Interviews of KLI members (Linguists Psychologists Star Trek fans and steadfast individualists) reveal the intellectual fraternal liberating and no-nonsense direct qualities they enjoy within the constructed-from-pop-culture Klingon language. From Louise Witty who becomes fascinated with the language from her interest in Star Trek boots (and then fabricates and sells them) to a Paintball King who shouts strategic military movements in the Klingon tongue Earthlings examines the interplay between culture and language communication and emotion and the rather delicate line between reality and fiction.

• Tank Wars | DVD | (13/08/2011) from £11.98   |  Saving you £8.01 (40.10%)   |  RRP £19.99

  After the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the fight for armoured superiority on the battlefield was quicklyrealised as one of the distinguishing factors that, combined with air and sea domination, would determine the outcome of the war.However, at this time, nearly all of the armoured vehicles used in combat were classed as light or middle weight and were unable to meet the demands dictated by modern warfare. In order to succeed, the Germans would have to develop their technology exponentially in order to triumph against the allies on the field.In the six years that followed, German tanks, assault guns and armoured vehicles were radically improved in all areas, with most offering superior firepower, manoeuvrability and armour that their allied counterparts simply could not rival.The introduction of the iconic Panzer IV, Tiger and Knigstiger (Royal Tiger) tanks allowed the Germans to dominate the battlefields, ensuring a wealth of armoured victories over their enemies. These two films deal exclusively with these deadly vehicles in meticulous detail, showing them in action on the front lines using original archive footage never before seen outside of Germany. With over 50 minutes of original material, as well as bonus galleries and footage, this DVD will appeal to all military and vehicle enthusiasts.

• Troy - A Documentary | DVD | (21/06/2004) from £5.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  There are many reasons to recommend Troy as a good ol' fashioned Hollywood epic, especially if you've never read Homer's The Iliad. Dispensing with Greek gods altogether, this earnestly massive production (budgeted at upwards of $200 million) will surely offend historians and devoted students of the classics. But there's politics aplenty in the grand-scale war that erupts when Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) makes off with Helen (blandly beautiful German model Diane Kruger), wife of Spartan ruler Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), whose brother, the Greek king Agamemnon (Brian Cox) prods him into enraged retaliation. Greek warrior Achilles (Brad Pitt) brings lethal force to his battles (and there are many of them, mostly impressive), and his Trojan counterpart, Paris's brother Hector (Eric Bana), adds even more buffed-up beefcake to a film so chock-full o' hunks that there's barely room for Peter O'Toole (doing fine work as Trojan king Priam) and even less for Julie Christie, appearing ever-so-briefly as Achilles's melancholy mother. The drama is nearly as arid as the sun-baked locations (Mexico and Malta) that stand in for the Aegean coast, and many critics suggested that Pitt (who valiantly tries to give Achilles some tormented dimension) was simply miscast. But when you consider that Wolfgang Petersen also made The Perfect Storm, there's nothing wrong with enjoying Troy as a semi-guilty pleasure with a touch of ancient class. --Jeff Shannon
