Three years ago, I wrote a comprehensive review of the Blu-ray for Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs the World Blu-ray roughly 18 hours after it arrived on my doorstep. The Blu-ray of his most recent movie arrived a couple of days ago, and I've finished plowing through every last featurette and commentary. The World's End hits Blu-ray in the US two weeks from today.
As always, screengrabs are taken direct from the disc, then resized to 1000pixel width and compressed from PNG to JPG.
Read MoreThe Cry of the Owl is a good example of where the DTV stigma comes from. A lousy, progressively worsening "thriller" based on a novel by a writing legend (Patricia Highsmith). Paddy Considine and Julia Stiles are plenty entertaining, just not in this movie.
A soon-to-be-divorced guy (Considine) moves to a new area, where he stumbles into stalking/peeking in on a woman who lives out in the woods (Stiles). He doesn't watch her get naked or anything, just preparing food and so on. The story doesn't so much twist regarding who is hunting and being hunted, but swerves a few times. I dug the angle of questioning who was being stalked (and consequently, who was doing the stalking), but it all just came out uneven and unnatural.
