Madman will grace our DVDs again in October with a great lineup of DVD releases. With a wide variety of genres and a Will Ferrell film tossed in the mix, plenty of these releases are most definitely worth looking forward to. We’ve selected our pick of the bunch below, but if you want to see more you can always check it out at Madman’s Official Site.
Everything Must Go
Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell) is a career salesman whose days of being on top are long gone. The same day Nick is fired, he returns home to discover that his wife has left him, changed the locks on their suburban home and dumped all of his possessions on the front lawn. Faced with an imploding life, Nick holds fast and sets up everything he owns in front of the house and prepares for a garage sale of the soul.
EVERYTHING MUST GO sees Will Ferrell return to the subtle, bittersweet performance style that he mastered in STRANGER THAN FICTION, and also pairs him with Rebecca Hall (THE TOWN) and Laura Dern (JURASSIC PARK).
Release date: 5th October 2011
Armadillo
Hugely acclaimed across the globe, ARMADILLO is the harrowing, unflinching look at the daily lives of soldiers serving in Afghanistan.
Award winning film director Janus Metz captures life on the frontline with an uncompromising and intense vision, bearing witness to the realities of the combat zone. As the fighting intensifies the effect of modern warfare is gradually realised as exhaustion, fear and adrenaline set in. Idealism meets paranoia in an authentic gun battle and decisions are made that can never be reversed. Gripping, thought provoking and visceral, this is as close as you get to battle action from the edge of your seat.
