• The Alcohol Years | DVD | (31/03/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The Alcohol Years: Almost 20 years after leaving it behind Carol Morley - winner of the City Of Melbourne Award for Best Short Documentary at the 2000 Melbourne International Film Festival - returned to Manchester where she had spent several years lost in an alcoholic haze at the centre of the city's burgeoning musical and cultural scene. From booze fuelled nights at the city's legendary Hacienda club to inebriated revelries at New Order's expense 'The Alcohol Years' is a poetic retrieval of that time in which Carol's rediscovered friends and acquaintances recount tales of her drunken and promiscuous behaviour. Carol Morley's search for her lost self and the conflicting memories and viewpoints of those around her weave in and out revealing a poignant portrayal of the city its pop culture the people who lived it and of a young woman who found herself at the centre of a defining moment in Manchester's cultural history. Among those contributing to Carol's story are many of the most notable and significant figures from the era including broadcaster record company executive and entrepreneur Tony Wilson author and DJ Dave Haslam Buzzcocks singer Pete Shelley Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column musician journalist and TV presenter Dick Witts Jesus And Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart and Nico's former manager Alan Wise. 'The Alcohol Years' features music by New Order The Durutti Column Pete Shelley Vini Reilly ToT Stella Grundy and Fall drummer Spencer Birtwistle. Everyday Something: Based on Carol Morley's collection of newspaper cuttings and narrated by the late John Peel 'Everyday Something' presents private moments that give strange glimpses into everyday life.

• Elvis Presley : Films that Rock - Love Me Tender, Wild In The Country, Flaming Star | DVD | (04/11/2002) from £44.49   |  Saving you £-19.50 (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Elvis: Films That Rock contains three of the King's early screen efforts: Love Me Tender (1956), Flaming Star (1960) and Wild in the Country (1961). It's pointless to suggest that they aren't among Elvis's best movies (you'll have to look elsewhere for King Creole and Jailhouse Rock, which probably are), partly because any fan's going to want them all anyway, but also because all three are interesting in their different ways. Love Me Tender, made in black and white in 1956, was Presley's first stab at acting, and this story of a family split by the American Civil War--one brother goes off to fight, the other doesn't--sees him short on screentime and being upstaged by pretty much everyone else. That said, it was a reasonably brave move for Presley to begin his movie career by dealing with this kind of subject matter, however sentimentalised. Four years later, Flaming Star took the steer by the horns with Presley portraying a young man of mixed parentage caught up in the ethnic conflict between Native Americans and the white race. Again, a brave choice of subject; this was a landmark movie insofar as it showed Presley certainly had enough acting ability to create a credible parallel career along the lines of, say, Sinatra. It wasn't to be, though, as even then his talents were being manipulated by others, which is why all his later movies--even the best ones--were little more than advertisements for his records. Wild in the Country, from the following year, saw Presley as a young tearaway who finds redemption in his talent for writing. It's pure melodrama, but the moralising is kept under control. This is a nice little collection, all in all, and an essential for any fan. On the DVD: Elvis: Films That Rock presents the three pictures in positively radiant transfers, which are absolutely gunge-free and make the very best of the beautifully stylised lighting and cinematography of the period, while the classic Cinemascope presentations translate perfectly into widescreen. Special features include trailers for all three movies. --Roger Thomas

• The Phantom | DVD | (07/05/2001) from £12.34   |  Saving you £-2.35 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  This pleasant enough comic-strip adaptation features Billy Zane in purple tights and a Lone Ranger mask as a 1930s daredevil who lives in a cave, has a pet dog called Devil, and devotes himself to goodness and justice and that sort of thing. Treat Williams is a nasty millionaire out to collect the evil-plot coupons (a set of jewelled skulls) so he can send off for ultimate, world-ruling power. Zane, plus peppy heroine Kristy Swanson, is out to stop Williams by jumping from aeroplanes onto horses, grinning as he biffs scurvy minions and resisting the wiles of ludicrous lady pirate Catherine Zeta Jones. Unlike most recent comic book films, The Phantom makes no attempt at bringing its 30s-created superhero up to date: there is a lot of charming period detail and a refreshingly unneurotic, healthy hero and heroine team, but it seems a bit embalmed by its resurrection of serial-style thrills. --Kim Newman
