Neil Jordan's dark, romantic Mona Lisa stars Bob Hoskins as a tough but lovable thug. Just out of prison, he's given a job by his old boss (Michael Caine) as chauffeur to a gorgeous but chilly call-girl (Cathy Tyson). For all his criminal experience, this guy is surprisingly innocent; when he develops a crush on the woman he's driving, it leads inevitably to tragedy. Hoskins is heartbreakingly good as this poor thick sod, while Caine projects an oily malevolence. Tyson is also fine as a woman who has secrets of her own. --Marshall Fine

The only difference between a hunter and a killer...is his prey. A serial killer is on the loose in and around the small community of Globe Arizona and housewife Joan White (Cathy Moriarty) gradually comes to suspect that her opera-loving hi-fi engineer husband Paul (David Keith) might know more than he's letting on... So far so familiar but in the hands of British visionary Donald Cammell (who wrote and co-directed Performance with Nicolas Roeg) the film becomes a dazzling kaleidoscope of images and ideas spanning everything from Apache folklore desert landscapes and stylish murder set-pieces that recall Dario Argento to a painfully vivid dissection of the emotional fissures undermining a modern marriage. It's all set to an equally eclectic score co-written by Pink Floyd's Nick Mason. Described by the distinguished critic David Thomson as 'one of the great secret works in cinema' White of the Eye is one of the most bizarre and unforgettable thrillers ever made.

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
