Pineapple Express, Somers Town and The Wave in this week's biggest DVDs to hit the shelves.

Seth Rogen continues his bid to be in as many hit comedies as possible with stoner romp Pineapple Express, out on DVD this week.

The Fozzy Bear soundalike teams up with James Franco as a pot smoker and his dealer who go on the run after witnessing a murder.

Though the lengthy action climax drags on, Rogen's as appealing as always, while Franco has deservedly earned a Golden Globe nomination for his entirely loveable portrayal of a childlike weed dealer.

This Is England director Shane Meadows returns to the screen with Somers Town, a short and sweet tale of two mismatched friends (Thomas Turgoose and Piotr Jagiello) and their mischief-making in central London.

German literary adaptation The Wave also hits the shelves, an eye-opening fictionalised account of a high school teacher's attempt to educate his students about life under a dictatorship, only for the newly-conceived social unit to grow in power.

Also released

John Schlesinger's groundbreaking 1971 drama Sunday, Bloody Sunday and Standard Operating Procedure, Errol Morris' unflinching, bleak appraisal of the War on Terror.
