• Spaghetti Western Collection - A Fistful Of Dollars/The Good, The Bad And The Ugly/For A Few Dollars More | DVD | (14/05/2007) from £29.99   |  Saving you £10.00 (33.34%)   |  RRP £39.99

  A Fistful Of Dollars (1964): In his own way he is perhaps the most dangerous man who ever lived! The first of the ""spaghetti westerns"" A Fistful Of Dollars became an instant cult hit. It also launched the film careers of Italian Writer-Director Sergio Leone and a little known American television actor named Clint Eastwood. As the lean cold-eye cobra-quick gunfighter - Clint became the first of the ""anti-heroes"". The cynical enigmatic loner with a clouded past is the same character Eastwood fans have been savouring ever since. A Fistful Of Dollars is the western taken to the extreme - with unremitting violence gritty realism and tongue-in-cheek humour. Leone's direction is taut and stylish and the visuals are striking - from the breathtaking panoramas (in Spain) to the extreme close-ups of quivering lips and darting eyes before the shoot-out begins. And all are accented by renowned film composer Ennio Morricone's quirky haunting score. For A Few Dollars More (1965): The man with no name is back... The man in black is waiting... a walking arsenal - he uncoils strikes and kills! Clint Eastwood had proven so successful in his first foray into European Westerns with A Fistful Of Dollars that a follow up sequel was inevitable. Superbly scripted by Luciano Vincenzoni featuring an unforgettable alliance between ruthless gun-slingers Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. For A Few Dollars More tells the tale of a ruthless quest to track down the notorious bandit El Indio played by Gian Maria Volonte. The film is also noted for its array of weaponry a veritable arsenal of rifles that became so operatic and Ennio Morricone's atmospheric score keeps the tension taut as the action moves from Jail breaks and hold-ups to spectacular gun battles. The Good The Bad And The Ugly (1966): For three men the civil war wasn't hell. It was practice! The Good The Bad And The Ugly written by Age Scarpelli Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone is the third and last western in Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy. Director Sergio Leone substitutes for the upright puritan Protestant ethos so familiar in Hollywood westerns a seedy cynical standpoint towards death and mortality as a team of brutal bandits battle to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave. Joining Clint clearly ""The Good"" is the irredeemably ""Bad"" Lee and the resolutely ""Ugly"" Eli Wallach. The complete plot of bloodshed and betrayal winds its way through the American Civil War filmed to resemble the French battlefields of World War One to end in the climatic Dance Of Death. Arguably the quintessential Italian Western this 1966 film boasts a fine Ennio Morricone score featuring a main theme that reached No. 1 in the world's pop charts. This special edition DVD has been restored to its full length with the addition of three missing scenes from the original Italian version.

• Kurt Cobain - All Apologies | DVD | (22/01/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  On april 8th 1994 Kurt Cobain the lead singer of nirvana was found dead in his seattle home of an apparent shotgun wound to the head and with three times the lethal amount of heroin in his system. A note lay at the scene. The verdict was suicide. Others are sceptical. After ten years his death still remains debated. Nirvana redefined the sound of the 90s and the band's front man Kurt Cobain remains the only true Musical icon of the post-punk era. However the band's huge international success only heightened Cobains heroin addiction and depression and when he committed suicide in 1994 a generation had lost its hero. 'Kurt Cobain - All Apologies' is a fascinating and highly emotional tribute to the man and his music from those who were inspired by his extraordinary genius. It also charts his tragic downward spiral and increasing isolation which not even his marriage to Courtney Love or the birth of his daughter Frances Brean could stop. Featuring a critical reassessment of his work 'All Apologies' attempts to understand why Cobain still continues to be a role model for disaffected youth. It also analyses Nirvana's contribution to the annals of rock history from the early days of Bleach to the multi-million selling album Nevermind and beyond. In a series of exclusive interviews Nirvana members Cobain's family and media pundits comment on his life and values revealing the inspiration behind his music and how fame affected him both personally and artistically.
