A tale of domestic violence gets out of control in Bedevilled on Blu-ray...
Released today:
A movie with rather a false start is on offer here as it's not really about Seoul city girl Hae-won, but her
friend Bok-wan, who lives on a faraway island that time, and civilisation, seems to have forgotten and life has
been very unkind to her, but can Hae-won offer any solace?
Bedevilled
is online and out now on Blu-ray and DVD.

Jean Reno is a mobster who wants to get out while he's still alive in 22 Bullets on Blu-ray...
Out now:
Jean Reno plays a mobster who's been out of the game for three years and wants the quiet life - easier said than
done, especially when a group of men turn up and blast him into next week, leaving 22 bullets in his body, and many
more littered around. But they didn't kill him - and that was their major mistake...

The old-timers are out for a good time in Red on Blu-ray...
Out now:
Banding together a group of old-timers for a modern-day thriller isn't a new idea, but sometimes it can be a
rewarding one. It clearly didn't work for The Expendables, so can Willis, Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren
put right where Stallone et al went wrong?

Did Mark Zuckerberg invent the Social Network on Blu-ray...
Released today:
Seven years ago, Mark Zuckerberg had an idea to compare the images of girls on his computer from his Harvard dorm,
and quickly became the most well-known loner on campus, but was it all his original idea or did he borrow a few
tips from others? Well, it's based on a true story so you know the answer to that. Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield
and Justin Timberlake star in a movie which last night won Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director
for David Fincher, but did it deserve all of these? Find out in this review.

Also out today,
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Helen M Jerome
takes a look at a film which is director Sylvain Chomet's full-length follow-up to 2003's Belleville Rendez-Vous
and she describes it as "the perfect antidote for anyone growing weary of non-stop action flicks or over-scripted
dramas filled with endless talking heads". So sit back and enjoy his latest movie as, and Helen continues, "For
when Chomet animates, it is with the care and attention of a master."

This is the fourth film in the series, and a man is murdered by vampire in the centre of Tokyo's pedestrian scramble
crossing, and once the virus is out, it causes a blackout across the whole of Japan which spreads to the entire world.

to make a fortune, but having served time in prison for insider trading and securities fraud, he's back and wants
to make amends with his daughter and her boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf... while making a little money on the side. Can
he get back up on top again?
