• On Golden Pond / Sophie's Choice | DVD | (17/03/2003) from £4.99   |  Saving you £8.00 (160.32%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The sunny streets of Brooklyn, just after World War II. A young would-be writer named Stingo (Peter MacNicol) shares a boarding house with beautiful Polish immigrant Sophie (Meryl Streep) and her tempestuous lover, Nathan (Kevin Kline); their friendship changes his life. This adaptation of the bestselling novel by William Styron is faithful to the point of being reverential, which is not always the right way to make a film come to life. But director Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men) provides a steady, intelligent path into the harrowing story of Sophie, whose flashback memories of the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp form the backbone of the movie. Streep's exceptional performance--flawless Polish accent and all--won her an Oscar, and effectively raised the standard for American actresses of her generation. No less impressive is Kevin Kline, in his movie debut, capturing the mercurial moods of the dangerously attractive Nathan. The two worlds of Sophie's Choice, nostalgic Brooklyn and monstrous Europe, are beautifully captured by the gifted cinematographer Néstor Almendros, whose work was Oscar-nominated but didn't win. It should have. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com

• Children Of Dune | DVD | (25/08/2008) from £22.94   |  Saving you £-2.95 (-14.80%)   |  RRP £19.99

  It's been twelve years since Paul Maud'dib Atreides's (Alec Newman Frank Herbert's Dune) desert-dwelling Freman Jihad spread out across the universe to exterminate all that remained of the Old Imperial armies-twelve years of war as all the known planets were colonized one-by-one under Maud'dib's rule. Out of this chaos the House Atreides has emerged as a superpower of Dune-the arid planet Arrakis. But its imperial government is not omnipotent. Its greatest enemy the fallen Baron Harkonnen (Ian McNeice A Christmas Carol) still strives to regain control of Dune its mysterious life force and everything it represents to the galactic order. A far more insidious threat is poised and ready to strike within the treacherous House Atreides. As Maud'dib's secret enemies grow in number his only chance to protect the family's supreme reign is in his new twins born of his concubine Chani (Barbara Kodetova Dune). Soon the hope for Dune will be in the hands of his young son Leto heir to a power unimaginable. It will be Leto's responsibility to demystify the legacy of his father raze the old regime and restore peace to the Empire. But the ultimate battle has yet to be waged and the children of Atreides-the children of Dune-will find themselves trapped in an unpredictable future of their family's own making.

• The Larry Sanders Show | DVD | (19/06/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  In The Larry Sanders Show Garry Shandling is Larry Sanders, host of a fictitious chat show. But the real The Larry Sanders Show (1992-98), was alongside Sienfeld, one of the great cult successes of 1990's American TV. Nominally a sitcom, the naturalistic acting, uncensored strong language and absence of canned laughter lend the show a distinctive pseudo-documentary feel, as every week some of the top names in US entertainment appear as themselves. The viewer can't help but wonder just how much these celebrities are for real, and how much they are having us on when, for example, Billy Crystal seems so mercenary about using the episode "The Talk Show" to plug his movie, Mr Saturday Night. Other guests on the seven episodes of this DVD include Dana Carvey ("The Guest Host"), Alex Baldwin ("The List"), Robin Williams ("Montana"), Henry Winkler ("Hank's Sex Tape"), Courtney Cox ("Larry's Big Idea") and Brett Butler ("I Was a Teenage Lesbian"--a bonus episode exclusive to DVD). Clever and caustic, rather than laugh-out-loud funny, this release offers good value at 167 minutes, though the only DVD extra is a trailer. The picture on the first five episodes is soft and grainy. That matters improve considerably for the last two episodes suggests this is because of poor original tapes rather than a bad transfer. --Gary S. Dalkin

• Waterloo Road Series Seven - Summer Term | DVD | (10/09/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £25.99

  Head Teacher Michael Byrne is recovering from the hit-and-run that he cannot remember - but when the guilty party surfaces, he finds himself one teacher short. A 'teach-off' between two very different teachers results in an unexpected new Head of English, a woman who will face some particularly rough lessons of her own. Gang culture has invaded Waterloo Road, with Kyle's Dale Sken Crew joined by an uncertain Tariq, going head-to-head with the Murray Set Boyz joined by a lost and confused Finn. Yet the school with heart finds matters of the heart a constant source of upheaval as Grantly loses his wife to Alzheimers but finds that life may hold other opportunities; Janeece meets the man of her dreams in a whirlwind romance that will change her life; and even young Scout finds herself caught up in a love affair that may be more – or less - than it seems. With all this love in the air, it’s sad to see that the local education department has fallen very out of love with Waterloo Road, which teeters on the brink of closure. But with prom night coming, and Kyle on the loose with a crossbow, there may have to be more than one guardian angel at work to save a life, and save the day.

• The Sting/Torn Curtain | DVD | (26/12/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The Sting (Dir. George Roy Hill 1973): All it takes is a little Confidence.

The Sting is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed films of all time.
