• The Last Laugh | DVD | (23/02/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  One of the most influential silent films of all time, FW Murnau's street-drama tragedy The Last Laugh is a compendium of silent film techniques handled with a new sophistication. The story concerns an ageing hotel porter who loses his job to a younger, more dashing man and suffers the humiliation of being demoted to washroom attendant. When the hearty, rather pompous Emil Jannings is stripped of the dignified uniform of his station, he transforms into a scared little man scurrying through the shadows to hide his demotion from friends and family. Murnau captures the humiliation and calamitous fallout from the demotion (he loses not just his self-respect, but the esteem of his neighbours and even loses his apartment) in haunting, expressionistic images that magnify the petty events into tragic melodrama. The story seems a little extreme even for the genre but it's never less than a harrowing, subjective experience, even with the rather fanciful happy ending tacked on the end of it. Murnau famously throws the camera into motion--one of his most celebrated shots takes the viewers up an elevator, through the grand hotel lobby, and out the revolving glass door in a single smooth shot--and it hasn't stopped moving since. --Sean Axmaker

• The Convent | DVD | (17/10/2005) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  With tongue firmly in cheek throughout, The Convent piles on the gross-out gore. A group of college kids take a midnight trip to a deserted convent school which 40 years earlier was the scene of a massacre by a wayward convent schoolgirl called Christine. What they don't know is that the long dead and mightily peeved souls of the murdered nuns are still stalking the premises. The demonic nuns liquidate a succession of dumb and dumber teens in order to steal their souls. Among the potential victims are a virgin Goth, a jive-talkin' jock and a pair of effeminate, flouncing Satanists. Coolio cameos as a likeably corrupt cop whose bark is worse than his bite. The humour fluctuates between goofy and just plain stupid. But director Mike Mendez thankfully bypasses the Scream blueprint for slasher flicks. The Convent provides strictly irony-free screams, harking back instead to classics like Halloween and Nightmare On Elm Street. Horror veteran Adrienne Barbeau shows up as the adult Christine, strapped with an arsenal that would make even Charlton Heston blush and ready to wreak revenge on her convent school education all over again. On The DVD: The DVD features static menus and extras are limited to a theatrical trailer and cast and crew filmographies. The main feature is presented as a clear transfer in 4:3 full frame format with Dolby Digital 2.0 sound. --Chris Campion

• Addicted | DVD | (19/03/2007) from £18.98   |  Saving you £-12.99 (-216.90%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Addicted to a wish... Dae-jin (Lee Byung-heon) and his brother Ho-jin (Lee Eol) are as close as brothers can be. Hurriedly on the way to the car race in which his brother is competing Ho-jin is killed while simultaneously Dae-jin is critically injured in a track incident. After waking up from a long coma Dae-jin unerringly takes on the entire habits as well as the looks of his worshipped brother. Matters escalate after he falls into an addictive tryst with Ho-jin's wife Eun-soo (Lee Mi-yeon) that goes far beyond a brother and sister-in-law relationship... Sure-footed and yet consistently surprising the film examines the very nature of spritiual versus physical love and the lengths people will go to in order to sense completeness. Park Yeung-hoon's refreshingly intelligent edgy drama saw the re-teaming of Lee Mi-yeon and Lee Byeong-heon after 1998's 'Harmonium In My Memory'; for her achingly real performance as the brittle Eun-soo Lee Mi-yeon scooped the Best Actress prize at the 2003 Grand Bell Awards.
