"Actor: Anne"

• Nikita | DVD | (31/03/2003) from £7.50   |  Saving you £5.49 (73.20%)   |  RRP £12.99

  French director Luc Besson broke the commercial taboo against female-driven action movies with Nikita, his seminal, seductively slick film about a violent street punk (Anne Parillaud) trained to become a smooth, stylish assassin. Though it amounts, in the end, to little more than disposable pop, the film has a cohesiveness in style and tone--akin to the early James Bond films--that gives it a sense of integrity. Parillaud is compelling both as a wild child and chic-but-lethal pro (trained in good manners by none other than Jeanne Moreau). Tchéky Karyo is also good as the cop mentor who develops feelings for her. --Tom Keogh

• Pompeii | DVD | (15/09/2014) from £4.31   |  Saving you £15.68 (363.81%)   |  RRP £19.99

As terror reigns down Milo has to fight his way out of the arena to save both himself and his true love Cassia (Emily Browning). With stunning special effects and thrilling action the might of the Roman Empire and the terrifying force of Mount Vesuvius are brought to life on screen like never before.

• Liar, Liar | DVD | (18/01/2010) from £6.76   |  Saving you £3.23 (47.78%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Jim Carrey is back in top form after his disastrous outing in The Cable Guy. As a lawyer who becomes physically unable to tell a lie for 24 hours after his son makes a magical birthday wish, Carrey learns a few brutal truths about the real meaning of life. There is very little plot, but Carrey's rubbery contortions and slapstick trickery provide just enough humour to keep you interested in this breezy bit of escapism. Not aided in Liar Liar by pets or animation, Carrey manages to do amazing and unique things with very simple props. He is also more in control of his acting than before. He is still over the top, but remains believable in some of the lower-energy scenes. An added plus is that the comedy is not as coarse as we've come to expect from him. --Rochelle O'Gorman

• The Diving Bell And The Butterfly | DVD | (09/06/2008) from £4.20   |  Saving you £15.79 (375.95%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The true story of ELLE editor Jean-Dominique Bauby who suffers a stroke and has to live in an almost totally paralyzed state; only his left eye retains feeling.

• The Graduate 50th Anniversary Edition | DVD | (14/08/2017) from £7.55   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Few films have defined a generation as much as The Graduate did. The alienation, the nonconformity, the intergenerational romance, the blissful Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack--they all served to lob a cultural grenade smack into the middle of 1967 America, ultimately making the film the third most profitable up to that time. Seen from a later perspective, its radical chic has dimmed a bit, yet it's still a joy to see Dustin Hoffman's bemused Benjamin and Anne Bancroft's deliciously decadent, sardonic Mrs Robinson. The script by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham is still offbeat and dryly funny and Mike Nichols, who won an Oscar for his direction, has just the right, light touch. --Anne Hurley, Amazon.com

• The Boys From Brazil | DVD | (10/03/2003) from £6.99   |  Saving you £3.00 (42.92%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Robustly entertaining and bracingly sinister, The Boys from Brazil stars Gregory Peck as the infamous Dr Josef Mengele, the former Nazi chief who intends to resurrect the Führer and create a Fourth Reich through genetic experiments that commence with the assassination of some 94 fathers. Elderly Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier, in an Oscar-nominated performance) is tipped to the plot, but his efforts to expose Peck (fiendishly cast against type) are thwarted by a set of menacing triplets played by Jeremy Black. Back in 1978, The Boys from Brazil (adapted from Ira Levin's novel) was an incalculably tense, straight-faced entertainment whose lack of irony allowed the viewer to indulge the film's outrageous premise without moral offence. But in view of the scientific advancements made since the release of the film, it's now a cautionary tale, and all the more compelling for being so. Jerry Goldsmith's richly conceived, Oscar-nominated score--replete with echoes of Mahler and Strauss--reinforces this impression.--Kevin Mulhall

• Horror Thrillers: 4-Film Collection | Blu Ray | (07/04/2025) from £28.85   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Classic horror-movie creatures get stylish updates in this quartet of cinematic frights from four visionary directors. Wolfen adds an ecological twist to Whitley Streiber's urban-blight commentary on a pack of lycanthropes defending its territory. The Hunger brings an art-house aesthetic to Streiber's revisionist vampire saga. This sexy tale will leave you hungry for more. Innocent Blood defies standard sensibilities by adding a vigilante vampire to the cops-and-mobsters genre and ups the blood count. Body Snatchers combines teenage alienation, body horror and government paranoia with alien invaders. Don't sleep. You won't want to after watching this.

• A Time for Dying (Standard Edition) | Blu Ray | (26/02/2024) from £9.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The final western from one of the genre's greatest directors, Budd Boetticher (Ride Lonesome), and the last screen appearance of war hero-turned-movie star Audie Murphy (To Hell and Back), A Time for Dying is an offbeat, elegiac look at the Old West, prefiguring Don Siegel's classic western, and John Wayne's final picture, The Shootist. Richard Lapp stars as a young man with fine shooting skills who crosses paths with real-life figures, such as Jesse James (played by Murphy) and Judge Roy Bean (Victor Jory), only to discover the true violence of the West. Beset by post-production and distribution problems, A Time for Dying is overdue the recognition it deserves.

• I Know What You Did Last Summer | DVD | (01/10/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Just what the world needs, another riff on that post-Psycho horror cliché: the slasher movie. In this version, which considerably dumbs down the Lois Duncan book, the bad guy chases naughty teenagers with a hook, all the while dressed as a dark version of the Gorton's fisherman. They seem to have killed someone in a car accident while out partying, and a price must be paid. Nothing new is added to the genre by I Know What You Did Last Summer, though it would be unfair not to note that this does have some scary moments. That is about all it has, because as much as this wanted to be another Scream, it hasn't the heart or the script. It does, however, have the requisite cast of small-screen stars (including Party of Five's Jennifer Love Hewitt and Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar) to have snagged box-office success, spawning a sequel. --Rochelle O'Gorman

• Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil | DVD | (25/01/1999) from £9.35   |  Saving you £4.64 (49.63%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Readers of John Berendt's bestselling novel, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, were bound to be at least somewhat disappointed by this big-screen adaptation, but despite mixed reaction from critics and audiences, there's still plenty to admire about director Clint Eastwood's take on the material. Readers will surely miss the rich atmosphere and societal detail that Berendt brought to his "Savannah story," and the movie can only scratch the surface of Georgian history, tradition and wealthy decadence underlying Berendt's fact-based murder mystery. Still, Eastwood maintains an assured focus on the wonderful eccentrics of Savannah, most notably a gay Savannah antiques dealer (superbly played by Kevin Spacey), who may or may not have killed his friend and alleged lover (Jude Law). John Cusack plays the Town & Country journalist who arrives in Savannah to find much more than he bargained for--including the city's legendary drag queen Lady Chablis (playing "herself")--and John Lee Hancock's smoothly adapted screenplay succeeds in bringing Berendt's characters vividly to life with plenty of flavourful dialogue. --Jeff Shannon
