• Unfaithful | Blu Ray | (26/08/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Although the premise of infidelity and its devastating consequences on all involved may not be a new one, Unfaithful still manages to emerge as a stylish, involving thriller. Based on an obscure 1970s French offering, director Adrian Lynne's version is pure Hollywood, from its casting of Richard Gere and Diane Lane in the lead roles, to its graceful visual style and even its somewhat unsatisfactory denouement. It's impossible not to watch the film without thinking of Lynne's own Fatal Attraction, although here the gender roles have been reversed to focus on the affair between bored suburban housewife Connie and exotic French book dealer Paul. The obsessive relationship between the two provides the film with its only real frisson. Gere is given very little to work with as the dull cuckolded husband Edward and delivers even less. The film moves rather slowly towards its key plot twist which never really lives up to its promise. On the DVD: Unfaithful may be lacking a little as a film, but this DVD is an impressive package. The film has a rich visual element and the digital picture quality brings out the best in Adrian Lynne's unique eye for detail. The reams of extras include commentaries from director Lynne and the cast, a well put together documentary, interviews, features, deleted scenes and a (superior) alternative ending. Lynne is always good interview value, coming across as a slightly less eccentric Ken Russell, and Lane and Olivier Martinez are both engaging and charismatic. A shame, then, that the movie itself isn't quite so impressive. --Phil Udell

Their destination is a remote and idyllic coastal town that feels just like paradise. But their nights of hedonistic abandon comes to a nightmarish end when an earthquake strikes.

• Limbo | DVD | (10/07/2000) from £6.90   |  Saving you £13.09 (189.71%)   |  RRP £19.99

  There are three unforgettable characters in John Sayles's contemporary adventure-drama set in Alaska. They are never seen but live only in a frontier diary found by teenager Noelle De Angelo (Vanessa Martinez). The life of the diary's narrator is much like everything in this movie: hanging in limbo. The first half of the film focuses on why men and woman turn to Alaska, a land still ripe with opportunity. A small town is at a crossroads, with its pulp mill and canning factory closed and new investors seeing different directions in which to take the area (one even boasts the state is the ultimate theme park). A local (Sayles regular David Strathairn) is just escaping his past, taking up commercial fishing again. He attracts a travelling nightclub singer (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in her best role in years) who struggles daily with her daughter Noelle. Like any good theme park, Limbo presents the threesome with an unexpected adventure. In the wilderness, the three relative strangers learn more about themselves than was ever possible in town. Sayles's usual craftsmanship creates a singular blend of drama and suspense with an ending designed to ruffle feathers. Not as accessible as his breakthrough hit Lone Star, Limbo is nevertheless a hearty film from one of America's best storytellers. --Doug Thomas

• Lovers Of The Arctic Circle | DVD | (05/02/2007) from £7.99   |  Saving you £10.00 (125.16%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Destiny cannot be denied. Lovers of the Arctic Circle is a love story about Otto and Ana stretching from when they were just two kids to the abyss of Finland's arctic circle. The story goes full circle around a fleeting moment: the reflection of Otto's face in Ana's eyes. Renowned for his stunning films The Red Squirrel and Tierra Juilo Medem is a master of the unexpected. In Lovers Of The Arctic Circle Medem has fashioned a truly unique and unusual story of love and destiny told in the alternating voices of the two protagonists; Ana & Otto. The paths of the two lovers first cross at the age of eight when each is running away for different reasons. From that day on destiny chance and coincidence conspire to keep them both together and apart but never out of love. As Otto and Ana discover their feelings for each other they think they have reasons to justify their love but as they get closer they realize that a cyclical dream of chance near-misses and coincidence has brought them together. And their aim? To live together in a part of the world that defies justification and explanation a part of the world where the burning midnight sun makes every day seem endless... on the very edge of the arctic circle. Startling quirky and deeply romantic Lovers Of The Arctic Circle is Medem's most inventive work to date.

• Like Water For Chocolate | Blu Ray | (02/03/2015) from £17.98   |  Saving you £4.00 (25.02%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes Babette's Feast and Big Night. Director Alfonso Arau (A Walk in the Clouds), adapting a novel by his former wife, Laura Esquivel, tells the story of a young woman (Lumi Cavazos) who learns to suppress her passions under the eye of a stern mother, but channels them into her cooking. The result is a steady stream of cuisine so delicious as to be an almost erotic experience for those lucky enough to have a bite. The film's quotient of magic realism feels a little stock, but the story line is good and Arau's affinity for the sensuality of food (and of nature) is sublime. You might want to rush off to a good Mexican restaurant afterward, but that's a good thing. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
