The Infected return in 28 Weeks Later on DVD...

Danny Boyle's original movie, 28 Days Later, was hailed a classic when it was released in 2002, but I thought it blew chunks, but I still thought I'd give the sequel a chance, especially as it contained a brand new cast and had a different writer and director.

It has a largely similar feel to the original, and is also set in London, but was so much better and is a fantastic piece of entertainment, starring Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack Rose Byrne.

28 Weeks Later is online and out on DVD now.

news page pic A murder proves to be an inconvenience in Jindabyne on DVD...

Released today:

Starring Gabriel Byrne and Laura Linney, four men chance upon the body of a young woman in the river, but choose to continue their fishing trip instead of reporting it to the police.

Jindabyne is online and out on DVD from today.

news page pic Channel 4 ruins The Simpsons on DVDfever's Youtube channel...

It's bad enough when a TV channel has to resort to 'onscreen nexts' and dumb channel logos to get their branding across, but the appearance of new channel 'Channel 4+1', i.e. the same thing on Channel 4, but an hour later, has led to them squashing up the picture in order to cram in an announcement for it, and all while the programme is on!

Also uploaded recently is a BBC Breakfast interview with Mickey Rooney who doesn't look long for this world, Channel 4+1 trailers to promote Shameless and Gordon Ramsay, two members of Girls Aloud appearing alongside Chanelle on BBLB last week and also the 'Best Bits' from the entire Big Brother 8 in a mere 9 minutes.
