"Actor: Billy"

• Pocahontas | DVD | (29/10/2001) from £5.97   |  Saving you £14.02 (234.84%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The lowest point in Disney's opportunistic revisionism of source stories for its animated features in the 1990s, Pocahontas presents the title character (voiced by Irene Bedard) as a voluptuous Indian babe who falls for the British plunderer Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson). Half-baked if trendy paganism abounds in the film's depiction of nature as possessing consciousness (though talking trees certainly aren't new to cartoons). But the dubious legitimacy of the film's premise and characterisations calls everything into question. The songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz--while Oscar-winning--fall short of the standard Menken achieved in superior Disney predecessors including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. --Tom Keogh

• VH-1 Storytellers - Billy Idol | DVD | (29/07/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  VH-1's Storytellers series has brought a number of stars back into the limelight and, nine years since his last album, Billy Idol was ready for the re-focus. His music and image were always the perfect synthesis of 1950s rock & roll and 70s punk, giving his songs an enduring appeal. Here he takes a number or two to get going, but from "Flesh for Fantasy" onwards, this is a greatest hits package high on entertainment and musicianship. Steve Stevens, whose gritty yet intricate guitar gave the first three Idol albums their edge, is on hand, as is a backing-band which catches the mood of each song unerringly. Highlights include stripped-down versions of "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell", an electro-acoustic rethink of the soulful "Eyes Without a Face"--a candidate for the perfect pop song?--and a sprinkling of songs by Generation X who, along with The Buzzcocks, were always the Pop Punk band of choice. Idol introduces several of the songs with street-wise bonhomie. The sneer may have lessened over time, but the attitude hasn't faded. On the DVD: Storytellers--Billy Idol on disc has a 4:3 picture format that captures the relaxed atmosphere, with Dolby Digital 5.1, 2.0 and DTS surround sound options. Thirty-two access points enable you to select the music without the chat, with subtitles in five European languages. The artist profile is brief but to the point and reproductions of album covers liven up the discography. Questions from the audience--a frequent Storytellers slot--are excluded, but it's a small omission. --Richard Whitehouse

• Parental Guidance (Blu-ray + UV Copy) | Blu Ray | (27/05/2013) from £6.00   |  Saving you £13.99 (233.17%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Artie (Billy Crystal) and Diane (Bette Midler) realise that they're the "other grandparents"--the ones their three grandkids barely know and dread seeing. So when they have a chance to take care of Harper (Bailee Madison), Turner (Joshua Rush), and Barker (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf), Diane jumps at it, dragging a reluctant Artie along. Naturally, their old-school approach to parenting clashes with the anxious, helicopter-parenting of their daughter Alice (Marisa Tomei) and her husband Phil (Tom Everett Scott). Which will win out? There's really no suspense--contemporary parenting is an easy target and every time Artie complains about how the kids are indulged, random strangers applaud him. However, as Artie's parenting technique yoyos between threats and bribery, movie audiences may find themselves on Alice's side. Parental Guidance is a flimsy movie built around cartoonish kids with cliché problems and jokes about poop and getting hit in the crotch. The plot eventually gets stuck in a mire of nostalgia and vanity (did Midler really have to have a musical number?). But along the way there are moments between kids and grandparents--and between parents and grandparents--that are genuinely sweet. Midler is just coasting through this, but Crystal, who remains a talented and charismatic actor, puts his heart into it. --Bret Fetzer

• Meltdown | DVD | (10/05/2004) from £3.74   |  Saving you £2.25 (60.16%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Jet Li can always be relied upon when it comes to action movies, and Meltdown is no exception. No surprises with the story line: Kit Li witnesses his wife blown up in a gangster attack masterminded by the nefarious Doctor, only to be confronted by the same "no risk, no reward" gangster two years later, now aiming to steal the Russian crown jewels from a hotel complex. The shadow of Die Hard falls heavily across the action, with its skyscraper stunts and marauding helicopter, given an appropriate twist by the high-velocity martial-arts sequences and director Wong Jing's stylish take on the high-tech metropolis that is Hong Kong. Jackie Cheung adds a comic element as Frankie Lane, the action-movie star seemingly past his sell-by date, and Kwan Sau Mei's Doctor is the epitome of suave nastiness. On the DVD: Meltdown on disc has a 1.85:1 widescreen picture that reproduces the plethora of monochrome conference rooms and exploding glass panels with dizzying clarity. This release comes ready dubbed into English--don't check the synchronisation too often and you'll hardly notice--with subtitles in 12 languages. The photo gallery is enlivened with Jet Li trivia, while the filmographies are unusually frank about the commercial nature of the Hong Kong film industry in general and Wong Jing's contribution in particular. But done with this degree of panache, films such as Meltdown are never less than 110# entertainment. --Richard Whitehouse

• Hannah Montana: One In A Million | DVD | (15/09/2008) from £8.20   |  Saving you £5.79 (70.61%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Human relationships are complicated regardless of whether you're young or old, or looking for love or friendship. When Miley's dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) and Lilly's mum (Heather Locklear) are attracted to one another in "Lilly's Mom Has Got It Goin' On," Miley (Miley Cyrus) and Lilly (Emily Osment) can barely contain their excitement, but an argument over who pays the bill raises the issue of sexism and puts an end to the romance. Jealousy threatens to tear apart the working relationship between Miley and Robbie Ray when The Jonas Brothers ask Robbie to write a song for them and Miley gets worried that her dad will like working with the guys better than working with her. A longstanding family feud between Miley's Mamaw Ruthie (Vicki Lawrence) and her Aunt Dolly (Dolly Parton) ruins the biggest night of Hannah Montana's life when she receives the International Music Award for "Best Female Artist" and the two most important women in her life can't seem to put aside their differences long enough to celebrate Hannah's accomplishment. Finally, professional and personal rivalry causes some serious ugliness between Mikayla (Selena Gomez) and Hannah Montana that affects both girls' reputations and their relationships with Jake. Funny thing is, Miley and Mikayla actually turn out to be pretty good friends. Throughout all four episodes, Jackson (Jason Earles) and Rico (Moises Arias) clash over everything from management style to business amenities, personal hygiene, and how each can best achieve his own notoriety. Bonus features include music videos "One in a Million" and "True Friend," a "Come Feud With Me" segment with Jackson narrating the ten top television feuds, and the Raven episode "Run Raven Run" in which Raven and Alana compete for the attentions of the newly transformed Devon Carter (Lil'J).--Tami Horiuchi
