DVD release - wc 14th March 2005
16th Mar 05
 Some good releases this week, starting off with the crazy Hong Kong football comedy Shaolin Soccer (review coming soon) which receives it's DVD debut thanks to Optimum Asia. The old classic skin-head flick Romper Stomper also gets the two-disc special edition treatment with added extras including a director's commentary and an interview with Russell Crowe.
Otherwise there's the Ginger Snaps Boxset from Mosaic for £24.99 featuring a great first chapter, and two so-so follow-ons, and there's also a release for Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid which, it does have to be said, isn't really that great, but you might get some brain-free enjoyment from it for a friday night beer and pizza rental.
