125° Surely this is a fantastic deal.

The Naked Gun (Dir. David Zucker, 1988): Those screw-loose Airplane! creators have done it again! Leslie Nielsen stars as Police Squad's own granite-jawed, rock-brained cop Frank Drebin, who bumbles across a mind-control scheme to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, a stuffed beaver, two baseball teams and an odd assortment of others join the wacko goings-on and blow the laugh-o-meter to smithereens.

The Naked Gun 2 1/2 - The Smell Of Fear (Dir. David Zucker, 1991): Lt Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) loves a mystery. Why are we here? Is there life after sex? Yes, Drebin tackles the big issues - and the biggest of all is how to stop devious Quentin Hapsburg's (Robert Goulet) plan to destroy the environment!

Returning with Nielsen in this hilarious Naked Gun sequel are Priscilla Presley as Jane, the woman who can melt a cheese sandwich from 20 paces, and George Kennedy as intrepid Captain Ed Hocken. The gang's all here. And so are the laughs. Like Drebin, you're gonna love it.

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult (Dir. Peter Segal, 1994): Oscar night. Who will win? Who will lose? And will someone please kick that numbskull offstage?

Wait! That's no ordinary numbskull. That's Lt Frank Drebin, crashing the ceremonies to stop a terrorist plot that could mean curtains for him - or will a simple window shade be enough? Yes, back with a hilarious three-peat and a state-of-the art advance in sequel numbering are the filmmakers you love, the returning stars you adore, plus others getting Naked for the first time: Fred Ward, Anna Nicole Smith and more folks you'd happily give your seat to on a crowded bus. The fun begins when...oops; we don't want to give away the gags. No. You'll have to pay for them. You'll be glad you did!

Starring Hugh Jackman as the titular character, X-Men Origins: Wolverine explores the violent past of the feral fighter, shedding light and shredding skin along the way! Packing a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital copy that you can enjoy on the go, this is more Wolvie for your bub - sorry, buck!

Play.com Review

Undoubtedly the star of the X-Men movie trilogy, Hugh Jackman makes his return as the iconic, titular character of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Showing his diversity earlier in the year with his dramatic turn opposite Nicole Kidman in Australia, the mutton-chopped, big-haired Jackman returns, with a powerful performance of a different kind, in this action packed X-Men prequel.

The premise of the film is simple, as it explores the violent past that the amnesiac Wolvie is unaware of in the X-Men films. Jackman slips back into the role of our favourite comic book Canuck as if those adamantium bones were his own, given an imposing nemesis in the form of Sabretooth, with Liev Schreiber (The Omen) really getting his teeth into the role. The superb opening sequence, which depicts Wolverine and Sabretooth side-by-side in many famous wars throughout the decades, gives a real sense of the history the two share, as well as the ferocity they are capable of. Whilst their tumultuous relationship is central, the film also explores the 'Weapon X' Program behind Wolverine's adamantium skeleton and resulting memory loss. With this comes a host of supporting characters including the mastermind of the program, William Stryker (Danny Huston - 30 Days of Night), and the wise-cracking, scene-stealing, "merc with a mouth" Deadpool, played excellently by Ryan Reynolds (Smokin' Aces). There are plenty of other mutant cameos throughout, such as the long-awaited appearance of the kinetically charged fan favourite Gambit, as well as a few more obscure, lesser roles sure to appease comic book fans.

At its simplest, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an action movie and it delivers in spades. Littered with explosive action set pieces throughout, it is a joy to watch Jackman's Wolverine go on a berserker rampage - his duel with an attack chopper being a particular highlight! Based on the comics, the story is faithful enough that long time fans won't be too disappointed, but as usual with films of this ilk, certain creative liberties are taken. However, this shouldn't detract from the fact that Rendition director Gavin Hood has crafted a blockbuster both strong and sharp, with the subplots tying together nicely for a satisfying ending. If Wolverine is your bag, this is for you, Bub.
