• Shrek - Special Edition | DVD | (16/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Full of verve and wit Shrek is a computer-animated adaptation of William Steig's delightfully fractured fairy tale. Our title character (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. When the diminutive Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy tale creatures (including the now-famous Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio and the Gingerbread Man), they settle in the ogre's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal, a talking donkey (Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess (Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence. The story is stronger than most animated fare but it's the jokes that make Shrek a winner. The PG rating is stretched when Murphy and Myers hit their strides. The mild potty humour is fun enough for the 10-year-old but will never embarrass their parents. Shrek is never as warm and inspired as the Toy Story films, but the realistic computer animation and a rollicking soundtrack keeps the entertainment in fine form. Produced by DreamWorks, the film also takes several delicious stabs at its cross-town rival, Disney. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com On the DVD: DVD could have been invented to showcase Shrek's stunning computer animation--admirably served here by 16:9 anamorphic widescreen presentation--while the exuberant soundtrack comes alive in 5.1 Dolby Digital. There are plenty of extras to choose from on this DVD, from The Tech of Shrek and fake Character Interviews to the amusing Swamp Karaoke Dance Party featuring the whole cast. However, none of these features have much depth, nor do they last long and it would be easy to feel slightly disappointed--were it not for the excellent Shrek's ReVoice Studio. This first-of-its-kind feature requires a computer running Microsoft Windows 98SE or higher, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, an Internet connection and a DVD-ROM drive. However, once the DVD-ROM is up and running, the instructions could not be clearer and within minutes the whole family will be dubbing their voices over favourite characters and scenes--rendering the other extras almost irrelevant.--Helen Baker

• Prime Suspect 2 | DVD | (12/05/2003) from £9.70   |  Saving you £0.29 (2.90%)   |  RRP £9.99

  In the first Prime Suspect, Helen Mirren's ballsy woman Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennyson battled the boys club and their sexist barbs to prove herself in a chauvinist department. In Prime Suspect 2, she's assigned to head a racially charged murder investigation in a largely African/Caribbean neighbourhood. It's politics as usual in the image-conscious organization, so the superintendent adds to the team black Detective Robert Oswalde (Colin Salma), a sharp but hot-headed investigator who has just broken off an affair with Tennyson. Now Tennyson grapples with her own conflicted feelings while fighting political and public-relations battles both in the media and within the police system itself in the midst of investigating the labyrinthine case. Between the scant clues left to sift, a prime suspect on the verge of death himself and divisions in her own team that result in a devastating death, Tennyson soon begins to suspect she's been hung out to dry by the department. Screenwriter Allan Cubitt dives into the murky waters of volatile racial and social relations to create an even more complex and compelling mystery in Tennyson's second appearance and Mirren rises to the challenge to explore the contradictions of an uncompromising cop in a compromising position. --Sean Axmaker

  They were rich and famous loved and respected. And they decided to risk it all for a cause. In 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono embarked on a mission for peace that captured the front pages of newspapers and engaged the collective imagination of the world. Available from 23 September Direct Video Distribution is proud to give peace another chance with the DVD release of `John & Yoko: Year Of Peace' a fascinating chronicle of an extraordinary year. In May of 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono were the world's most notorious couple. Married in Gibraltar three months earlier their honeymoon took a strange and memorable turn. They kept themselves on the front pages of newspapers by kicking off a vocal and visible campaign for world peace. The campaign was wide-eyed and innocent based on a simple self-evident truth: there would be no war if everyone just said no. For seven consecutive days from a bed in Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel the Beatle known as ""The Dangerous One"" called for unity. ""Because we haven't got peace in the seven days doesn't make it a waste of time you know"" Lennon said. ""I believe sincerely as soon as people want peace and they're aware that they can have it they will have it."" Eventually the couple did get out of bed and embarked on a year-long peace campaign which eventually resulted in a meeting of the minds with people such as the respected Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. But John and Yoko's campaign never stopped. There were many rallies protests and manifestos still to come... Compiled from footage recently found in the basement of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation `John & Yoko: Year Of Peace' begins with scenes from the Montreal bed-in and follows Lennon and Ono through the year the period in which the classic 'Give Peace A Chance' was recorded. Directed by journalist Paul McGrath the film captures many of the candid talks from the Montreal stunt including Lennon's interaction with such politically oriented figures as Timothy Leary civil rights activist Dick Gregory and right-wing cartoonist Al Capp. It also features present-day interviews with the often-reserved Yoko Ono; filmmaker Patrick Watson; Allan Rock then a college student now a cabinet minister; Ritchie Yorke Canada's leading rock reporter; concert promoter John Brower and singer Ronnie Hawkins all of whom share their personal recollections of that time. Included among the archival footage featured is the Canadian bed-in; a Montreal radio station broadcasting live from their room and a teenage reporter being allowed access to the former Beatle. McGrath producer Alan Lysaght and their team have seamlessly fused together these various elements to produce an intimate and insightful account of one of the most private public couples in popular culture.
