Another week, another Monday. So it’s time for the rundown of DVDs and Blu-ray’s hitting stores online and offline this week. It’s another packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, April 16th 2012.
Pick Of The Week
Recoil (DVD/Blu-ray)

And the rest…
The Ledge (DVD/Blu-ray)
An affair with a neighbour’s wife (Liv Tyler) ends badly when Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) is forced onto a high rise ledge and given one hour to jump by a jealous husband (Patrick Wilson). A cop (Terrence Howard) is looking to save both their lives but will he have enough time?...

The Descendants (15)
(Alexander Payne, 2011, Us) George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Nick Krause, Robert Forster. 115 mins
A sideways move from Sideways takes Payne on another tour of masculine crises, though this has mellowed and matured for longer. Family issues jolt Clooney out of his Hawaiian comfort zone. His wife's sudden coma puts him in charge of their two daughters, and brings their marriage into perspective, while his control of the ancestral estate adds to the burden. It's a well-rooted drama of great performances and big themes (and probably big awards).
Like Crazy (12A)
(Drake Doremus, 2011, Us) Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence. 90 mins
Young love sees no colour, but it must abide by visa regulations in this cross-Atlantic romantic saga, which tests a couple's endurance in an offbeat, indie style.
The Grey (15)
(Joe Carnahan, 2012, Us) Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo. 117 mins
Liam Neeson v wolves – seems like a good match.

Mercenaries
Stars: Billy Zane, Vas Blackwood, Geoff Bell, Kirsty Mitchell, Robert Fucilla | Written and Directed by Paris Leonti
It would be disingenuous to suggest that I had anything other than fairly low expectations for my first screening of 2012. A low-budget, war film starring a bunch of unknown actors ‘and Billy Zane’ (a title card that actually caused titters of mirth among some of the more openly dismissive members of the audience)? How good could this possibly be?
If 462 users on the IMDb (at time of writing) are to be believed, not very good at all. It currently holds a rating of 4.4. Having seen Mercenaries, this seems a little unfair to me. Sure, it’s no classic, nor even a rough diamond, but it’s far from a stinker. The film begins with a military coup in Serbia. The low budget is evident from off, though the brutal execution of the...

The movie stars Hollywood legend, Michael Madsen, and includes a host of British talent including Stephen Berkoff, Vincent Regan, Leo Gregory, Robert Fucilla and Beatrice Rosen. The trailer has a sort of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrell’s vibe going for it and looks like it could be a great movie. It’s directed by Nic Auerbach.
Synopsis: Small time crook Mickey Skinner (Leo Gregory, Cass) is unwittingly catapulted into the big league, when the getaway car he steals has infamous gang leader Barber (Vincent Regan, 300) captive in the boot.
Threatened by Barber and out of his depth, Skinner must make a choice. Become one of them or be killed.
