“The Cottage” looks like a crazy and fun blend of the horror and comedy genres. The 75% fresh tomatoes on RT means that this probably won’t be a disaster. Brought to you by DVDSCR legends PUKKA on 1 CD, quality is very sharp.

Synopsis: Peter (Reece Shearsmith of the comedy troupe The League of Gentlemen) is a real wimp. He’s got a domineering wife and even a fear of moths. So how’d he end up holding a pottymouthed gangster’s daughter (Jennifer Ellison) hostage in an isolated country cottage with his brother, a hardened criminal (Andy Serkis, The Lord of the Rings) From writer/director Paul Andrew Williams, this horror-comedy is an about-face from his gritty, award-winning debut, the crime thriller London to Brighton. From the beginning, every step of Peter and his brother’s simple plan goes wrong.

Denzel Washington is the star and director of this anticipated Drama release, and it’s finally here in 2 CDs thanks to group ALLiANCE. I can’t remember when I last saw a high-profile DVDRip from these guys, but they did quite a good job on it. Video bitrate may not be ideal at 655k, but you get AC3 audio.

Synopsis: Washington stars and also directs the the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school’s first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship. Set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow South and inspired by a true story, “The Great Debaters” chronicles the journey of a brilliant but volatile coach (Denzel Washington) who uses the power of words to shape a group of underdog students from a small, modest black college in East Texas into an elite debate team while challenging the social mores of the time, culminating with a groundbreaking invitation to debate Harvard’s championship team.

It took long enough, but this 2006 movie is finally available in a nice scene DVDRip. It has generally received good ratings, and won some awards. Regarding quality, you know the drill, 1 CD with MP3 audio. The 928k video bitrate is very nice.

Synopsis: BELLA opens with a flashback to a confident young man named Jose (Eduardo Verastegui) who is poised to become a major soccer star. The film then flashes forward to the present day, and we see Jose working as a chef in his brother Manny’s (Manny Perez) restaurant. A swaggering athlete no more, he has camouflaged his striking looks with long hair and a thick beard. When his hot-tempered brother fires a waitress for showing up late, Jose makes the spontaneous decision to walk off the job and go check on her. He catches the young woman, Nina (Tammy Blanchard), just as she is about to board the subway, and she reveals to him that she is pregnant. Worried for her, Jose suggests they spend the day together, and the two set off for a long, meandering jaunt around New York City.

Holly Kennedy (Swank) and her charming Irish husband Gerry (Gerard Butler) are a young couple struggling to get by in New York City. Their marriage is 10 years strong, and they are madly in love, but the fates soon step in, when Gerry develops cancer and dies. Holly is completely devastated, and her friends Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon) do their best to console her.

BeStDivX released what seems to be a fascinating documentary. The synopsis is long and thorough so be sure to read it. Ratings are staggering, with 97% on RT and 8.2 on IMDB. Quality of this 1 CD release is slightly above average, with 928k video bitrate and 144k mp3 audio.

Synopsis: Directed by the Academy-Award-winning team of Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman (”Twin Towers”) and marking the producing debut of AOL Vice Chairman Ted Leonsis, “Nanking” is a powerful reminder of the heartbreaking toll that war takes on the innocent, and a testament to the courage and conviction of a few individuals determined to act in the face of evil. The film tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China in the early days of World War II and focuses on the efforts of a small group of unarmed Westerners who established a Safety Zone where over 200,000 Chinese found refuge. The events of the film are told through deeply moving interviews with Chinese survivors, archival footage, and chilling testimonies of Japanese soldiers, interwoven with staged readings of the Westerners’ letters and diaries as performed by Woody Harrelson, Mariel Hemingway, Jurgen Prochnow, and Stephen Dorff, among others.
