• The Three Faces Of Eve | DVD | (25/03/2013) from £29.99   |  Saving you £-15.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  For her impressive portrayal of a woman with multiple personality disorder in The Three Faces of Eve, Joanne Woodward brought home the 1957 Best Actress Oscar. Based on Corbett H. Thigpen’s novel of the same name, “The Three Faces of Eve” follows the fascinating story of a deeply troubled young Southern housewife. Suffering from headaches, emotional upset and forgetfulness, Eve White sees a psychiatrist, Dr. Luther (Lee J.Cobb). At first Luther hypnotizes her, unveiling two additional personalities in the woman – a vamp and an independent sophisticate. But curing Eve will require a deep probe into an abusive past with support from her less-than supportive husband. With narration from the inimitable Alistair Cooke, 'The Three Faces of Eve' is intriguing drama at its classic best.

  Seven children wander the streets in an urban odyssey over one day and night. But not all will find their way home. Katrina and Trisha are two street-smart girls, with sharp tongues and attitude. When they wag school and are caught shoplifting, the cops make sure they leave knowing they've got nothing, that they're worth nothing. Having recently fled his mother's cloying love, Roo is now living on the street. But when he finds himself shooting a porn film he realises he's not so tough and just wants to go home. Unfairly accused of stealing his mother's money, Daniel decides he may as well stage a real theft. But the outcome of his actions is not the one he expects. Brother and sister, Orton and Stacey, must flee the mother they love in order to survive. And James is the most lost of all; a young Aboriginal man with no place in the white or black world.As each child moves deeper into peril, a mother's scream pierces the night and we know that a life has been lost. Dawn breaks, and it's the same day but now we experience the journey from the viewpoint of the five mothers. Over-wrought Tanya wrongly accuses her son of theft. Deeply religious Gina has a premonition that her missing son is dead. With little to look forward to, but much to reflect upon, Laurel must acknowledge that she kept a child from his rightful mother. Lonely Bianca loses her winning streak but finds comfort from a stranger. And Rhonda, tough yet achingly vulnerable, lets the children she loves go because she believes they are safer without her. Over the course of their respective journeys we understand that they are as lost and defenceless as the children they care for. And by night's end, one of them must face her worst nightmare.

  In 1972 before the internet before the explosion of the adult film industry Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film featuring a story some jokes and an unknown and unlikely star Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried; Les Miserables). Escaping a strict religious family Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard; TVs The Killing). As Linda Lovelace she became an international sensation-less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with some 'impressive skills'. Fully inhabiting her new identity Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another utterly contradictory narrative to the world-and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.

• 3 Classic Award Winning Dramas - Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe / Sophie's Choice / On Golden Pond | DVD | (20/10/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  The sunny streets of Brooklyn, just after World War II. A young would-be writer named Stingo (Peter MacNicol) shares a boarding house with beautiful Polish immigrant Sophie (Meryl Streep) and her tempestuous lover, Nathan (Kevin Kline); their friendship changes his life. This adaptation of the bestselling novel by William Styron is faithful to the point of being reverential, which is not always the right way to make a film come to life. But director Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men) provides a steady, intelligent path into the harrowing story of Sophie, whose flashback memories of the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp form the backbone of the movie. Streep's exceptional performance--flawless Polish accent and all--won her an Oscar, and effectively raised the standard for American actresses of her generation. No less impressive is Kevin Kline, in his movie debut, capturing the mercurial moods of the dangerously attractive Nathan. The two worlds of Sophie's Choice, nostalgic Brooklyn and monstrous Europe, are beautifully captured by the gifted cinematographer Néstor Almendros, whose work was Oscar-nominated but didn't win. It should have. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com
