Post: My 10 New Releases (The Good & The Bad)

Here are this months newest releases (on DVD), from my list of new releases i have picked 5 good and 5 bad (based on ratings out of 10).

The first 5 are probably worth watching, however i would steer clear of the last 5 (unless someone else is paying)

All the below can be brought and rented online from lovefilm.com* (starting at £4.99 a month)

The Good (7.0 >> 10)

Ratatouille - A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. (7.8/10)
