The tournament was the last great sporting event of the Millennium and it didn't disappoint the fans. This film follows the path of each team from the Uruguayans making their World Cup debut with a win over Spain to the eventual champions Australia. Every crucial move and every decisive try is captured but the film also gives you a unique insight into the way the players approached the tournament. How did they fill their time in between matches?

For a while The Net looked like it was going to be quickly outdated by the technology it showcased. But now we know that anyone can personalise their systems and Internet search engines, so the colourful displays endlessly intercut on Sandra Bullock's screens look perfectly contemporary. As a movie, the concept was already outdated by the time of its 1995 release, however. The plot takes pains to emulate the style and formula of a Hitchcock chase thriller. There's a computer disc "McGuffin" being sought after by conspiratorial baddies; while the lonely hero on the run is eminently sympathetic yet attractively flawed. Bullock, though, was perfectly cast at a point well before her star status took over. Although some of the suspense contrivances may seem simplistically predictable, there's an undeniable fascination in the theme of losing one's identity. Everywhere Bullock turns she's faced with either a bald reflection or mirroring metaphor of how the computer age strips us of individuality. And, indeed, privacy. Sooner or later, the technology will become outdated of course. Until then, be careful how you surf. On the DVD: The Net comes to disc in Dolby 5.1 sound and widescreen 1.85:1. It's hard to choose between the two commentaries included. Both the Writer's and the joint talk from the Director and Producer are crammed with anecdotal reference (with a little overlap). Then there are two documentaries of about 20 minutes each, but here the newest is by far the most interesting. Trailers and filmographies fill out the package. --Paul Tonks
During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms. As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds. Directed by Joe Wright, DARKEST HOUR is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill's courage to lead changed the course of world history.
The exciting story of the hijack of an oil rig supply vessel and the subsequent holding to ransom of a drilling rig a production platform and the 700 men aboard.
Filmed in VIDECOLOR--[explosions, drum roll, music builds to a climax]--and SUPERMARIONATION"! The opening sequence of Thunderbirds is itself a masterclass in Gerry Anderson's marionette hyperbole: who else would dare to make a virtue out of the fact that (a)the show is in colour and (b) it's got puppets in it? But everything about this series really is epic: Thunderbirds is action on the grandest scale, pre-dating such high-concept Hollywood vehicles as Armaggedon by 30 years and more (the acting is better, too), and fetishising gadgets in a way that even the most excessive Bond movies could never hope to rival. Unsurprisingly, it transpires that the visual effects are by Derek Meddings, whose later contributions to Bond movies like The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker echo his pioneering model work here. As to the characters, the clean-cut Tracey boys take second place in the audience's affections to their cool machines--the real stars of the show--while comic relief is to be found in the charming company of Lady Penelope and her pink Rolls (number plate FAB1), driven by lugubrious chauffeur Parker, whose "Yes, milady" catchphrase resonated around school playgrounds for decades. (Spare a thought for poor old John Tracey, stuck up in space on Thunderbird 5 with only the radio for company.) The puppet stunt-work is breathtakingly audacious, and every week's death-defying escapade is nail-bitingly choreographed in the very best tradition of disaster movies. First shown in 1964 and now digitally remastered, Thunderbirds is children's TV that still looks and sounds like big-budget Hollywood. On this DVD: The four episodes are: "Vault of Death", "The Mighty Atom", "City of Fire" and "The Imposters". Amazon.com

Fuelled by Flowered Up's epic soundtrack, WIZ's Weekender (1992) was a film ahead of its time, both in form and content. It's an authentic glimpse at club and drug culture, engaging with contemporary issues that mainstream media were eager to sensationalise. Consequently, it was branded with an 18 certificate and banned by both the BBC and ITV, never reaching a wider audience.Ever since, Weekender has bubbled just below the surface, gaining genuine cult status and influencing a vast network of creators. Recently fully restored from the original negative and now released on BFI Blu-Ray, this first tangible document of the British rave scene is coupled with I Am Weekender - a brand new feature-length documentary about the making of the film and its enduring impact. Directed by Chloé Raunet, it features contributions from Irvine Welsh, Jeremy Deller, Shaun Ryder, RóisÃn Murphy, Lynne Ramsey, Heavenly's Jeff Barrett and many more, offering a unique insight into the heart of acid house.Product FeaturesPresented in High DefinitionWeekender (1992, 19 mins): following the band Flowered Up, Weekender explores the hedonistic side of club and drug culture in the UKTake It (5 mins): an original promotional video for Flowered Up directed by WIZPhobia (4 mins): promotional video for Flowered Up directed by Paul CannellIt's On (5 mins): an original promotional video for Flowered UpRaise (3 mins): an original Bocca Juniors promotional video featuring Anna Haigh and directed by WIZNish (3 mins): a short film by WIZ featuring previously unseen Super 8 footage filmed at a Boys Own party in 1989Limited edition of 2,000 copies (includes slipcase)**FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet featuring new writing by journalist Miranda Sawyer, director WIZ and Des Penney, band manager and lyric writer for WeekenderOther extras TBC
