    Created by Armando Iannucci (Oscar® nominee for co-writing In the Loop), Veep takes a sharp, satirical look at the insular world of Washington politics, following the whirlwind day-to-day existence of the onetime VP and now-President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her Emmy®-winning role). Picking up where S4 left off, Season 5 finds Selina in the midst of a virtually unprecedented Electoral College tie with her future as President coming down to only a few hundred votes. With Amy and Dan on the ground in Nevada working on a recount, Selina finds herself spinning her wheels in D.C., as her staff continues their mission to make her seem presidential (even though she is the President) while fending off the ambitions of her charismatic Vice Presidential running mate Tom James, who in a twist of obscure constitutional procedure could end up becoming President. Over the course of this season's 10 episodes, with the stakes for Selina higher than ever before, Veep continues to prove that in Washington, even the most banal decisions can have ripple effects with unexpected and often hilarious consequences.

    Season 1 Set in rural Louisiana HBO’s new award-winning series True Blood follows the world of vampires who have just recently “come out of the coffin.” For the first time in history a Japanese-manufactured synthetic blood allows vampires to co-exist peacefully with humans but the question remains…will they? The series centers around Sookie Stackhouse (Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winner Anna Paquin The Piano True Blood) a telepathic waitress who winds up falling for vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer The Starter Wife). Season 2 Welcome to Bon Temps home to mystery Southern sensuality and dark secrets. For Sookie Stackhouse life is more dangerous than ever as she and Bill become even closer. Meanwhile Tara finds herself under a spell; Jason joins an anti-vampire sect; Eric recruits Sookie to find a missing vampire; and Maryann reveals a special power. Then after a shocking discovery Sookie Bill and Sam must protect the town from a diabolical plan that raises this award-winning series to bloody new heights. Season 3 In Bon Temps everyone has something to hide. But when new threats emerge no one can conceal the secrets of their past. After Sookie discovers that Bill’s been kidnapped she heads to Mississippi where she becomes entangled in a world ruled by a pack of vicious werewolves and the powerful Vampire King Russell Edgington. There her powers resurface and she learns that Bill may not be trusted. Eric is also drawn to the King’s domain to settle an old score; Tara dives deep into turmoil; Jason falls for a mysterious woman; Lafayette can’t avoid love or demons; Jessica sharpens her vampire skills; and Sam uncovers the truth about his birth family. It all leads up to the revelation of the series... Sookie’s true identity. Season 4 Sookie finds herself entangled in a love triangle – torn between a vengeful Bill the new Vampire King of Mississippi and Eric who’s not the former Viking he once was. Led by a charismatic witch named Marnie who threatens to let no one living or dead stand in her way a powerful coven tempts Lafayette Tara and Jesus with otherworldly powers. Jessica tries to adjust to a domestic life while Jason finds himself alone in werepanther territory. Arlene and Terry come to terms with their highly unusual baby and Alcide finds himself caught in the clutches of an old flame. As old alliances crumble and new relationships form Season 4 of True Blood proves that nobody’s safe when there’s magic in the air. Season 5 The fate of all humanity is at stake in the fifth season of this unique bold and undeniably sexy series. While Sookie deals with Tara’s shooting and her unpredictable faerie powers Bill and Eric find themselves called into action by the Vampire Authority. Alcide battles new werewolves J.D. and Martha; Sam searches for shifter murderers; and Jason struggles with his attraction to Jessica. It all adds up to a wicked bloody climax between the Authority and the bloodthirsty vampire fundamentalists that will affect the lives of everyone living and dead in this unrelenting action-packed season of HBO’s otherworldly phenomenon. Season 6 The Authority is in flames. TruBlood is in short supply. As Bill comes to terms with his newfound powers after emerging reincarnated from a pool of blood humans are in open conflict with vampires like never before. Meanwhile Sookie and Jason must steel themselves for an encounter with their parents’ killer: the mysterious and ancient Warlow. Mixing romance suspense mystery and humor the show takes place in a world where vampires and humans co-exist after vampires have come out of the coffin thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood that means they no longer need humans as a nutritional source.The series follows waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) who can hear people’s thoughts vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård). Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy®-winning HBO series “Six Feet Under”) created the show which is based on the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. Season 7 In season 7 a season-opening battle between raging Hep-Vamps and their Bon Temps prey sets the stage for a season-long series of hair-raising denouements for Sookie Bill Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) Jason (Ryan Kwanten) Sam (Sam Trammell) Alcide (Joe Manganiello) Tara (Rutina Wesley) and their human/vampire allies and adversaries. As we’ll see some of True Blood’s most beloved figures will meet cruel fates while others will cheat death (true and otherwise) to forge happily-ever-after relationships that will leave fans surprised and ultimately satisfied.

