• Communion | DVD | (24/09/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  When Whitley Strieber's bestselling book Communion--quickly followed by this film adaptation--posited the notion of alien abduction, it did so to an eager audience who had yet to be bombarded with similar scenarios by The X-Files. Although somewhat eccentric in his general behaviour already, "Whit" (Christopher Walken) becomes ever stranger as he is gripped by increasing paranoia. One night at his family's country cabin he was unaccountably "visited". It's hard not to be as confused and frightened as he is when viewing the apparent corroborating evidence: recurring dreams, fleeting images, shadowy masked faces, vague comments from his young son and the occasional splitting headache. One of the strong points of Strieber's tale has always been the trepidation with which he approached it. The doctor's appointments and plucking up the courage to be hypnotised all offer a genuine reaction to inexplicable circumstance, and this is aided enormously by one of Walken's most mesmerising performances. He's well supported by Lindsay Crouse as his wife, Joel Carson as a thankfully believable yet cute son and an ambiguous musical theme from Eric Clapton. On the DVD: Given that a Region 1 Special Edition exists, this is a disappointing bare-bones DVD transfer. The picture is in full-screen 4:3 and the sound in Dolby 2.0 Stereo. The only extras are a few pages of filmography for director Philippe Mora, Christopher Walken, Lindsay Crouse and Frances Sternhagen. --Paul Tonks

• Lansky | DVD | (17/02/2003) from £12.98   |  Saving you £-6.99 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Meyer Lansky was an enigma. Few knew him. Many feared him. He was passionately loyal to his friends and ruthless towards his enemies. He was calm and calculating. He seemed above reproach. Lansky is based on the true story of a young Jewish immigrant from Poland who grew up on the impoverished streets of the Lower East Side of New York at the turn of the 20th Century. Turning his back on poverty Lansky (Richard Dreyfuss) embarked on a life of crime. He monopolised racketeering bootlegging gambling and organised crime with a keeness of mind and shrewdness never before seen. Partnered with his childhood friend Ben Bugsy Siegel (Eric Roberts) and young Italian street thug Charlie Lucky Luciano (Anthony LaPaglia) Lansky earned notoriety that eventually made him the object of several FBI investigations and congressional hearings. Directed by John McNaughton this HBO production is a fascinating tale of loyalty and deception innocence and guilt crime and murder.

  If ever there has been a video that captures the essense of modern carp fishing this is it. This is purely about the fishing. We've followed some of the best names in the business as they set about doing what they do best: catching carp. Carpwise volume 5 is set in the UK and you are invited to share the success of Ian Russell Tim Paisley Derek Ritchie Lee Jackson Richard 'Cash' Farnan and Dave Elliot. Follow them as they go about a serious carping session. You visit Dinton Pastures Yateley Pads Lake Birch Grove and some exclusive private syndicate waters. We tap into their methods tactics and general attitudes behind setting out specifically for big carp in the UK. Contains footage of Lee Jackson's UK record. Carpwise volume 6 is set in France at the prestigious A la Carp fishery. Follow Ian Russell Richard Gardner Ron Buss and Dave Elliot through a week of fantastic action where a good number of large carp (to 46lb) are put on the bank. This session really captures the essense of what foreign carping can offfer. A la Carp has a distinct 'English' feel about it and the session goes some way in proving to anybody who has been reluctant to venture fishing abroad how enjoyable the experience can be.
