Big week for Kevin Smith fans, as Clerks II arrives on Blu-ray, just in time for the release of the highly likeable Zack & Miri Make A Porno (or as it’s known in Wal-Marts, Zack & Miri (and at Cornerstone Book & Supply, just &)). Or you might journey back to the early ‘80s arthouse with Barbra Streisand’s moody musical Yentl (with its Oscar-winning score by Michel Legrand and the Bergmans), or with the sterling new DVD and Blu-ray editions of Hal Ashby’s lovely Being There.
Ah, but who are we kidding? We know what you lot want: all the new Friday the 13th product, including the Blu-ray debut of the original film (in the uncut version), and the release of a three-disc edition of the documentary His Name Was Jason: 30 Years Of Friday The 13th. (But will the documentary be as comprehensive and insightful as this article? Well… probably.)
