• World War Z (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (21/10/2013) from £10.99   |  Saving you £19.00 (172.88%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Few monsters lend themselves better to allegory than the zombie. In the years since George Romero first set the shambling mold with Night of the Living Dead, filmmakers have been using the undead as handy substitutes for concepts as varied as mall-walking consumers, punk rockers, soccer hooligans, and every political movement imaginable. (All this, plus brain chomping.) World War Z, the mega-scale adaptation of Max Brooks's richly detailed faux-historical novel, presents a zombie apocalypse on a ginormous level never seen before on film. Somehow, however, the sheer size of the scenario, coupled with a distinct lack of visceral explicitness, ends up blunting much of the metaphoric impact. While the globe-hopping action certainly doesn't want for spectacle, viewers may find themselves wishing there was something more to, you know, chew on. Director Marc Forster and his team of screenwriters (including J. Michael Straczynski and Lost's Damon Lindelof) have kept the basic gist of the source material, in which an unexplained outbreak results in a rapidly growing army of the undead. Unlike the novel's sprawling collection of unrelated narrators, however, the film streamlines the plot, following a retired United Nations investigator (Brad Pitt) who must leave his family behind in order to seek out the origins of the outbreak. While the introduction of a central character does help connect some of Brooks's cooler ideas, it also has the curious effect of narrowing the global scale of the crisis. By the time of the third act, in which Pitt finds himself under siege in a confined space, the once epic scope has decelerated into something virtually indistinguishable from any other zombie movie. Even if it's not a genre changer, though, World War Z still has plenty to distinguish itself, including a number of well-orchestrated set pieces--this is a movie that will never be shown on airplanes--and the performances, with Pitt's gradually eroding calm strengthened by a crew of supporting actors (including Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, and a fantastically loony David Morse) who manage to make a large impression in limited time. Most importantly, it's got those tremendous early scenes of zombie apocalypse, which display a level of frenetic chaos that's somehow both over-the-top and eerily plausible. When the fleet-footed ghouls start dogpiling en masse, even the most level-headed viewer may find themselves checking the locks and heading for the basement. --Andrew Wright

  Marking 75 years since Mallard broke the speed record. Born of a century's technological development experience and scientific discovery Mallard was the greatest steam train ever created. She was not just sleek powerful and quick; she was also beautiful. Sir Nigel Gresley the genius who created her had vast workshops as well as a huge industrial battalion to do his bidding and could tour the world seeking the most advanced technologies. The Pacific A4 class of locomotive including most famously Mallard was developed at a critical point in history: the Goldilocks moment when the age of steam was at its height and before the shadow of the Second World War eclipsed the splendour that had been the railway age. In the 1930s two British railway companies (the LNER and the LMS) offered rival services from London to Scotland but they could not compete on price as the Government had introduced a national ticketing system. What they did instead was usher in the age of elegance and luxury on the rails in the LNER's case famously with Sir Nigel Gresley's Teaks probably the most elegant British railway carriages there ever were. All the others were just coaches or compartments: Gresley's Teaks were carriages. In addition there was the Race to the North the unofficial but deadly serious rivalry between LNER and LMS over journey times between London and Scotland. This DVD tells this incredible story. Step inside for the ride of your life.
