LATEST ADDITIONS

This beautifully restored release of Mario Bava's 1960 horror debut Mask of Satan is yet more proof that there are very few other labels that treat cult films with as much care as Arrow Video. Its HD platter kicks off with both the uncut 87-minute version under its original title and the 83-minute US re-edit (re-titled Black Sunday). Adding to the comprehensive feel of the package is the inclusion of Italian and English language tracks for Mask of Satan, and extras including an audio commentary, the complete 1956 film I Vampiri (in SD) and a 54-minute trailer reel for Bava's other work.

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.
