• Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever | DVD | (04/08/2003) from £8.99   |  Saving you £5.00 (55.62%)   |  RRP £13.99

  If you have a hearty appetite for fiery explosions, heavy ordnance and nonsensical mayhem, Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever is just for you. This mindless action flick is so wrong-headed that even its ungainly title is inaccurate: as expert assassins on the fringes of government intelligence, FBI agent Ecks (Antonio Banderas) and Defence Intelligence agent Sever (Lucy Liu) aren't battling each other at all. Instead, he's trying to find his missing ex-wife (the stunning but expressionless Talisa Soto) and young son, while she's pursuing an agency turncoat (Gregg Henry) who's stolen the ultimate micro-technology for clandestine killing. United against a common enemy, Ecks and Sever lay waste to half of Vancouver (the film's budget-conscious location), and it all makes as much sense as meatballs on a vegetarian menu. Banderas and Liu look fabulous as corpses pile up around them, but Thai action director Kaos (aka Wych Kaosayananda) must have confused his nickname with the incomprehensible plot of his movie. --Jeff Shannon

• Shaft Trilogy | DVD | (05/03/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £30.99

  The original and hippest version of Shaft cruised onto cinema screens in 1971. John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) is an African-American private eye who has a rocky relationship with cops, an even rockier one with Harlem gangsters, and a healthy sex life. The script finds Shaft tracking down the kidnapped daughter of a black mobster, but the pleasure of the film is the sum of its attitude, Roundtree's uncompromising performance, and the thrilling, Oscar-winning score by Isaac Hayes. Director Gordon Parks (The Learning Tree) seems fond of certain detective genre clichés (e.g., the hero walking into his low-rent office and finding a hood waiting to talk with him), but he and Roundtree make those moments their own. Shaft produced a couple of sequels, a follow-up television series, and a remake starring Samuel L. Jackson, but none had the impact this movie did. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com Shaft's Big Score is the first sequel to the super-hip 1971 original. When a pal of detective John Shaft is murdered in a bombing, New York's coolest private eye finds himself caught in the middle of a power struggle between black and white gangsters over the numbers racket in Queens. Directed by Gordon Parks (who does a brief cameo as a croupier in an illegal casino) and written by Ernest Tidyman (both of whom made the original Shaft), this film lacks the pacing of its progenitor. Roundtree is at his best when he's questioning a woman he's just met about a suspect while at the same time beguiling her into the sack (ah, those lazy, crazy days of the sexual revolution). The finale--a shootout in a cemetery, followed by a car-boat-helicopter chase through Queens and up the Harlem River--is preposterously drawn-out: Shaft, impervious to machine-gun fire, winds up tripping, spraining his ankle, and limping while running from the chopper; two shots later, he's sprinting like a halfback. Look for late Muhammad Ali trainer Drew Bundini Brown as a wise-cracking mobster. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.comShaft in Africa, the second sequel to the original hit, foreshadows itself early on when Shaft, asked to go undercover in Africa to halt a modern-day slave trade, claims that he's not James Bond but strictly Sam Spade. Bond, however, is the operative model here, with John Shaft masquerading as an Ethiopian to infiltrate the slave business and bring it down. Yet everyone he encounters seems to know who he is and wants to kill him--but the string of dead bodies he leaves in his wake across two continents proves that no one is able to stop everyone's favourite hip private eye. Written by Stirling Silliphant, the film is long on action set pieces that are filmed with more energy than the previous movie, Shaft's Big Score. Given contemporary practices involving smugglers of illegal Chinese and Mexican immigrants, the plot isn't all that far-fetched. Roundtree, as usual, is the picture of unflappable cool--but don't get him mad. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

• Frank Sinatra - A Man And His Music | DVD | (19/11/2001) from £6.13   |  Saving you £8.86 (144.54%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The prospect’s an enticing one: Frank with Ella Fitzgerald and Antonio Carlos Jobim backed up by Nelson Riddle’s fabulous orchestra. And on A Man and His Music we’re not disappointed. Sinatra shares two medleys with Ella, who is in magisterial form, and in between he sings a bossa nova medley to the accompaniment of Jobim’s guitar. The concert gets off to a cracking start with a Sinatra favourite "Day In Day Out", the arrangement emphasising the "drum-athon" theme of the show, whereby the rhythm section of the orchestra show off their prowess in a series of beat-driven arrangements. Sinatra sets this up with some amusing banter as we follow him to a rostrum where a superb bass player (unnamed) picks out the walking bass line of "Get Me to the Church On Time" which builds inexorably to a pounding finish. He then sings the bolero "What Now My Love?" to a brilliantly executed freewheeling trombone line, and recalls "Ol’ Man River" as though he were improvising it on the spot. Ella brings her heart and soul appropriately enough to "Body and Soul" before ripping up the joint with "It’s All Right with Me". In their first medley there are some happy exchanges between Ella and Frank. The medley ends with them chanting "Goin’ Out of My Head", a pop song likely to bring on a state of catatonic boredom. The Jobim medley has one unintentionally funny moment when Sinatra with cigarette in hand sings to Jobim Irving Berlin’s "Change Partners" ("Must you dance every dance, with the same fortunate man") without a flicker of expression. The second Ella/Frank medley is a corker led off by "The Song is You". The artists are so entertaining that you almost forget the backdrop, a hideous orange set. After a camp pirouette or two Sinatra sobers up by putting his dreams away. On the DVD: as with other discs in this series there is the obligatory trailer with Sinatra arriving at an empty sound stage, only for the picture to burst into life for a cut away shot of him singing "I’ve Got You Under My Skin". Subtitles are available. The soundtrack is perfectly respectable and wears its 30-odd years lightly. --Adrian Edwards
