• Die Hard (Two Disc Special Edition) | DVD | (04/02/2002) from £9.98   |  Saving you £13.01 (130.36%)   |  RRP £22.99

  This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new template for action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank) and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is trapped with them." In Die Hard, those bad guys, led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume control of a Los Angeles high-rise with Willis's visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of the film has as much to do with the sight of a barefoot mortal running around the guts of a modern office tower as it has to do with the plentiful fight sequences and the bond the hero establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie Bedelia plays Willis's wife, Hart Bochner is good as a brash hostage who tries negotiating his way to freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a believable killer with lethal feet and William Atherton is slimy as a busybody reporter. Exceptionally well-directed by John McTiernan. --Tom Keogh

• Angela Anaconda | DVD | (15/07/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £2.99

  Joanna Ferrone and Susan Rose's Angela Anaconda is one of the most inventive and acute animated shows on children's television. Its gawky heroine Angela has a bad attitude to authority and a vivid fantasy-life that makes up for the humiliations of the everyday--her rivalry with the endlessly pretentious Nanette Manoir and the more-or-less intense dislike of her form teacher Mrs Brinks. We have a profound sense that what we are getting is Angela's side of all this but the transformations and endless sufferings through which she puts the targets of her scorn are entertaining enough to make us entirely complicit. The animation technique, combining poster paint backgrounds with almost hyper-real monochrome faces, provides an almost seamless segue from the mundane to the imagined; these six episodes take us to the Moon, the Amazon and the French Revolution while plausibly reminding us at every turn that these are children, in a classroom. --Roz Kaveney

There were great goals from Cameron Jerome late drama courtesy of Kevin Phillips sensational saves from Joe Hart and an unbelievable blend of craft and graft typified by the new boys Johnson Dann and Ferguson with experienced campaigners like Carr Bowyer and Larsson. Featuring highlights from every game and every goal scored in the Premier League FA Cup and Carling Cup this is the complete record of a remarkable season.
