  • Jubilee [1978]Jubilee | DVD | (18/06/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

    Derek Jarman's Jubilee combines a safety-pin and barbed-wire vision of 1977 London in ruins (all burning prams and castrated policemen), a meditation on English mysticism guided by a time-travelling Queen Elizabeth I (the immensely regal Jenny Runacre) and a wild 'n' crazy account of the rampages of a gang of personality punk psychos, to become the closest a British film could come to the John Waters of Pink Flamingos. But there are surprisingly lyrical stretches (the only songs sung all the way through are "Jerusalem" and "My Love is Like a Red Red Rose") and, though future pop stars Toyah Wilcox and Adam Ant are embarrassingly amateurish as rebel street angels, some of the one-note maniacal performances--especially Lex Luther look-alike Orlando as mad media tycoon Borgia Ginz--are relishable. Among the people you've forgotten are in it are Ian Charleson of Chariots of Fire, celebrity shop assistant Jordan (as narrator Amyl Nitrate), Richard O'Brien and Little Nell of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Lindsay Kemp Dance Troupe and Adolf Hitler of World War II. Arguably the only Derek Jarman movie you might consider watching for pleasure, this is still not exactly the 1970s nostalgia fodder you might expect: even as the haircuts and music have receded into cultural history, the movie's acid-look vision of the worst of England remains horribly sound. The soundtrack features Adam and the Ants ("Deutscher Girls"), Wayne County and the Electric Chairs ("Paranoia Paradise"), Chelsea ("Right to Work"), Suzi Pinns (a thrash punk "Rule Britannia" best appreciated by those with the aural range of a fox terrier), Siouxie and the Banshees ("Love in a Void"), Amilcar ("Wargasm in Pornotopia"), the Slits and Brian Eno ("Slow Water", "Dover Beach"). In the 21st Century, the creative team are either dead or doing pantomime--which is so appropriate that irony doesn't even come into it. --Kim Newman

    Hailed as one of the most successful adaptations of Shakespeare Derek Jarman's 'The Tempest' is also unsurprisingly one of the most unconventional. Though keeping the essence of the text the films greatness lies in Jarman's skill at creating a visually stunning erotically charged world of haunting imagery.

  • The Raven [1963]The Raven | DVD | (20/10/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

    One of the most sublimely silly products to emanate from Roger Corman's studio, The Raven has the very loosest of connections with the Edgar Allen Poe poem that gives it its title and which Vincent Price intones sepulchrally at the beginning. A retiring magician, Craven (Price) has opted out of the power struggles of peers such as Dr Scarabus (Boris Karloff) to brood on his dead wife and bring up his daughter. The arrival of Bledlo (Peter Lorre), an incompetent drunk whom Scarabus has turned into the raven of the title, involves him in everything he had renounced--life is complicated further by the arrival of Bledlo's son Rexford, played by a staggeringly young Jack Nicholson. The special effects are almost perfunctory, yet the culminating magical duel between Price and Karloff is inventive and charming; this is one of those films that looks as if the actors enjoyed making it; while the script by Richard Matheson has a blithe awareness of its own shortcomings that makes it hard to dislike. On the DVD: The Raven comes to DVD with very boxy remastered mono sound, but is presented in its original widescreen 2.35:1 ratio, formatted for 16:9 TVs. The only extra is the original theatrical trailer. --Roz Kaveney

    Mulberry is a stylish charming witty and poignant sitcom from the celebrated writing team of John Esmonde and Bob Larbey creators of classic comedies including 'Brush Strokes' 'The Good Life' and 'Ever Decreasing Circles'. It stars Karl Howman of 'Brush Strokes' and Geraldine McEwan of TV's 'Miss Marple' fame together with comedy stalwarts Tony Selby and Lill Roughley who have starred in many a sitcom over the years including such hits as 'Get Some in' 'Love Hurts' and 'My Hero'. Mulberry (Karl Howman) the cheerful cockney son of Death and Springtime starts his 'career' as the Grim Reaper's apprentice when he is sent to collect the dour snooty acid-tongued grumpy and reclusive Miss Farnaby (Geraldine McEwan). He instead sweet talks his way in to joining the staff of Bert (Tony Selby) and Alice (Lill Roughley) in her creaky old manor house and soon becomes her personal servant. Suddenly the dull old house is not dull anymore as Mulberry endeavors to help Miss Farnaby enjoy her life during the three month extension grudgingly granted by his dad. Laughs abound as Mulberry tries to do his best for everyone concerned despite often upsetting the devoted Bert and Alice and without anyone finding out the secret of his true identity and his reasons for being there. A must see comic masterpiece that's pure enjoyment for all the family.

    From acclaimed director Mike Leigh, Peterloo is an epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where a peaceful pro-democracy rally at St Peter's Field in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. The massacre saw British government forces charge into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand political reform and protest against rising levels of poverty. Many protesters were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking a nationwide outcry but also further government suppression. The Peterloo Massacre was a defining moment in British democracy which also played a significant role in the founding of The Guardian newspaper.

    Night Of The Living Dead George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead is a black and white classic that spawned the zombie genre from its 1968 release. At a cemetery in the American south a fleash-eating zombie rises from the dead to claim the first victim of a nightmarish plague. Increasing in number the hideous cannibals gather outside a farmhouse where seven desperate mortals shelter from the gathering night and the hideous clawing of the undead outside... Dawn Of The Dead As the oil runs out as the Three Mile Island nuclear plant sprays radiation into the atmosphere like an atomic teakettle that someone forgot to take off the burner and as the dollar gradually becomes more and more transparent Romero invites us into a crazed bedlam where zombies stagger up and down escalators stare with dulled fascination at department store dummies wearing fur coats and try to eat perfume bottles. The movie's four protagonists at first segregate themselves from this world and then unknowingly become part of it. The only difference is that they're not dead. At least not yet... Stephen King - Rolling Stone Magazine. Day Of The Dead (WS 1.85:1 / Dolby Digital (2.0) Stereo) The walking dead have taken over the world and only a small band of the living survive.

A last ditch battle results in the darkest day of horror the world has ever known. Exclusive Bonus Disc!
