In a country where pupils will attend school from dawn 'til nightfall there's no surprise it breeds disturbing levels of competitiveness or jealousies. Whispering Corridors (Dir. Ki-hyeong Park) (1998): A past pupil returns to school as a teacher. Befriending two very different students she triggers a series of increasingly disturbing events. A teacher is found dead and more deaths follow. Events of the past start to influence those of the present. Memento Mori: (Dir. Tae-Yong Kim and Kyu-Dong Min) (1999) When Min-Ah discovers a secret shared diary written by two students at an all-girls' school she finds it a compelling read. She becomes obsessed with the accounts of a secret romance between the two girls but when one of the students is found dead a new terror seeps through the school. Was it suicide or something more sinister? And what is the true meaning of the words written in the diary memento mori (remember the dead). Wishing Stairs (Dir. Jae-yeon Yun) (2003): There's a legend which claims that if you count aloud 28 steps to the school dormitory a 29th stair appears and a spirit will grant you a wish. Jin-sung hopes to win a vital scholarship to ballet school but when a rival wins it's time to seek out the spirit. But be careful what you wish for... The Voice (Dir. Ik-hwan Choe) (2005): Schoolgirl Young-eon is killed apparently by a mysterious voice that no-one else can hear. Her best friend Sun-min soon starts to hear her ghostly voice imploring her to investigate what it was that killed her. But soon others are starting to hear Young-eon's voice and things start getting out of hand...
Pret A Porter | DVD | (01/10/1999)
from £29.99
| Saving you £-14.00 (N/A%)
| RRP Robert Altman's much-anticipated broadside at the world of fashion, Pret A Porter is a disappointment. The film's crazy-quilt Nashville-like narrative structure and ensemble casting (Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Lauren Bacall, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren) are a thing to behold, but the story's many interlocking pieces lack overall depth and resonating emotion. There is a grand, satiric statement about fashion and society at the end of the film, and there are hints of an aging, nostalgic filmmaker's scepticism about our post-modern world of short-lived attachments and meanings. But watching this film is a long, long uphill climb, with a lot of thin air to endure before arriving at a destination. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Bhaji On The Beach | DVD | (16/06/2003)
from £8.47
| Saving you £1.52 (17.95%)
| RRP Bhaji on the Beach is the directorial debut of Gurinda Chadha, which--like her next film, What's Cooking--features women as the central characters and seems to involve food at every turn. It's an ensemble piece, which takes a while to establish the characters' relationships with each other. But eventually the focus of the film--based on a story by Meera Syal--gets distilled to a group of women taken on a day trip to Blackpool by a progressive thinking "sister". The skies are suitably grey as they arrive in the English resort town, with the amusement arcades, takeaways and shop fronts looking tacky and run down. There's Ginder (Kim Vithana), who has run away from her violent husband, Hashida (Sarita Khajuria), who has a major decision to make and conservative aunties Asha (Lalita Ahmed) and Pushpa (Zohra Sehgal), not to mention youngsters Ladhu (Nisha K Nayar) and Madhu (Renu Kochar) who are just along for the excitement. As the day wears on, tension mounts between the different generations as secrets come out into the open. It matters little that the plot feels a touch contrived--particularly the convergence of significant characters towards the end--as there's a lot of energy in the performances. The result is a bit rough around the edges, but there's a lot to amuse here, not least in the colourful nod to Bollywood contained in Asha's many dream sequences. --Emma Perry

Hitman | DVD | (21/08/2000)
from £6.24
| Saving you £13.75 (220.35%)
| RRP Eric the would-be assassin is such a nice, caring fellow that Hitman has an immediate credibility problem: how could Eric (oriental superstar Jet Li in his follow-up to Lethal Weapon 4) ever believe he could be a cold-blooded murderer? The script tries to get around this by emphasising his poverty, and once he meets conman Norman (Hong Kong comedy star Eric Tsang), the film manages to blend amiable humour with amoral characters and polished action into an entertaining whole. A yakusa crime lord has been murdered by the Angel of Death, a professional hitman who only kills those he believes deserve to die. Getting well out of their depth in the hunt for the assassin, Li and Tsang make an appealing double act, while Gigi Leung is charming as Norman's lawyer daughter. With a moderately involved plot and an emphasis on character, action is limited to five well-staged set-pieces which are stylishly conceived, exciting and don't outstay their welcome. The finale even has a joke at the expense of Die Hard's running across broken glass, while the ending sets up the inevitable sequel. A long way from Li's magnificent Once Upon A Time in China (1991), Hitman is efficient, highly watchable Hong Kong entertainment.On the DVD: The 1.77:1 anamorphically enhanced picture is generally very good, though sometimes slightly grainy. The sound is Dolby Prologic, and far better than many other Hong Kong releases. Even so, the end title notes the film was shown theatrically in Dolby Digital, raising the question as to why the DVD does not also use this system. The film is presented in Cantonese with subtitles, or dubbed in English. Included is a 10-minute interview with Jet Li and a seven-minute interview with Simon Yam (who plays a detective), neither of which are specifically about Hitman. However, a 13-minute interview presented anamorphically enhanced with Keiji Sato (who plays the murdered yakusa's grandson) is specific to the film and ranks as the best extra. A text biography of Jet Li covers many pages and provides an excellent introduction to his career. The "music promo" is Hong Kong Legends' own trailer for Hitman, and is complemented by trailers for five other releases. --Gary S Dalkin
