Super, directed by James Gunn, is to be released on Blue Ray and DVD on January 5th by Village Roadshow. James Gunn previously directed Slither that was released in 2006.
Tideland is the one film, in my cinema going life, I very seriously nearly walked out of a screening for at MIFF. I felt let down after linking Brazil, Fisher King, and Twelve Monkeys.
