• Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (Special Edition) | DVD | (02/06/2003) from £9.98   |  Saving you £15.01 (150.40%)   |  RRP £24.99

  The most popular movie in the "classic Trek" series of feature films, Star Trek IV was a box-office smash that satisfied mainstream audiences and hard-core fans alike. The Voyage Home returns to one of the favourite themes of the original TV series--time travel--to bring Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura and Chekov from the 23rd century to present-day (i.e., mid-1980s) San Francisco. In their own time, the Starfleet heroes encounter an alien probe emitting a mysterious message--a message delivered in the song of the now-extinct Earth species of humpback whales. Failure to respond to the probe will result in Earth's destruction, so Kirk and company time-travel to 20th-century Earth--in their captured Klingon starship--to transport a humpback whale to the future in an effort to communicate peacefully with the alien probe. The plot sounds somewhat absurd in description, but as executed by returning director Leonard Nimoy, this turned out to be a crowd-pleasing adventure, filled with a great deal of humour derived from the clash of future heroes and contemporary urban realities, and much lively interaction among the favourite Trek characters. Catherine Hicks plays the 20th-century whale expert who is finally convinced of Kirk's and Spock's benevolent intentions. --Jeff Shannon

• Prime Suspect | DVD | (12/05/2003) from £7.98   |  Saving you £2.01 (25.19%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The first Prime Suspect introduces Helen Mirren's detective chief inspector Jane Tennison, the only female DCI on an old boy's club London homicide squad. She is like a phantom lurking around the edges of the action while the men rush through their latest murder case, joshing and winking with the kind of male camaraderie the cop genre has celebrated for decades. When DCI Shefford dies of a sudden heart attack, Tennison demands to take over. Despite her superintendent's resistance ("Give her this case and she'll start expecting more"), she becomes the squad's first woman to head a murder investigation. Scrutinised at every moment by her superior officers, Tennison is faced with a case that spirals out from a single murder to a serial spree, a second-in-command who undermines her authority and her investigation at every turn, a team resistant to taking orders from a woman and a private life unravelling due to her professional diligence. Lynda La Plante's script is a compelling thriller riddled with ambiguity that turns dead ends, blind alleys, and the mundane legwork of real-life cops into fascinating details. Mirren commands the role of Tennison with authority, intelligence, and a touch of overachieving desperation. Superb performances, excellent writing, and understated direction make this BBC miniseries one of the most involving mysteries in years. Look for future stars Ralph Fiennes and Tom Wilkinson in supporting roles. --Sean Axmaker

  Titles comprise: The Desperate Trail: Amiable con man Jack Cooper (Craig Sheffer) is on a westbound stagecoach headed for the next batch of suckers who will mistake them for an easy mark. Fiery Sarah O'Rourke (Linda Fiorentino) rides the same coach handcuffed to lawman Bill Speakes (Sam Elliott) and headed for the hangman. In a few hours all should reach their destinations. But the trail they travel takes an unexpected turn: Cooper and O'Rourke are soon off the stage and running for their lives. The law ends and the chase beings in a very alive tale of wanted-dead-or-alive fugitives pursued by a marshal who's a law unto himself. Jeremiah Johnson: Soured by civilisation Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) sets out in the mid-1800's to be a mountain man seeking solitude in a wilderness whose purity he never questioned. His first Rocky Mountain winter almost kills him. Starving and nearly frozen he finds refuge with a wily old trapper (Will Geer) whose survival teaching includes going eyeball to eyeball with a grizzly. The Cowboys: After his cowhands desert him for a nearby gold rush ageing leather-tough rancher Will Anderson (John Wayne) resorts to hiring 11 schoolboys to help him on a 400-mile cattle run. Setting off with the boys and an eloquent but equally tough black cook (Roscoe Lee Browne) Anderson must get his cattle to their destination while contending with the wilderness and a psychotic vengeful ex-con (Bruce Dern) who is out to get him.

• The Rock | DVD | (11/06/2001) from £11.15   |  Saving you £10.10 (102.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Between his high-octane debut, Bad Boys, and 1998's wannabe blockbuster Armageddon, hotshot director Michael Bay forged his dubious reputation with this crowd-pleasing action extravaganza. In Rock, a psychotically disgruntled war hero (Ed Harris) seizes the island prison of Alcatraz and threatens to wage chemical warfare against nearby San Francisco unless the government publicly recognises the men who were killed under Harris's top-secret command. Nicolas Cage plays the biochemist who teams up with the only man ever to have escaped from Alcatraz (Sean Connery) in an attempt to foil Harris's terrorist scheme. As one might expect, what follows is an action-packed barrage of bullets, bodies, and climactic confrontations, replete with enough plot contrivances to give even the most jaded action fan cause for alarm. It's a load of hooey, but the cast is obviously having a grand old time, and there's enough wit to make the recycled action sequences tolerable. --Jeff Shannon

• A Time To Love And A Time To Die (Masters of Cinema) (Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (23/09/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Douglas Sirk - the master of the Hollywood melodrama - turns back to his native Germany at the time of the Second World War for the film that would stand as his penultimate American feature: A Time to Love and a Time to Die. A CinemaScope production staged on a grand scale Sirk's picture nevertheless pulsates with an intimacy that has known longing for too long and seethes with the repression of emotions poised to explode like bombs. John Gavin plays Ernst Gräber a soldier on the Russian-German Front in 1944 venturing home to Hamburg on a rare furlough. Upon arrival he discovers a city that bears little resemblance to the one he left behind - and so through the rubble of the air-raids he searches desperately for fragments of his family's shattered lives. But amid the shards he falls in love with Elisabeth (Liselotte Pulver) the charming daughter of his parents' doctor and thus activates a magnetism that compels both individuals toward one another in love even as it hurtles them headlong into epochal death. Adapted from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque (the author of All Quiet on the Western Front who also makes a cameo appearance in Sirk's picture) A Time to Love and a Time to Die takes its literary source and sculpts it anew out of matter made from color decor and performance - and arguably bests the novel on all aesthetic levels. Yet perhaps nothing can better summarise the power of Sirk's film - or of his entire body of work - than these words from the movie's trailer: Their pounding hearts drowned out the sound of chaos thundering around them. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Douglas Sirk's 1958 masterpiece for the first time on Blu-ray anywhere in the world. Special Features: Gorgeous 1080p presentation of the film in its original 2:35:1 CinemaScope aspect ratio English SDH subtitles for the hearing impaired Optional isolated music and effects track Of Tears and Speed: According To Jean-Luc Godard - a 12-minute visually annotated recitation of Jean-Luc Godard's seminal essay on Sirk's film 19-minute video interview with Wesley Strick screenwriter of Scorsese's Cape Fear and author of the novel Out There in the Dark a roman-à-clef based upon Sirk's life in Hollywood and his relationship with the estranged son who took a starring role in Hitler Youth propaganda. Imitation Of Life [Mirage Of Life]: A Portrait Of Douglas Sirk - a 49-minute film portrait from 1984 directed by Daniel Schmid and photographed by Renato Berta of Douglas Sirk and his wife Hilda in conversation and reflecting from their apartment in Germany back upon their lives in Hollywood The original trailer for the film from the time it retained the provisional title of simply A Time to Love 36-page booklet containing the complete text of Jean-Luc Godard's essay on the film writings from critic Tag Gallagher on the film and Sirk's career in general and an assemblage of notes that includes excerpts from Sirk's reflections upon the film remarks upon visual motifs inside the movie the CinemaScope process used to photograph the picture and more.
