• The Gate | DVD | (05/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  In 1987 The Gate was at the forefront of what came and went as a purely 80s genre: Kiddie Horror. Just like The Lost Boys or The Monster Squad of the same year, the idea was to let a couple of younger-than-teenage kids loose in a well-worn horror scenario and play it for as many laughs as scares. Its 15 certificate (PG-13 in the States) meant The Gate had an enormous opening weekend, and a considerable shelf life. The kids in question here are a very young Stephen (Blade) Dorff as Glen and his best friend Terry. After some tree felling in Glen's seemingly miles-square back yard they discover a hole full of precious rock. This is of course the Gate to a demonic dimension. As things start levitating, Glen's dog dies and moths get into the most awkward of places, it becomes obvious that the Gate is open! A teenage sister does little to help early on, but naturally the story develops into one about banding together under extreme circumstances. The make-up and stop-motion animation effects remain impressive in scope and there are a couple of frights still just on the right side of cliché. Since it was so successful, the writer and director went on to make an inferior sequel some years later. On the DVD: Viewers should note this is a very murky transfer that's in an unspecified widescreen ratio. There's also an unspectacular (equally unspecified) sound mix. But a gallery of 10 photos and the theatrical trailer makes up for that, right? --Paul Tonks

• Chaplin | DVD | (20/05/2002) from £10.92   |  Saving you £2.07 (18.96%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Chaplin, Sir Richard Attenborough's biographical film of the life and times of the famous comic, is a little thin as a narrative, but it is so charmingly creative and ultimately moving that it's hard to worry about the deficits. Robert Downey Jr does an excellent job re-creating Chaplin's graceful slapstick and getting inside the silent-film superstar's head over the years of triumph, defeat, scandal, official persecution, exile and inner peace. A huge cast portray the allies, friends, lovers and enemies in Chaplin's life, including Moira Kelly as his final, long-time wife Oona, Kevin Kline as Douglas Fairbanks, Geraldine Chaplin as Charlie's mother and James Woods as a prosecutor working hard to nail Chaplin for anti-American sentiments. Attenborough declines to tell the story in a flat, linear way, employing such clever techniques as detailing one chapter in Chaplin's life as a silent comedy. The climactic scene set at an Oscar tribute for Chaplin will get the tears flowing. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• R. Kelly - Trapped In The Closet - Chapters 1 - 22 | DVD | (16/02/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Essentially an R&B soap opera complete with the sets lighting convoluted plotlines and scandalous secrets of daytime TV Trapped In The Closet features its star and a cast of characters very literally acting out the actions the song describes. The plot involves numerous infidelities a homosexual affair a gun and as this is an R. Kelly piece of work at least one steamy sex scene. The attention to detail is astounding hilarious and typical of Kelly as he describes everything from the fear he experiences while hiding from his lover's husband to the leg cramp he gets while having sex with his wife. Kelly's smooth vocals give voice to everything even as the different characters mouth the lyrics. Though the project recalls the cheating themes of old blues songs evokes the look of daytime drama and contains the controlled raunchiness of vintage Kelly it's safe to say that Trapped In The Closet represents a new direction in R&B and is like nothing else audiences have ever seen before. This audacious collection presents the first 22 episodes of the ""Hip-Hopera.""
