Each week we take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the home entertainment offerings, reviewing and rating the films and the special features packed onto the discs.
Here are the essential picks from the releases out on the 17th of June 2013.
Release of the Week
The Film
Terence Malick’s Tree of Life divided critics but it was a typically illuminated and unconventional return to the big screen for one of cinema’s enigmas. The relative rush of production on To The Wonder was welcomed by Malick’s fans and for the most part the director does not let them down.
The film follows four people whose intertwining love songs become the heart and soul of the film. There is the evocation of the free spirited love of discovery with Ben Affleck’s tryst with Olga Kurylenko, the cooling and disharmony of »

Cumbrian arts group to screen 1980s cult film at real-life location of Uncle Monty's house, with all proceeds going to charity
To Withnail and I fans, it will always be Uncle Monty's country bolthole, where alcoholic luvvie Withnail and his uptight best friend Marwood go on holiday "by mistake"; the ramshackle Lake District cottage where a rampant Monty tells Paul McGann's character he must have him, "even if it must be burglary".
But this summer the real-life Crow Crag – Sleddale Hall, near Shap in Cumbria – becomes the ultimate open-air cinema where fans like me get to endlessly parrot lines from perhaps the most quotable of quotable cult films (though The Big Lebowski might give it a run for its money).
This calls for a drink! Maybe two large gins, two pints of cider. Ice in the cider.
And perhaps the best thing about it all – in addition to the »

With Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters arriving on Unrated Blu-ray and DVD today, now's the perfect time to hear from writer/director Tommy Wirkola about the film, the upcoming sequel and more.
Check out our exclusive interview with Wirkola below, and look for Hansel & Gretel everywhere right now!
Dread Central: With generations of people having heard and read the tale throughout time, can you discuss your process of putting your own touches on the story of "Hansel & Gretel"?
Tommy Wirkola: I always thought that the fairy tale read as a great first act of anything because it's this fantastically dark and twisted world that leaves the main characters in such a great spot- what happened to them after? So I basically just took that and tried to inject my own sense of humor into it and of course a lot of violence and gore. I just wanted to have some fun with it. »

There's always been a lot of tripping in movies, and man, is it hilarious. People trip all the time. Why, just the other day, I had dropped my backpack on the floor of my apartment right when I walked in, and as I circled back around really quickly I ended up stepping right into ...
Oh. Ohhh. That type of tripping. The one with hallucinogenic drugs. Okay, got it. Yeah, that type of tripping is funny, too. And hey, that's in a bunch of movies as well! Like, say, this week's "This is the End." Or so we hear.
We've counted down for you the Top 15 "tripping" scenes in movies, ranked in order of ... trippiest? We guess?
15. 'Batman Begins' (2005)
The tripping scenes in "Batman Begins" are underrated to the degree that a) they're not done for fun — quite the opposite, in fact — and b) they're kind of an afterthought »

Is John Malkovich a real life hero? How much pot does The Big Lebowski star Jeff Bridges smoke? Which film scared away the box office competition this weekend?
Rumors are flying that Alexander Skarsgard and Ellen Page are officially a couple. Zal Batmanglij, who directed them in The East, posted a photo on Twitter of them looking intimate and cozy, but it could just be that they’re very affectionate buds. [Daily Mail] Actor John Malkovich saved a man’s life in Toronto this weekend. Malkovich was on his smoke break when he saw a 77 year old tourist trip and slash his throat, so Malkovich did the heroic thing and stopped the bleeding with his scarf. [The Wrap] The Dude does not abide pot anymore. Jeff Bridges just revealed that he gave up smoking marijuana years ago and prefers cigars.

With Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters hitting Blu-ray and DVD in just a couple of days, producer Adam McKay had some pretty surprising words about the the film's sequel. Read on for details.
Speaking to Movieweb, McKay dropped the following on fans...
"[Director Tommy Wirkola] is really going to get to roam free on this. I've already started to hear some of the ideas he is working on, and it's pretty insane. This could be one of those instances where the sequel does go further than the first one."
As for whether or not the second part will be another rated R affair...
" I think [Paramount is] worried that they left some money on the table with that one," McKay says of the decision to make the first film R-rated. "There is some discussion about how we're gong to handle that with the second one. We were a little surprised too. I have to be honest about that. »

But now a front-runner has emerged: British actress Carey Mulligan, who most recently starred as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. Mulligan hasn’t officially announced her candidacy for the role of the former first lady, New York senator, and secretary of state, but THR reports that the 28-year-old actress will soon meet with director James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now) about the project.

Just a few weeks ago Dread Central was invited to a special event at Spectral Motion to celebrate the stunning visual effects behind Tommy Wirkola's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
During the event DC's Brian Smith toured Spectral's facility, getting an extensive behind-the-scenes look into the craftsmanship that went into Hansel & Gretel's practical and visual effects for the film's many creatures, witches, and of course Edward the Troll (portrayed by Derek Mears), who ended up stealing the show from his human co-stars.
After the tour we had the opportunity to chat with both Mears and Spectral Motion's Mike Elizalde about their experiences collaborating on Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters to create Edward. Check out our exclusive video interview with the pair below as well as a photo gallery we brought back with us from the event, and look for more with Wirkola later this week.

The Coen brothers have denied rumours that a sequel to The Big Lebowski is being developed.
The rumours gathered steam after a report last year, with some news outlets suggesting that a new film centring on John Turturro's Jesus was already at the casting stages.
While confirming that Turturro was keen to make a second film, the Coens told the Toronto Star that they have no desire to do so.
"John Turturro, who wants it, talks to us incessantly about doing a sequel about his character Jesus," Ethan Coen said. "He even has the story worked out, which he's pitched to us a few times, but I can't really remember it. No, I don't see it in our future."
"I don't think it's going to happen," Joel Coen added. "I just don't like sequels."
The Coens' latest film Inside Llewyn Davies took home the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend. »

If you thought there was a chance you might see Jeff Bridges don his iconic bathrobe one more time we’ve got some troubling news for you. Joel and Ethan Coen are attending the Cannes Film Festival to promote their latest film “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and the duo sat down to answer questions at a press event. Inevitably the conversation turned to their cult classic “The Big Lebowski” and whether or not they would want to take on a sequel.

Although he's only in 'Lebowski' for a couple of scenes, he's a fan favorite, and he's been pitching the Coens on a followup, and has spoken to the press about it too (read all about it in our feature 5 Things You Might Not Know About The »
