• The Twilight Zone - Vol. 4 | DVD | (29/05/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  In 1959 screenwriter Rod Serling first opened the door to the "dimension of imagination" that is The Twilight Zone, a show quite unlike anything that had gone before, and better than much that has followed in its wake. This original and daring television series ran for five seasons from 1959 to 1964 and still looks as fresh as ever, particularly on DVD. What distinguished the series was the quality of the scripts, many of which were penned by Serling, but with significant contributions from veteran sci-fi authors and screenwriters such as Richard Matheson. Actors of the calibre of Robert Redford, Burgess Meredith, Lee Marvin and William Shatner gave some of their best small-screen performances, while an unforgettable main title theme by Bernard Herrmann and musical contributions from young turks such as Jerry Goldsmith underlined the show's attraction for great creative talent both behind and in front of the cameras.Volume 4 cherry-picks four of the show's more diverse episodes. In "Mr Dingle the Strong" (episode 55) alien visitors experiment on a hapless human, but instead of sinister X Files horror, Serling plays it for laughs. Despite the sparkling presence of Burgess Meredith (the closest the series came to a regular star), this one-joke plot demonstrates why the Zone only rarely ventured into comedy. "Two" (episode 66) pits a characteristically taciturn Charles Bronson against an even more stoical Elizabeth Montgomery, two soldiers from opposing sides who must rediscover themselves as the last man and woman and play Adam and Eve in a post-holocaust world. "A Passage for Trumpet" (episode 32) casts Jack Klugman (The Odd Couple, Quincy) as a downtrodden trumpeter who, in a jazz rewrite of It's a Wonderful Life, learns to value life. Nice. Finally, "The Four of Us are Dying" (episode 13) employs four different actors to play the same character, a "cheap little con-man" whose ability to change his features at will doesn't prevent his deserved comeuppance (more jazz here, this time in a wonderfully jagged underscore from Jerry Goldsmith).On the DVD: A neat animated menu with a winking eye guides the viewer "Inside the Twilight Zone", which consists of digests of background information on the individual episodes, as well as a general history of the show, season-by-season breakdown and a potted biography of Serling. --Mark Walker

• Gasaraki (Vol.4): From the Ashes | DVD | (16/12/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The new 5.1 surround sound remix for Hideaki Anno's watershed Neon Genesis Evangelion works most effectively in the battles with the Angels, and these episodes offer two epic combat sequences. In episode 6, Shinji tackles Ramiel, the Fifth Angel, using a special rifle that requires all the electrical power in Japan. The eerily quiet scenes of the darkening archipelago contrast sharply with the furious energy beam attacks that follow. The arrival of arrogant, temperamental Third Child Asuka Sohryu makes life even more miserable for Shinji. In episode 9, he and Asuka use a perfectly coordinated combination of gymnastic and dance movements to defeat Israfel, the Seventh Angel. As the remixed episodes contain no new footage, they're really for viewers who've installed a 5.1 system, but who don't already have this landmark series.----Charles Solomon

  Inevitably remembered for his 'tough guy' roles Charles Bronson was the former coal miner turned actor who brought realism to every role be it a western gunfighter vigilante or police chief. Bronson himself wondered whether he was 'too masculine' to become a star the same year he was voted Most Popular Actor in the World. The three films in this collection showcase his versatility to perfection; the pornographer who falls in love with a young girl in Lola the potentially murderous amnesiac in Someone Behind The Door and the drug trader out for revenge when his wife is kidnapped in Cold Sweat.
