• The Survivors | DVD | (15/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  At the height of urban paranoia and the birth of survivalist movement in the 1980s, director Michael Ritchie decided to team Robin Williams and Walter Matthau in The Survivors. Talk about an odd couple; yet it actually might have worked, with Matthau's hang-dog deadpan and Williams' manic energy, were it not for a limp script by Michael Leeson. Williams and Matthau play two victims of Reaganomics, unemployed acquaintances who witness a robbery and identify one of the participants to the police, an act that turns them into targets for the robber in question who comes looking for them. Williams' response: become a one-man arsenal and join a training camp for militant survivalists. But the comedy is neither sharp enough nor sufficiently smart to pull it off; Matthau is the calm centre while Williams' comedy rockets all around him, to surprisingly little effect. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

• Great Expectations | DVD | (25/02/2013) from £7.97   |  Saving you £2.02 (20.20%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The key ingredient in this modern-day version of Charles Dickens's classic is director Alfonso Cuarón, who made the glowing, estimable A Little Princess. If you saw that (and you should), understand that Expectations has those ingredients (great sense of time, place, and timing) but adds modern music and sex appeal; the latter personified by the long-legged Gwyneth Paltrow. Finnegan Bell (Ethan Hawke as an adult, Jeremy James Kissner at age 10) is the new version of Dickens's Pip. He's a child wise beyond his years, befriending an escaped convict (Robert De Niro) in the warm waters of Florida's Gulf Coast. Finn is also the plaything for Estella (Paltrow as an adult, Raquel Beaudene at age 10), the niece of the coast's richest and most eccentric lady, Ms. Dinsmoor (a fun and flamboyant Anne Bancroft). The prudish Estella likes Finn (catch the best first kiss scene in many a moon) but has been brought up to disdain men; she'll break hearts. As the object of Finn's desires, Estella unfortunately is a one-dimensional character, yet what a dimension! Clad in Donna Karan dresses and her long, sun-kissed hair, Paltrow is luminous. She and Hawke make a very sexy couple. Mitch Glazer's script does better by Finn. He's a blue-collar worker with a gift for drawing (artwork by Francesco Clemente). Following his Uncle Joe's (Chris Cooper) honest ways, Finn grows up as a fisherman, thoughts of Estella and art drifting away in the hard work. When a mysterious benefactor allows him to follow his dream, Finn finds himself in New York, preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime art exhibit--and in the arms of the engaged Estella. Filled with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's golden-drenched light, the film has an irresistible, wildly romantic look. Dinsmoor's place is certainly gothic, Estella and Finn's longing encounters glamorous. Cuarón uses an MTV-friendly soundtrack with a confident touch. Songs by Tori Amos and the band Pulp--along with Patrick Doyle's silky score--create passionate scenes. It all ends far too swiftly with a seemingly tacked-on ending (reflecting the book, as it happens) but the film is splendid storytelling. It's a stylish, sweet valentine. --Doug Thomas

• Tommy Cooper - The Very Best Of | DVD | (05/11/2001) from £9.24   |  Saving you £3.75 (40.58%)   |  RRP £12.99

  There are probably more Tommy Cooper video recordings available than there were Tommy Cooper performances. This one is as good as any, but then theyre pretty much all as good as each other. Tommy Cooper, once we figured out what it was about him that made people laugh, rarely deviated from his formula. There are a few examples of him doing that here, venturing into set-piece sketches these mostly have the effect of making the viewer wish hed just put the funny hat back on and carry on doing tricks that didnt work. This was always where Cooper was at his best: making a triumphant virtue of his ineptitude. That he was a supremely hopeless magician is well established, but what is often forgotten is that by the conventional standards of stand-up comedy, he wasnt much good at that either. His punchlines were agonising and, once you became attuned to the dynamics of his set-ups and pay-offs, breathtakingly predictable ("I stopped a man and said Can you give me a lift? He said Yes, youre young, the worlds your oyster, go for it," and so on and so on and so on). For all that, indeed because of that, Cooper was one of the funniest men ever caught on camera: he invited audiences to laugh at him, and he laughed with them while they did so. On the DVD: The sketch selection option is neatly laid out, with a still frame from each one to act as a visual cue. There is also a biography of Cooper, which wont tell many fans much they didnt already know, and a "Gag Book" (a selection of his jokes as scripts), which is a nice touch. --Andrew Muller

• Hot Pursuit | DVD | (14/06/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  The one film in John Cusack's filmography he'd probably like us all to forget, this 80s-style preppy-in-peril film (compare and contrast with After Hours and Something Wild) casts him as a college student who gets mixed up with pirates and drug runners around the Caribbean. The wannabe screwball comedy falls flatter with each gag but Cusack's hang-dog sweetness and knack with one-liners carries it through and at the very least it's worth catching if only for a glimpse of Ben Stiller in his pre-There's Something About Mary fame days, in a double act here with his real-life father Jerry Stiller. --Leslie Felperin
