• Where The Buffalo Roam | Blu Ray | (27/04/2015) from £6.79   |  Saving you £8.20 (120.77%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Bill Murray is in his early-career, shambling glory as Hunter S. Thompson, the gonzo journalist with a fondness for Wild Turkey and firearms. While Murray does not do as exact an impersonation of Thompson as Johnny Depp (in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), he does capture Thompson's dazed, anarchic nature. Unfortunately, the movie around him is just anarchic: a series of episodes (true or invented) from Dr. Thompson's career, circa 1968-72. The haphazard structure is probably meant to suggest the spirit of the counterculture or something, but it's just flabby storytelling. Thanks to Murray's blissful delivery, there are scenes that have a stoned giddiness to them: Thompson and his attorney (Peter Boyle) terrifying an unsuspecting hitchhiker, or Thompson alone in a men's room with Richard Nixon. Neil Young contributes some music, and Murray warbles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" while drunkenly piloting a plane. --Robert Horton

• The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It | DVD | (16/05/2011) from £7.91   |  Saving you £8.08 (102.15%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This disjointed comedy spoofs four Judd Apatow efforts: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Superbad (Apatow directed two and produced the other two). It gets off to an awkward start when Andy (MadTV's Bryan Callen), a middle-aged comedian, has a nightmare in which his hairy chest horrifies his topless date. The rest of the movie continues along the same vein--more disgusting moments, more underdressed women. As it turns out, Andy's housemates, Michael (Steven Nicholas) and Jonah (Steven Sims, best of the lot), also plan to lose their virginity in the days to come. All three hang out with characters who recall Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad's McLovin), the "Can you hear me now?" guy, and a black Benjamin Button, who ages in reverse (and dresses like Samuel L. Jackson). While the teens try to track down booze for a party, Andy meets Kim (Noureen DeWulf), who has to break their date when she gets a job in Hawaii, and Sarah (Mircea Monroe), who loses control of her bodily functions when she drinks too much. Then one of the ladies gets pregnant, and everyone ends up in Maui, where complications, naturally, ensue. Along with the Apatow-inspired situations, co-writer-director Craig Moss (Saving Ryan's Privates) spoofs American Pie, Twilight, Slumdog Millionaire, and There Will Be Blood, but The 41-Year-Old Virgin feels more like a series of sketches than a full-fledged feature, the gross-out humour gets old fast, and Moss squanders all the sweetness of Apatow's best work. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
