  Fans and critics are hailing this outrageous all-star satire which bravely tackles Los Angeles' devastating riots that erupted after the Rodney King beating verdict -- a subject most filmmakers wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole! As funny as it is thought-provoking this gloriously politically incorrect comedy reenacts the videotaped beating and continues through the police officers' trial and the destructive aftermath. The film riffs on the city's explosive ethnic and social tensions skewers the media's hunger for higher ratings and digs into the hypocrisy of the Los Angeles Police Department.

  Flatt & Scruggs are one of the two or three most respected and most popular bluegrass bands of all time. Along with Bill Monroe they propelled this great style into a widely successful and artistically praised musical format. They left a legacy of wonderful recordings made in the 1950s and 1960s on both Columbia and Mercury and were star attractions on the Grand Ole Opry for many years. Earl Scruggs together with Bill Monroe helped create the whole style of bluegrass. His highly influential new banjo style was the single most important factor in defining bluegrass and almost all other banjo players immediately jumped on his bandwagon as did almost all new players for the next 50 years! The performances in these DVDs showcase Flatt & Scruggs in their prime with their group the Foggy Mountain Boys playing many of their most famous songs as well as many other bluegrass classics.

• Xena - Warrior Princess - 2.25 / 2.26 / 2.27 - Orphan Of War / Remember Nothing / Giant Killer | DVD | (17/04/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Xena--you gotta love her: after all, she could snap your neck just by straightening her knees. She sprang fully armed from Sam Raimi's head in March 1995, to flesh out an otherwise routine episode of the television series Hercules, a 5' 10" high-kicking, horse-riding, chakram-throwing ancient-Greek-warrior princess, who mustered armies the way some women shop for shoes, turning heroes against one another as gleefully as she laid waste to sweet little villages.Except that somewhere beneath that straight dark fringe and hard-boiled leather breastplate lurk doubts, feelings, even a soul. She was so popular on Hercules her spin-off was an instant certainty--and pretty soon the subtext of her own series was unfolding. Xena is on journey from evil to good, but this can only be enabled via the companionship of bossy redhead scribe/bard Gabrielle, her constant companion. Set in a lush New Zealand doubling for the pagan Mediterranean, as misruled by Ares, Aphrodite, Poseidon and the rest of the Mount Olympus gang, Xena: Warrior Princess recounts these exploits, as the duo confront gods, monsters, warlords, idiots and anachronisms, as well as their own flaws and desires, at the hilarious and sometimes unsettling mythological cross-roads where touchy-feelly Californian feminism meets high-camp chop-socky pantheism seasoned with the Way of Peplum Tao. --Honey GlassIn the second series (first aired US 1996-97) Xena and Gabrielle (plus goofy side-sidekick the Joxer) meet the Fates, the (surprisingly Gothic) Bacchae, Ulysses, Cupid, Goliath, Santa Claus and (perhaps) the baby Jesus, as well as full-on Xena foe Julius Caesar and her former healer-mentor M'Lila. While filming this series, Xena actress Lucy Lawless was thrown by a horse on Tonight with Jay Leno, and injured: hence a sudden slew of swapped-body stories (Callisto, Autolycus and Gabrielle each have to mimic Xena for an episode), while domestic comedy and/or parody stories contribute to the medically advisable action-lite plot lines. Meanwhile, Callisto murders Gabrielle's hubby-to-be, and the narrative tension deepens. --Honey Glass
