  In Kawakami City having a samurai ancestor and enormous fighting spirit isn't just an interesting historical fact it's a huge part of how you end up being ranked on the social totem pole. That in turn bleeds over into the school curriculum - sometimes literally. Fortunately that's something the local kids like Yamato Naoe have learned to deal with by forming small bands (of samurai not the musical type). And while the delicate sexual balance of Yamato's group seemed fine when there were three girls and four boys the sudden addition of two more girls starts to send everything spinning out of control! Seven's a band of samurai and nine is a riot as boys girls and naked blades all come together! Special Features: Shorts Textless Openings Textless Closings Japanese Promo Spots Trailers

• Wales - RBS 6 Nations 2013 Champions | DVD | (27/05/2013) from £5.41   |  Saving you £7.58 (140.11%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Relive Wales' incredible defence of their RBS 6 Nations crown. When the final whistle blew at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday 16th March 2013 70 000 joyous Welsh fans were sent into raptures having witnessed their side crush England by 30 points to 3 – achieving their biggest ever winning margin over England – to retain the RBS 6 Nations title and deny their oldest enemy a first Grand Slam in 10 years. It was a truly magnificent performance as 23 Welsh dragons outthought and out-fought their opponents in every area of the field to roar to an incredible victory. Coming into the tournament Wales were out of form and without a win since the 2012 RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam. Defeat at home to Ireland in their opening 2013 fixture left Wales with a mountain to climb particularly with three successive trips away to come before their final game against a resurgent England at home. But a deserved if perhaps unexpected win in the Stade de France against Les Bleus was followed by victories at the Stadio Flaminio and Murrayfield against Italy and Scotland respectively leaving Wales needing to defeat unbeaten England by seven points to complete a miraculous defence of their RBS 6 Nations crown. And win they did thanks largely to two magnificent second half tries from Alex Cuthbert to seal a remarkable victory and ensure the RBS 6 Nations trophy stayed in Wales for another year.

• Black Sabbath | Blu Ray | (13/05/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Black Sunday was such a huge hit that a follow-up was swiftly demanded, and horror maestro Mario Bava duly devised this three-part horror anthology blending modern and period stories. In the giallo-style 'The Telephone', a woman is terrorized by her former pimp after his escape from prison, and tries to escape him with the help of her lesbian lover, who has a dark secret of her own. In the Victorian-era 'The Drop of Water', a nurse steals a ring from the corpse of a dead spiritualist, which naturally tries to get it back. But it's the 19th-century Russian story 'The Wurdalak' that comes closest to Bava's earlier classic, with the great Boris Karloff as a much-loved paterfamilias who might not be entirely what he seems. Bava's direction is as stylish as ever, and Black Sabbath is almost a compendium of his favourite themes. Special Features: High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation of two versions of the film; 'I tre volti della paura' - the European version with score by Roberto Nicolosi and 'Black Sabbath' - the re-edited and re-dubbed AIP version with Les Baxter score, on home video for the first time English SDH subtitles for English Audio and a new English subtitle translation of the Italian audio Audio Commentary with Bava biographer and expert Tim Lucas Introduction to the film by author and critic Alan Jones A Life In Film - An Interview with star Mark Damon Three Faces of Black Sabbath - A comparison of the different versions of the film International Trailer US Trailer Italian Trailer TV and Radio Spots Collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by critic David Cairns and a substantial interview with AIP Producer Samuel Z.

• Motel Hell | Blu Ray | (20/05/2013) from £20.23   |  Saving you £-0.24 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  “It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!” cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the ‘o’ in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink) and no matter how many times you’ve seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff. Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret. Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel.

• Shallow Hal | Blu Ray | (27/05/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  After a succession of hugely successfully movies of a lower brow nature, Shallow Hal finds the Farrelly Brothers attempting a slightly more thoughtful film, albeit still tied up in their trademark toilet humour. It's an approach that is not unproblematic but not unsuccessful either, resulting in a film that engages the emotions in a manner that the likes of Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and There's Something About Mary never suggested possible. Jack Black is the Hal of the title, a man whose less than commendable attitude to women is suddenly altered by the rather credibility-stretching plot device of a chance meeting with a hypnotist. Henceforth Hal is only capable of seeing the beauty within, a development that allows for much humour at the expense of the less fortunate in the name of some sort of social comment. From it all, however, emerges a quite touching love story with Paltrow's character Rosemary and proof that the Farrellys do have something of a sensitive side--no matter how deep it may be buried. The ending may be woefully predictable, but such is the deftness of touch with which the story is told, that it is still the one we are all rooting for. This is a sickly sweet film in the truest terms. On the DVD: Shallow Hal comes with a plethora of extras on disc, including a series of mini-documentaries and TV specials, all of which plug the film but offer very little insight. That does come, however, from the handily subtitled directors' commentary, which demonstrates clearly the clash of cultures occurring in the movie. As well as commenting on the physical appearance of every female cast member who passes before the camera, the brothers also pay touching tribute to a colleague who passed away during the shoot and seem to know the name of every single extra and crew member who worked on the project, surely a rarity in these days of big budgets and faceless studios. There is also a large selection of deleted scenes, also with added commentary, a perfunctory music video from Shelby Lynne and a documentary on some of the technical aspects of the film. --Phil Udell

• Tristan + Isolde | Blu Ray | (27/05/2013) from £8.99   |  Saving you £4.00 (44.49%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Luscious cinematography and even more luscious stars make Tristan & Isolde a feast for the eyes. Adapted from the medieval love story, the movie begins with with young Tristan (played as a child by Thomas Sangster, Love Actually) as he sees his parents killed by the tyrannical Irish, who ruled over a fractured Britain after the Roman occupation. Taken in by Marke (Rufus Sewell, Dark City), who rules one of the British tribes, Tristan (James Franco, Spider-Man) grows up to be a young prince and a mighty warrior--and when he's believed slain in battle, he's given a royal funeral, which sends him out sea in a burning boat. But the fire goes out and Tristan washes ashore on Ireland, where Isolde (Sophia Myles, Art School Confidential), the daughter of the Irish king, nurses him back to health. Being a lovely pair of young folk bursting with hormones, they fall madly in love... and set in motion a tragic tale that's lasted for centuries in many variations. Some reviewers have criticised Tristan & Isolde for deviating from the most common classical version, but the movie's storyline--though certainly altered to appeal to modern audiences--is fairly strong. Myles and especially Sewell turn in strong performances; Franco, however, though surprisingly persuasive as a warrior, never burns as a lover. Nonetheless, the loving shots of Franco's muscular physique will make this a must-have for his fans. --Bret Fetzer
