• La Haine | Blu Ray | (17/08/2009) from £38.98   |  Saving you £-22.99 (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Inspired by cinematic classics including Mean Streets Do the Right Thing and The Battle of Algiers Mathieu Kassovitz's LA HAINE is arguably the most incendiary provocative and prescient fi lm to emerge from the '90s. Starkly shot in black and white to show a Paris not on any tourist map the fi lm deals with France's intolerance towards outsiders following Vinz (Vincent Cassel Irreversible Ocean's 12) Hubert (the magnifi cent Hubert Kound'') and Sa''d (Sa''d Taghmaoui Hideous Kinky Three Kings) three young men trapped in the Parisian economic ethnic and social underclass. Sensationally premiered at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival LA HAINE saw Kassovitz rewarded with the Best Director prize and subsequently went on to win three C''sars (including Best Film). Marked by its unapologetic brutality and v''rit'' style LA HAINE acted as a compelling wake up call to Europe.

• Murder On The Orient Express | DVD | (23/10/2017) from £7.18   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Just the name "Orient Express" conjures up images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie's delightfully pernickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this train trip and, to Poirot's puzzlement, everyone seems to have a motive--just the set-up for a terrific whodunit. Though it seems like an ensemble film, director Sidney Lumet gives each of his stars their own solo and each makes the most of it. Bergman went so far as to win an Oscar for her role. But the real scene-stealer is the ever-reliable Finney as the eccentric detective who never misses a trick. --Marshall Fine

• Shrek | Blu Ray | (31/10/2011) from £17.53   |  Saving you £0.46 (2.62%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Set in a strange, colourful land populated by fairy tale characters, Shrek is a hilarious comedy that will win over audiences of children and adults alike. Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is a fearsome green ogre living in isolation in his own cosy little swamp. He is not receptive to visitors, and fends off the occasional party of torch-wielding villagers with ease. But when the power-hungry Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) turns Shrek's swamp into a relocation camp for dozens of banished fairy-tale characters (including some pesky dwarves, wolves, and fairies) Shrek's quiet, introverted life is ruined. Joined by the talkative Donkey (Eddie Murphy), Shrek makes his way to Farquaad's realm of Duloc, where the Lord promises to make Shrek an offer: He will rid Shrek's land of the unwanted visitors if Shrek will go on a simple quest to free Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from her remote, dragon-guarded castle and convince her to marry Farquaad. On their quest, Shrek and Donkey run into a number of bizarre situations, and Shrek finds himself realising that he isn't quite the fearsome monster he has always made himself out to be. Reinventing the traditional fairy tale adventure, Shrek features gorgeous computer animation, a unique sense of humour, and compelling characters - especially Murphy's lovable Donkey.

• Pret-a-Porter | DVD | (13/02/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Robert Altman's much-anticipated broadside at the world of fashion, Pret A Porter is a disappointment. The film's crazy-quilt Nashville-like narrative structure and ensemble casting (Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Lauren Bacall, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren) are a thing to behold, but the story's many interlocking pieces lack overall depth and resonating emotion. There is a grand, satiric statement about fashion and society at the end of the film, and there are hints of an aging, nostalgic filmmaker's scepticism about our post-modern world of short-lived attachments and meanings. But watching this film is a long, long uphill climb, with a lot of thin air to endure before arriving at a destination. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
