The UK release has loads of extras, i presume yours is the same. Were it released now they'd be asking thirty quid for it on Blu.

A fairly large package from Music Magpie arrived yesterday containing Warcraft, Water for Elephants, Anna Karenina, Before I Go to Sleep, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, In the Electric Mist, Rendition, and The Revenant, all for £10.

I haven't seen Warcraft or Water for Elephants, and only bought The Revenant because the 4K Ultra HD release I have was from the set Samsung included with one of their Ultra HD players. There aren't any extra features on the 4K UHD – they are all on the Blu-ray disc and I wanted to watch the featurettes.

I thought Warcraft was unwatchable and ended up turning it off. Really poor, as was Anna Karenina - a film whose style i hated.

I really enjoyed Water for Elephants though, seen it a couple of times on dvd and i also like the underrated In the Electric Mist. I love the writing of James Lee Burke. As far as characters go Tommy Lee Jones take on Dave Robicheaux is rather different to Alec Baldwin in 1996's Heaven's Prisoners.

I'm 99% sure I've seen Anna Karenina and have definitely seen In the Electric Mist, though that was years ago and I can't remember much about it.

I've heard and read negative reviews of Warcraft but, because I think Moon and Source Code, two other films directed by Duncan Jones are very good, I shall try to watch it with an open mind.

You wouldn't know it was by the same guy.
