  John Carpenter's apocalyptic The Thing was released in cinemas just two weeks after E.T. in 1982. The two movies could hardly have presented more contrasting ideas about extra-terrestrial life, and it was Carpenter's uncompromisingly bleak vision that lost out at the box-office. But his audacious remake of the Howard Hawks 1951 B-movie The Thing from Another World has since been acknowledged as a classic in its own right, not only for its pioneering makeup and special effects techniques, but also for its bold treatment of an alien "infection" that eerily foreshadow s AIDS-inspired blood contamination scares. Whizzkid Rob Bottin was responsible for the surreal and stomach-churning make-up effects that are so crucial a part of the film's success--without his utterly convincing creations Carpenter would never have been able to make a monster movie without a "man in a suit"--and filming on a glacier in British Columbia ensured the complete authenticity of the Antarctic setting. Kurt Russell leads a strong all-male cast who powerfully convey their isolation and distrust of one another--in more ways than one this is a film about alienation. The uneasy atmosphere is enhanced by an icily monochrome score from Ennio Morricone, as a series of unforgettable horror set-pieces lead to a wonderfully downbeat finale. On the DVD:: The bonus features are exemplary, notably the excellent 80-minute documentary, "Terror Takes Shape", which covers all aspects of the production; and the relaxed, friendly, informative commentary by director John Carpenter and star Kurt Russell--a model for how all commentaries should be. There's also an outtakes reel with some tantalising stills of unused footage. Text and stills-based montages illustrate the location design, conceptual artwork and various other aspects of the production. The sound mix is Dolby 5.1, although the non-anamorphic widescreen picture is not all it could be. --Mark Walker

  In this his first series for TV Russell embarks on a comic personal confrontation of society''s prejudices and in doing so he confronts some of his own psychological demons. Can Russell expunge his issues with his father by challenging him to a fight? Is sex with a seventy year old a viable proposition for this picture of manhood? On the other hand (literally) is sex in a toilet possible with another man? Would you bathe with a homeless person? These are important questions and Russell intends to find out the answers. The programmes make for edgy and sometimes squeamish viewing as Russell embarks on a journey deep within himself; in doing so he finds humour empathy and a deep level of humanity. Welcome to 'Jackass'' of the brain; instead of putting his body at risk Russell puts his mind his heart and his right hand to the test to see what truths emerge. Combined with Russell Brand''s unique and frenetic comic delivery this is the series that launched a career mixing entertainment with social issues in the blender with full on effect. Episodes Include: Dadfight Russell examines the idea of the Oedipus complex. He challenges his father to a fight in the hope some of the demons of the past can be purged. Homeless James: Part 1 & 2 With all the unoccupied buildings in the UK should anyone really be homeless? Is it because we think of the homeless as dirty and unpleasant? How would Russell feel if he brought a homeless person into the core of his life - share a bed and bath with them? How would that make them both feel? Naziboy Russell spends some time with the youth leader of the BNP. Why would a supposedly bright and intelligent idealistic young man end up allying himself with such an old fashioned ideology as ultra-nationalism? Can Russell swallow his own feelings long enough to hear what he has to say? Eddie Kidd Rides Again Eddie Kidd was every red blooded mans hero. A pin up stunt rider who had it all. Then disaster; a crash and a new world of re-hab physiotherapy and care workers took over. How does Eddie feel about the crash and what has happened since and what feelings does it bring out in Russell? My Old Tart Russell explores the idea of sexuality in old age. Can he have a full and meaningful relationship with a woman over seventy? Is the age divide a barrier of the mind or something more substantial? Wanky Wanky In this episode Russell challenges his sexuality. Is your sexuality constructed by environment and experience or is it innate? In a bid to examine this issue Russell strolls up to a man in a gay pub and says ''We''re making a TV programme where we examine and explore homosexuality-can I **** you off in a toilet?''!!!! The Inside of Your Soul What if anything has Russell learnt from his experiences? Why put himself in situations he feels uncomfortable with? Was he just a voyeur? Was it just exhibitionism? Or did he and those taking part gain anything from their encounters?
