DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete First Season

Ratchet and Clank
It’s remarkable that no-one has adapted Ratchet and Clank into a movie sooner. The tale of Lombax mechanic Ratchet and his robot sidekick Clank’s mission to stop the evil Chairman Drek from taking over the galaxy with an army of evil robots is perfect big screen animation fodder, and a rare videogame movie that’s actually pretty good.
Narcos: The Complete Season One
Netflix’s critically adored series, which follows drugs kingpin Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) as he rises from lackey to international cartel leader, finally arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray. Hunting Escobar is DEA agent Steve Murphy, who soon finds that trying to take down one of the world’s most powerful men is no easy task. A must-watch for fans of Breaking Bad.

To celebrate, the film is being re-released on DVD and Blu-Ray; the perfect excuse to relive the life and times of one of punk’s most controversial and iconic figures.
Punch Line: Complete Season 1
If you like your anime slightly insane, Punch Line is definitely for you. It follows a chap named Yuta, whose soul is ejected from his body following a bus jacking.
This incident grants him some unique powers: when he sees a pair of girl’s pants, he gains super strength. But if he sees two pairs of pants in succession, a meteor will destroy Earth. Yuta must use these powers to protect his roommates and find his way back to his body. Told you it was crazy.

The Dark Forest
The Dark Forest is a documentary-style horror which sees two hunting enthusiasts, Jake and Stevie, travel into the woods to film a pilot for a hunting TV show (the brilliantly named The Tree Hugger).
Unfortunately, they forgot rule 101 of horror movies: forests are always evil. The hunters eventually become the hunted, with a supernatural force out to get them and presumably mount them on the wall of their spooky lair. Imagine The Blair Witch Project with more crossbows and you’re almost there.
