• Ivan the Terrible | DVD | (21/11/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Sergei Eisenstein's saga of Czar Ivan IV continues with the struggle for power and the use of secret police, a controversial segment that caused the film to be banned by Stalin in 1946 (but was later released in 1958). The predominantly black-and-white film features a banquet dance sequence in colour. Obviously the two parts must be viewed as a whole to be fully appreciated. Many film historians consider this period in Eisenstein's career less interesting than his silent period because of a sentimental return to archaic forms (characteristic of Soviet society in the 1930s and '40s). Perhaps it was just part of his maturity.

• Man of Iron | DVD | (20/07/2009) from £21.02   |  Saving you £-11.03 (-110.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Frequently regarded as one of the greatest and most important films to ever come out of Poland the Oscar nominated and Palm d'or winning Man Of Iron (Czlowiek z Zelaza) is legendary director's Andrezj Wajda's final and most moving and poignant film regarding the Solidarity Movement and its struggles to gain recognition in his native country. Continuing from his seminal Man Of Marble Man Of Iron expands on the story of Maciej Tomczyk a young worker involved in the anti-Communist labour movement. In Warsaw in 1980 the Regime sends Winkel a weak alcoholic TV hack to Gdansk to dig up dirt on the shipyard strikes particularly on Maciek who has become an inspirational figure in the Union movement following the killing of his father in the December 1970 protests. Posing as a sympathiser to the cause Winkel interviews people who know Tomczyk including his detained wife in an effort to undermine and destroy the growing support behind the movement. The film uses actual news footage of the 1968 and 1970 protests and of the later birth of free unions and Solidarity which it interweaves throughout the stories of a son coming to terms with his father a couple falling in love a reporter searching for courage and a nation undergoing historic if all too fleeting change.

• The Young Stranger | DVD | (30/06/2003) from £4.24   |  Saving you £5.75 (135.61%)   |  RRP £9.99

  A story of teenage tearing-away in 1950s America, The Young Stranger fails to make a serious, gripping narrative of the events that follow the somewhat innocuous pivotal moment when 16-year-old Harold "Hal" Ditmar (James MacArthur) punches a cinema manager. Adapted from a TV play and released two years after the benchmark for delinquency movies, Rebel Without a Cause, it has none of that film's raw urgency, seeming staid and inconsequential in comparison. The primary problem is that Hal makes an unconvincing hoodlum. His misdemeanour is less an act of rebellion than a brief misunderstanding. Far from articulating the angst of a generation, his angry tirades against his parents (Kim Hunter and James Daly) and the police set him apart from his peers and feel more like the self-pitying whines of a privileged individual. This sensation is further exacerbated by the fact that all of his problems are swiftly resolved in an all-too-neat ending. Still, The Young Stranger is an interesting period piece, not least for an amusingly tame car chase from first-time feature director John Frankenheimer. --Paul Philpott

• Braveheart - Limited Edition Steelbook | Blu Ray | (23/06/2014) from £22.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous scope to this story that it works on a smaller, more personal scale as well, essaying love and loss, patriotism and passion. Extremely moving, it reveals Gibson as a multitalented performer and remarkable director with an eye for detail and an understanding of human emotion. (His first directorial effort was 1993's Man Without a Face.) The film is nearly three hours long and includes several plot tangents, yet is never dull. This movie resonates long after you have seen it, both for its visual beauty and for its powerful story. --Rochelle O'Gorman
