• They Shoot Horses Don't They? | DVD | (08/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  They Shoot Horses Don't They? is set in the dark years of the l930s, when dance marathons became popular as a way for desperate people to compete for prize money. Sometimes the events would drag on for weeks as contestants pushed themselves far beyond the point of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, the dancers shambling around the floor in a half-dead stupor. People would then pay to sit in the bleachers, watch the event and cheer on their favourites. Taken from hard-boiled pulp writer Horace McCoy's novel of the same name, Jane Fonda plays a bitter young woman paired up with Michael Sarrazin for the ordeal. Gig Young portrays the unctuous MC of the event, bringing equal parts compassion and sleaze to his role. Many of the film's images are unforgettable, such as "the derby", a heel-and-toe race around the dance floor with bouncy, light-hearted music to accompany the miserable spectacle. It's a powerful, tragic period piece that reminds us of the privations of the Great Depression. In the largest sense, the film has existential overtones that go far beyond the story of enervated dancers staying on their feet for a month or more. This film brought home a string of Academy Award nominations for the cast and director Sydney Pollack and a win for Young. --Jerry Renshaw, Amazon.com On the DVD: The disc offers film trivia and notes on the main cast and director, along with a short slide show and original publicity notes in an attempt to furnish valuable information about the film. However the layout is visually unimpressive and the information is merely standard film trivia offering little insight into the film itself--the quotes from Jane Fonda are surely aimed at hardcore fans of the actress only. It all feels like a selection put together in a bit of a rush. --Nikki Disney

Could a cave in Ecuador contain strange metallic books inscribed with ancient alien technology?Do ancient religious texts describing angels actually hint at the presence of beings of a more extraterrestrial nature?These are among the many theories at the heart of Ancient Alien, an eye-opening fresh perspective on our relationship with the universe around us that examines the controversial idea that, throughout the lifetime of planet Earth, from the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt and on to the present day, alien visitors have never been far away.

• Neil Young And Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps | DVD | (07/10/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Rust Never Sleeps its aphoristic title drawn from an intended advertising slogan was an album of new songs some of them recorded on Neil Young's 1978 concert tour. His strongest collection since Tonight's The Night its obvious antecedent was Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home and as Dylan did Young divided his record into acoustic and electric sides while filling his songs with wildly imaginative imagery. The leadoff track My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) (repeated in an electric version at album's end as Hey. Hey. My My (Into the Black) with slightly altered lyrics) is the most concise and knowing description of the entertainment industry ever written; it was followed by Thrasher which describes Young's parallel artistic quest in an extended metaphor that also reflected the album's overall theme -- the inevitability of deterioration and the challenge of overcoming it. Young then spent the rest of the album demonstrating that his chief weapons against rusting were his imagination and his daring creating an archetypal album that encapsulated his many styles on a single disc with great songs -- in particualr the remarkable Powderfinger - unlike any he had written before. Now for the first time ever Sanctuary Records is proud to release the legendary concert movie Rust Never Sleep on DVD. Recorded at San Francisco's Cow Palace in October 1978 the movie documents one of the most remarkable concert performances ever put on film. Tracks: 1. Sugar Mountain 2. I am a Child 3. Comes a Time 4. After the Goldrush 5. Thrasher 6. My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) 7. When You Dance I Can Really Love 8. The Loner 9. Welfare Mothers 10. The Needle and the Damage Done 11. Lotta Love 12. Sedan Delivery 13. Powderfinger 14. Cortez the Killer 15. Cinnamon Girl 16. Like a Hurricane 17. Hey Hey My My (Into the Black) 18. Tonight's the Night

• Birdy | DVD | (17/04/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Based on William Wharton's transcendent novel of the same name, this film is about many things: friendship, war, and, of course, birds. The framing device is an effort by a horribly scarred combat soldier (Nicolas Cage) to break through to his best friend, Birdy (Matthew Modine), hospitalised after seemingly being driven mad by fighting in the Vietnam War. Cage then flashes back to their boyhood, where Birdy, a canary aficionado, was considered the school weirdo but managed to be a solid companion none the less. Directed by Alan Parker, it works best as a coming-of-age story, but misses the bizarre psychological transferences of the book, in which Birdy imagines himself within the world of canaries he creates in his bedroom at his parents' house. Modine is fine as an out-of-it misfit enraptured by his own little universe. --Marshall Fine
