• My Favourite Broadway - Love Songs | DVD | (23/04/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  My Favourite Broadway--The Love Songs, the follow-up to 1998's My Favourite Broadway--The Leading Ladies, allows the gentlemen in, but that's not always an advantage. Sure, Michael Crawford developed a great following as the Phantom and Nathan Lane is a comedian nonpareil, but Tom Wopat, Brent Spiner, Peter Gallagher, Adam Pascal, and Ron Raines, while all fine performers with good career histories, simply can't match the marquee power of the original's Liza Minnelli, Audra McDonald, Jennifer Holliday, Nell Carter, and many others. And even when old-timers appear, Robert Goulet seems closer to Las Vegas than Lancelot, and Barry Manilow (mostly making his name as a composer these days) looks pretty awkward. That said, this is still an enjoyable live show from New York's City Centre. Among the ladies returning, Rebecca Luker and Marin Mazzie shine in songs from the revivals they star in, and super diva Linda Eder raises the roof with a three-song medley. And there are other additions to the roster, one legend, Chita Rivera (reprising her "English Teacher" from Bye Bye Birdie), and one up-and-comer, Heather Headley (sharing her "Elaborate Lives" duet with Aida co-star Pascal). But the first 100 minutes is all prologue, anyway. The real star is the host, Julie Andrews, who also hosted the original show and conspicuously did not sing in it, following her infamous, lawsuit-laden vocal-chord surgery that effectively ended her music career. Throughout the evening she teases the audience, reciting lyrics and making references to My Fair Lady. So when Crawford begins the finale "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" and Andrews enters, the audience holds its breath: Will she or won't she? It's an electric moment, and perfect theatre. --David Horiuchi, Amazon.com

• Manufacturing Dissent - Uncovering Michael Moore | DVD | (22/10/2007) from £8.76   |  Saving you £10.22 (177.12%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Michael Moore is the world's most successful and influential documentary filmmaker. He has produced a series of satirical documentaries beginning with Roger & Me which explored how General Motors' plant closings and layoffs devastated his hometown of Flint Michigan. He followed this with Bowling for Columbine which mocked America's gun culture and brought Moore to the world's attention. His last film Fahrenheit 9/11 was his most controversial to date and charted President Bush's skewed handling of the war on terrorism. Scheduled for release later this year in October is Sicko which takes aim at America's health care system. Manufacturing Dissent is a documentary that seeks to separate fact fiction and legend. Two Canadian filmmakers track Michael Moore on tour during the release of the explosive Fahrenheit 9/11 chronicling the politically supercharged climate in America that has fuelled Moore's transition from filmmaker to icon of the political left. The film raises interesting questions about Moore's research filmmaking and his presentation of the truth. The DVD contains previously unseen material and includes a section on ""TV Nation"" Moore's TV show from 1990's.

• Fiend Without A Face | DVD | (30/06/2003) from £28.97   |  Saving you £-18.98 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Few 1950s creature features deliver in the way Fiend Without a Face does. The first hour is all build-up as tension grows between an Air Force research base and a small Canadian town (this is one of those British B films that pretends to be set overseas) as a series of mystery deaths are blamed by the superstitious on weird military experiments. It's not a spoiler to give away the big revelation, since every item of publicity material, including the DVD cover, blows the surprise: the initially invisible culprits turn out to be a killer swarm of disembodied brains with eyes on stalks and inchworm-like spinal cord tails. These creatures have a nasty habit of latching onto victims and sucking out their grey matter. The finale is a siege of a house by the fiends, which swarm en masse making unsettling brain-sucking sounds, and are bloodily done away with by the heroes. Using excellent stop-motion animation, this climax goes beyond silliness and manages to be genuinely nightmarish. The orgy of splattering brains stands proud among the cinema's first attempts at genuine horror-comic glee, setting a precedent for everything from The Evil Dead to Peter Jackson's Braindead. Marshall Thompson is a bland, stolid uniformed hero and most of the rest of the cast struggle with "anadian" accents, but Kynaston Reeves is fun as the decrepit lone researcher whose fault it all is. On the DVD: Fiend Without a Face on disc comes with a montage of scenes from other films in this batch of releases (The Day of the Triffids, The Stars Look Down) that plays automatically when the disc is inserted, but otherwise not even a trailer, much less the commentary track and other material found on the pricey but luxurious US Region 1 Criterion release. The print has nice contrasts but is pretty grainy. --Kim Newman
