"Actor: Cathy Rogers"

• Casper | DVD | (01/09/2008) from £7.61   |  Saving you £2.38 (31.27%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The 1995 family film Casper tries to put a fun spin on the story of a paranormalist and widower (Bill Pullman) who moves into a new house with his daughter (Christina Ricci) and meets up with the ghost of a dead little boy. Based on the comic book about Casper the friendly ghost, the film is a dreary series of awkward interactions between live actors and computer effects, and you can almost see Pullman and Ricci reconsidering the project while on camera. A few cameo appearances from uncredited stars help things a bit. But there's no way, based on this film, that one could have guessed that its director, Brad Silberling, would go on to make the exceptional drama City of Angels. This special edition DVD release includes a director's commentary and exhaustive 47-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, plus games and DVD-ROM content for the kids. --Tom Keogh

• Scrapheap Challenge - The Commandments | DVD | (15/10/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  A compilation of the best bits of the Channel 4 series, Scrapheap Challenge--The Commandments is an enjoyable enough exercise in eccentricity. Presented with admirable gusto by Robert Llewellyn and Cathy Rogers, each episode features two teams set an engineering challenge with only the contents of a large scrapheap for inspiration and materials. Watching the assorted teams of oddballs trying to create such diverse projects as drag racers and car crushers from little more than junk is certainly diverting, proving to be a little harder than it was on the A-Team. Edited down from the TV version, the rushed nature of it all is a little frustrating, with the teams seeming to jump from a pile of scrap to the finished article. This is not particularly one for the casual observer but certainly recommended for fans of the show. On the DVD: chapter selection makes it easy to head straight for your favourite challenge, be it the catapult or the mini-submarine. The picture quality is true to the video original, capturing the bright and colourful lighting of the television programme. There are no extras, however, leaving the package slightly lacking on this format. --Phil Udell
