"Actor: Ben"

• One Night In Miami... (2020) (Criterion Collection) UK Only | Blu Ray | (20/12/2021) from £19.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Adapted by Kemp Powers (Soul) from his acclaimed play, the feature directorial debut of Academy Awardwinning actor Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk) puts viewers in a room with four icons at the forefront of Black American culture as they carouse, clash, bare their souls, and grapple with their places within the sweeping change of the civil rights movement. February 25, 1964, has gone down in history as the day that the brash young boxer Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) defeated Sonny Liston, but what happened after the fight was perhaps even more incredible: Ali (Race's Eli Goree), civil rights leader Malcolm X (High Fidelity's Kingsley Ben-Adir), NFL great Jim Brown (Hidden Figures' Aldis Hodge), and King of Soul Sam Cooke (Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr.) all came together at a Miami motel. Electric with big ideas and activist spirit, One Night in Miami plunges us into the midst of an intimate, ongoing conversation - and a defining moment in American history. Special Edition Features: New 4K digital transfer, approved by director Regina King, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio New conversation between King and filmmaker Kasi Lemmons New conversation among King, screenwriter Kemp Powers, and critic Gil Robertson Conversation between King and filmmaker Barry Jenkins from a 2021 episode of The Director's Cut A DGA Podcast New program featuring King and actors Kingsley BenAdir, Eli Goree, Aldis Hodge, and Leslie Odom Jr. New program on the making of the film, featuring King, Powers, director of photography Tami Reiker, editor Tariq Anwar, producer Jody Klein, costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck, and set decorator Janessa Hitsman New program on the film's sound design, featuring sound editor and mixer Andy Hay, sound mixer Paul Ledford, and music producer Nick Baxter English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing English descriptive audio PLUS: An essay by critic Gene Seymour

  NEWS PRESENTER: Terry, you've been a friend, some would say a confidant of Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller for a number of years, can you give us an insight into what we can expect from this new DVD box set? TERRY DEVLIN: Oh yes Peter. Well from the very moment you convey this box set from your preferred retailer, be it high street shop, a superstore, a supermarket, or even an online, some might say virtual supplier, to your home NEWS PRESENTER: (Urging him on) But what of the actual content? The programmes contained on the discs? TERRY DEVLIN: I have been reliably informed, Peter, by the very individuals closest to Ben and Alexander that the box set could conceivably contain three whole series of comedy. NEWS PRESENTER: Comedy? TERRY DEVLIN: Oh yes Peter. BAFTA award-winning comedy. Or action, adventure, romance, science fiction, melodrama, perhaps even a murder mystery or one of the many, many branches of entertainment that are featured on a DVD release such as this. NEWS PRESENTER: Right. Well, more on the precise nature of this DVD box set later. But first a look at the extras

• Schindler's List | DVD | (12/04/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Both an artistic and a commercial triumph, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List manages to find some small glimmer of hope for the human spirit amid the abomination that was the Holocaust. The true story of flamboyant entrepreneur Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) and his attempts to save Jewish lives under the very noses of his Nazi associates gives Spielberg a focal point of conscience and humanity in an otherwise unrelentingly grim depiction of mankind's worst traits, here memorably embodied by Ralph Fiennes as the sadistic Nazi commandant Amon Goeth. Spielberg's determined and unflinching vision is supported by a dignified score from regular collaborator John Williams, and evocative black-and-white cinematography by Janusz Kaminski, which alternates a semi-documentary feel for the harrowing ghetto and concentration camp sequences with an altogether more decadent sensibility for the Nazis. The single use of colour tells of horror more shocking than any words could convey. It's true that towards the end Spielberg lets his sentimental streak off the leash when he chooses to focus on Schindler's grief, but otherwise this is filmmaking of the highest kind: compellingly dramatic, profoundly educational, and unfailingly emotive in the very best sense. On the DVD: Schindler's List is thinly spread across two discs, with a break at just over two hours into this three-hour movie. It's a little surprising that the feature could not have fitted onto one disc, especially given the absence of commentary or other additional tracks. The 1.85:1 anamorphic picture is fine, though displaying the graininess of the original film stock. Sound is available in highly detailed DTS. Extras on the second disc are limited to Voices from the List, a 77-minute documentary featuring the personal testimony of Schindler survivors, and an 11-minute feature on Spielberg's Shoah Foundation. There's nothing at all about the making of the movie. --Mark Walker

• The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (DVD + Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (15/07/2013) from £12.98   |  Saving you £9.00 (81.89%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Receiving its long-overdue High Definition premiere as part of this Dual Format edition The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is John Cassavetes' uncompromising character study of a gangster. Cassavetes regular Ben Gazzara (Anatomy of a Murder Husbands The Big Lebowski) plays a seedy Los Angeles strip-club owner who runs up heavy gambling debts which he arranges to wipe out by murdering an elderly Chinese gangster. Also amongst the cast is Cassavetes regular Seymour Cassel (Faces Rushmore) and legendary cult actor Timothy Carey (The Killing Paths of Glory). Arguably the most plot-driven of his films Cassavates withdrew The Killing of a Chinese Bookie shortly after the initial release and subsequently re-cut a shorter version with a different opening. Both cuts are made available on Blu-ray and the DVD. Special Features: Presented in both High Definition and Standard Definition Includes both the 135 minute and 108 minute re-cut versions Selected scene commentary by Al Rubin and Peter Bogdanovich on long version Extensive booklet with essays and film credits

• Farscape Season 2 | DVD | (11/04/2011) from £22.79   |  Saving you £2.20 (9.65%)   |  RRP £24.99

  The second series of Farscape expands upon and develops the characters introduced in the ambitious first series. John Crichton's new nemesis is the deadly Scorpius, replacing Crais, who has taken the living ship Moya's offspring on a voyage into the unknown. Moya's regular crew--Aeryn, Zhaan, Chiana, D'Argo and Rygel--remain as divided and suspicious of each other as ever, yet somehow manage to pull together at times of crisis. The writers continue to exploit the show's gift for surprising as well as emotionally convincing character development, while the CGI effects, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry--courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop--continue to make Farscape the most original-looking SF show on TV. The witty scripts, peppered with postmodern pop-culture references and movie in-jokes, are also a breath of fresh air. Despite some wildly erratic shifts in tone, this is exceptional TV science fiction that continually pushes the accepted boundaries of the genre. --Mark Walker
