"Actor: Martin"

• Ricky Martin - The Essential Collection | DVD | (22/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The Essential Ricky Martin Collection is a repackaged version of the poor-quality Ricky Martin--European Tour, released in 2001. Using concert footage shot on a camcorder, and cheesy special effects, the European Tour release has gone down in history as one the most dreadful pop DVDs ever released. In an attempt to add more value and revitalise the main feature, a biographical audio CD and 24-page booklet have also been included here. In comparison to the material featured on the DVD, the audio CD is bearable but contains only snippets of music. Instead, excerpts from unlicensed interviews with the star are interspersed with voiceovers from an over-enthusiastic presenter, who constantly describes the singer as "phenomenal". The "24-page colour super booklet" is virtually a printed transcript of the material contained on the discs. Like the rest of the package the booklet’s style is weak, and contains dated library images of the star. In a desperate attempt to appeal to an English-language audience, the track-listing is in English (with Spanish translations following in brackets) even though the songs are all performed in Spanish. The Official Video Collection and One Night Only are still by far the best Ricky Martin DVD collections available. On the DVD: The Essential Ricky Martin Collection on disc is the same as the European Tour release, with the addition of CD, booklet and poster. The bonus clip of "La Bamba" is an amateur recording of Ricky performing a song on stage with a live recording of the track dubbed over the top. Due to the use of a tiny font, and a flickering typeface the biography and discography are impossible to read. The feature and bonus material are only presented in standard picture format and in stereo.--John Galilee

• North by Northwest (Deluxe Series) | DVD | (16/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £49.99

  Cary Grant teams with Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper judged one of the American Film Institute's Top 100 American Films and spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Surround Stereo. Grant plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted framed for murder chased and in another signature set piece crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from that famed carved rock (for which back lot sets were used). But don't expect the Master Of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging...

  Ricky Martin's bravura, swivel-hipped performance of "The Cup of Life" at the 41st annual Grammy Awards handily stole the spotlight from the evening's platinum-edged superstars, and positioned him as poster boy for a Latin-pop crossover boom that dominated media for months to follow. Like most "overnight" sensations (or, for that matter, "brand new" pop trends), Martin's impact was actually the payoff for an extended apprenticeship: anything but a novice, this Puerto Rican native was already a major star in the Spanish-speaking pop realm, having graduated from his early stint as a plump-cheeked member of Menudo to become a sleek heartthrob.With his chiselled features, flashing smile and sinuous physical presence, Martin can't be blamed for playing to his female fans, and these video clips do just that. The sequence for Martin's breakout English hit, "Livin' La Vida Loca" (also included in a Spanish version) offers a template of sorts: footage of Martin performing the song in a night-club setting is interspersed with location shots of the singer and the siren he's singing about, stitched together with rapid cuts and swirling camera movement that echo the percolating rhythms. Elsewhere, on "She's All I Ever Had", Martin downshifts to the role of earnest balladeer. The objects of his affection are typically drop-dead gorgeous (and, in one instance, teasingly undraped), and the undercurrent of sex approximates the sort of glossy perfection you would expect from lingerie or perfume ads.The cover-boy route is probably inevitable for Martin, but his vitality is hard to dismiss, especially during the final song--the same live Grammy performance that put him on global pop radar. That joyous appearance confirms that Martin doesn't need supermodel co-stars or retakes to heat things up. --Sam Sutherland

• Das Boot, The Director's Cut (A Wolfgang Petersen Film) | DVD | (28/06/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Wolfgang Petersen's harrowing and claustrophobic U-boat thriller Das Boot was released as both a theatrical film and a six-hour mini-series, and remains the most expensive production ever made by a German studio. The expanded "Director's Cut" of the movie was re-released 1997 and it is this version that is available for home viewing. This epic story became an instant classic on its first release, provoking critical and audience acclaim worldwide for its sympathetic and entirely truthful portrayal of a German U-boat crew. Faithfully adapted from the bestselling novel by Lothar-Günther Buchheim, Petersen and his committed cast (led by the amazing Jürgen Prochnow) were concerned to ensure that every detail was rendered with painstaking accuracy--both physical and psychological--and the result is not only the best submarine drama ever made but also arguably the finest cinematic portrait of men at war and the terrible madness they must endure. On the DVD: The 200-minute "Director's Cut" version of the movie not only has several major scenes restored that were not in the theatrical release but also has been digitally remastered with significantly improved sound (new sound effects have been added) and anamorphic picture. (The six-hour TV version has yet to be released.) Here, the viewer can watch the movie in the original German, with or without subtitles, or in an English dubbed version that uses the voices of many of the original cast. On the utterly engrossing commentary track, director Wolfgang Petersen and star Jürgen Prochnow talk animatedly and in great detail about every aspect of making this epic story--from model shots using Barbie dolls to meeting the Captain of the original U-boat. This is one of the most consistently rewarding commentaries on disc. Also included is a five-minute featurette that promotes this new version. --Mark Walker

• The Delta Force | DVD | (27/11/2000) from £9.49   |  Saving you £3.50 (36.88%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This typical but well-made action movie, which spawned numerous sequels, means to combine the best elements of the disaster movie with the hard-boiled attributes of traditional action-adventures. When a plane is hijacked to the Middle East by Palestinian terrorists, the Pentagon calls into action the Delta Force, an elite squad of highly trained commandos led by tough guy mainstay Lee Marvin and karate-action-star Chuck Norris. Their mission is simple: to thwart the terrorists and rescue the hostages and the plot concentrates largely on just that, as the team uses its experience and fighting skills to get the job done. Its sometimes preachy patriotic bent occasionally gets in the way of the action and Norris is a one-dimensional figure who at times takes himself too seriously, but his rapport with easy-going veteran Marvin moves the film over some implausible rough spots. While not a groundbreaking contribution to the genre, Delta Force impresses with its straightforward tough-guy style. --Robert Lane
