[Geir · Rating 3 out of 5]

A companion book to the Blu-ray. At 150 pages, it necessarily touches only lightly upon things. It tells the story in the form of bite-sized quotes, and while some of them seem to be lacking context, of course you can always use the glorious internet to find out more. A (very) few of the quotes seem improperly transcribed and the text might benefit from an extra round of polish. Still, I found many tidbits I hadn't heard before. There is also a wealth of great photos, and the trump cards are fun.

Now for watching the movie (always read the book first, no?)

[Lewis Clark · Rating 2 out of 5]

A companion piece to the film of the same name, but nothing more. Beautifully presented in a nice hardback with red and white binding and full colour pages, but it essentially amounts to quotes from the various interviews in the films and they're transcribed word-for-word with no adjustments so they don't scan very well. Lots of grammatical errors as well which takes the shine off the overall product.
