• Horror of the Blood Monsters | DVD | (14/07/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  In the late 1960s and early 70s, a bizarre alliance between the Filippino movie company Hemisphere and the American exploitation outfit Independent International yielded a series of weirdly interconnected horror movies, most of which work the word Blood into the title. The Filippino items are strangely fascinating vampire and mad scientist pictures with oddball colour effects and a mix of naive serial-style thrills and extreme-for-the-era sex and gore; the American efforts, from director Al Adamson, are shoddier, thrown together from offcuts of previous pictures, and are lead-paced but nevertheless curiously appealing. Gaze in awe at mutant killer trees, slobbering hunchbacked servants, faded matinee idols, stripper-turned-actress heroines with concrete blonde hairdos, evil dwarves, John Carradine or Lon Chaney, footage cut in from completely different films, Dracula and Frankenstein meeting hippies and bikers, red filters when the vampires attack, chanting natives! Plus lots of exclamation marks! Plus lurid trailers! In Horror of the Blood Monsters vampires are overrunning Earth (cheaply), so John Carradine leads a space mission (rocket footage from another film) to the planet the bloodsuckers come from, and the astronauts vaguely interact with tinted black and white footage from a Filippino prehistoric epic. It makes no sense whatsoever. --Kim Newman

• Catchfire | DVD | (18/06/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Previous UK releases of Catchfire have listed the pseudonymous Allan Smithee as director, but this version proudly opens with "a Dennis Hopper film". Also known as Backtrack, it offers a plot that advances by illogical leaps and bounds while whole scenes seem to go astray. With prominently billed actors getting almost nothing to do while major players go un-credited, a bland music score that might have been laid in from another film entirely and an ending that makes a lot of noise without actually resolving much, the film certainly has its bad points. However, it's also one of Hopper's more eccentric films, and more fun than Colors or The Hot Spot (which he had no trouble owning up to), partly because the director also takes a quirky lead role and his own personal interests are stirred by the modern art frills of the chase plot. The film opens with LA-based conceptual artist Jodie Foster, looking chunkily terrific just before her adult career took off, suffering a minor breakdown on the freeway and happening on a gangland execution. Pint-sized mob boss Joe Pesci sets his killers on her but the crooks ineptly murder Foster's boyfriend (Charlie Sheen, taking a very early bath). Pesci calls in Hopper, a professional hitman who immerses himself in Foster's life and art in order to track her down only to develop an obsessive crush on the woman. When he finds her, he gives her the choice between getting rubbed out or becoming his property. Hopper retains the knack for finding odd-looking byways of rural America, but is uncomfortable with helicopter chases and shoot-outs. The leads, despite great chunks of missing story, are both interesting--Foster sexily vulnerable and Hopper doing a wry New York drawl as the sax-playing hit man. Catchfire also offers an amazing supporting cast of the director's friends, including Dean Stockwell, Vincent Price, Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), Tony Sirico (The Sopranos), Bob Dylan (with a chainsaw), Helena Kallianotes (Five Easy Pieces), Julia Adams (The Creature from the Black Lagoon), and John Turturro.On the DVD: the film itself comes in a good-looking widescreen transfer, but the lack of special features let the disc down, with only feeble notes for three cast members (and no Smithee filmography). --Kim Newman

• John Adams - A Portrait And Concert Of American Music | DVD | (18/10/2002) from £14.09   |  Saving you £5.90 (29.50%)   |  RRP £19.99

  In a format that ought to be widely emulated, this Composers of Our Time feature comprises a portrait of American composer John Adams, followed by a concert that places his music in a suitable context. Adams has come a long way from the Harvard graduate who travelled to San Francisco in the early 1970s, taking a number of menial jobs while he discovered his own idiom. Those years are vividly recalled by the composer, and the seven-part documentary also features extracts from three of his stageworks, all of which are controversial but relevant in their choice of topics and handling of issues. David Jeffcock's direction makes the most of some stunning West Coast scenery, and the only real drawback here is the plodding, clichéd narration. The concert portion was filmed live at the Chatelet in Paris, and features the Ensemble Intercontemporain and Jonathan Nott, currently their Music Director and a conductor with a future. André Trouttet is the scintillating soloist in Adams' stylish if vacuous clarinet concerto Gnarly Buttons, while the musically more substantial Chamber Symphony is given virtuoso treatment, as are Steve Reich's classic Eight Lines and arrangements of two Player Piano Studies by Conlon Nancarrow. On the DVD: Composers of Our Time: John Adams comes with options of PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.0 or DTS 5.0, while the 16:9 picture format captures Bob Coles' perceptive direction in full. Subtitles are in English, French, German and Spanish, and there are three related Arthaus trailers. It all adds up to a stimulating and informative package. --Richard Whitehouse
