• Once Upon A Time In Mexico/Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas | DVD | (02/06/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This boxset contains the following films: Once Upon A Time In Mexico (Dir. Robert Rodriguez) (2003):The saga continues as the Mariachi (Banderas) makes his way across a rugged landscape on the trail of Barrillo (Willem Dafoe) who is planning a coup against the Mexican president. Enlisted by corrupt CIA agent Sands (Johnny Depp) the Mariachi demands retribution and the adventure begins! Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas (Dir. Terry Gilliam) (2005):Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas is a whirlwind of a movie a wacky drug-laden story backed by a fist-pumping rock & roll soundtrack featuring everything from Wayne Newton and Tom Jones to Combustible Edison and Dead Kennedys. Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) heads to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race bringing along his Samoan lawyer Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) in this furious adaptation of the book by Hunter S. Thompson. It is 1971 and Duke and Gonzo are on their way to Sin City with a frightened hitchhiker (a nearly unrecognizable Tobey Maguire) and a trunkful of drugs which they ingest nonstop. Depp is terrific as Duke Thompson's alter ego and Del Toro is a riot as the crazy lawyer. To perfect his Thompsonian performance Depp spent a lot of time with the good doctor and it paid off in a film that captures the frenetic pace of the counterculture novel. Director Terry Gilliam a master of complex bizarre visual imagery has a field day interpreting the drug-hazed world in which Duke and Gonzo reside. An all-star cast chimes in with wonderfully offbeat bit parts including Harry Dean Stanton Gilliam regular Katherine Helmond Flea Cameron Diaz Ellen Barkin Christina Ricci Gary Busey Lyle Lovett and others.

• Make Way For Tomorrow | DVD | (25/10/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  Of Make Way For Tomorrow Orson Welles told Peter Bogdanovich: Oh my God that's the saddest movie ever made. Long unavailable for home viewing Leo McCarey's personal favourite among all his films (which included The Awful Truth and An Affair To Remember) is sad yes but it also stands as cathartic affirmation of the dignity of human feeling and in the testament of such achieves a subtle complexity of characterization on par with Renoir Ford and Hawks. Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi two of the great Hollywood character actors appear makeup-aged beyond their actual years to portray the couple whose house the bank has foreclosed upon (the film was set and produced in the midst of the Great Depression) and who are forced subsequently to move into their children's homes in the city. A near-musical restructuring of gratitude and debt ensues once the offspring deem the couple's lodging an imposition: the two are separated then reunited weeks later... as they glide inexorably into an uncertain future. Unrelentingly unsentimental yet maintaining a balance of pathos and levity unseen in not only American studio pictures but most of the rest of world cinema Make Way For Tomorrow exerted a powerful influence on Yasujir'' Ozu's Tokyo Story and several other key entries in the Japanese master's body of work. It is a film profoundly concerned with questions of filial obligation and the way we treat one another as human beings; it is a film that to give Welles the last word could make a stone cry. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Leo McCarey's truly great Make Way For Tomorrow for the first time on Blu-ray anywhere in the world.
