Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is an easygoing homicide detective with a loving family a big house and a pension he doesn't want to lose. Imagine Murtaugh's shock when he learns his partner is a guy with nothing left to lose; wild-eyed burnt-out Martin Riggs.

Director Richard Donner moves that war at two speeds: fast and faster. Hot LA days and nights explode in one show-topping scene after an other culminating in a no-holds-barred battle between Riggs and his Angel-of-Death nemesis (Gary Busey) - an electrifying sequence incorporating three martial-art-styles and requiring four full nights to film.

• George Shearing - the Swing Era | DVD | (03/03/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £8.99

  The leader of one of the most popular combos in jazz during the Fifties and early Sixties the blind George Shearing (b.1919) was reputed for his mastery at the piano an instrument he played in a sophisticated style he termed 'locked hands'. Shearing was also known for the unique sound of his quintet which featured an unusual lineup with the vibraphone and guitar tripling the melody. Shearing's very special sound proved fruitful during his heyday when he was one of the best-selling jazzmen around. A notable composer the blind pianist wrote numbers which have become classics: 'Lullaby of Birdland' 'Conception' 'Consternation' ... Among Shearing's other contributions is his pioneering interest in small-group Afro-Cuban sounds during the Fifties a period when he employed Latin-oriented sidemen such as Mongo Santamaria Willie Bobo or Cal Tjader. A much-respected artist he has performed alongside jazz greats such as Oscar Pettiford Peggy Lee Wes Montgomery Mel Torme or Jim Hall.GEORGE SHEARINGMoveI'll Be AroundconceptionI'll Never Smile AgainSwedish PastryMEL TORMEBlue RoomApril ShowersYou're Driving Me CrazyYou Ought To Be In PicturesSLAM STEWART TRIO:Oh Me Oh My Oh JoshSLIM GAILLARD:O'Ronney's OvertureDynamith O'RooneySpanish Melody And SwingChile And Beans O'VouteeDunkin' BagelLagunaTHE BOB CATS:Muskrat RambleBig Noise From WinnetkaMarch of the BobcatsSavoy BluesWho's Sorry NowComplainin'Love's Got Me In A Lazy MoodPanama BluesRALPH FLANAGAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA:Stars and Stripes ForeverJoshuaGiannina MiaDixie JumpTONY PASTOR AND HIS ORCHESTRAYour Red WagonMargieCome On-A My HouseLife Is So PeculiarBrother BillOh Marie

• Braveheart | Blu Ray | (07/05/2013) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-14.21 (-111.30%)   |  RRP £12.77

  A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous scope to this story that it works on a smaller, more personal scale as well, essaying love and loss, patriotism and passion. Extremely moving, it reveals Gibson as a multitalented performer and remarkable director with an eye for detail and an understanding of human emotion. (His first directorial effort was 1993's Man Without a Face.) The film is nearly three hours long and includes several plot tangents, yet is never dull. This movie resonates long after you have seen it, both for its visual beauty and for its powerful story. --Rochelle O'Gorman
