Win George A Romero's Survival of The Dead on Blu-ray

Master filmmaker George A Romero continues to reinvent the modern horror genre with a film that draws new battle lines between the living and the dead – his latest, brilliant zombie epic Survival of The Dead. And thanks to Optimum Home Entertainment, we have FIVE copies on Blu-ray to give away.

It's been less than a week since the dead began to walk, and the world has gone to hell. The rule of law is disintegrating. The military is in chaos. A war-weary band of soldiers goes AWOL, convinced they'll be better off on their own. Led by Sarge, a tough, chain-smoking guardsman, their only ambition is to survive. They are lured to a remote island that promises to be the last paradise on earth, only to discover that even here, miles away from civilisation, there is no escape from a world at war. The battle that follows overtakes everyone on the island, living and dead, and poses a new meaning for the word, "survival".

Told with Romero's iconic sense of humor and keen eye for the fault-lines in contemporary culture, Survival of the Dead expands and intensifies the zombie universe for which he is celebrated.

Thanks to Optimum Home Entertainment, we have FIVE copies of Survival of The Dead on Blu-ray to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer the following question:

A true Aussie horror cult classic and one of the most memorable movies of the early 1970s to mid-1980s new wave of Australian cinema, Colin Eggleston’s atmospheric 1978 shocker Long Weekend (originally starring John Hargreaves and Briony Behets) gets a contemporary makeover courtesy of director Jamie Blanks and the original film’s screenwriter Everett De Roche. And thanks to Showbox Media Group, we have THREE copies of the DVD to give away to lucky Screenjabber readers. Coming to DVD on February 8 as a two-disc Ultimate Edition, this new version of Long Weekend stars Jim Caviezel and Claudia Karvan, and cranks the chilling eco-horror theme to the max.

When unhappily married and recently estranged city couple Peter (Caviezel) and Carla (Karvan) set off for a long weekend camping in a remote but picturesque spot on Austalia’s north coast with Peter’s friend Luke and his girlfriend, they are hoping that a few days of sun, surf and solitude will help heal their marital wounds. After getting lost in the dark and spending an uncomfortable night in their car, Peter and Carla awake to find themselves parked mere yards from their intended destination and, despite the mysterious non-arrival of Luke and his partner, set up camp. In stereotypical city folk style they immediately begin to show a complete disregard for their beautiful, untouched environment by nonchalantly discarding rubbish, breaking glass, chopping live trees for firewood and taking pot shots at the wildlife.

As the weekend progresses and their personal relationship deteriorates ever further, they become increasingly aware of an unseen, almost malevolent force of nature acting against them. But are the bizarre occurrences they witness merely coincidental events whose effects are heightened by the couple’s isolation or is something else at work?

Thanks to Showbox Media Group and The Associates, we have THREE copies of Long Weekend on DVD to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer the following question:

The original Long Weekend starred which Aussie actor?

a) Matthew Newton
b) Graeme Blundell

From Studio Ghibli, the team that brought us Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, comes Ocean Waves, an underrated gem that has never been available before on DVD outside of Japan. And thnaks to Optimum Home Entertainment, we have FIVE copies fo the DVD to give away.

Ocean Waves was the first Ghibli production not directed by the studio’s creators, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Directed instead by Tomomi Mochizuki, best known for his work on Here is Greenwood and Kimagure Orange Road: I Want To Return To That Day, and made with the colloboration of up-and-coming animators from the Ghibli studio. The film is therefore very much a product of the nurturing, teaching environment that the old masters had always envisaged the studio being.

Ocean Waves is a look back at the halcyon teenage years of Taku as he journeys to a high school reunion, reflecting upon the way on love, friendship and a fateful class trip to Tokyo. Fusing a naturalistic neo-realist style with nostalgic recollection of the anxieties of first love, it is an accomplished and hugely enjoyable addition to the Studio Ghibli cannon.

Thanks to Optimum Home Entertainment, we have 5 copies of Ocean Waves on DVD to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer the following question:

In which country of the world is Studio Ghibli based?

a) Scotland
b) Japan
c) Canada

All Creatures Great and Small was one of the finest Brtish TV dramas of the 1980s, and now all 90 episodes are available to own in one box set. And thanks to Universal Home Entertainment, we have a box set to give away to one lucky Screenjabber reader.

Based on James Herriot's hugely popular autobiographical books that recount his work as a vet in the villages of Yorkshire – and starring Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy and Peter Davison – this deeply affectionate slice of nostalgia charts the gentle and beautifully comic experiences of young Herriot from the 1930s to the early 50s.

In 1937, a newly-qualified surgeon arrives in the picturesque village of Darrowby to take up his first job in the established veterinary practice of Sigfried and Tristan Farnon.  But in rural Yorkshire, with few medicines available, the treatment of sick animals still seems rooted in the Dark Ages. Together with the country-folk's inherent suspicion of strangers, this poses problems for James Herriot in the early years of his career.  Gradually, James establishes himself with the locals.  He courts and eventually marries Helen, becomes a family man, and over the next 20 years, James, his family and friends share in the joys and heartaches of caring for the many wonderful creatures that become part of their world.
