• Hancock (DVD) (2-Disc Unrated Special Edition) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3 Will Smith (Actor) | Charlize Theron (Actor) | Jason Bateman (Actor) | Lennon Thomas

  Amidst an onslaught of superhero movies in recent years, Peter Berg's Hancock may have pointed the way for a new wave of "antisuperhero" movies. This subversive action comedy stars Will Smith as the titular superhero whom nobody likes, having caused as much harm as help to the populace. But moviegoers love Hancock regardless, as the film grossed more than US$600 million in box-office worldwide. Based on an original script rather than a comic book, the film depicts Hancock (Smith) as a depressed, drunken dude who possesses great power but not-so-great responsibility. The people begin to turn against him, until a PR executive (Jason Bateman of TV's Arrested Development) whose life he saved teaches him to mend his image. Complications ensue when Hancock falls in love with his new friend's wife, played by Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron.

• 300 (3 Disc Limited Collector's Edition) (US Version) DVD Region 1 Gerard Butler (Actor) | David Wenham (Actor) | Stamp Terence (Actor) | Vincent Regan (Actor)

  Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle. Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) plays Leonidas, the king of ancient Sparta. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy, and Leonidas won't kneel to the demands of Persia's King Xerxes (LOST's Rodrigo Santoro). Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against Xerxes's army of millions. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headley, THE BROTHERS GRIMM) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements as she butts heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, THE WIRE). With its gore and scale, 300 marks director Snyder as a possible successor to Peter Jackson's throne. Jackson also got his start in horror with BAD TASTE and DEAD ALIVE, and the two men share a penchant for ambitious battle scenes. The huge fights in 300 rival Jackson's efforts in the LORD OF THE RINGS films. David Wenham, who starred in two of the Tolkien-based films, plays Dilios, one of the Spartan soldiers. Though the cast doesn't boast any A-list stars, the actors ably fill their larger-than-life roles. In a film filled with men, Headley stands out as Queen Gorgo. She matches her warrior husband in strength, while showing love toward Leonidas and their son. Though there are scenes that demonstrate the humanity of the characters, 300 is undeniably about bravery and blood, and it succeeds because of the stylish depictions of both. "The surreal ode to extreme combat is part Fellini freak show, part LORD OF THE RINGS-style blood feast, and all adrenaline rush....Its bruised beauty is enhanced by an inky palette..." - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 03/07/2007 3 stars out of 4 -- "[Director Zack Snyder] keeps the action roaring....300 dazzles as spectacle..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 03/22/2007 3 stars out of 5 -- "Everyone is loving 300 for perfectly valid reasons. It is a visual feast....The style exceeds mere competence and satisfies all promise." - Fred, Topel (Ultimate DVD Critic), Ultimate DVD, 03/01/2007 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t looks incredible....Not real, not surreal, 300 is something else, a hyperreal realm where myth gasps to life." - Jamie, Russell (Film Critic), Total Film, 05/01/2007 "[W]ith a visual style that injects new energy into the sword-and-sandals epic." - Annlee, Ellingson (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 05/01/2007 "[I]ts technical achievement is beyond question....The film's presentation of the cities and battlegrounds of ancient Greece can only be considered a marvel, vividly rendered through a digitised expressionist palette..." - Andrew, Osmond (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 05/01/2007 "Snyder uses every trick in the bloodletting playbook, and invents a few new ones, to stage one of history's greatest last stands." -- Grade: B+ - Marc, Bernardin (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 08/10/2007 "[I]t is less spectacle than blood rite in which history and myth almost literally bleed into each other." - Gavin, Smith (Film Critic), Film Comment, 01/01/2008

• Iron Man (DVD) (Mark III Mask Edition) (Limited Edition) (Korea Version) DVD Region 3 Gwyneth Paltrow | Jeff Bridges | Shaun Toub | Jon Favreau

  Based on the long-running Marvel comic book, Iron Man went on to earn over $300 million at the North American box office, becoming the first blockbuster of 2008. Not bad for a character considered a "second stringer" among Marvel's lineup of heroes. Director Jon Favreau struck gold when he cast the troubled but talented Robert Downey, Jr. in the lead role as Tony Stark, Iron Man's playboy alter ego. Known for his history of personal difficulties, Downey brings a depth and talent usually not seen in actors headlining similar summer fare, and won universal acclaim for his performance. Surrounding Downey is an A-list cast of talent, including Terrence Howard (Hustle and Flow), Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love), and Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski). A visual effects-packed action film with remarkable characters, Iron Man is a rare summer spectacle popular with both audiences and critics. Industrialist, inventor and notorious playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) has it all: fame, fortune and women. His Stark Industries supplies the United States government with technologically-advanced instruments of war, and Stark is perfectly fine with it - until he's kidnapped by a rogue terrorist faction, and asked to assemble a deadly missile from illegally purchased Stark Industries weaponry. Faced with the human cost of his inventions, Stark vows to use his intellect for good. Instead of building a missile, he constructs an armored suit that allows him to escape from his captors, and goes about building new armors with even more advanced weapons and capabilities. Instilled with a new, righteous purpose, Stark brings the fight back to the terrorists, piloting the gold-and-red Iron Man Mark III Armor into battle against the tyrants misusing his inventions for personal gain. The Mark III Mask Edition comes with two DVDs packaged in a replica of Iron Man's red-and-gold Mark III helmet.
