• Jabberwocky | DVD | (03/09/2012) from £9.70   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  A medieval comedy-adventure starring Michael Palin and directed by Terry Gilliam, Jabberwocky is an episodic adaptation of Lewis Carroll's surreal poem. Having previously directed Monty Python and The Holy Grail (1975) with Terry Jones, Jabberwocky marked Gilliam's solo directorial debut--is it coincidental that Jones is killed by the titular monster in the opening scene? Palin plays the naive Dennis Cooper, a man seeking his fortune just as the Jabberwocky is laying waste to the country. It's much the same world as Holy Grail, with all the trappings of the romantic Hollywood epic being liberally coated with literal and metaphorical muck. Palin's character causes unwitting mayhem wherever he goes--one stand-out scene involves the destruction of a maintenance shop for damaged knights-in-armour--though as much humour comes from exposing the foibles of the people he meets. And those people constitute a roll call of contemporary British comedy: Harry H Corbett as a sex-mad squire, Warren Mitchell's Mr Fishfinger, plus Annette Badland, Max Wall, John Le Mesurier, Rodney Bewes, John Bird, Neil Innes and John Gorman. Jabberwocky lacks the hilarity of Holy Grail, but is a consistently amusing, exceptionally atmospheric, gleefully gory yarn which points the way to Gilliam's Time Bandits (1981) and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). On the DVD Jabberwocky is distinguished by an engaging and enthusiastic commentary from Gilliam and Palin, in which they delight in the amazing cast and ponder how such a handsome film was made. Otherwise the extras are a short sketch-to-screen comparison, three posters and three trailers (only one for Jabberwocky). Transferred anamorphically enhanced at 1.77:1, the picture is variable, with many beautifully lit indoor scenes looking fine, while other exterior, daylight shots appear washed out. There is some minor print damage. The sound is a revelation for a low-budget 1970s film originally released in mono. Given a full Dolby Digital 5.1 remix the tremendously detailed, rich and involving soundscape really brings Gilliam's world alive and puts many much more recent and expensive titles to shame. --Gary S Dalkin

  Glastonbury (Dir. Julien Temple 2006): The mud. The music. The mayhem. A documentary on the 30th anniversary of Britain's best-known music festival the definitive experience that is Glastonbury! With no Glasto' festival in 2006 this may be the best way to sample the finest musical gathering in the UK. In 1970 a young farmer named Michael Eavis opened his 150-acre farm to 1 500 people who paid one pound each to watch a handful of pop and folk stars perform all weekend long and the Glastonbury Festival was born. The following year several rich hippies including Winston Churchill's granddaughter provided funds to enlarge the event and 12 500 people turned up to see David Bowie and Joan Baez. For most of the past 30 years the Worthy Farm in Glastonbury has provided a delirious outdoor concert for thousands of people over the summer-solstice weekend. Julien Temple whose film The Filth and the Fury screened at Sundance in 2000 has spent the past few years collecting footage from every single Glastonbury Festival ranging from professional outtakes from the film Nicolas Roeg made about the 1971 event to amateur home videos collected from the attendees themselves often retrieved from forgotten corners of closets and attics. Interweaving images of impromptu art happenings skeptical locals and stirring performances by music legends not to mention the unbridled energy of each successive generation of youthful music fans Glastonbury skillfully chronicles the evolution of the longest-running music festival in the world. It's All Gone Pete Tong (Dir. Michael Dowse 2005): Based on a true story and Winner of Best Feature Film at Toronto Film Festival and Gen Art Film Festival Paul Kaye (Best Actor U.S. Comedy Arts Festival) stars as Frankie Wilde the legendary British DJ and musical mastermind of the underground club scene whose career is cut down at its pinnacle by unthinkable tragedy - the loss of his hearing. Darkly funny and inspirational with fierce performances by both Kaye and Kate Magowan (24 Hour Party People) as his sex-crazed Mrs. you'll laugh and gasp but cheer him on as he struggles out of the abyss to reclaim his life and reputation. This Is Spinal Tap (Dir. Rob Reiner 1984): Go straight to 11 - with the magic of DVD you can now go to your favourite Tap moments whether it is the diminutive Stonehenge the pod that won't open or the amp that goes all the way to 11.
