• Night of the Comet | Blu Ray | (22/09/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  It was the last thing on earth they ever expected. Life can be tough when you're a Valley girl. First there's making sure you're on time for pep squad practice. Then there's having to live under the same roof as your bitchy stepmother who you suspect is making it with Chuck from across the road. And then of course there's having to keep on the lookout for the occasional marauding zombie hungering after your flesh! Eighteen year-old Reggie (Catherine Mary Stewart - Weekend at Bernie's The Last Starfighter) misses out on the event-of-a-lifetime when she ditches watching the comet in favour of copping off with the projectionist at the cinema where she works. But this turns out to be a wise move when the next day she discovers that the entire population has been reduced to piles of red dust - leaving only Reggie her sister Sam (Kelli Maroney - Fast Times at Ridgemont High Chopping Mall) and a handful of other survivors to fend off the roving gangs of glassy-eyed zombies. Taking its cue from classic 'doomsday' movies such as The Day of the Triffids and The Omega Man (and with a healthy dose of Dawn of the Dead thrown in for good measure) Night of the Comet is an irresistible slice of Reagan-era B-movie fare which features Cindi Lauper dance-alongs as well as some truly gravity-defying bouffant hairstyles... Well it was acceptable in the 80s!

• Without A Clue | DVD | (10/12/2001) from £3.99   |  Saving you £3.00 (75.19%)   |  RRP £6.99

  The basic joke of the would-be romp Without a Clue is that Dr Watson (Ben Kingsley) is a detecting genius who has had to hide his light under a bushel by hiring an alcoholic ham actor Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine) to pose as his imaginary alter ego Sherlock Holmes. He is now frustrated because the blundering idiot is hailed as an infallible hero while he is forever being pushed out of the picture. To really work, the film should have cast a leading man who gives the impression that he might make a good serious Holmes, but Caine is all too credible in his idiot act. In one of the best jokes Watson covers up a faux pas by complementing Holmes on his convincing disguise as a drunken lout, and so the laughs that should come in a flow only manage to trickle. The actual plot is about forged bank-notes ruining the Empire but is constructed to allow for the usual excursion by picturesque steam train to a clue-ridden holiday destination and some dirty deeds down by the docks. The leads coast through their routines but the supporting cast has an appropriately rat-like and embittered Inspector Lestrade from Jeffrey Jones, a winsomely duplicitous Victorian heroine from Lysette Anthony and a rather good goateed sadist Professor Moriarty from Paul Freeman. It can't hold a magnifying glass to Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, but as a Holmesian footnote it edges a deerstalker or so ahead of Gene Wilder's The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. It certainly beats the Peter Cook-Dudley Moore Hound of the Baskervilles and John Cleese in The Strange Case of the End of Civilisation as We Know It.--Kim Newman

On top of that, Joe falls in love with his no-nonsense lab partner (Daphne Zuniga -- THE SURE THING, TV's MELROSE PLACE), who won't let anything, especially romance, interfere with her plans. And while Joe's never done anything by the book, he proves he does have what it takes to succeed -- without changing his ways!
