Compliance - Clip

Inspired by true events, COMPLIANCE tells the chilling story of just how far one might go to obey a figure of authority. On a particularly busy day at a suburban Ohio fast food joint, high-strung manager Sandra (Ann Dowd (Garden State) receives a phone call from a police officer saying that an employee, a pretty young blonde named Becky (newcomer Dreama Walker) has stolen money from a customer. Convinced she's only doing what's right, Sandra commences the investigation, following step-by-step instructions from the officer at the other end of the line, no matter how invasive they become. As we watch, we ask ourselves two questions: "Why don't they just say no?" and the more troubling, "Am I certain I wouldn't do the same?"

Marvel unwraps phase one of its cinematic universe on Blu-ray and DVD

marvels-avengers-usa-dvd-bluray.jpgKEEPING up the incredible momentum of record-breaking performances at both the box office and pre-order market, Marvel has teased fans of The Avengers with deleted scenes and new box-set details for the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release.

With the film checking in at a cool $1.46 billion in worldwide theater sales, the comic book giant and superhero studio brings The Avengers to a store near you on September 17 in the UK and September 25 in the US.

We've already shown you some of the upcoming disc sets and some exclusive content concealed within - like the post-Avengers short film Item 47, which basically tells the story of what Bonnie and Clyde would have done with a giant laser gun - but more continues to trickle out.

If you're one of many fans whose love of the Hulk reignited with Mark Ruffalo's depiction, this newest look - which you can watch below - adds to the scene Mark Ruffalo shared with veteran actor Harry Dean Stanton after Hulk crash-landed in an abandoned warehouse.

And while it might not offer much more than a little insight into Banner's arrival on a motorbike for the final battle, it gives a taste of what's to come once limited edition collector's sets like the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled hit the shelves.

It's so big it needs an 80-second video walkthrough - which you can watch at Amazon - just to show you all the goodies inside when you open it.

Besides collecting all six features in high-definition format, plus behind-the-scenes features and special files on all the heroes, it includes your very own Tesseract and comes in an awesome S.H.I.E.L.D. briefcase. Use it wisely.

Will you be getting the special collector's set even if you already own the five previously released features? Tell us if your inner geek is enticed by the power of the cosmic cube...
