• Cult Action Extravaganza | DVD | (21/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The Cult Action Extravaganza three-disc set offers three very different movies that have nothing in common bar residency in Siren's film archive. They are: The Most Dangerous Game (1932), Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953) and Get Christie Love! (1974). The Most Dangerous Game is a classic, one of the first talkies to get pictures moving after five very static years following the birth of sound. The plot finds resourceful hero Joel McCrea and heroine Fay Wray being hunted on the island of the insane Zaroff (Leslie Banks). One of the grandfathers of the summer blockbuster, the film's setup has been reworked many times since, notably in John Woo's Hard Target (1993). By modern standards it's technically primitive, though still gripping stuff, complete with the jungle set built as a test run for King Kong (1933) and graced by Max Steiner's prototype of all Hollywood action scores. Beneath the 12-Mile Reef is another landmark or rather watermark. The third-ever CinemaScope production, this was a prestige release with Technicolor location filming at Key West, Florida of never-before-achieved underwater cinematography and four-channel stereo recording of a superlative Bernard Herrmann score. Even a still-impressive underwater battle with an octopus pre-dates the more famous giant squid of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). The humans aren't bad either, with a young Robert Wagner making a charismatic if ethnically unconvincing Greek lead as sponge fisherman Tony and Terry Moore playing Juliet to his Romeo with real vivacity. Starring Theresa Graves, Get Christie Love! is a tame TV movie imitation of early 1970s female blaxploitation films such Pam Grier's Coffy (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974). Running a standard TVM 73 minutes and with a low budget and content sanitised to US network standards, this is lightweight stuff about an undercover cop determined to smash a drugs ring. Nevertheless the movie was popular enough to spawn a short-lived TV show and is significant for being the first time a black woman took the title role in any American network production. Tarantino completists may be interested, as before he paid homage to Christie Love in the dialogue of Reservoir Dogs (1991). On the DVD: Cult Action Extravaganza presents the films in their original aspect ratio and sound format; The Most Dangerous Game and Get Christie Love! are 4:3, mono. The former is faded b/w with reasonably sturdy sound, though the transfer suffers from compression artefacting. No one would expect great quality from a 1974 TV movie, but Get Christie Love! suffers from both a poor print and a mediocre DVD transfer. Beneath the 12-Mile Reef is presented in the extra wide 2.55:1 of early CinemaScope and though sadly not anamorphic both the seascapes and underwater cinematography are still impressive. The four-channel stereo sound is revelatory, clear, detailed and years ahead of what we have come to expect early 1950s films to sound like. --Gary S Dalkin

• Rock 'n' Roll Is Born | DVD | (18/03/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The birth of rock & roll was no accident - but a vital moment in the music's history occurred by chance. This DVD brings to life that remarkable moment and many others told in vivid detail by people who were there when Bill Haley and His Comets' ""Rock Around The Clock"" helped to ignite a cultural revolution. The storytellers include two of the original Comets who played on the record: Marshall Lytle and in the last interview before his death Johnny Grande. Their history is illuminated by rare archive footage including 8mm film shot by Ralph Jones the Comets' drummer from 1955-1960. There are also performances of ""Crazy Man Crazy"" and ""Shake Rattle and Roll"" by the original Comets taken from the little-seen 1954 rock 'n' roll featurette 'Round-Up of Rhythm' plus ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" from The Ed Sullivan Show. Recollections by Pat Boone second only to Elvis Presley as the biggest-selling artist of the 1950s and Cleve Duncan lead vocalist of the Penguins place rock & roll in context. Alongside these and many other contributions is the first-hand recall of Peter Ford son of Hollywood legend Glenn Ford. A chance hearing of Peter's copy of ""Rock Around The Clock"" inspired movie director Richard Brooks to use the song in ""Blackboard Jungle "" which he was making with Glenn Ford at the time. The film's subsequent success brought rock & roll to the eyes and ears of the world and placed Bill Haley and the Comets at the heart of the most exciting influential music of the 20th century. The 1 hour 20 minute documentary features all of all the classic Bill Haley and His Comets original recordings re-mastered in 5.1 surround sound including ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" ""See You Later Alligator"" ""Rock The Joint"" ""Razzle Dazzle"" and ""Hook Line and Sinker"". Plus performances of ""The Great Pretender"" by The Platters and ""Tutti Frutti"" by Little Richard. Extras include bonus interview footage with Pat Boone Marshall Lytle Johnny Grande Cleve Duncan and Jamie Farr.
