"Director: Tony"

• Days Of Thunder | Blu Ray | (02/03/2009) from £16.99   |  Saving you £3.00 (17.66%)   |  RRP £19.99

  This loud and fast 1988 effort by director Tony Scott (Beverly Hills Cop 2, Top Gun) is much more style than substance but it does effectively depict the edgy and dangerous world of stock car racing. Tom Cruise plays yet another cocky loner trying to find success and happiness, this time as stock car racer Cole Trickle, a driver with raw talent but no discipline who is desperate for guidance and sponsorship. They both materialize in the visage of world-weary Robert Duvall, who despite his better instincts sees a second chance at victory in the young driver. Featuring supporting roles by Nicole Kidman, as Cruise's physician and love interest, and Randy Quaid, as a bombastic sponsor, and with a screenplay by Robert Towne (Chinatown), Days of Thunder is a slickly packaged entertainment best suited for die-hard Tom Cruise fans and those who want an intense visual experience. --Robert Lane

As Detective Cruz sets out to find her, the clues send him into the city's seediest corners, from a Hollywood action star with a dirty little secret (James Van Der Beek), to an enterprising porn producer who takes a personal interest in his own work (Snoop Dogg) and a kinky waitress with an unusual fetish for particle physics (Autumn Reeser). Lexie proves to be as elusive as she is beautiful and Cruz becomes obsessed with finding her. With time running out, Cruz discovers the trail leads to reclusive billionaire (Sam Elliott), and his physicist (Jimmi Simpson), intent on recreating The Big Bang underneath the New Mexico desert. Tailed by a trio of cops also looking to find the missing diamonds, and with the body count piling up, Cruz soon realizes that what appeared to be a standard missing person's case is anything but, and could quite possibly bring about the end of the world as we know it.

• In Love with Alma Cogan | DVD | (24/06/2013) from £12.45   |  Saving you £0.54 (4.34%)   |  RRP £12.99

  United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: In a quiet east coast resort, the bright spot is the pier and its theatre run by Norman for as long as anyone can remember. But popular success is no longer enough - the council wants to be rid of the financial burden and brings in Norman's one-time friend Eddie to 'spice up the programming' with increasingly hilarious results. Eddie's arrival stirs up longburied disappointments that Norman, aided by his loyal assistant Sandra, is forced to confront. The lead role of Norman is played by actor Roger Lloyd Pack, in a far cry from the sitcom characters of Trigger and Owen. Norman, who was a teenage fan of Alma Cogan, the most popular and successful female vocalist in the UK between the early fifties and mid sixties, is unable to forget his romantic encounter with the singer nearly fifty years ago. He finally achieves closure with the assistance of Cedric, played by another much loved actor, Keith Barron and his loyal assistant Sandra (Niamh Cusack). One of Britain's best-known actors, John Hurt appears briefly in a jacket-sparkling cameo spot as a congenial seaside show host. ...In Love with Alma Cogan

• Tony Palmer - The Wigan Casino | DVD | (01/02/2010) from £8.35   |  Saving you £1.64 (16.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The Wigan Casino was not a gambling den near Manchester, anymore than The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell is about a funfair by the seaside, although curiously the two are inextricably related.

It remains the most famous club in Northern England. Fro...

• Farscape: Complete Season 1 (Box Set) | DVD | (28/10/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £99.99

  The first series of Farscape was a revitalising tonic for TV SF. An ambitious coproduction of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Australia's Channel 9 and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape launched itself with a refreshing mix of CGI, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry to take a visual leap beyond other genre shows. The witty scripts, too, peppered with double-entendres and pop-culture references, are light years away from the staid style of Star Trek. Admittedly, the first season's basic premise is simply Buck Rogers updated (American astronaut John Crichton, played by Ben Browder, is catapulted to a far-flung galaxy populated by strange aliens), while the crew initially have something of Blake's 7 about them (a motley bunch of escaped convicts pursued by a relentless foe), and ideas like the living ship are borrowed from Babylon 5, but the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it all look and feel completely original. --Mark Walker

• Hellbound - Hellraiser 2 | DVD | (20/05/2019) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

• Crimson Tide | DVD | (11/03/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  In the typical Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer mould(the partnership yielded Top Gun and Days of Thunder, among many other films), this 1995 drama is a combination of one-dimensional but enjoyable performances, lots of high-tech nonsense taking place onscreen, and mechanistic movie-making at its loudest and most seizure-inducing. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington play nuclear submarine officers squaring off over the former's apparent intention to do some unauthorized damage to an enemy. Tony Scott (Top Gun) directed, bringing his lustre and pop commercial sense to go with all that Simpson-Bruckheimer eye candy. --Tom Keogh

• The Other 'Arf - The Complete First Series | DVD | (17/01/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Class distinction exists in most countries but that has never stopped Cinderella from meeting her Prince. The universal appeal of rich-man-falling-for-working-class-girl is the theme of this hit comedy series starring Lorraine Chase and John Standing - leads whose own backgrounds mirror those of their characters. The Other 'Arf was conceived by Terence Howard (who had worked on the celebrated Campari ad campaign which launched the TV career of model Lorraine Chase) and developed by legendary comedy writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Porridge Auf Wiedersehen Pet); originally screened in 1980 this first series also stars Patricia Hodge Natalie Forbes and in an early TV appearance Caroline Quentin. Sir Galahad comes in many guises and in the case of beautiful model Lorraine Watts he's in the form of Charles Latimer a Tory MP who saves her from the unwelcome attentions of a lecherous photographer. While Charles is an aristocrat and Lorraine is a Cockney born and bred the difference in their social stations fails to put the brake on their express dash into romance... although it promises to be a bumpy journey!

• Frank Zappa -200 Motels | DVD | (08/03/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £16.99

  AMG-Frank Zappa's 200 Motels is a film that defies categorization. Although it was released to theaters it was shot on videotape and blown up for the big screen. Zappa was inspired by life on the road to assemble this surreal somewhat uneven movie which has no real plot; it is more like a series of music videos with occasional narrative passages featuring actor Theodore Bikel as the mysterious government agent Rance Muhammitz Ringo Starr playing Larry the Dwarf who is dressed up to look like Zappa and Keith Moon as a bizarre nun. A lot of the humor will appeal strictly to Zappa fans as will the often exciting music. Highlights include the hard driving Mystery Roach the hilarious Lonesome Cowboy Burt with a vocal by former Mothers of Invention drummer Jimmy Carl Black and the grandiose finale Strictly Genteel complete with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which Zappa would re-record on more than one occasion. Oddly enough Zappa's appearances on screen are rather fleeting when compared to most rock musicians who seem to feel that the camera must be on the leader 90% of the time. The supporting cast of the Mothers of Invention on this occasion include lead singers Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (formerly of the Turtles) saxophonist Ian Underwood George Duke (making a rare appearance on trombone instead of keyboards) and drummer Aynsley Dunbar.

• Detachment | DVD | (28/01/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Director Tony Kaye's (American History X) long-awaited film Detachment stars Academy Award winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he's not alone in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.Kaye has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. Detachment features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami Gayle and Betty Kaye.
