Giveaway: Win Animal Kingdom on DVD!

Readers, I've been remiss.

After a demanding Edinburgh International Film Festival I spent some quiet time at home before continuing my summer sabbatical back at my home-from-home in California. I've been busy working on my Masters portfolio, and spent the last week in San Diego at Comic Con. It's been a time of absence, so I couldn't think of a better way to thank you for sticking around than hosting another giveaway!

I'm a little late out of the gate on this one - the words 'Watch Animal Kingdom' have been written on my to-do list every week for about 2 months. Despite the lack of a personal recommendation, though, I can assure you that this film is very much worth watching (and if you don't trust these guys, I don't know who you'll believe).

Animal Kingdom is an Australian family crime-drama directed by David Michod and starring the enigmatic Guy Pearce. The gripping tale of the seventeen year-old child of a criminal family and the detective who tries to save him, it's been hailed as a brutal and captivating depiction of Melbourne’s criminal underbelly.

So let's keep this one simple. For a chance to win one of three copies of Animal Kingdom on DVD, courtesy of Optimum Releasing, answer the following question in the comments:
