• Lunch Hour | Blu Ray | (25/04/2011) from £15.99   |  Saving you £4.00 (25.02%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Shirley Anne Field gives a fiery performance as a young designer on the brink of starting an affair with a married male supervisor (Robert Stephens) at the wallpaper factory where she works. Based on the play by acclaimed writer John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey) Lunch Hour is directed by James Hill (Black Beauty Born Free). With its tightly-focused plot and 'real-time' narrative this stylish examination of an illicit lunch-hour rendezvous features an underlying sexual radicalism that tells us much about the time in which it was made. Also presented here are three of James Hill's critically acclaimed and fondly remembered short films all of which have more recently garnered an appreciative fan-base amongst enthusiasts of so-called Trade Test films (which were broadcast to test the then-new colour transmission system by BBC TV engineers during the 60s and 70s).

• 99-1 - The Complete First Series | DVD | (14/02/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Leslie Grantham (EastEnders) stars as maverick cop Mick Raynor in this six-part thriller set in the no-man's land where the underworld meets the establishment. While Raynor is posing as a bent ex-policeman he is still very much part of the force - using his current identity to gain information on a complex web of organised crime and high-level corruption lurking beneath the surface of British public life. Raynor doesn't make arrests every week. He's after the big fish: the gangsters with knighthoods; the politicians who are laundering the money. In their pursuit he faces the most dangerous assignments that will stretch his nerves - and his conscience - to the very limit. Also starring Robert Stephens (as Raynor's controller Commander Oakwood) with appearances by Robert Carlyle and Sharon Duce 99-1 was written by British playwright and dramatist Terry Johnson recipient of nine British theatre awards including Olivier Awards for Best Comedy Playwright of the Year at the Critics Circle Theatre Awards Writers Guild Awards for Best Play for two consecutive years and the 2010 Tony Award; this first series was produced by BAFTA winner Steve Clark-Hall.

• Messengers 2 - The Scarecrow | DVD | (21/09/2009) from £5.38   |  Saving you £10.61 (197.21%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This prequel goes back to the farm from the first film to finally learn the story of John Rollins - the simple North Dakota farmer struggling to save his farm and hold his family together.

• Tomcats | DVD | (15/10/2001) from £4.98   |  Saving you £8.01 (160.84%)   |  RRP £12.99

  One might reasonably expect Tomcats to be the Porky's of 2001: after all, it concerns a group of young, sexist morons and their fears and fantasies about young women. But Tomcats isn't quite as brain-dead as that, though it is phenomenally more neurotic. Jerry O'Connell plays one of two remaining bachelors within a group of wealthy pals who set aside a cash reward, years before, earmarked for the last among them to get married. O'Connell needs the money to pay off a gambling debt, but his problem is that the other bachelor is a horrendous pig (Jake Busey) unlikely ever to land a gal. A general mean-spiritedness flows through this wearying comedy, manifest in such ugly moments as watching someone's girlfriend run over by a golf cart and an excised, cancerous testicle kicked around hospital hallways. If you're looking for female flesh, however, forget it: Tomcats is far more driven to explore male nudity, while making equally naked today's masculine fears of impotence, mothers and lesbians. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Minder - Series 1 - Parts 1 To 4 | DVD | (06/08/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £39.99

  First appearing on our screens in late 1979, Minder was a vehicle for ex-Sweeney sidekick Denis Waterman, but its lasting contribution to TV culture was rehabilitating George Cole, whose loveable but unscrupulous "entrepreneur" (an older version of the spiv he portrayed in the St Trinians films) mockingly reflected the values of 1980s Thatcherite Britain. Set in the rough demimonde of London, against a backdrop of small-time gangsters, seedy pubs, dubious business dealings and ageing dollybirds, Waterman plays Terry McCann, ex-boxer and ex-con trying to stick to the straight and narrow but persuaded against his better judgement to become involved in murky capers set up by his employer "Arfur" who regularly sublets him to associates of his. Though aspects of these episodes are a little creaky and dated--Terrys flares especially--the interplay between the too soft-hearted hardman Waterman and his dapper but slippery boss is both priceless and timeless. --David Stubbs

• Halloween III: Season of the Witch | DVD | (09/10/2000) from £7.98   |  Saving you £1.00 (20.04%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Halloween III: Season of the Witch was producer John Carpenter's attempt to get the series away from the original psycho-on-the-loose storyline and turn it into a vehicle for more far-fetched Halloween-themed horror tales. Incredibly, the fans voted for more of the same and Carpenter walked away for others to rehash the Michael Myers plotline in a succession of lookalike movies that are still turning up every few years. Though original screenwriter Nigel Kneale (of the Quatermass series and The Stone Tape) removed his name from the final film after a coarsening rewrite by director Tommy Lee Wallace, his strange touch is evident in the offbeat story. After the mysterious deaths of a toyshop owner, a doctor (Tom Atkins) and the man's daughter (Stacy Nelkin), an investigation takes place in the Irish-dominated Northern California community of Santa Mira, a company town owned by the Silver Shamrock Novelty corporation, whose bestselling Halloween masks are pushed by an amazingly irritating TV jingle you won't ever be able to get out of your head ("Two more days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween"). Atkins and Nelkin are typical low-rent horror movie protagonists, dim-bulbs who discover an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style conspiracy involving sharp-suited corporate robots. But guest star Dan O'Herlihy steals the film as a Celtic joke tycoon ("the man who invented sticky toilet paper and the dead dwarf gag") who hates the way American kids are despoiling the religious spirit of Samhain and decides to teach them a nasty lesson. His scheme, which involves a stolen Stonehenge megalith ("sure, you'd never believe how we did it") and a techno-magic spell that turns the heads of TV watchers into writhing masses of snakes and insects, is value for money. O'Herlihy mixes enough serious malice into the charm to come across as a great screen baddie. On the DVD: Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a disappointment on disc. After letterboxed titles, this defaults to full frame throughout, severely cramping Dean Cundey's Panavision cinematography, and it's a grainy, indifferent print that ill-serves the performances or the atmospherics. However, the severe cuts to the gruesome scenes made to previous video releases (in order to preserve the theatrical 15 rating) seem to have been restored. With an extras-packed Halloween disc on the market, it's a shame the most interesting of the follow-ups rates such a flimsy release--with not so much as a trailer as an extra. --Kim Newman
