The Last Vampyre is an overblown two-hour adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire", and was perhaps the most ill-advised of Granada Television's Sherlock Holmes series. Entirely contrary to the tone and spirit of Doyle's tale--which finds Holmes victoriously pitting his well-grounded deductive powers against irrational fears of a rise in blood sucking--The Last Vampyre is something of an embarrassment to the largely wonderful legacy of Granada's earlier efforts. (For the record, most of the creative executives who, along with star Jeremy Brett, had made the beloved series what it was in the 1980s were replaced by 1992, the year of this film.) In this version, Holmes does battle with a Dracula-like fellow who may or may not be the real McCoy. There is a great deal of padding to fill out the story to feature length, and it is mostly silly. So, you ask, is there anything to recommend this? Well, there is the ailing Brett's ever-fascinating performance, which deviates from Doyle's vision of the detective hero toward something darker and more personal. Edward Hardwicke does his usual warm and capable work as Dr Watson. --Tom Keogh
Take a trip into the past and visit the most famous shipwreck in history.Take your place in a cramped submersible and visit the wreck of the most famous maritime disaster in history: the RMS Titanic! For a century the story of the ship that never completed its maiden voyage has fascinated the public, featuring in numerous hit films such as 'A Night To Remember', 'Raise The Titanic' and, of course, James Cameron's box office smash 'Titanic'. Now, join one lucky member of the public as he gets the chance to see with his own eyes the actual remains of the ship.As competition winner Rob Goldsmith travels to the wreck site, south of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic Ocean, we learn about the ship itself and that fateful night in April 1912 when the unthinkable occurred and the 'unsinkable' ship went down, with a death toll of over 1,500 men, women and children. The sheer excitement at witnessing a sight that few people have ever seen (it is thought that more people have gone into space than have seen RMS Titanic) is in contrast to the scale of the tragedy that took place there, resulting in a uniquely moving and fascinating film for all fans of history in general and the Titanic in particular.

Johan August Strindberg is frequently described as the father of modern Swedish literature, having written prolifically over 4 decades as a novelist, essayist, and playwright. An iconoclastic visionary, Strindberg's work varied drastically in subject matter, dramatic technique, and form. Painting true, rather than pretty pictures, Strindberg attained a level of psychological realism equaled by few dramatists before or since. In the three One-Act mini-dramas presented on this exclusive DVD, l...

Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking. Eastwood mines gold for each and every character: charting the powerful bonds that develop between "white-trash" Missouri waitress and aspiring boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), her reluctant trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), and training-gym partner Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman). --Jeff Shannon
