The second film by the grandfather of surf films, Bruce Brown, Surf Crazy focuses on a surfing trip to Mexico in 1959, a time when surfing was so obscure that most of the Mexicans encountered along the Pacific shoreline had no idea why the crazy young Americans had long wooden boards strapped to the roof of their cars. The big problem with being a pioneer is that the subjects of Brown's film couldn't ask anyone where the good surfing spots were, so much of the film consists of the Americans riding rough unmarked roads in search of worthwhile waves. Brown appears on camera to explain that when this film was first shown in venues around California, he would appear onstage and narrate it. And a recording of his original narration, full of jokes both quirky and corny, accompanies the colour film footage in this version. The film itself sometimes shows its age, as scratches flicker past, but the colour is vibrant and the footage of surfers in an utterly pristine environment is often riveting. The second half of the film took Brown and his trusty camera to Hawaii, where surfers hit the waves at gorgeous Waimea Bay. Surf Crazy captures a beautiful golden era in the history of surfing, and even those who have never stepped on a board will find it very entertaining. --Robert J McNamara, Amazon.com

Director Sam Raimi may now be renowned for his trilogy of Spider-Man films, but for many, its the Evil Dead films that hold a special place in their heart. Unsurprisingly, too, for heres a horror film thats got no sign of Hollywood studio interference, no wish to tone things down, and instead finds a massively talented film maker stretching a small budget to impressive ends. The Evil Dead, along with its sequels, has built up a cult following since its original release, but its also earned a deserved respect too. For this is a film thats jammed with energy, and genuinely bursting with ideas. Granted, in the years since its release, many have been mined by the horror genre. But theres still so much to admire and enjoy. The film, if youve not had the pleasure, stars Bruce Campbell as Ash, one of a group of five friends who head to a cabin in the woods on holiday. While there, unwisely as it turns out, they play a tape that they shouldnt, and all hell breaks loose. It also sets loose a very enjoyable half and a half of stylish, and gory horror. It comes out of its Blu-ray release surprisingly well, too. Heres a film shot on old stock, that should be showing plenty of wear and tear. And yet the 1080p transfer here is a fine job, backed up by an always-welcome package of extras. The end result is both a fine way to enjoy the movie for the first time, or arguably the best way to revisit it. Either way, its very much a recommended buy. --Jon Foster

An enigmatic but deeply talented man Peter Sellers remains one of the finest British actors to grace our screens. This special Box Set collection pays tribute to his full range of acting abilities - from the farce comedy to the action drama - with three contrasting yet equally entertaining films. Orders Are Orders: A sleepy army barracks is about to be overrun by a film company shooting a science fiction caper - much to the annoyance of the Divisional Commander who decides to make a surprise inspection. The Blockhouse: A group of POW's is forced to seek shelter deep inside a Nazi Blockhouse packed with supplies and hidden treasures. When the bombardment causes the walls to collapse and there is no hope of escape their physical comfort gives way to mental disintegration that provides these hardened soldiers with their toughest test of the war. Where Does It Hurt? In this classic hospital farce Sellers plays a greedy and crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the duplicitous arts of conning insurance companies bill-padding and unnecessary surgery. Ably abetted by Jo-Ann Pflug (MASH) and Pat Morita (Karate Kid Happy Days) Sellers puts in a show-stealing performance that lives long in the memory.
