• Predator -- Two-Disc Special Edition | DVD | (03/05/2004) from £4.95   |  Saving you £18.04 (364.44%)   |  RRP £22.99

  Although it was only made in 1987, Predator is already the kind of film that has action fans sighing, "They don't make 'em like that any more". Few later films can equal its testosterone-fuelled scenario, its graphic violence or its genuinely unnerving sense of danger. An alien big-game hunter comes to Earth to hunt the meanest, most dangerous creatures on the planet. Naturally, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his astonishingly muscle-bound team of marines are prime targets. The premise has a compelling Zen-like simplicity and the correspondingly minimalist script consists, for the most part, of the statuesque soldiers snarling one-liners at each other ("I ain't got time to bleed", "If it bleeds we can kill it") in between firing unfeasibly large weapons. Director John McTiernan emphasises the claustrophobic confines of the jungle setting, allowing tension to build for the film's first two thirds by keeping the titular hunter concealed from both its prey and the audience. Composer Alan Silvestri's nerve-jangling percussive score racks up the tension yet further. When the creature does show its handiwork the results are horrifically gory, and, thanks to the film's insistently realistic tone, all the more terrifying. By the final act, a memorably mud-caked Arnie must discard all his high-tech weaponry and fight hand-to-hand against creature effects wizard Stan Winston's classic monster; McTiernan's action choreography ensures that the outcome of this hard-fought duel is never a foregone conclusion. On the DVD: Predator at last gets the DVD release it deserves. Its previous incarnations used the bowdlerised TV edit; but this two-disc set restores the full theatrical cut, with skinned corpses aplenty and Carl Weathers' lopped-off arm among other messy delights. Not only that, but the sound options are now ultra-vivid Dolby 5.1 or DTS 5.1, though the anamorphic picture is still grainy in some of the darker scenes. John McTiernan provides a decent director's commentary, but much more fascinating information can be had from a text commentary option. On the generously filled second disc there are seven short behind-the-scenes featurettes (including one dedicated to "Old Painless" the Gatling gun) plus a retrospective documentary, "If It Bleeds We Can Kill It", which includes both old and new interviews with many of the cast and crew. There are also outtakes and a deleted scene, special effects segments, camouflage tests and a text profile of the creature and its weaponry, plus a photo gallery. --Mark Walker

• Last Samurai | Blu Ray | (07/05/2013) from £26.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The Last Samurai gives epic sweep to an intimate story of cultures at a crossroads as Japan undergoes tumultuous transition to a more Westernised society in 1876-77. In America, tormented Civil War veteran Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is coerced by a mercenary officer (Tony Goldwyn) to train the Japanese Emperor's troops in the use of modern weaponry. Opposing this "progress" is a rebellion of samurai warriors, holding fast to their traditions of honour despite strategic disadvantage. As a captive of the samurai leader (Ken Watanabe), Algren learns, appreciates, and adopts the Samurai code, switching sides for a climactic battle that will put everyone's honour to the ultimate test. All of which makes director Edward Zwick's noble epic eminently worthwhile, even if its Hollywood trappings (including an all-too-conventional ending) prevent it from being the masterpiece that Zwick and screenwriter John Logan clearly wanted it to be. Instead, The Last Samurai is an elegant mainstream adventure, impressive in all aspects of its production. It may not engage the emotions as effectively as Logan's script for Gladiator, but like Cruise's character, it finds its own quality of honour. --Jeff Shannon

• Vol 5, JJB - Grappling - Luta Livre Collection | DVD | (25/02/2013) from £20.15   |  Saving you £9.84 (32.80%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Discover a unique collection dedicated to the Brazilian martial art. Each master and expert detail their specialty through a series of instructional DVDs, shot on a black ground and a black background for optimum visibility of all movements. The guard in Jiu-jitsu is a key position. To develop one's attacks in this context, it is all about initiative. We will deal in this DVD how to settle one's game to be able to perform the techniques as accurately and efficiently as possible. Victory in a fight is over a succession of building details. The key to success lies in the ability of being aggressive from the start, and not give one's opponent the opportunity to develop their own strategies. This principle applies above as well as below. We will therefore have to detail some fundamental positions that we have developed through our experiences of competitors, which we hope is a guarantee of a Jiu-jitsu that is modern, scalable and fully oriented to success. Having discovered jiu-jitsu in 1996 during the visit of members of the Gracie family for the first time in Europe, we actually started to practice this sport in a club from 2001. After many hours of training, courses in Brazil and many competitions in France and internationally, in 2006 we decided to open our own academy: the Gokudo. Since this moment on, we've kept on teaching, communicating and living the passion of "the subtle art". Credits: The three OLIVIER brothers won many French cups in elite category (Spirit Challenge, Open de France, Hotblood, etc.). They won Abu Dhabi Europe titles, French Championships (black belt, adult , -76 kilos in 2011 and 2012), 3rd at the European Championships (2009, 2010 and 2012) ...

This is why 80% of the techniques you will see in this DVD are achievable in NO-GI. Often working in these positions, I give you my vision of combat in this video.
