• Keys To Tulsa | DVD | (28/07/2003) from £8.94   |  Saving you £-2.95 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

What emerges is a dramatic and potentially deadly journey through his past present and future.

• Roger and Me | DVD | (15/03/2004) from £14.38   |  Saving you £-0.39 (-2.80%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Made in 1989, Roger and Me is a loose, smart-alecky documentary directed and narrated by Michael Moore. Here for the first time, the man who won unexpected Oscar glory with Bowling for Columbine exposed audiences to his devastating wit and a working-class pose. When his hometown is devastated by the plant closure of an American corporate giant (making record profits, one should note), the hell-raising political commentator with a prankster streak tries to turn his camera on General Motors Chairman Roger B Smith, the elusive Roger of the title, and the film is loosely structured around Moore's odyssey to track down the bigwig for an interview. While Moore ambushes his corporate subjects like a blue-collar Geraldo Rivera, a guerrilla interviewer who treasures his comic rebuffs as much as his interviews, his portraits of the colourful characters he meets along the way can be patronising. The famous come off as absurdly out of touch (Anita Bryant appears for some can-do cheerleading, and hometown celebrity Bob Eubanks tells some boorish jokes), and the disenfranchised poor (notably an unemployed woman who sells rabbit meat to make ends meet) all too often appear as buffoons or hicks. But behind his loose play with the facts and snarky attitude is a devastating look at the victims of downsizing in the midst of the 1980s economic boom. This portrait of Reagan's America and the tarnish on the American dream comes down to a simple question: what is corporate America's responsibility to the country's citizens? That's a question no-one at GM wants to answer. --Sean Axmaker

• Peter Grimes | DVD | (15/09/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Anthony Dean Griffey and Patricia Racette excel in John Doyle's new production of Britten's most celebrated opera Peter Grimes - filmed live at the Metropolitan Opera in Hi-Definition. This new MET production by award-winning director John Doyle (2006 Tony Award'' Best Direction of a Musical - Sweeney Todd) of Britten's haunting seaside tale continues EMI Classics' recent collaboration with the 'Metropolitan Opera : Live in High-Definition series'. Peter Grimes Britten's second opera is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of postwar opera and its premiere 63 years ago marked a turning point in the history of British Opera. It is now considered a masterwork of 20th Century opera and since its premiere it became the first opera by an English composer to enter and remain in the international repertory. The work is based on a poem by the turn-of-the-19th-century writer George Crabbe entitled The Borough and is set in an isolated English fishing village in the 1830s. Much of the emotional drive of the opera comes from the six 'Sea Interludes' - calm storm at dawn and by moonlight. These are among the most brilliantly evocative music that Britten ever wrote and which help to establish the constant overpowering presence of the sea as the opera's dominant force. Anthony Dean Griffey as Grimes is superb (San Francisco Chronicle). Patricia Racette as Ellen Orford the schoolmistress who tries and fails to rescue Grimes from his anger and self-pity is near faultless (New York Sun). Donald Runnicles music director of the San Francisco Opera drew an inspired performance from the Met Orchestra full of passion and commitment yet free of bombast. Without slackening the dramatic tension he found ways of drawing out both the music's austere lyricism and its violent extremes. - Boston Globe

• The Big One | DVD | (19/04/2004) from £5.99   |  Saving you £7.00 (116.86%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A brazen mixture of stand-up comedy, political commentary, CEO confrontations, and shenanigans with Random House tour escorts, Michael Moore's The Big One follows his Midwest book tour to promote Downsize This. One of his Milwaukee tour escorts explains that medium-sized cities in the Midwest tend not to attract tours by the self-important celebrities of the coasts; instead, they attract "more thoughtful authors like Michael". His kind of thoughtfulness evokes both laughter at, and disgust with, corporate America. To be sure, there is a certain naiveté in Moore's pro-worker take on corporate and political America--his half-serious plan for a Nike shoe factory in Flint, Michigan, makes as much business sense as coal mining on Maui--but he gives voice to well-reasoned arguments that would otherwise have been lost amid Clinton-era corporate downsizing and reliance on "temporary" employees. In cities such as Des Moines, Minneapolis, St Louis and Portland, The Big One juxtaposes both Moore's lighthearted-sounding but deeply biting humour when speaking before bookstore patrons, and painful-to-watch confrontations with security personnel at companies such as Procter & Gamble and PayDay. (Future targets of Moore's style of journalism could take note of Nike CEO Phil Knight's fairly effective approach as Moore calls him to task on Nike's Indonesian labour.) Moore speaks clandestinely with Borders employees organising a union; a woman laid off from Ford attends Moore's Rockford, Illinois bookstore visit the same day. Though slow in spots and frustrating, if not depressing, in others, this follow up to Roger and Me is intensely funny most of the time. --Erik Macki
