The top 3 DVD releases 15th, 22nd and 26th December 2008

1. Pier Paolo Pasolini Vol.2 A second collected volume of Italian neo-realist director Pier Paolo Pasolini, one of the most notorious film directors of all time. This volume includes three wonderful films: Hawks And Sparrows, Oedipus Rex and Pigsty.

2. Man on Wire A documentary charting the day of August 7th 1974, when young Frenchman named Philippe Petit illegally rigged a wire between the New York's twin towers and started to cross the wire in a tight rope walk / dance that would last over an hour. An absolutely fascinating and gripping documentary.

3. The Love Guru Everyone is waiting for Mike Myers to make a bad film - keep waiting. This is another truly funny Myers movies stuffed with some great gags, and again proves he is one of the very few universal talents making comedy these days.

1. Doctor Who: Battlefield One of the few McCoy stories worth hunting down. This story revisits Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and the faithful yellow car Bessie. Doctor and Ace get themselves caught up in an Arthurian adventure.	2. Not Going Out collection Take two of the countries finest gag merchants Tim Vine and Lee Mack, give them zero budget and get them to attempt to make a sitcom that could be sold to America.

It leaves one huge question unanswered - why can't I earn any money?
