• Rush - Live In Rio | DVD | (03/08/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £10.99

  The nature of Rush has always been musicianship first", comments Geddy Lee in the documentary that accompanies Rush in Rio. It's an apt summation of both the band and this, their first made-for-DVD concert release. Fans will know already about the Canadian power trio's legendary musical craftsmanship, and so will be delighted to learn that the same meticulous care has been extended to this two-disc set, a record of their first ever visit to Brazil, and especially the climactic concert of the Vapor Trails tour, in which Messrs. Lee, Lifeson and Peart played to an ecstatic audience of 60,000 at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on November 23rd, 2002. The first disc clocks in at just under three hours and presents the gig itself in non-anamorphic widescreen filmed by 22 cameras, and recorded in stunning clarity in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The result of such comprehensive coverage captures the stadium atmosphere ideally: the Brazilian fans cheering lustily, like an enthusiastic football crowd whose favourite team has won for the first time in years; the massive video screen; the even bigger light and pyrotechnic effects; and Geddy Lee's washing machines, of course. Kicking off with the crowd-pleasing "Tom Sawyer" (but then, everything pleases this crowd), Rush reach back into every phase of their catalogue to provide a bravado demonstration of musicianship infused with apparently limitless energy, not to mention enjoyment: just watch them grinning as the audience goes wild for "YYZ". Things really hot up in the second half, when fire-breathing dragons announce "One Little Victory", followed by the big surprise of the night: the Lee-Lifeson acoustic rendition of "Resist", following right after Neil Peart's storming drum solo "O Baterista". Disc 2 contains The Boys in Brazil, a lengthy fly-on-the-wall look at the band's Brazilian trip, from fans at the airport, through Alex Lifeson clowning around in his hotel room, to various rehearsals and soundchecks. Retrospective interviews with the trio are interspersed throughout. It's hardly groundbreaking as rockumentaries go, but for fans it's a rare chance to peak behind the scenes at a band who value their privacy. Three tracks can also be found here in multi-angle versions: select any one of four mini-screen options to view "YYZ", "O Baterista" and "La Villa Strangiato" from different perspectives. In addition, there are two Easter eggs: the 1975 promo for "Anthem" and the "By-Tor" animation used during the concert. Rush fans everywhere will soon be wondering how they lived so long without this splendid two-disc set. "We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost." --Mark Walker

• Buffalo 66 | DVD | (22/03/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A prime example of 1990s independent film-making, Buffalo 66 is a little-known gem of a film which, once found, will be cherished. Vincent Gallo--the New York Bohemian extraordinaire--co-wrote the semi-autobiographical script. He also directed and starred in this dark comedy and, as if that wasn't enough, contributed to the mind-blowing soundtrack. By employing alternative filming techniques for what is, in essence, a traditional boy-meets-girl story, Gallo has created an indie movie with genuine mainstream appeal. A handheld camera and the flashback sequences use beautiful grainy cine film and 70s Polaroids, while as a whole the tone of the piece shifts between lavish theatrical images and reality TV. However, out of the many mesmerising scenes within the film, it is the isolated performances that offer the most heartfelt beauty, notably Cristina Ricci's solo light tap dance and Gazzara's mime to a song actually performed by Gallo's father in the distant past. An all-star cast also includes Angelica Huston, Ben Gazzara and Mickey Rourke. Buffalo 66 is an overlooked modern classic just waiting to be discovered. --Nikki Disney

• Her Majesty Mrs Brown | DVD | (05/02/2001) from £7.74   |  Saving you £8.25 (106.59%)   |  RRP £15.99

  A romantic drama, this John Madden film looks at the relationship between Queen Victoria and John Brown, a commoner who, though a servant, becomes her closest friend and confidant. As such, he proves the catalyst to bring her back into public life and out of her private mourning for the late Prince Albert. But the closeness of their friendship sets tongues wagging about the impropriety of what appears to be an affair between queen and commoner (an issue the film never directly addresses). Mrs Brown's charm lies in the flinty give-and-take between the wonderfully starchy Judi Dench as Victoria and the robust Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, here playing it straight as a strong-willed Scotsman who comes to enjoy the power he wields by virtue of having the queen's ear. Antony Sher is also striking as Prime Minister Disraeli, in a performance that all but shimmers with unspoken malice. --Marshall Fine

• Ultimate Force - Series 1 | DVD | (16/06/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Focusing on the adventures of an SAS unit, Ultimate Force was conceived around the character of new-man-on-the-team Jamie Dow, but realised as a star vehicle for Ross Kemp as the clichéd tough-but-caring leader Sgt "Henno" Garvie. Kemp essentially plays a legitimate version of his Eastenders hardman persona, Grant Mitchell, while Jamie--Billy Elliot--Draven wins a lot of hearts as the troubled but sensitive Dow. The two are the focus of this hit ITV series which, harking back to the thick-ear undercover shenanigans of The Professionals, echoes the macho camaraderie, soap opera character development and explosive action of London's Burning and Soldier, Soldier. By TV standards the set-pieces are bold and bloody, but the stories are routine, from rescuing hostages in the feature-length opener, to tracking a war criminal in the finale. Despite being cowritten by ex-SAS man Chris Ryan, the show regularly stretches credulity, and sometimes, as when demonising anti-globalisation protestors as would-be assassins, displays a tabloid sensibility quite out of step with reality. Ultimate Force is essentially an updated Who Dares Wins; a far better insight into the real SAS is Bravo Two Zero starring Sean Bean, which, not coincidentally, was also directed by Tom Clegg. On the DVD: Ultimate Force is presented with a near flawless anamorphically enhanced picture in the original TV broadcast ratio of 16:9, while for a modern action drama the sound is perfectly capable but less than spectacular stereo. Two DVDs contain the complete first season; a 74 minute introductory episode and five 48-minute regular shows. Other than subtitles for hard-of-hearing the only extra is a standard 17-minute behind-the-scenes featurette shot on location during the making of series 2. --Gary S Dalkin
