• The Joe Louis Story | DVD | (15/03/2004) from £12.99   |  Saving you £-8.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  A biopic of one of the first true greats of boxing in the 20th century this film is interspersed with footage from the real Joe Louis in action. The fact that Louis is treated on equal par with the white characters in the story led to the film being banned in certain parts of southern America when originally released!

• Inspector Morse - Disc 17 And 18 - Fat Chance / Who Killed Harry Field | DVD | (15/07/2002) from £10.93   |  Saving you £4.06 (37.15%)   |  RRP £14.99

  When Inspector Morse first appeared on television in 1987, nobody could have predicted that it would run into the next century, maintaining throughout a quality of scripts and story lines that raised the genre of the detective series to a new level. Much of its success can be attributed to John Thaw's total immersion in the role. Morse is a prickly character and not obviously easy to like. As a detective in Oxford with unfulfilled academic propensities, he is permanently excluded from a world of which he would dearly love to be a part. He is at odds with that world--and with his colleagues in the police force--most of the time. Passionate about opera and "proper beer", he is a cultural snob for whom vulgarity causes almost physical pain. As a result, he lives from one disillusionment to another. And he is scarred--more deeply than he would ever admit--by past relationships. But he also has a naïve streak and, deep-down sensitivity, which makes him a fascinating challenge for women. At the heart of Morse's professional life is his awkward partnership with Detective Sergeant Lewis, the resolutely ordinary, worldly sidekick who manages to keep his boss in an almost permanent state of exasperation while retaining his grudging respect. It's a testament to Kevin Whateley's consistently excellent performance that from such unpromising material, Lewis becomes as indispensable to the series as Barrington Pheloung's hypnotic, classic theme music. Morse's investigations do occasionally take him abroad to more exotic locations, but throughout 14 successful years of often gruesome murders, the city of Oxford itself became a central character in these brooding two-hour dramas: creator Colin Dexter stating he finally had to kill Morse off because he was giving Oxford a bad reputation as a dangerous place! --Piers Ford

• Goldeneye | DVD | (04/11/2002) from £20.98   |  Saving you £-0.99 (-5.00%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the first time in Goldeneye, the 17th entry in the series. Brosnan looks a little light on the big screen under any circumstances, and he does take some getting used to as 007. But this busy film keeps him hopping as freelance terrorists from the former Soviet Union get their hands on super-high-tech weapons. The film's challenge is to bring free-spirited Bond up to date in the age of AIDS and in the aftermath of the cold war: director Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro) succeeds on both counts with a cheeky hint of irony. The best moment in the film is a chase scene that finds Bond tearing up the streets of Moscow in a tank. But Brosnan's most interesting contributions are reminiscent of the dark streak that occasionally showed up in Sean Connery's Bond. --Tom Keogh

• Back To Bataan | DVD | (25/04/2005) from £10.92   |  Saving you £-0.93 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  In 'Back To Bataan' John Wayne plays Colonel Joe Madden a rough tough officer serving under General MacArthur during the Second World War. When American forces are forced to pull out of Bataan Madden volunteers to stay behind and organize the Filipino residents into a top flight guerilla force that will keep the Japanese on edge until MacArthur's promised return. There's some romance amid the suspense and sweaty action as an attractive Manila resistance liason (Fely Franquelli) falls for Wayne's second-in-command Captain Andres Bonifacio (Anthony Quinn) an earnest fighter trying to live up to his folk hero father's reputation. Madden however is too busy for women preferring to spend his time communicating by radio to his valiant men as they count the boats and plant the mines. The Duke is nicely understated in this atypical role a nice counterbalance to costar Quinn's typically impassioned performance. War film buffs should enjoy the film's appealing blend of action nail-biting suspense and jingoistic patriotism. Director Edward Dmytryk would later go on to direct 'The Caine Mutiny' and 'The Young Lions'.

• Macbeth | DVD | (15/09/2008) from £12.98   |  Saving you £1.01 (7.78%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Andrea Gruber Roberto Aronica and Lado Ataneli star in Verdi's early operatic masterpiece Macbeth - filmed live at the Metropolitan Opera in High-definition. EMI Classics continues its collaboration with the Metropolitan Opera with a new production of Verdi's richly haunting opera Macbeth as part of this season's 'Metropolitan Opera : Live in High-Definition series'. For the first time in 20-years the Metropolitan Opera presents the first of Verdi's three operas based on Shakespeare in a stylistically eclectic grimly effective and at times intriguingly playful production (New York Times) by English director Adrian Noble making his Met debut. At the time of composition Macbeth was unique. Not only was it considered both musically and dramatically bold but it was the first opera that can truly be described as Shakespearean. It was the first that altered operatic conventions to serve the play rather than converting the play into traditional operatic formulas. After 35 highly successful years as Music director of the Metropolitan Opera a relationship unparalleled and unique in the musical world today James Levine conducts Verdi's haunting score with tension and a type of brutality that this chilling work commands.
