From the notorious Fabrizio De Angelis (Zombie Flesh Eaters) comes the ultimate in nature amok films. When a group of well-meaning scientists venture into the murky swamps of Santo Domingo, little do they know they are stumbling into a toxic nightmare. Local industrial barons have foolishly been pumping their waste into the water and this has given birth to a humongous reptilian monstrosity with an equally large appetite for human flesh. Featuring effects by the legendary Giannetto De Rossi (Rambo III), Killer Crocodile delivers all the thrills, spills and chills that any self-respecting fan of eco-horror demands. With performances from Anthony Crenna (son of Rambo's Richard Creena) and Hollywood legend, Van Johnson (Eagles Over London), Killer Crocodile remains a firm cult favorite find out why for yourself, with striking HD clarity, thanks to this 2k restoration from 88 Films. Killer Crocodile 2 Getting back in the water will never be safe again! From special effects guru, Giannetto De Rossi (Dune), comes this blood-soaked follow-up to Killer Crocodile. The swamps of Santo Domingo are still haunted by the waste of the industrial industry and Anthony Crenna (The Blob) is out to prove the dangers plaguing the local water sources with the help of reporter, and love-interest, Liza (Debra Karr). At the same time a greedy property developer pushes to secure a location for his pet project, a swank new holiday resort overlooking a toxic river, despite the areas problem with a mutated killer crocodile chowing down on anyone dumb enough to enter the water. Stepping behind the camera for his first and, to date, only time, BAFTA-nominee Giannetto De Rossi (The Last Emperor) amps up the gore, set-pieces, F-bombs and general nastiness; the scene in which a boatload of orphans and a nun get chewed on by the killer croc is enough to cement this film's place in the exploitation history books, but that's just the beginning and Killer Crocodile 2 is bigger, badder and louder than the first in every conceivable way. Brace yourself for Killer Crocodile 2 like you have never seen it before thanks to this beautiful 2k restoration from 88 Films.

Yes, The Five Doctors is the one that gathers together Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker and Davison, dumps them on some moorland and lets some of the Doctor's greatest enemies take potshots at them. Except, of course, that William Hartnell had sadly passed on by the time this series was made in 1983 (although his replacement Richard Hurndall does an excellent job) and Tom Baker was only featured as a patched-in cameo, apparently prevented from joining in by a temporal thingummy. However, this kind of creakiness comes with the territory and is soon forgotten. The assorted incarnations of the Doctor (together with a scattering of assistants) are drawn together through time and space to battle Daleks, Cybermen, Yeti--those weird androids which keep jumping into the air and disappearing--and many other old foes. They realise that they're on their home planet of Gallifrey and must eventually deal with the legacy of Rassilon, founder of the Time Lords. It's all great fun, of course, and the excellent chapter points on this DVD compensate for the rather self-indulgent lack of editing. --Roger Thomas

There's trouble in the boardroom and the bedroom as tensions heat up while struggling to run the family business in the fourth series of this first-rate soap opera (Observer), featuring dramatic performances from fantastic acting talent including Jean Anderson, Richard Easton, Derek Benfield and Colin Baker Simply Media are delighted to announce the first DVD release of The Brothers: The Complete Series 4, containing all fourteen episodes of this television gem written and created by N. J. Crisp (Dixon of Dock Green) and Gerard Glaister (Dr. Finlay's Casebook), following the successful release of series 1-3 to date. Originally shown on BBC One's Sunday night spot in 1974, and proving to be one of the BBC's most popular drama series of the 1970s, this will be the first time fans of the long-running boardroom soap opera will be able to own this series on DVD. So popular was the series, a Christmas album entitled Christmas with the Hammonds was even recorded by the cast! Series 4 continues the dramatic story of the Hammond family and their trials and tribulations in attempting to run the family's lucrative trucking company Hammond Transport Services, inherited after the death of family patriarch Robert Hammond, who died while doing the nasty with his secretary. Tensions run high however when, unexpectedly, shares in the family business are split between all three brothers in the family, and also Robert's secretary and mistress Jennifer (Jennifer Wilson - Z Cars) meaning the family are forced into alliances that no one wants... The three brothers are also very different characters with different ideas on how to run the business, which leads to much conflict amongst the family. Edward (Patrick O'Connell - Fraud Squad) is a no nonsense, well-paid accountant who feels he was most qualified to run the whole business by himself, David (Robin Chadwick - Pride and Prejudice (1967)) is a disinterested second class honours, first class layabout arts graduate and playboy with a glamorous girlfriend (Gabrielle Drake), while Brian (Richard Easton - Finding Forrester) is a dull accountancy wizard with a controlling wife. Throw domineering mother Mary (Jean Anderson - The Railway Children) in to the mix and The Brothers delivered a winning formula of power struggles and family feuding that kept devoted fans coming back for more for the five years that the series aired. Doctor Who fans will also rejoice at the introduction of sixth incarnation of The Doctor Colin Baker to this series as the famously ruthless young city banker Paul Merroney, seen as a prototype for the new Thatcher-era inspired generation of corporate go-getters. So deplorable was his character, Paul Merroney was even voted the most hated man in Britain at the time by readers of The Sun. With gripping boardroom drama that would not be found on television today, family tragedy, financial struggles, secrets and betrayal all on the cards, this is a series that should not be missed by any fans of The Brothers, and is a great opportunity for any newcomers to the series to get stuck in to the woes of the Hammond family. Series 1-3 of The Brothers have already been released on DVD by Simply Media, with Series 5 planned for release 27th March 2017, and series 6 and 7 to follow during the rest of 2017.
It's better than the 1994 remake starring Kim Basinger and husband Alec Baldwin, but this 1972 thriller relies too heavily on the low-key star power of Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, and the stylish violence of director Sam Peckinpah, reduced here to a mechanical echo of his former glory. McQueen plays a bank robber whose wife (MacGraw) makes a deal with a Texas politician to have her husband released from prison in return for a percentage from their next big heist. But when the plan goes sour, the couple must flee to Mexico as fast as they can, with a variety of gun-wielding thugs on their trail. MacGraw was duly skewered at the time for her dubious acting ability, but the film still has a raw, unglamorous quality that lends a timeless spin to the familiar crooks-on-the-lam scenario. As always, Peckinpah rises to the occasion with some audacious scenes of action and suspense, including a memorable chase on a train that still grabs the viewer's attention. Getaway is not a great film, but a must for McQueen and Peckinpah fans. --Jeff Shannon
