02 June 2012
As usual the Find-DVD team have looked ahead a few weeks into June so we can let you know well in advance about some of the new titles that will be coming out. Here we will feature just a few of the ones that we definitely think a lot of people will have been waiting for but we will include references to many more.
If you still don't see something that interests you then please do feel free to browse the site using the various search options we have set up for you. You can see the DVDs that have only just come out using the new release link, the ones that are coming out in the future (in date order) using the release calendar link or the ones that are the most popular using the link provided for this. If you already have a good idea of the subject of DVD you are looking for you can click on the category links which will list each genre of DVD (eg action, documentary, horror & suspense, international etc) separately. Each category has the option to sort the results by most popular, by price or by release date. You can even refine your search by choosing media types (eg Blu-Ray, HD) or classification (U, PG, 12A etc) if you think this will help.
May saw the release of quite a few DVD titles that we know many of you had been patiently waiting for – some of which won coveted Oscars and other awards in the 2011-2012 awards season. These included War Horse, The Descendants, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Artist. If you have been looking forward to seeing these films and haven't got your copies yet – these are out NOW so order yours straight away. But onwards into June……..
Horrible Histories – Series 3 and Horrible Histories – Complete Series 1-3 Box Set are both due out on 4/6/2012 just in time for half term. This series, covering key events in British and World history, was originally broadcast on CBBC. Due to its highly imaginative programme format and unique attention-grabbing presentation of the subject matter it regularly attracted millions of viewers including many from far beyond the intended age range (6-12 years) of its target audience. Focusing on the gruesome grisly facts that children hideously love to savour and jam-packing every episode with all the action from significant historical eras including the Savage Stone Age, The Rotten Romans, The Vicious Vikings and the Woeful Second World War plus many more, the makers of this series have certainly developed a winning formula. With copious spatterings of blood, guts and poo added for good measure your children will be amused, inspired and thrilled as they learn. The series is based on Terry Deary's best-selling Horrible Histories books.
Goon (a film from 2011) is also out on 4/6/2012. Goon tells the story of Doug Glatt, a bouncer working at a local bar, who is labelled as an under-achiever and is an embarrassment to his family who are all intellectuals. A chance sequence of events leads to him capturing the attention of the coach of the Halifax Highlanders – a semi-pro ice hockey team. He decides Doug would be a great asset to the team (as protector) based purely on his ability to land a fully debilitating right hook. One problem though – Doug can't skate. Will that stop him though…? Goon is directed by Michael Dowse and stars Sean William Scott, Jay Baruchel and Alison Pill.
Francesco's Shakespeare will be released in early June (4/6/2012). This beautifully presented Italian journey (from North to South) is brought to us by well-known Venetian architect and historian Francesco DaMosto. It is the latest addition to the Francesco's series which also includes Francesco's Venice, Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage and Francesco's Italy - Top to Toe. This time we are treated to a privileged glimpse of some of the most exquisitely elaborate architecture and stunning Italian scenery that we are told inspired the great Shakespeare himself. DaMosto takes us from Venice, Verona, Rome and Florence to Napoli, Sicily and Capri, recounting as he goes, the facts surrounding Shakespeare's connection with each area. If you love Italy – this is a real gem.
