• Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers | DVD | (28/04/2003) from £21.58   |  Saving you £-1.59 (-8.00%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Cool jazz from superstar Art Blakey. In the case of Art Blakey the name 'Jazz Legend' is wholly appropriate. Born in 1919 Blakey served his musical apprenticeship in the bands of Billy Eckstine and Dizzy Gillespie where his reputation as a drummer grew. The Jazz Messangers were formed in 1955 and were pivotal until Art's death in 1990 in nurturing the hard edged be-bop sound and the jazz greats of the future. When one considers the diversity of this array of talent it is amazing that Blakey had the strength of personality as a leader and musical geneous to put the stamp of the Jazz Messengers on each of them. This unique DVD also contains a set by Johnny Griffin.

  Carnal Knowledge: One of the most controversial movies of its time this thought-provoking (Leonard Maltin) comedy-drama from legendary director Mike Nichols is a funny yet poignant look at relationships as seen through the eyes of two friends over a 20-year period. Superbly crafted by playwright Jules Feiffer Carnal Knowledge is brimming with touching insights sexy banter and powerful performances by three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson Ann-Margaret Candice Bergen and pop music icon Arthur Garfunkel. Jonathan (Nicholson) and Sandy (Garfunkel) are college roommates who share an endless fascination - and obsession - with women. As time goes by their relentless pursuit for the joys of the flesh becomes more competitive. And more damaging. Soon Jonathan and Sandy's lives become a vicious circle of girls booze and unfulfillment and they realize only too late that in the war of the sexes they are their own worst enemy... The Graduate: In his first major film role Dustin Hoffman plays an ultra-na''ve college graduate who's seduced by a middle-aged woman played by the scintillating Anne Bancroft and then falls in love with her daughter. With the sharpest of scripts and a perfect soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel this film was deservedly nominated for 6 Oscars and won Nichols an Academy Award for Best Director. The Elephant Man: David Lynch creator of Twin Peaks and acclaimed director of 'Eraserhead' 'Blue Velvet' and 'Wild At Heart' directs this bizarre but true story of courage and human dignity. John Hurt gives the performance of a lifetime as John Merrick the worst freak known to Victorian medical science a man whose body is hideously distorted into a grotesque parody of an elephant. Rescued from a travelling freak show by Sir Frederick Treves Merrick gradually reveals himself to be a strangely sweet and gentle man remarkably unembittered by the degradation and torment he suffered at the circus. Beautifully shot by Freddie Francis and with an excellent supporting cast including Sir John Gielgud Anne Bancroft and Dame Wendy Hiller 'The Elephant Man' is a compelling moving and enchanting story. The film was nominated for eight Oscars including Best Picture Best Director and Best Actor.

• Benny Golson - The Whisper Not Tour | DVD | (05/12/2012) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-1.99 (-8.00%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Legend in every sense of the word Benny Golson is one of a few jazzmen whose achievements as a composer equal his accomplishments as a saxophonist. 'As a player Golson remains an awesome modern mainstream improviser able to craft captivating and emotion-laden melodic lines while sailing through the chord changes with the ease afforded by his ultra sharp composer's ear.' - David Franklin JazzTimes This DVD features far more than just the genius of Golson. Performing alongside Benny in this timeless uncut concert is a plethora of talent; Art Farmer in his last live recorded video performance with Golson & Curtis Fuller (original members of the historic Jazztet) and the man Time Magazine called 'the James Joyce of Jazz ' vocalist extraordinaire Jon Hendricks. After writing the classic 'Whisper Not ' for Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band Benny's reputation flourished. Working with talent such as Quincy Jones Lou Rawls Connie Francis Ella Fitzgerald Nancy Wilson Sammy Davis Jr. and Diana Ross Golson also penned numerous standards such as 'Killer Joe' and 'I Remember Clifford.' Whether leading Philadelphia's Columbus Avenue jam sessions playing with fellow stars such as John Coltrane or in a Hollywood recording studio writing the scores for classic American television shows such as M*A*S*H The Cosby Show and Mission Impossible Jazz's elder statesman Benny Golson is simply remarkable.

• The Brood | DVD | (25/10/1999) from £12.98   |  Saving you £3.01 (23.19%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Arguably the best and most personal of director David Cronenberg's early films, The Brood is an extremely unsettling horror film about familial disintegration and emotional trauma taken to a monstrous extreme. Art Hindle stars as a man embroiled in a bitter custody struggle with his estranged wife (Samantha Eggar), who is undergoing therapy at psychiatrist Oliver Reed's controversial institute. Reed's treatment causes his patients to give form to their inner conflicts, and Eggar--whose psyche is at the boiling point from childhood abuse as well as the custody trial--creates a horde of homicidal humanoid children who enact bloody revenge on anyone who has threatened their "mother". Cronenberg's first feature with name actors and composer Howard Shore has its share of gruesome moments, but the film's subtext--how emotional violence impacts a family--is its most chilling aspect. --Paul Gaita
