"Actor: David Haye"

• Hotel | DVD | (07/04/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  In this eccentric motion picture Hotel the all star cast checks into a Venetian Hotel for a film shoot. They soon have to find out that when invited for dinner - They are being served! Genius filmmaker Mike Figgis brings together a dazzling all-star cast in this story of dark sexual intrigue where no one is quite what they seem and the staff are more in control than the guests. A film crew arrives at a beautiful Venetian hotel to film a version of the classic tragedy The Dutchess of Malfi. When the director is put out of commission the producer must take over and that's when cannibals and vampires start picking off the film crew and guests. Hotel becomes one place you do not want to check in alone.

• Abbott And Costello - Laugh-A-Thon | DVD | (21/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Abbott & Costello Classic Comedies three-disc collector's set consists of oddments from the latter days of their career that have fallen into public domain; which means you don't get their best routines or classiest productions, and indeed find the double act doing fairly tired schtick as Costello is chubbily chicken-hearted and Abbott grumpily money-grubbing. Africa Screams is a 1949 safari parody, with Costello running away yelping from sundry alligators, gorillas (including a Kong-sized giant), cannibals ("Chief have sweet tooth for little fat man") and lions amid backlot jungles as Abbott competes with stock villains for a fortune in diamonds. Jack and the Beanstalk, from 1952, finds the duo attempting to sell themselves as children's entertainers in a Wizard of Oz-influenced fairytale book-ended by sepia modern-day segments. The magical story unfolds in wonderfully gruesome cheap colour with some of the worst musical numbers ever committed to film ("he's perpendicular-la-la") as Jack the Clod (Costello) and Mr Dinkelpuss the Butcher (Abbott) climb the beanstalk and plod around the Giant's lair until the story runs out. Possibly the most interesting item is the third disc, which offers an episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour (aka The Abbott and Costello Show) from the 1950s. It shows the pair doing live routines closer to their original vaudeville act than their film roles (including an amazingly cruel bit in which Abbott slaps Costello every time he says the word "tin"). A loose plot about Latin American intrigue, with Lou hired to stand in for an assassination target "El Presidente", makes room for speciality guest stars ranging from child xylophonist Baby Mistin to four starlets (including Jane Russell and Rhonda Fleming) harmonising on a "Happy Easter" medley. Best of all, and now funnier than the comedy, are original hard-sell ads for household products like "Ajax, the foaming action cleanser" and "Halo, the shampoo that glorifies your hair". --Kim Newman

• Jack and the Beanstalk | DVD | (10/08/2009) from £10.78   |  Saving you £-2.79 (N/A%)   |  RRP £7.99

  Abbott & Costello star in this version of Jack and the Beanstalk. After a modern prologue in monochrome Bud and Lou adapt their usual sharpie-and-patsy roles to colorful fairytale settings and Buddy Baer is an excellent foil as the fearsome giant. (Listen for cartoon-voice Mel Blanc playing several roles in the I Fear Nothing song.) Makes a fabulous children's matinee.
