"Actor: Barry Sheen"

• Firestarter | DVD | (30/01/2012) from £6.29   |  Saving you £-0.30 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Stephen King wasn't exactly in peak form when he wrote Firestarter, so this 1984 movie adaptation was at a disadvantage even before the cameras rolled. There were so many King movies being made at the time the weaknesses of this one became even more apparent. In her first film role after her memorable appearance in E.T., Drew Barrymore stars as a little girl whose parents acquired strange mental powers after participating in a secret government experiment. From this genetic background she has developed the mysterious ability to set anything on fire at will, especially when she's angry. That makes her very interesting to government officials seeking to exploit her skill as a secret weapon. Her father tries to protect her by using his powers of mind-control, while George C. Scott plays an Indian who believes the girl must be destroyed. There is a routine climax involving a lot of impressive pyrotechnics, but none of this is grounded in a dramatically solid foundation, and none of the characters are developed enough for us to care about them. Director Mark L. Lester, who the following year made Commando with Schwarzenegger, keeps the pace cracking along, but nevertheless the movie gradually turns into a laughable thriller with no suspense whatsoever. It's a movie only a pyromaniac could love. --Jeff ShannonOn the DVD: This is a largely no-frills presentation, albeit with a decent anamorphic print. The only extras are the original theatrical trailer and a nicely presented menu. A fold-out booklet has informative liner notes and a reproduction of the film poster.

  This is the amazing story of how Yamaha claimed World Championship glory for four years in a row with action-packed archive race footage behind-the-scenes access and contributions from the racing stars delivering the story behind the headline-grabbing triumphs. Enjoy dramatic race action from legendary circuits like Assen Le Mans Silverstone Spa and more as the greats of motorcycle racing including Kenny Roberts Barry Sheene Giacomo Agostini Johnny Cecetto and Randy Mamola do elbow-to-elbow battle for World Championship honours. The first of these unique films follows the fortunes of American Steve Baker in his first season of World Championship racing. With exceptional footage from 500cc and 750cc races of 1977 plus interviews with Baker and other stars of the season we discover how the 'rookie' claimed a World Championship at his first attempt and was only beaten to the 500cc crown by the mercurial Sheene. In the next three films we relive one of the most amazing eras of motorcycle Grand Prix racing the reign of 'King' Kenny. Roberts burst onto the 500cc GP scene in 1978 and proved unstoppable taking the title not only in his first season but in 1979 and 1980 as well. He made it look easy but as these extraordinary films remind us the American superstar had to battle with the very best all the way to secure his hard-earned World Championship victories. The down-to-the-wire title chases of 1978 and 1980 are exceptional edge-of-the-seat viewing and the 1979 British Grand Prix is rightly regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle showdowns ever - the incredible footage on this DVD shows exactly why. We are also treated to rare on-board footage with Roberts contributions from experts like Kel Carruthers and the story of Christian Sarron's assault on the 750cc title in 1979. Yamaha: World Champions 1977-1980 is more than a simple racing review; unparalleled access to the riders and team members ensures you discover the stories behind the headlines and how history was made.
