• Dragonball Evolution | Blu Ray | (31/08/2009) from £6.59   |  Saving you £45.40 (87.30%)   |  RRP £51.99

  Co-produced by Hong Kong legend Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), Dragonball Evolution is an agreeable if low-wattage live action adaptation of the iconic manga and anime series Dragon Ball. Director James Wong fuses the series’ fantasy-based characters and devices with a somewhat lacklustre storyline involving average teen Goku (Justin Chatwin), who breaks from his wholesale pining for classmate Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) to find that he’s at the center of an intergalactic search for the all-powerful Dragonballs by evil warlord Piccolo (Buffy’s James Marsters). With the help of master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat, who backburners his stoic screen image in favor of some God of Gamblers/Once a Thief-level hamminess), Goku develops his fighting skills to take on Piccolo and save the Earth. The film’s abundance of martial arts should please younger and less discerning viewers, but its hackneyed dialogue and sluggish pace (especially in the fight scenes, which stutter where they should flow) may disappoint longtime fans of the book and television adaptations. The CGI effects, which labour mightily to reproduce the source material’s eye-popping look, also fall short, though the cast is game, especially Marsters and Chow.--Paul Gaita, Amazon.com

• Gladiators Of World War 2 - The Norwegian Resistance | DVD | (10/11/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  For five years during World War 2 the Nazis occupied Norway. They were plagued by organised resistance; relatively small numbers of brave men and women operating in the bleak and mountainous countryside. Theirs was a war of small actions and narrow escapes the threat of capture torture and death was constant - and successful attacks could result in reprisals on civilians. Fishing boats slipped in and out of the long Norwegian coastline carrying agents and information. `Radio Spied' monitored the German fleet in the distant and isolated fjords and provided weather reports for the D-Day landings. Specially trained commando forces prevented the movement of `heavy water' vital to Hitler's atomic bomb project. With the end of the war in Europe in May 1945 the 60 000 members of Milorg the resistance network took the surrender of the German garrison now swollen to 365 000 men. One of the greatest achievements of the Norwegian Resistance had been to tie down large numbers of Nazi troops who would otherwise have been fighting in mainland Europe.

  Set Comprises: Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room (2005): This searing examination of the Enron accounting scandal reveals the psychology of greed and corporate corruption that facilitated the company's rise to power and also its fall. When Enron went bankrupt in 2001 the principals walked away millionaires--but later faced legal proceedings and jail sentences. Meanwhile many employees and investors were left with nothing not even their retirement savings. Shedding light on the new economy of the 1990s when predictions and book-cooking flourished without actual profits the film shows how it was not Enron alone but a network of bankers traders and accountants who turned a blind eye to the company's clearly suspicious numbers. CEO Ken Lay and top dogs Jeff Skilling and Andy Fastow give candid interviews that illustrate their skill at deflecting hard questions and egotistically boasting about the company's success. In one of the company's cold and calculated moves - which caused the California power outages and lead to the ousting of governor Gray Davis - Enron employees are shown laughing at forest fires. Unbelievable footage of employees reveals unbridled greed lust for risk-taking and guiltless cheating all while thinking they could never be caught. Finally a few brave whistle-blowers stepped forward including Bethany McLean author of the Enron novel upon which this film is based who wrote an article in Fortune magazine calling the company's bluff.
