Other notable DVDs released in May 2008 that we recommend : -

The Air I Breathe Released 20th May 2008 Every so often a film comes along that triumphs despite a patchy (Brendan Fraser) and often mismatched (Sarah Michelle Gellar) cast. This superior crime drama is such a film.

Dans Paris Released 6th May 2008 Christophe Honore's 2006 follow up to controversial Ma Mere starring Isabelle Huppert, is a more accessible movie than would have been expected, and is a surprisingly watchable tragi-comedy.

The Cottage Released 13th May 2008 Superb 2007 British horror com. Not as quite good as Shaun Of The Dead, but then again what is?
