Review of Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection

Our partner site, Magical-Menagerie, had the opportunity of reviewing the newly released (in the US) Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection. The set was released on September 7th in the US and will be released on the 10th in the UK. Photos of the set may be viewed in their gallery.  Read the review, by Patrick, over at this page!

The Wizard Collection is all you could want in a complete box set. It’s got both the films and also exclusive memorabilia. However I must say, and this is now a very common trend, it was a little annoying that all the newest features are only available on the Blu Ray Discs, so to see the never before seen moments you will need a blu ray player. There has also been quite a stir online over the price and it is a little expensive at $US 350, and £178 but if you break it down to how much you would pay for each individual piece it adds up, but it’s just that if you have purchased the films along the way, you’re paying for what you already have.

First Trailer for Wasteland Released

The first trailer for Matthew’s new film, Wasteland has been released and may be watched below!

Battered, bruised and under arrest, Harvey Miller sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, Detective Inspector West has no doubt as to Harvey’s part in a foiled robbery, and his subsequent attempted murder of local businessman Steven Roper. Denying nothing, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. As the story unfolds, we discover that a malevolent and unjust act perpetrated by Roper put Harvey in prison and now he has a score to settle.

Following an emotional reunion with his best friends, Harvey sets about finding the girl he left behind, determined to rekindle their romance. What follows is the ingenious and elaborate blueprint of a master plan which Harvey hopes will deliver revenge on his old adversary as well as giving him and his friends the opportunity to start a new life abroad. After weeks of meticulous planning, the boys set the plan in motion. What unfolds is a tense and exhilarating heist of unexpected proportions. A story of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, revenge and the pursuit of happiness.
