Green Lantern: Secret Origins

Green Lantern: Secret Origins

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, an elite, powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. Warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him the ability to create anything his mind can imagine. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Reynolds).

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal’s humanity is one weapon no member of the Corps has ever had, and if – with willpower, determination and the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Lively) – Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax… he will save the Earth and all of mankind from certain destruction.

Green Lantern is released onto 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download from 17 October 2011

Jamie Bell - Retreat

Jamie Bell - Retreat

RETREAT is a tense psychological thriller portraying one couple’s desperate attempt to rekindle their love despite tremendous grief and an unimaginable fear bearing down upon them. In RETREAT there’s no room for error and no getting away!

Taking an isolated break on an uninhabited island Martin (Murphy ) and Kate (Newton ) are about to find that their island retreat is about to become a stone prison of unimaginable terror. When a blood soaked stranger (Bell), stumbles through their door with an apocalyptic story of a virus sweeping across Europe decimating all in its path, their lives are turned upside down as they face the end of everything they know. Using all means necessary, they must fight to escape the approaching threat. But escape is only the beginning of their terrifying fight for survival…

In a series of tense twists, the captive couple are forced to use their ingenuity to outwit the equally volatile and charismatic Jack in an attempt to unravel the real truth.  Loyalties divide and merge and paranoia sets in, culminating in a violent and shocking conclusion.

RETREAT was written by Janice Hallett and Carl Tibbetts and is directed also by Carl Tibbetts.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil on Blu-ray

Tucker & Dale vs Evil on Blu-ray!

Don’t misunderstand us when we say ‘yoh got ah chainse tah ween’ as we’ve got our hands on a few copies of the hilarious gross-out comedy Tucker & Dale vs Evil to give-away to three lucky GeekTowners!

This sure-to-be cult horror, sees gentle hillbillies Tucker (Alan Tudyk – ‘Wash’ in the best sci-fi TV show ever made, Firefly), and Dale (Tyler Labine – ‘Sock’ in the funny but short lived ‘Reaper’) mistaken for murderous backwoods rednecks by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids when the pair head up to their dilapidated mountain cabin where the kids are camping.  It’s not long before a chain of ridiculous misunderstandings and preconceived stereotypes leads to a rapidly rising body count and more than a splattering of blood and gore.

Tyler Labine (Reaper, Dark Angel), Alan Tudyk (Transformers 3, Dodgeball, Serenity) Katrina Bowden (30 Rock) and Jesse Moss (Final Destination 3) star in this gut-bustingly funny horror comedy, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, which is released on DVD and Blu-ray on 26 September.

For your chance to get a copy of the movie on Blu-ray, all you have to do is nosey around the Tucker & Dale vs Evil Facebook page, then Like it to find the hidden ‘TRIVIA’ question in with the photos, then pop back here and select your answer:
