• The Legend of Marilyn Monroe | DVD | (22/08/2005) from £19.80   |  Saving you £-13.81 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  In this excellent documentary the legendary Marilyn Monroe is brought to life in an expos of one of the screen's most iconic stars. Ever since her untimely death the whole case has been shrouded in mystery and this DVD seeks to unlock some of the secrets of the real Marilyn. With interviews from Dean Martin Shelley Winters and many more we try to understand what her innermost feelings were in the time leading up to her sad demise. From the dysfunctional life she suffered throughout her early years to the blossoming of the young Norma Jean who recognised her stunning good looks were beginning to turn heads; in particular when she posed for the famous nude calendar. Suddenly the gates of the major Hollywood studios were flung open. Her future seemed assured but her life would be turbulent with failed marriages miscarriages and a growing danger from the effects of pill popping. In hindsight it seems a prophetic statement when at President Kennedy's birthday party she was introduced as the `late' Marilyn Monroe - tragically shortly afterwards the unintended pun proved to be the heartbreaking fact!

• Mutant X, Series 1 Vol. 3 | DVD | (17/02/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Mutant X takes the useful SF trope of the mutant minority persecuted by the state and adds potentially interesting spins on which it rarely delivers. After a couple of pilot episodes that pushed into OTT visual stylishness, the show has settled into mildly repetitive though watchable blandness: for the most part it avoids story arcs and a large cast of regulars in favour of plugging its characters into the stock plots of television SF, such as doubles, vengeance crusades and untrustworthy lovers. On the DVD: Mutant X Series 1, Volume 3 contains the following episodes: "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Adam's invisible ex-lover Danielle needs stabilising by a gene resequencer which has been stolen from him by Eckhart's agents. "Double Vision". New mutant Maddie splits Emma into two--one Emma is completely ruthless and prepared to destroy Eckhart and the GSA at huge cost in life. "Blood Ties". Jesse meets his father again and is recruited by him to a vengeance crusade that may be a cover for industrial espionage. "Altered Ego". A mutant's power changes Adam into a ruthless villain determined to destroy his friends. The DVDs also contain trailers, a file on Genomex, interviews with the makeup artists and with Lauren Lee Smith (Emma). --Roz Kaveney
