• Fools Rush In | DVD | (10/05/2004) from £7.07   |  Saving you £-1.08 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Opposites attract in Fools Rush In, a conventional but refreshingly unpredictable romantic comedy. New York nightclub designer (Matthew Perry, from television's Friends) is in Las Vegas to supervise the construction of a new project when he meets a fiery Mexican beauty (Salma Hayek). It's lust at first sight, and their one-night stand takes an unexpected turn when she shows up three months later to announce that she's pregnant. They're determined to do right for each other, so they get married in a Vegas chapel with an Elvis impersonator as their witness. Then comes the hard part--trying to figure out if they're actually compatible. The plot complications are mostly familiar, but Perry and Hayek throw some bright sparks as their initial bliss turns to more realistic concerns for family and future. Along the way there's some sharp dialogue and a few good laughs to give this all-too-human comedy an enjoyable spin. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

• Benny Golson - The Whisper Not Tour | DVD | (05/12/2012) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-1.99 (-8.00%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Legend in every sense of the word Benny Golson is one of a few jazzmen whose achievements as a composer equal his accomplishments as a saxophonist. 'As a player Golson remains an awesome modern mainstream improviser able to craft captivating and emotion-laden melodic lines while sailing through the chord changes with the ease afforded by his ultra sharp composer's ear.' - David Franklin JazzTimes This DVD features far more than just the genius of Golson. Performing alongside Benny in this timeless uncut concert is a plethora of talent; Art Farmer in his last live recorded video performance with Golson & Curtis Fuller (original members of the historic Jazztet) and the man Time Magazine called 'the James Joyce of Jazz ' vocalist extraordinaire Jon Hendricks. After writing the classic 'Whisper Not ' for Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band Benny's reputation flourished. Working with talent such as Quincy Jones Lou Rawls Connie Francis Ella Fitzgerald Nancy Wilson Sammy Davis Jr. and Diana Ross Golson also penned numerous standards such as 'Killer Joe' and 'I Remember Clifford.' Whether leading Philadelphia's Columbus Avenue jam sessions playing with fellow stars such as John Coltrane or in a Hollywood recording studio writing the scores for classic American television shows such as M*A*S*H The Cosby Show and Mission Impossible Jazz's elder statesman Benny Golson is simply remarkable.
