• Roughnecks - Starship Troopers Chronicles - Vol. 5 | DVD | (10/02/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Inspired by Robert Heinlein's pulp classic and executive-produced by Paul Verhoeven, who made the big-screen version, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is cutting-edge TV animation that's more for grown-ups than kids. The neat equipment, combat suits and weapons are as deadly as they are cool, and even though the extreme gore and violence of the movie has been toned down, the endless threat from all manner of nasty bugs is still pretty terrifying. Five roughly 20-minute episodes are spliced together into a movie-length feature, which makes for a satisfyingly lengthy story arc instead of the more usual self-contained individual episodes. Like all good war stories, at its heart Roughnecks celebrates that Band of Brothers-style bonding in extreme circumstances, which we viewers can only experience vicariously. --Mark Walker

Most of the suspects are actors by profession, but Poirot's "little grey cells" are able to penetrate the murderer's disguise--though only after two more victims heighten the suspense. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

• David Blaine - Showman | DVD | (12/11/2001) from £5.49   |  Saving you £14.50 (264.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The real magic of David Blaine is in his command of an all-walks-of-life audience, but featured here is the "Frozen in Time" show that follows the preparation and aftermath of his three days and nights entombed in a six-ton block of ice. The footage is often quite alarming, as is a narration explaining his state of mind at the end. Visited by his girlfriend, Kevin Spacey and Michael J Fox (in subtler fashion than Leo DiCaprio on the Mystifier show), it's all about re-affirming the reality of the situation. Intercut with the Times Square footage is plenty of the street magic Blaine excels at. Confounding the NY Knicks and increasingly eccentric passers-by, you'll see him resurrect dead animals, cry the diamond from a woman's ring and bafflingly show off a tattoo of a complete stranger's girlfriend. Fans are treated to his very first video footage test of the show format as well as the dearly departed (!) Tarko the Great. On the DVD: Get ready for abject frustration as you spend ages working out how to access the disc's "beautiful secrets". Once you do, there are lots of little surprises to enjoy--such as Blaine being told off by the Memphis police, a mini photo gallery, levitating money in Haiti and five minutes of making the DVD, where you see a very bored crew at his commentary recording. The main feature commentary is quite sporadic in how much he has to say, but is actually very revealing. Don't expect any giveaway explanations, but it is a genuinely fascinating insight into the mind responsible for some truly spectacular feats of magic. --Paul Tonks

• Depeche Mode - 101 | DVD | (10/11/2003) from £18.88   |  Saving you £-4.89 (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Depeche Mode 101 is a fascinating documentary co-directed by the esteemed DA Pennebaker (The War Room, Down from the Mountain), focusing on backstage realities of art and business during the synthesizer band's 1988 American tour. We see managers worrying over slow ticket sales for a stand at the Rose Bowl, observe sound checks at concert sites, get a tour of the group's multiple keyboard banks and listen with some alarm to singer David Gahan describe his steroid-based throat treatments. There are plenty of performance clips, but for music alone, Disc 2 in this package contains the uninterrupted Rose Bowl show, including the plaintive "Blasphemous Rumours", the exultant drama of "Stripped", and the dreamy "Somebody". Pennebaker's promotional video "Everything Counts" is also here, but don't miss the director's recent, touching and informative interviews with the now 40-something, individual members of Depeche Mode. --Tom Keogh

• The Mummy's Shroud | DVD | (27/10/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

• The Big Tease | DVD | (12/03/2001) from £21.25   |  Saving you £-7.26 (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Anyone who's suffered the misfortune of stumbling upon Kevin Allen's nauseous debut Twin Town--a ramshackle Trainspotting transposed to the cinematic slag heap of Swansea--will be pleasantly surprised by this gentle sophomore effort. The Big Tease follows gay Glaswegian hairdresser Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson), a flamboyant character who stays just the right side of caricature, as he heads to LA to represent bonny Scotland in the World Freestyle Hairdressing Championship. Only there's a hitch: once in Hollywood, Crawford discovers he's only been invited to be a spectator at the event, which means the huge hotel bill he's racked up will have to come out of his own pocket. Undeterred, the stubborn stylist sets about gaining a union card and, ultimately, entry to the competition, frantically trying to establish Beverly Hills contacts with a mind to pulling a few much-needed strings. Allen's movie is an interesting hybrid, half Hollywood satire (the greed, the self-importance, the insincerity) and half sports-movie with a twist (events inevitably lead to a climactic showdown, as Crawford goes blade-to-blade with the wonderfully pompous Norwegian champ). And yet, by and large, it works, the loquacious Ferguson giving us someone to hold onto in a slippery world populated by disdainful creeps, his probity alone ensuring our heartfelt support come competition night. The filmmakers' decision to opt for a "mockumentary" format à la The Blair Witch Project and Drop Dead Gorgeous also pays dividends, for it is Crawford's candid confessions to camera that allow us to navigate beyond his carefully constructed plumage and discover the person beneath.--Jamie Graham

• Crime Story - Series One | DVD | (16/08/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Following the phenomenal success of Miami Vice executive producer Michael Mann returned to the small screen with a new kind of gritty police drama one that talked tougher and hit harder than anything TV had ever seen before.

• Reel Heroes: Big Lebowski | Blu Ray | (09/04/2013) from £16.18   |  Saving you £8.81 (54.45%)   |  RRP £24.99

  The Big Lebowski, a casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen brothers (Ethan and Joel), seems like a bit of a lark and the result was a box-office disappointment. It's lazy plot is part of its laidback charm. After all, how many movies can claim as their hero a pot-bellied, pot-smoking loser named Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) who spends most of his time bowling and getting stoned? And where else could you find a hair-netted Latino bowler named Jesus (John Turturro) who sports dazzling purple footgear, or an erotic artist (Julianne Moore) whose creativity consists of covering her naked body in paint, flying through the air in a leather harness, and splatting herself against a giant canvas? Who else but the Coens would think of showing you a camera view from inside the holes of a bowling ball, or an elaborate Busby Berkely-styled musical dream sequence involving a Viking goddess and giant bowling pins? The plot--which finds Lebowski involved in a kidnapping scheme after he's mistaken for a rich guy with the same name--is almost beside the point. What counts here is a steady cascade of hilarious dialogue, great work from Coen regulars John Goodman and Steve Buscemi, and the kind of cinematic ingenuity that puts the Coens in a class all their own. --Jeff Shannon
