Each time he does not remember who she is or that they have ever met. By morning he has finished the letter and her husband awaits satisfaction.....

• Gone Fishin' | DVD | (19/07/2004) from £5.38   |  Saving you £9.61 (178.62%)   |  RRP £14.99

  It's been called "the Ishtar of the 90s", but that's giving this film too much credit. Danny Glover and Joe Pesci (who could have used their Lethal Weapon series buddy Mel Gibson in here) star as slow-witted friends who take their dream fishing vacation in the Florida Everglades and end up having a series of disasters. The trouble is, director Christopher Cain can't get a handle on any of the comedy essentials for a project such as this. The result is a badly timed, badly toned, unfunny movie wasting a lot of great talent across the board. --Tom Keogh

• Never Let Go | DVD | (07/10/2002) from £11.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Remembered dimly as Peter Sellers' only venture into "serious" acting, Never Let Go has a lot of other things to recommend it, mostly because it manages to include a lot of the lurid elements that gained it an X certificate in 1960. It has a near-demented melodrama plot, as two desperate obsessives collide in a bizarre feud. Richard Todd, doing meek and put-upon, is a sales rep for smug Peter Jones' cosmetics firm whose life is turned upside-down when his Ford Anglia, bought on hire purchase and uninsured, is stolen by teddy boy Adam Faith. Looking like an inhabitant of Royston Vasey in The League of Gentlemen, Sellers plays a grinning, jumped-up spiv who runs a legitimate garage which is a front for the car thieves and is sugar daddy to teenage tartlet Carol White. Typical of Sellers' demonic rottenness is a scene in which he breaks down-and-out Melvyn Johns' heart by stamping on his beloved terrapin. "Peanut" Todd's crusade to get back his motor (catchphrase "what about my car?") brings trouble too: he gets repeatedly beaten up, abandoned by his wife (Elizabeth Sellars) and dragged to the edge of madness for a final punch-up in a garage. With a delightfully sleazy, jazzy John Barry score, lots of local colour in the caffs and gaffs of criminal London circa 1960 and a parade of welcome character actors (John le Mesurier, David Lodge, Noel Willman, Nigel Stock), this has its soapy spells, but it's a fascinating relic. On the DVD: Never Let Go's menu plays under Faith's theme song ("When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again--Oh Yeah Oh Yeah!"). The print is slightly letterboxed but looks a few generations away from the master with some careless transfer work that greys shadows and overexposes some scenes. --Kim Newman

• Alternative 3 | DVD | (08/10/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  First broadcast as part of a Science Report documentary series Alternative 3 uncovered an astonishing link between britain's brain drain of disappearing experts climate change and the start of an extra-terrestial colony. The programme ended with the credit Anglia Television April 1st 1977 and was in fact a Sci-fi drama and a deadpan heir to The War Of The Worlds. But after its broadcasts world wide that same week Alternative 3 clearly showed how the medium can manipulate the message as millions were fooled by the programme which provoked front page headlines and has inspired conspiracy theories ever since.

• Bunny Lake Is Missing | Blu Ray | (27/02/2017) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

The police (headed by a splendid Laurence Olivier) can't do much to help because, try as she might, Lynley can't prove to them that she ever had a daughter at all INDICATOR LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES: 4K restoration Audio commentary with film historians Lem Dobbs, Julie Kirgo and Nick Redman Interview with actor Carol Lynley (2017, tbc mins) Interview with actor Clive Revill (2017, 14 mins) Isolated score: experience Paul Glass' original soundtrack music Trailers Image gallery New and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Limited edition exclusive booklet with a new essay by Chris Fujiwara Limited Dual Format Edition of 3,000 UK Blu-ray premiere

• Flashback | DVD | (08/12/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Inspired casting puts sparks into Flashback, a comedy of counterculture clash between an aging 1960s radical and a buttoned-down FBI agent. Dennis Hopper plays an Abbie Hoffman-esque 1960s activist and prankster who lands in the custody of a conservative young agent (a suitably uptight Kiefer Sutherland) and proceeds literally to unravel the agent's carefully constructed front through a series of slippery mind games. Hopper has a blast as the unreformed relic, and Carol Kane is delightful as a hippie holdout who puts both men back in touch with their identities. There are few surprises, plenty of heart, and even a little sentiment in this story of rebellion and the legacy of the counterculture. The soundtrack is gilded with well-chosen 1960s anthems. --Sean Axmaker

