  After some years making a name for himself as a serious actor and television presenter, Lenny Henry in Pieces sees the comedian return to the world of the TV sketch show. Having always struggled to find a suitable format for his comedy (remember Delbert Wilkins?), Henry has this time settled on a fairly frantic style, with mixed results. The best bits, as has often been the case with his material, come when he draws on the rich vein of West Indian humour, particularly the more mature characters. When he heads more for the middle of the road, however, Henry starts to falter. The movie pastiches are largely uninspired, ironically coming across as little more than cast offs from French and Saunders, and the show is lacking in the energy that so infuses Henry's stand up routines. There certainly are some good characters (Weekend Dad and the homo-erotic trawlermen Pete and Steve especially) but after a while the lack of variety in even these creations becomes frustrating. Such repetition works in the superior ensemble piece of The Fast Show, but this falls flat over the course of the eight episodes. Looks like Lenny Henry might need to go back to the drawing board. On the DVD: Lenny Henry in Pieces has a running time of nearly four hours, so the lack of extras may be understandable but is no less disappointing. The interactive menu is handy for skipping through some of the less engaging moments but is not detailed enough to help pinpoint specific scenes. The audio and picture quality is good enough television quality. Additional material is limited to 14 minutes of cringingly unfunny out-takes, further proof (if it were needed) that watching someone forget their lines over and over again does not necessarily mean great comedy. --Phil Udell

  It's 1948. It's Berlin and the city is in a state of devastation. Although in the hands of Allied troops the Soviet Union as a member state blockades all Allied sectors in an attempt to take sole control of the fallen German capital. The result is the Berlin Airlift and the story follows the lives of two US Airmen Sgt. Danny MacCullough and Sgt. Hank Kowalski who are there to help the civilians but have very different views of the German people. The arrogant Kowalski cannot forgive them for WWII and will not be dissuaded from holding every German accountable but MacCullough grasps the beleaguered city with both hands and opens his heart to an attractive German widow... in return she opens Danny's eyes to the twilight world of occupied Berlin. Shot on location in bomb blasted Berlin this movie shows some truely harrowing scenes of a post war capital city in ruins.

They do it just for the rush the adrenaline rush the pure passion for life for love as only the young can love. A love more important than life itself. But infiltrating a boatload of immigrants who are washed up on a dangerous shore a land ruled by the merciless iron fist of Colonel Kufard takes the lovers beyond the dangers of the 'game' and into a nightmare realm of violence and damnation. A new game with new rules played to the death. A desperate fugitive running from the past pursued by ROTT the beast that stops at nothing to carry out the order to kill. A rottweiler left for dead that comes back ever stronger with fangs and jaws of steel and a single-minded bloodlust. Reinforced with modern technology and possessed of an ancient evil that will not die until it has devoured the heart and possessed the soul of its prey. A chase across a landscape of terror where there is no friend no refuge no respite from relentless violence and cruelty ... there is only the hunter and the hunted. Brian Yuzna bases his chilling tale on a novel by Spanish author Alberto Vazquez Figueroa adding science-fiction overtones and setting the action in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world. The fright fest features excellent special effects Vincent Guastini and an appearance by the great Spanish horror actor Paul Naschy.
