"Actor: Bruce"

• Evil Dead | Blu Ray | (20/05/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £11.49

  Director Sam Raimi may now be renowned for his trilogy of Spider-Man films, but for many, it’s the Evil Dead films that hold a special place in their heart. Unsurprisingly, too, for here’s a horror film that’s got no sign of Hollywood studio interference, no wish to tone things down, and instead finds a massively talented film maker stretching a small budget to impressive ends. The Evil Dead, along with its sequels, has built up a cult following since its original release, but it’s also earned a deserved respect too. For this is a film that’s jammed with energy, and genuinely bursting with ideas. Granted, in the years since its release, many have been mined by the horror genre. But there’s still so much to admire and enjoy. The film, if you’ve not had the pleasure, stars Bruce Campbell as Ash, one of a group of five friends who head to a cabin in the woods on holiday. While there, unwisely as it turns out, they play a tape that they shouldn’t, and all hell breaks loose. It also sets loose a very enjoyable half and a half of stylish, and gory horror. It comes out of its Blu-ray release surprisingly well, too. Here’s a film shot on old stock, that should be showing plenty of wear and tear. And yet the 1080p transfer here is a fine job, backed up by an always-welcome package of extras. The end result is both a fine way to enjoy the movie for the first time, or arguably the best way to revisit it. Either way, it’s very much a recommended buy. --Jon Foster

• Peter Sellers Collection - Blockhouse/Where Does It/Orders Are | DVD | (13/10/2008) from £18.88   |  Saving you £-5.89 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  An enigmatic but deeply talented man Peter Sellers remains one of the finest British actors to grace our screens. This special Box Set collection pays tribute to his full range of acting abilities - from the farce comedy to the action drama - with three contrasting yet equally entertaining films. Orders Are Orders: A sleepy army barracks is about to be overrun by a film company shooting a science fiction caper - much to the annoyance of the Divisional Commander who decides to make a surprise inspection. The Blockhouse: A group of POW's is forced to seek shelter deep inside a Nazi Blockhouse packed with supplies and hidden treasures. When the bombardment causes the walls to collapse and there is no hope of escape their physical comfort gives way to mental disintegration that provides these hardened soldiers with their toughest test of the war. Where Does It Hurt? In this classic hospital farce Sellers plays a greedy and crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the duplicitous arts of conning insurance companies bill-padding and unnecessary surgery. Ably abetted by Jo-Ann Pflug (MASH) and Pat Morita (Karate Kid Happy Days) Sellers puts in a show-stealing performance that lives long in the memory.

Shaolin-based weapons (spear and staff). He doesn't do much empty hand but as always tosses in some nice kicks.

• Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Basil Rathbone Collection (14-disc Box Set)--Amazon.co.uk Exclusive | DVD | (19/07/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £129.99

  These 14 classic Sherlock Holmes adventures dating from 1939-46 star Basil Rathbone as the great detective and Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson. Rathbone had made his name in Hollywood playing villains (memorably against Errol Flynn in 1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood) but his aquiline features and effortlessly haughty demeanour made him the ideal candidate to don Holmes's deerstalker. Bruce's "incorrigible bungler" is a bumbling comedy sidekick, unlike Conan Doyle's conception of the rather unimaginative but nevertheless astute Doctor. However, the pairing deservedly became the stuff of screen legend, a cinematic double act as memorable and enduring as Laurel and Hardy or Rogers and Astaire. The investigations began in 1939 with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a relatively faithful screen adaptation of the original story, but thereafter the series moves ever further from its source material, with only intermittent success. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes introduces Professor Moriarty (George Zucco, the first of several actors to portray Holmes's nemesis) in an enjoyably convoluted story derived from an Edwardian-era stage play. Then, in 1942's The Voice of Terror, Holmes and Watson leave fog-shrouded Victorian London behind to battle Nazis intent on destroying beleaguered England. The wartime propaganda element in this and subsequent pictures--intended to foster American sympathy with the British war effort--don't get in the way of the cases too much, and at least the spirit of Conan Doyle is preserved. Holmes remained in the present day thereafter, along with Moriarty, Inspector Lestrade and Mrs Hudson, right up to the rather disappointing! final instalment in 1946's Dressed to Kill. Jeremy Brett created a far more authentic Holmes in Granada TV's long-running series, but Rathbone deserves credit for making the character all his own. Purists may baulk at the many liberties taken (such as shipping Holmes off to the States or Canada whenever an excuse offered), as well as occasionally jarring elements (such as Dick Van Dyke-style American "Cockneys"), but taken as a whole these films deserve their reputation, and Holmes fans will surely treasure them. On the DVD:This 14-disc set has one film per disc, which is a bit of a waste given that the longest runs only 82 minutes, and some are less then 60 minutes each. Picture quality is poor at best, fuzzy and lacking clarity, with no sign of any cleaning up of the prints. It's a shame that such a classic series has not been accorded more careful treatment. Another indication of the lacklustre presentation is the single extra feature: a rather prosaic documentary hosted by Christopher Lee about the various versions of Holmes down the years, which is repeated on four of the discs, and which has nothing specific to say about the Rathbone era. --Mark Walker
