Martyrs | DVD Review

You have to feel sorry for Gavin Hood and Hugh Jackman who will, in only a few weeks from now, get to field questions about the incompetence behind a studio's security system. I could have easily given the Lemon of the Week to the individual(s) who lifted an incomplete, working copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and leaked it online, but instead, I'm awarding the honour to 20th Century Fox.

Soderbergh’s Knockout Manning Up with Fassbender, McGregor and Traffic Combo

Soderbergh is turning to his vault and re-teaming not with any Ocean's films players, but Traffic stars Michael Douglas and Dennis Quaid. He'll also have one of the U.K. biggest new talents in Michael Fassbender (who was genius in Hunger and the upcoming Fish Tank) and completing the foursome is Ewan McGregor - someone in need of some juicier supporting roles.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
