The original Australian comedy series that inspired the US remake comes to DVD.
2nd February 2012
The original version of Wilfred, the multi-award winning Australian comedy series about a foul-mouthed, beer-swilling, pot-smoking dog that thinks it's human (and the inspiration behind the recent US remake starring Elijah Wood), comes to DVD on 12th March 2012 as two separate releases, Wilfred: Season One and Wilfred: Season Two, both courtesy of Fabulous Films. Much edgier, slightly more sinister in tone and infinitely funnier than its toned down US counterpart, Wilfred is the brainchild of writers and stars, Jason Gann and Adam Zwar, and series director Tony Rogers and is a must-see show for comedy fans and for anyone who enjoyed the Americanized remake, which also stars Gann in the title role, but wants something with a bit more bite.
The definitive DVD collection of the seminal 1970s sci-fi adventure TV series, The Six Million Dollar Man.
25th January 2012
For anyone growing up in the 1970s there were several TV series that could be described as "essential viewing", but none were more deserving of that accolade than The Six Million Dollar Man, the TV series that mixed Bond-ian espionage action with sci-fi adventure and, along the way, became a pop culture institution. Now, The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection is coming to DVD as a 40-disc set, featuring every episode from each of the show's five seasons, plus the three original TV movies that started it all, along with the three further TV movies that followed in the late 1980s and early 90s. Additionally, this edition includes extensive stills galleries and episode guide booklets exclusive to the UK release, making this the world's most definitive Six Million Dollar Man DVD collection. [Please note that due to the extensive number of DVDs (40 in to tal) included in this release and the expenses involved in producing and mailing out the check discs, we unfortunately only have a limited supply of review copies available. As such, may we ask that if you would like to request review copies then please contact Almar Haflidason (e-mail almar@the-associates or by phone on 020 7291 5920), if possible providing details of the review coverage you have planned.]

From award-winning filmmaker Jon Knautz, writer-director of the cult hit horror-comedy " Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer", comes The Shrine, "a wonderfully eerie slice of Lovecraftian horror" (BeyondHollywood.com) that sets itself up as a traditional genre entry before brilliantly and unexpectedly pulling the rug from beneath the viewer with a killer twist. Starring Aaron Ashmore (Smallville; Veronica Mars), Cindy Sampson (Supernatural; Reaper) and Meghan Heffern (The Fog; Chloe), The Shrine has been hailed as "true-blue horror all the way... uncompromising and aggressively nasty" (FearNet.com) and gained plaudits for its "great story arc, solid writing and acting, and a last act that'll blow you away" (AnythingHorror.com).

Brilliantly choreographed and highlighted by "a series of action set-pieces of nail-biting intensity" (Time Out, Hong Kong) including an astonishing shootout set within the claustrophobic confines of a lift, The Sniper is "a wild action movie that goes right for the jugular" (Beyond Hollywood.com).

The remarkable story of Hollywood's most prolific and influential writer-director-producer, the legendary Roger Corman, is the subject of director Alex Stapleton's affectionate, witty and hugely entertaining documentary, Corman's World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel, which charts the Oscar winning filmmaker's career from his early days working in the mail room at 20th Century Fox to the set of one of his most recently produced "creature features", "Dinoshark".

18th January 2012
From Michele Soavi, director of "The Church" and "The Sect", comes Dellamorte Dellamore (aka The Cemetery Man), a surreal blend of George Romero gore, Dario Argento style and 'Monty Python' irreverence, and arguably the weirdest zombie movie ever made. Based on the novel by Tiziano Sclavi, creator of the cult comic book hero "Dylan Dog", the film stars Rupert Everett (Stardust; St. Trinian's; Shrek), Anna Falchi (The Princess And The Pauper) and Francois Hadji-Lazaro (Brotherhood Of The Wolf; The City Of Lost Children) in a bizarre tale of a gravedigger in charge of a cemetery where the dead refuse to stay that way.

Seiji Chiba, director of the cult hits "Ninja Girl", "Alien Vs.

Ninja), Daisuke Nagakura (Big Man Japan), Kentaro Shimazu (Robo-Geisha; Tokyo Gore Police; The Machine Girl) and Ben Hiura (Alien Vs. Ninja; Zatoichi). A cerebral ninja movie full of twists and intrigue, Ninja Battle also capably delivers the martial arts and swordplay action promised by its title as once again Seiji Chiba proves himself to be one of the genre's leading cult directors.
