• The Bible Code | DVD | (14/04/2005) from £4.99   |  Saving you £1.00 (20.04%)   |  RRP £5.99

  The Bible Code is a 40-minute American TV documentary, originally titled Secrets of the Bible Code Revealed, re-edited for the UK with narration by British presenter Paul Ross. The title change links the programme closely with Michael Drosnin's bestseller and The Bible Code, and while Drosnin is featured, the film is based more closely on the books The Mysterious Bible Codes by Grant Jeffrey and Cosmic Codes by Chuck Missler. The theory that there are phrases prophesying future events mathematically encoded in the Hebrew text of The Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) is centuries old; Sir Isaac Newton spent years investigating the possibility. However, it was the 1994 publication of a paper in the journal Statistical Science, consequently publicised by Drosnin, that revived modern interest. This short film can do no more than provide an introduction to a subject hotly debated by many leading mathematicians, statisticians, theologians and historians. The programme is in no doubt that God encoded secret messages in the Bible, and so oversimplifies the issue as to reduce it to the level of tabloid sensationalism. Anyone genuinely interested in the theory would be better served reading a serious book on what is an enormously involved subject. On the DVD: This is a standard 4:3 TV programme with average picture and sound which doesn't benefit from the digital format. The only extra is a handful of barely relevant text pages on the Enigma code. The listed "brief history of WWII" is not present. Given the subject so much more could have been done in providing background material, even to including a DVD-ROM computer programme to run code searches. As it is this is a missed opportunity to make a genuinely interactive experience. --Gary S Dalkin

• The Stepford Wives | DVD | (15/01/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Ira Levin's scary novel about forced conformity in a small Connecticut town made for this compelling 1975 thriller. Katharine Ross stars as a city woman who moves with her husband to Stepford and is startled by how perpetually happy many of the local women seem to be. Her search for an answer reveals a plot to replace troublesome real wives with more accommodating fake ones (not unlike the alien takeover in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers). The closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she faces--not to mention the likelihood that the men in town intend to replace her as well. Screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and director Bryan Forbes (King Rat) made this a taut, tense semi-classic with a healthy dose of satiric wit. The DVD release presents the film in its original widescreen dimensions. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
