plot about Hitch (Anthony Hopkins) being haunted by both the spectre of Ed Gein and a suspicion that his wife Alma (Helen Mirren) is having an affair. The fantastic AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode and sizeable batch of extra features do at least ensure that it's a decent Blu-ray package. And if nothing else, it's sure to leave you wanting to watch Psycho all over again.
