I'm sure this movie really needs no introduction whatsoever. Winner of 4 Oscars, including Best Picture, this historical epic, featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, will enthrall you. Director Tom Hooper, who also directed such TV classics as "John Adams" and "Elizabeth I", tells the tale of the stuttering king with great skill and attention to detail, always walking a thin line between the comical and the dramatic. An instant classic. Available on DVD

Rabbit Hole
"Rabbit Hole" is a heartbreaking study of a couple's struggle to cope with the death of their child as a result of a car accident. Riddled with guilt, they try to find the strength to carry on, not just to learn to live with the pain, but also to salvage their marriage. Wonderfully acted (Oscar nomination for Nicole Kidman), written ( by David Lindsay Abaire, based on his own play) and directed, the movie is one of the best movies of 2010. Available on DVD

and Blu-Ray.Mortal Kombat
With all the interest the Machinima web-series is generating, I suppose it's a great time to cash in on the "Mortal Kombat" hysteria. So there you are, a Blu-Ray release for the 1995 Paul W.S. Anderson cheesefest. Much better than its sequel, and still great fun, if you can take the "so bad it's good" school of thought, it was kind of lacking in the violence department, quite unlike the videogame. I can't be sure, as the web-series has only just started, but I feel like Anderson's shameless B-flick style was more fun than the wannabe gritty delusions of the overly-serious web-series. We'll see. Watch Episode 1 here.
The Way Back
Based on the (heavily disputed) true story , the movie details the adventures of a group of Siberian Gulag prisoners who escape and walk over 4000 miles of the most dangerous terrain imaginable, all the way to India. Featuring a great cast : Ed Harris, Colin Farrell, Saoirse Ronan, Jim Sturgess and Dragos Bucur, the movie is grand in scope and fairly entertaining, but sometimes lacks the emotional punch it needs to fully connect with the audience. Still, six-time Oscar nominated director Peter Weir delivers a visually stunning epic. Available on DVD