    The collaboration between filmmaker Josef von Sternberg and actress Marlene Dietrich is one of the most enduring in all Hollywood cinema. Tasked by Paramount bosses to find ˜the next big thing', director von Sternberg lighted upon German silent star Dietrich and brought her to Hollywood. Successfully transitioning from the silent to the sound era, together they crafted a series of remarkable features that expressed a previously hitherto unbridled ecstasy in the process of filmmaking itself. Marked by striking cinematography, beautiful design and elaborate camerawork these vibrantly sensuous films redefined cinema of the time, while Dietrich's sexually ambiguous on-screen personas caused a sensation and turned her from actor to superstar and icon. Lavish, lascivious and wildly eccentric, the films Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich made for Paramount Pictures in the 1930s provide a unique testimony to Hollywood's Golden Age. The six films that von Sternberg made with Dietrich in Hollywood are presented here in new restorations on Blu-ray for the very first time in the UK. Containing a wealth of new and archival extras including new appreciations, interviews, audio commentaries, rare films, outtakes and deleted audio, documentaries and more!

  • Hotel Du Lac [1986]Hotel Du Lac | DVD | (26/05/2003) from £12.81   |  Saving you £3.18 (24.82%)   |  RRP £15.99

    Hotel du Lac is an impeccably produced BBC television adaptation of Anita Brookner's Booker Prize-winning novel. Middle-aged writer Edith Hope has fled London and romantic disappointment to find sanctuary at a luxury hotel on a Swiss Lake, but finding no escape from her loneliness must eventually face her past. Edith is played with compassion by Anna Massey, her intellect and wit acting as a defence against her own failings, and support comes from a superb cast including Denholm Elliott, Googie Withers, Julia McKenzie, Patricia Hodge, Irene Handl and Barry Foster. Brookner's apparently slight but multi-layered tale is skilfully crafted by writer Christopher Hampton, who has with such films as Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and The Quiet American (2002) become a master of literary adaptation. Giles Foster's direction focuses on bringing the best from his cast, rather than attempting any sort of cinematic sweep, and Carl Davis' eloquent theme music makes the introspection all the more touching. Ultimately, though, it is Anna Massey's insightful central performance which makes Hotel du Lac such a memorable slice of television. On the DVD: Hotel du Lac is presented in the original TV broadcast 4:3 ratio with a very poor, extremely grainy and soft picture. The sound is reasonable mono, clear and free from distortion though lacking in dynamic range. The only extra, though one well worth having, is a serious and highly informative commentary from Giles, Hampton and producer Sue Birtwistle. --Gary S Dalkin

  • The Game [1997]The Game | DVD | (09/11/2007) from £8.65   |  Saving you £7.34 (84.86%)   |  RRP £15.99

    It's not quite as clever as it tries to be, but The Game does a tremendous job of presenting the story of a rigid control freak trapped in circumstances that are increasingly beyond his control. Michael Douglas plays a rich, divorced, and dreadful investment banker whose 48th birthday reminds him of his father's suicide at the same age. He's locked in the cage of his own misery until his rebellious younger brother (Sean Penn) presents him with a birthday invitation to play "The Game" (described as "an experiential Book of the Month Club")--a mysterious offering from a company called Consumer Recreation Services. Before he knows the game has even begun, Douglas is caught up in a series of unexplained events designed to strip him of his tenuous security and cast him into a maelstrom of chaos. How do you play a game that hasn't any rules? That's what Douglas has to figure out, and he can't always rely on his intelligence to form logic out of what's happening to him. Seemingly cast as the fall guy in a conspiracy thriller, he encounters a waitress (Deborah Unger) who may or may not be trustworthy, and nothing can be taken at face value in a world turned upside down. Douglas is great at conveying the sheer panic of his character's dilemma, and despite some lapses in credibility and an anticlimactic ending, The Game remains a thinking person's thriller that grabs and holds your attention. Thematic resonance abounds between this and Seven and Fight Club, two of the other films by The Game 's director David Fincher. -- Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

    A small tourist cruiser on the Stockholm archipelago drops a motley array ofpeople on an apparently deserted island. The island is called Kallskär and it has a dark history. This is where cholera patients were transported in the 19th century, refugees from the Baltic states were held there during the war, and then troublesome delinquents in the 1970s. The island with its dramatic shoreline has always been a fated place dealing in matters of life and death, and now it is the headquarters for life coach Uno Leijon, where he runs a treatment centre for addicts. He works on the premise of 'breaking down and building back up'. For two weeks lost souls have to endure his methods, without any possibility of them leaving the island. Johan, Minnie, Vincent, Oscar, Isabell and Amina have different reasons for being there. A trying time awaits them, both physically and mentally. And the dramatic past of the island makes its presence felt. As the course of treatment starts to fall apart for the participants, an old murder mystery is brought to light.
