• The Founding of America (6 DVD Box Set) | DVD | (31/05/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Review for Founding Brothers:The political wrangles of a fledgling country may sound dull compared to the drama of a war, but the early history of the United States only gets more fascinating as the Revolutionary War is left behind. Founding Brothers, a documentary from the History Channel, examines the struggle to not only establish democracy, but to give it the economic strength and governmental structure that will allow it to survive and thrive. George Washington grappled not only with politics, but with questions of style and propriety--how should a president, as opposed to a king, behave? Understanding the conflicts between Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson will illuminate ideas that have shaped the government of the U.S. ever since. Founding Brothers provides a wealth of portraits and illustrations from the time, as well as discreet dramatizations, that bring the rise of party politics to life, humanizing these historical figures with tales of the scandals and squabbles they faced as well as their political achievements. An excellent introduction to the roots of the American experiment, and a bracing illustration of what Jefferson meant when he said of the presidency, "No man will bring out of that office the reputation which carried him into it." --Bret Fetzer

But for those few who hear its siren song, it exerts a pull that cannot be denied. As we remember the 100th anniversary of Scott’s doomed expedition to become the first man to reach the South Pole, Antarctica: A Frozen History takes a look back at those who have tried, failed and conquered this most unforgiving landscape. Scott reached the South Pole in January 1912 only to find he had been beaten to the spot by 33 days. His entire party died on the return journey; eight months later, a search party discovered some of their bodies, diaries and photographs. We'll cross the continent in the footsteps of legendary explorers like Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton, tracing the routes of their journeys and visiting the sites forever transformed by their presence. Explore the remote glaciers, frozen bays and otherworldly landscapes of this extraordinary continent, which is unlikely to ever surrender its title as the most desolate place on Earth.

• The Cat's Meow | DVD | (02/11/2015) from £9.89   |  Saving you £0.10 (1.01%)   |  RRP £9.99

  A Hollywood scandal springs to life in Peter Bogdanovich's lively Cat's Meow. In 1924 the immensely powerful publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst held a yacht party that ended with a gunshot. Between Hearst's influence and that of his glitterati guests (including Louella Parsons and Charlie Chaplin), no satisfying account of what happened ever made it to the public. The Cat's Meow reconstructs one of the more whispered-about possible scenarios and has quite a bit of fun doing so. Cast and crew alike skewer 1920s Hollywood decadence and, by extension, today's. Eddie Izzard is a boldly odd casting choice as Chaplin, but he succeeds, refusing to fall back on Little Tramp mannerisms. There are several other good performances, but best of all is the cool-as-sherbet Joanna Lumley as the deliciously jaded Elinor Glyn. The script is a strong one, never stooping to the excesses of its characters--Bogdanovich's take is far from the most lurid allegations of what happened that weekend. --Ali Davis