• Not Now Comrade | Blu Ray | (14/09/2020) from £10.60   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  An uproarious British farce featuring a classic line-up of comedy veterans (including Leslie Phillips, Carol Hawkins, Roy Kinnear, June Whitfield, Ian Lavender, Windsor Davies and Don Estelle!), Not Now, Comrade is packed to the brim with mistaken identities, assumed names, extreme confusion, double-takes and triple entendres! It is presented here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio. Rudi, the highly-strung star of a Russian ballet company, defects to the West. Or, at least, he tries to. Unable to reach safety and pursued by the KGB, he takes refuge with a passing stripper named Barbara. From that point onwards his plans go somewhat downhill!!

• Annie | DVD | (11/12/2000) from £8.74   |  Saving you £7.24 (125.91%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Though it's not in the same league as the classic screen musicals, Annie's heartwarming rags-to-riches storyline, social comment (shallow as it may be) and catchy songs make for an entertaining and unpretentious 90 minutes' viewing. Aileen Quinn is the irrepressible titular orphan, by no means as irritating as she looks in the cover picture; Albert Finney is Oliver Warbucks, the tyrannical tycoon (with a hidden heart of gold, of course) who adopts her for a week in the interests of good PR. The real show-stopper, though, is Carol Burnett as the gin-soaked harpy Miss Hannigan, ruling with an iron fist over an orphanage full of unruly girls, flirting with every man in sight and eventually scheming with her unscrupulous brother (Tim Curry) to kidnap Annie and reap a fat Warbucks reward cheque. While the songs--including "Tomorrow", "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" and "It's a Hard Knock Life"--are excellent, the kids' voices are shrill and the production pretty low-rent: Annie is very obviously a stage show brought to screen on a low budget. But while it lacks the polish that make the Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe musicals so special, it's funny and sweet and has a rough charm all its own. On the DVD: The film is presented in widescreen, preserving its original 2.35:1 aspect, and is enhanced for 16:9 widescreen TVs; the soundtrack is Dolby surround, though as noted above the music score is relatively rough and ready so top-notch sound isn't actually as important as it would be in other musicals. The extras are pretty disappointing--an uninspired interactive menu features only the obligatory multi-language subtitles, (very) short biographies of the key cast members, a few publicity cards and posters, the theatrical trailer and--most interestingly--an isolated musical score. No commentary from director John Huston, no documentaries, nothing about the 1930s cartoon strip that was, apparently, one of the most popular of its day. There's actually more information in the accompanying booklet than there is on the disc. --Rikki Price

• Poor Cow | DVD | (13/10/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Young mother Joy (Carol White) is forced to fend for herself when her brutal and uncaring husband Tom (John Bindon) is put in jail. Joy finds brief happiness with Tom's criminal associate Dave (Terence Stamp) who proves kind and gentle when she moves in with him but this relationship ends when he is also jailed and Joy is left to raise her young son alone in squalid circumstances. Poor Cow is a poignant controversial slice of raw social realism and in true Loach style is an imaginative exploration of the thin line separating fiction and real-life.

• Scrooged | DVD | (04/12/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Most critics couldn't get behind Bill Murray's modern retelling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, finding it too unfocused at times and not nearly wicked enough. Still, if you are a Murray fan, you have to enjoy his deliciously nasty portrayal of the world's meanest TV executive, who has his cathartic moment one cold Christmas night in New York City. The various ghosts lead him on a ghost-town tour of Manhattan, with stops at holidays past, present and future and a Kumbaya moment when Al Green and Annie Lennox sing "Put a Little Love in Your Heart". The effects are otherworldly, but one wishes the writing were as sharp as Murray's edgy portrayal. --Marshall Fine
