Bringing you your weekly DVD review goodness in a sickening double helping this week. We take a look at Mel Gibson’s latest relentless tirade, and that Seth MacFarlane cartoon about the family with the talking animal - no, not that one, the other one.

This week’s uppers and downers.
Folded:
- Clothes on Film (cool site about clothes in movies. Goodness the editor is handsome)
- Edge of Darkness (Gibbo’s back like it’s 1995)
- David Lean in Close-Up with Jonathan Ross (BBC4, the only reason we pay a licence fee)
- Champagne price drop: pour it on your cereal (by Christmas a bottle of Moët will cost £15, or thereabouts. Possibly)
- Damien Hirst’s return to painting (critics say rubbish, so who cares what we think? It will irritate the hell out of people and that’s good enough for us)
