LATEST ADDITIONS

Portly comic Kevin James stars in this surprisingly enjoyable Dodgeball-cum-Rocky MMA comedy, with able support from Henry Winkler and Salma Hayek. Sony's Blu-ray release carries on the feelgood vibes with both pitch-perfect HD visuals and meatily imbued DTS-HD MA sonics. When James' character Scott steps into the octagon for yet another pummelling, you'll think you're right there with him. The extra features are of the expected length and quality – buyers get a range of short featurettes (all in HD), a gag-reel and a chunk of deleted scenes. 

For many people in the UK, Loewe remains either a brand they haven’t heard of at all (in which case, you pronounce it ‘Lerver’!), or a German designer TV brand. It’s not a marque generally associated with audio.

In November 1979, the US embassy in Tehran was overrun by a pro-Ayatollah force that took the personnel hostage. While the world watched the crisis unfold, what nobody outside of the US government knew was that six officials had managed to escape and were holed up in secret at the Canadian ambassador's residence.

During one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes included on this Blu-ray platter, director Ron Fricke describes his latest film as a 'non-verbal guided meditation on the cycle of birth, death and re-birth'. While this might sound terribly pretentious, the truth is that Samsara is one of the most striking hi-def experiences around. Shot entirely in 70mm, scanned in 8K and mastered at 4K, the detail and colour fidelity in the disc's AVC 2.40:1 1080p imagery is unparalleled. The accompanying DTS-HD MA 7.1 soundtrack also impresses with its rich tones and wide staging.
