  Titles Comprise: Lolita: Humbert is smitten. He plans to marry Charlotte Haze. That way he'll always be close to his dear one - Charlotte's precocious daughter!

James Mason plays devious deluded Humbert: wedded to needy Charlotte (Shelley Winters); rivaled by the ubiquitous Clare Quilty (chameleonlike Peter Sellers); and enraptured to his gelatinous core by the blithe teen (Sue Lyon) with that lovely lyrical lilting name - Lolita!

Nick's beautiful wife Cora (Lana Turner) persuades her lover Frank to join her in a plot to kill her husband but events spin out of control as the suspense builds in this tale of lust and immorality... Dangerous Liaisons: The game of conquest is underway. Anything goes when a predatory wealthy widow (Glenn Close) challenges a notorious rake (John Malkovich) to seduce a beautiful young newlywed (Michelle Pfeiffer). But this time a cardinal rule will be broken: two players will fall in love - with tragic results. This acclaimed winner of three Academy Awards boasts grand 18th century without missing a beat.

• X-Men 1.5/X-Men 2: 4 disc doublepack | DVD | (10/11/2003) from £7.72   |  Saving you £30.26 (639.75%)   |  RRP £34.99

  X-Men 2 picks up almost directly where X-Men left off: misguided super-villain Magneto (Ian McKellen) is still a prisoner of the US government, heroic bad-boy Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is up in Canada investigating his mysterious origin, and the events at Liberty Island (which occurred at the conclusion of X-Men) have prompted a rethink in official policy towards mutants--the proposed Mutant Registration Act has been shelved by US Congress. Into this scenario pops wealthy former army commander William Stryker, a man with the President's ear and a personal vendetta against all mutant-kind in general, and the X-Men's leader Professor X (Patrick Stewart) in particular. Once he sets his plans in motion, the X-Men must team-up with their former enemies Magneto and Mystique (Rebecca Romjin-Stamos), as well as some new allies (including Alan Cumming's gregarious, blue-skinned German mutant, Nightcrawler). The phenomenal global success of X-Men meant that director Bryan Singer had even more money to spend on its sequel, and it shows. Not only is the script better (there's significantly less cheesy dialogue than the original), but the action and effects are also even more stupendous--from Nightcrawler's teleportation sequence through the White House to a thrilling aerial dogfight featuring mutants-vs-missiles to a military assault on the X-Men's school/headquarters to the final showdown at Stryker's sub-Arctic headquarters. Yet at no point do the effects overtake the film or the characters. Moreso than the original, this is an ensemble piece, allowing each character in its even-bigger cast at least one moment in the spotlight (in fact, the cast credits don't even run until the end of the film). And that, perhaps, is part of its problem (though it's a slight one): with so much going on, and nary a recap of what's come before, it's a film that could prove baffling to anyone who missed the first instalment. But that's just a minor quibble--X-Men 2 is that rare thing, a sequel that's actually superior to its predecessor. --Robert Burrow

• Sir John Tavener - Choral Ikons | DVD | (11/10/2002) from £16.89   |  Saving you £3.10 (15.50%)   |  RRP £19.99

  John Tavener has described his works as being like "Ikons in sound" and so it's a neat idea to bring visuals and music together in Choral Ikons. The driving creative force behind his music is his Orthodox Christian faith, and he talks eloquently about it and his belief in universality in the documentary "Manifestations of God". He also discusses the "muses beyond the grave" who gave their names to his Song for Athene and A Parting Gift for Tam Farrow, and offers some fascinating comments on William Blake (two of whose poems are set here). It's an illuminating glimpse into the mind of this erudite, yet musically approachable figure. The musical performances themselves, by James Whitbourne's small (14-voice) choir, are extremely compelling. They were recorded in the epic, arching spaces of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul (in its time a church, then mosque and now museum). Highlights include the sustained and enthralling The Hymn of the Unwaning Light and the simple but memorable The Lord's Prayer. Unfortunately, visually the presentation is a mess, with an overload of technological trickery. This ranges from the irritating ruse of fading in and out single singers against a backdrop of frescoes and Blake paintings to the virtual reconstruction of how the Hagia Sophia might have looked in the sixth century, complete with Byzantine lighting. The result looks cheap, reminiscent of the crude graphics of early computer games. But if you can get over that obstacle you're in for an aural treat. On the DVD: Choral Ikons on disc includes Tavener's own commentary, plus a 12-minute introduction to Ikon painting (in Dutch with subtitles) by Robert J Roozemond, director of the Ikon Museum in The Hague. It's fascinating and strangely moving, which pretty much sums up the appeal of this issue. The disc is region-free and comes with Dolby surround or LPCM stereo options and impressively sharp 16:9 anamorphic picture. There are optional subtitles in English, French, German and Spanish. A user-friendly booklet includes comments from Tavener, the virtual reality designers and background information. --Harriet Smith

• Spider-Man / Hellboy / Hulk | DVD | (03/10/2005) from £5.99   |  Saving you £14.00 (233.72%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Spider-Man (Dir. Sam Raimi 2002): Peter Parker (Maguire) was a shy quite nerdy teenager...until he was bitten by a genetically altered spider. Now with the heightened senses and incredible strengths and abilities of a spider Parker has become the amazing Spider-Man! Hellboy (Dir. Guillermo del Toro 2004): In the final days of World War II the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where an occult ceremony is taking place but not before a demon Hellboy has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces Hellboy (Perlman) eventually grows to adulthood under the supervision of his adopted 'father' Trevor Bruttenholm (Hurt) serving the cause of good rather than evil. When the powerful and evil Nazi figure who unleashed Hellboy suddenly reappears in modern times he discovers that Hellboy is now working as a paranormal investigator at a secret U.S. government agency dedicated to protecting humanity from the forces of darkness. Now Hellboy must fight to prevent the destruction of mankind... Dark Horse Comic's popular cult superhero Hellboy makes the leap from the comic book pages to the big screen with Ron Perlman the only actor considered charismatic enough to carry the role of the blood-red demon cutting a cigar-chomping dash aided by the prosthetic work of 6-time Oscar winning make-up artist Rick Baker. The Hulk (Dir. Ang Lee 2003): Scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) has to put it mildly anger management issues. His quiet life as a brilliant researcher working with cutting edge genetic technology conceals a nearly forgotten and painful past. His ex-girlfriend and equally brilliant fellow researcher Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly) has tired of Bruce's cordoned off emotional terrain and resigns herself to remaining an interested onlooker to his quiet life. Which is exactly where Betty finds herself during one of the early trials in Banner's groundbreaking research. A simple oversight leads to an explosive situation and Bruce makes a split-second decision; his heroic impulse saves a life and leaves him apparently unscathed-his body absorbing a normally deadly dose of gamma radiation. Acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmaker Ang Lee turns his masterful eye to adapting the classic Marvel Comics character for the big screen. Setting out to faithfully transfer the Hulk comic book character from four-color paneled page to motion picture screen Lee combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. Staying true to the early subversive spirit of the Hulk as envisioned by its creators (Stan Lee and Jack Kirby) while also tuning the tale to current dangerous times Lee presents a portrait of a man at war with himself and the world both a superhero and a monster a means of wish fulfillment and a nightmare...
