Finally 2010 gives us some home movie and television releases worth talking about. With the snow slowly starting to melt around the country it is once again safe to venture outside the door and persue visual treats to bring back to the family.
*** Competition Closed *** *** Congrats to Peter, Sam and Emer *** *** who pick up a copy of G.I. Joe on dvd *** We have a huge sack of goodness for all you couch potatoes this week.

*** Competition Closed *** *** Congratulations to Tikkin, who has won the Watchmen DVD and Book ** The Watchmen movie is probably the best comic book adaptation there’s been and it’s one of the best films I’ve seen this year. Rick reviewed the film in February: This is no superhero movie. This is an adaptation I’ve been waiting for 20 years for as the battered Comedian badge on my bag testifies, and one that I really like. This is 1985 with the superpowers at five to midnight and Tricky Dick with his finger…On. The. Button. This is costumed heroes that assassinate presidents, attempt rape, lay waste to Vietnam and carve up kiddie fiddlers with cleavers. This is a narrative with no villain. And no heroes. Just endless brightly coloured shades of grey. This is a whodunit only you don’t find out ’til the end what’s been done… Epic WIN. Watchmen is … There’s more
