  Francis Bacon (1909-1992) is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century. Bacon was born in Dublin but lived most of his life in London and despite having no formal art training he became one of the most influential figurative painters of the post-war era famed for his disturbing and powerful images of the human form. His importance has recently been underlined by the record prices paid for his work. Bacon's Arena was nominated for an international Emmy and is widely acclaimed as the definitive biographical documentary on Francis Bacon. This special edition DVD produced in association with the Estate of Francis Bacon has been created to mark the centenary of his birth (2009) and coincides with the start of a 4 month retrospective at the Tate Britain gallery in London.

  Frank Capra started as a Mack Sennett gag writer and soon thereafter moved over to the Poverty Row studio of Columbia Pictures as a director. Capra helped lift Columbia out of the low budget ranks, up to major studio. His remarkable string of hits in the 1930's - IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, LOST HORIZON AND MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON - made him not only one of the industries most highly esteemed figures, but also a popular draw himself. He was ...

• Sleepers | DVD | (14/03/2016) from £20.23   |  Saving you £-5.24 (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The first thing you need to know about Sleepers is that it's based on a novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra that was allegedly based on a true story. The movie repeats this bogus claim, which was attacked and determined by a wide majority to be misleading. Knowing this, Sleepers becomes problematic because it's too neat, too clean, too manipulative in terms of legal justice and dramatic impact to be truly convincing. And yet, with its stellar cast directed by Barry Levinson, it succeeds as gripping entertainment, and its tale of complex morality--despite a dubious emphasis on homophobic revenge--is sufficiently provocative. It's about four boys in New York's Hell's Kitchen district who are sent to reform school, where they must endure routine sexual assaults by the sadistic guards. Years after their release, the opportunity for revenge proves irresistible for two of the young men, who must then rely on the other pair of friends (Brad Pitt, Jason Patric), a loyal priest (Robert De Niro), and a shabby lawyer (Dustin Hoffman) to defend them in court. Despite the compelling ambiguities of the story, there's never any doubt about how we're supposed to feel, and the screenplay glosses over the story's most difficult moral dilemmas. At its best, Sleepers grabs your attention and pulls you into its intense story of friendship and the price of loyalty under extreme conditions. The movie's New York settings are vividly authentic, and Minnie Driver makes a strong impression as a long-time friend of the loyal group of guys. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

• Frost/Nixon | DVD | (14/03/2016) from £8.05   |  Saving you £6.94 (86.21%)   |  RRP £14.99

  It’s not always that a stage play translates particularly well to the medium of movies. But for anyone considering such a challenge in the future, Frost/Nixon is surely a fine template to follow. In the capable hands of director Ron Howard, the extraordinary story of how a then-fairly low profile television interviewer managed to bring the disgraced former President of the United States to account is, at best, absolutely riveting.Much of the reason for this is the two leading performances, which are both absolutely exception. The awards attention for Frost/Nixon has been directed towards Frank Langella, and truly he’s an actor long overdue some recognition. Here, as ex-President Nixon, he’s flat-out brilliant: a complex, intriguing character portrayed with real measure and expertise. It’s unfair, though, that Michael Sheen has been overlooked by some. Fresh from portraying Tony Blair in The Queen, Sheen is once more brilliant here, injecting Frost with an erratic, on-the-edge fallibility that sets up the film’s final act extremely well. Now you can argue, with some right, that Frost/Nixon flattens out some of the facts to its own liking, and certainly the portrayal of David Frost doesn’t seem to do the man too many favours. But when it gets to the interviews themselves, it’s electric, and proof that you don’t need a bunch of effects and flashy gimmicks to keep you on the edge of your seat. Ron Howard has done this to us before with a true story, in the shape of Apollo 13, and here again, even though we know the ending, the journey there is quite brilliant. You really can make compelling drama with just two people sat in a chair… --Simon Brew Stills from Frost/Nixon Michael Sheen stars as journalist David Frost Kevin Bacon stars as Richard Nixon's aide Jack Brennan Michael Sheen and Rebecca Hall Frank Langella works with director Ron Howard A scene in which David Frost visits Richard Nixon’s home The superb supporting cast including Sam Rockwell, Oliver Platt and Matthew Macfadyen
