• Housesitter | DVD | (25/06/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  A slick, smart vehicle for Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, Housesitter offers an acceptably daffy premise and enough inventive business to sustain it through to the, not unexpected, happy ending. Architect Martin builds a dream home for his childhood sweetheart (Dana Delaney) only to be rejected when he proposes marriage. After a one-night stand, Hawn--a daffy waitress with a gift for making up improbable but convincing lies--moves into Martin's house and tells his parents (Donald Moffatt, Julie Harris) and the whole community that she is his surprise new wife. When he sees how this impresses Delaney, Martin goes along with the charade, encouraging wilder and wilder fictions and doing his best to join in so that he can rush through to a divorce and move on to the woman he has always wanted. Hawn has to recruit a couple of winos to pose as her parents and impress Martin's boss into giving him a promotion, but we glimpse her real misery at his eventual intention to toss her out of the make-believe world she has created because her own real background is so grim. Its sit-com hi-jinx are manic enough not to be strangled by an inevitable dip in to sentiment towards the end, and Hawn, who always has to work hard, is better matched against the apparently effortless Martin than in their subsequent pairing in Out-of-Towners. Martin, often wasted in comparatively straight roles, has a few wild and crazy scenes as Hawn prompts him into joining her improvised fantasies. Director Frank Oz, a frequent Martin collaborator (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Little Shop of Horrors, Bowfinger), is the model of a proper, competent, professional craftsman when he sets out to put a comedy together--but the film misses streaks of lunacy or cruelty that might have made it funnier and more affecting. On the DVD: The disc offers a pristine widescreen non-anamorphic transfer, letterboxed to 1.85:1. There are no extra features to speak of, just text-based production notes, cast and director bios, plus a trailer and an assortment of language and subtitle options. --Kim Newman

• The Jazz Channel Presents BB King | DVD | (26/03/2001) from £33.30   |  Saving you £-18.31 (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  At the time this concert was recorded, Blues Boy King was a mere 75, but the only way his age shows is that he sits down while playing. The notes he wrings from "Lucille", his gold-plated Gibson guitar, are as bittersweet as ever. The set opens with King delivering a gutsy version of the classic, "Let the Good Times Roll", backed by a swinging jazz-blues ensemble of horn section, guitar and drums. King slows down the tempo for "I'll Survive", which he sings with gravel and tears in his voice, the rapt audience responding to every nuance. The master of 12-bar blues, who has influenced a whole generation of musicians (including Eric Clapton with whom he collaborated on the album Riding with the King), is also an ace entertainer. If you can bear to lose the sound for a moment, just watch his facial expressions and gestures: BB is at his best when he has an audience to respond to. Age hasn't tarnished any of his musical skill, either: just listen to the way he bends strings and vibrates notes on "The Thrill Has Gone". Vintage tracks such as "Ain't That Just Like Woman", are mingled with newer, poppier ones such as "Making Love Is Good For You", the title track from his latest album. As this is a live gig, BB chucks in a lot of humour which may not be to the blues purist's taste, but helps make this video a brilliant introduction to the music of a living legend. The end of the video features footage of King talking about how he got started, and how he's still a Mississippi boy. An hour of heaven with the granddaddy of the Blues. -- Lorna Read

• Iron Eagle | DVD | (25/11/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Iron Eagles (short of Top Gun) is close to being the definitive boys' movie of the 1980s. An 18-year-old (Jason Gedrick) gets instruction from an old vet (Louis Gossett Jr) in how to fly an F-16 jet and kick butt in the Middle East, all while listening to his Walkman and--oh, yeah--saving his father from terrorist clutches. Gossett wears his tough-love face while the kids run rampant. Speaking of children, young guys must have like this comic-book movie, as its success spawned three sequels. But watch out for the Reagan-era jingoism and political reductiveness. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
