The campaign to bring Steven Seagal: Lawman to British TV screens starts today, says Marina Hyde
How completely delicious - and highly uncommon - to end the week on a piece of good news. Steven Seagal: Lawman premiered to record numbers for America's A&E channel, with its debut episode the most watched in the network's history.
You might recall that Lost in Showbiz worships Seagal, and has been on tenterhooks about the reception of his reality series, which follows the Above the Law legend as he goes about his duties as a fully commisioned Louisiana cop - a position he's secretly held for 20 years!
As always with Seagal, we needn't have worried. Here's what the critics are saying about episode one, "The Way of the Gun".
"The highlight of the episode may also be the most believable part of the episode," writes Bob Patterson at Blogcritics.

Be sure to head to the comments section to discuss the latest installment and what you think will happen when V returns from his hiatus in the spring.

Gomorrah (Criterion Collection)
I just published my review of this one and the film certainly holds up to repeat viewings and left an even greater impression on me than it did when I wrote my "B" review last year. The presentation is great and there is a wealth of supplementary material that can be a bit taxing, but, if taken in slowly, will open your eyes even wider. If you are interested check out my review here and you can read the included Chuck Stevens's essay "Gomorrah: Terminal Beach" available right here.
Angels and Demons
Nope, wasn't about to request this one for review. I watched it once and once was enough for me. You can read my "C+" review if you need further explanation as to my thoughts on this film, but I don't ever intend to revisit it,

Lionsgate had teased Angel Heart with Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro and Lisa Bonet was "coming soon" to Blu-ray Disc almost a year and a half ago. On November 24, the delayed cult classic will finally make its high-def debut.
Joining Angel Heart the same day on Blu-ray will be Bill Paxton's directorial debut Frailty starring himself and Matthew McConaughey, as well as The Way of the Gun with a young Ryan Phillippe, Benicio Del Toro and Juliette Lewis.
All three films will be given a remastered 1080p video transfer and DTS-hd Master Audio mix. Angel Heart will include 5.1 channels of audio while the other two earn an extra pair for 7.1.
Though The Way of the Gun is coming as a bare bones release, bonus features for Frailty and Angel Heart are as follows:
Angel Heart
Introduction and interview with director Alan Parker
Interview and select scene commentary with Mickey Rourke
