• The Serpent's Kiss | DVD | (29/01/2001) from £15.58   |  Saving you £-11.59 (N/A%)   |  RRP £3.99

  The Serpent's Kiss will probably be well received by fans of Peter Greenaway's arch and ornate films (The Draughtsman's Contract, Drowning By Numbers for example). In this movie, a young Dutch landscape artist named Chrome (Ewan MacGregor) is hired by homely but rich landowner Smithers (Pete Postlethwaite) to turn his overgrown estate into a masterpiece of topiary and hedge-mazes. But unbeknown to Smithers, Chrome is fulfilling the will of Smithers' ardent enemy (Richard E Grant), who hopes to bankrupt the wealthy man and seduce his beautiful wife (Greta Scacchi). When Chrome falls under the spell of Smithers' enigmatic daughter, all plans go awry. The strong cast wallows entertainingly in this mix of jealousy, decadence, intriguing visuals, Machiavellian schemes, and heaving bosoms, with Grant performing with his usual lurid gusto. The sumptuous Restoration-era costumes enhance this meditation on art versus nature. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

When Withnail's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage they escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country but soon realise they've gone on holiday by mistake when their wits - and friendship - are sorely tested by violent downpours less-than-hospitable locals and empty cupboards. An intelligent superbly acted and hilarious film. Freebird: Three London motorcycle couriers Fred (Gary Stretch) Tyg (Geoff Bell) and Grouch (Phil Daniels) set off from the capital in search of an elusive hippy and his cannabis farm in the Welsh mountains. Originally intended as a nice weekend in the country Fred has now found himself making a promise to his old friend the Chairman that whatever situations arise he will not return empty handed. Grouch has also made a promise that come Monday morning he'll be moving himself and his belongings into his new found love Lucinda's flat and finally making an attempt at the world of serious relationships. As for Tyg no such pact. This is a man who's never been further than the outskirts of London and as far as he's concerned an industrial unit near Heathrow Airport is pretty much the back of beyond. No Tyg's out to explore; to broaden his horizons; to lose any ignorance and soak up the hospitality of another nation. But what are those wild beast noises coming from the woods and why are there two gangs of bikers in the area about to settle an old score? Throw in a seven foot masked lovesick Russian wrestler and things could really get out of hand. That said it may also have something to do with the wild mushrooms they had for breakfast. It's a three and a half hour journey from London to the Welsh mountains but for Fred Tyg and Grouch it's just about to turn into the trip of a lifetime.

• Strictly Sinatra | DVD | (21/07/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Peter Capaldi, the writer and director of the vaguely amusing and almost engaging Strictly Sinatra, seems to have had two recent strains of British film-making on his mind: the Guy Ritchie school of modern mob capers and the post-modern urban Scottish noir of Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. Indeed Kelly MacDonald, who starred in the latter, appears in Strictly Sinatra as a similar rough-around-the-edges love interest. The film revolves around what happens when hapless Glasgow lounge-singer Tony Cocozza (played by the always capable Ian Hart) crosses paths with the local Mafiosi. Their initial mutual attraction is derived from the ability of the parties to support each other's delusions: Cocozza wishes he was Sinatra, they wish they were Sinatra's dubious cronies. But Cocozza swiftly realises that he has, as the song goes, bitten off more than he can chew, and proceeds, predictably enough, from doubt to epiphany to redemption to happy ending.--Andrew Mueller
