• I Dreamed Of Africa | DVD | (05/02/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Based on the memoirs of party-girl-turned-conservationist Kuki Gallman, I Dreamed of Africa never comes close to living up to its title; the mood is more prosaic travelogue than oneiric wonderment. After a car accident warns Kuki of her mortality, she resolves to grow up, a process that mysteriously involves marrying a man she barely knows and moving with him and her young son to the wilds of South Africa. There she learns new beau Paolo is less reliable than she thought, but also that the sun-baked plains and roaming beasts of Africa speak to her in a way the nightlife of Italy did not. (We learn of her blossoming humanity because she introduces herself to the servants; a probing study of interpersonal relationships this isn't.) Kim Basinger obviously feels connected to the role--she can stride across a room with a majestic self-righteousness that the film should have drawn upon more--but she's defeated by a script composed of repetitive vignettes that have no cumulative effect and a director (Hugh Hudson) who keeps the film's emotional impact curiously flat and diffuse except for the crass, manipulative moments every 20 minutes or so. Sure the photography's lovely, but really, how hard is it to get a nice shot of flamingoes at dawn? --Bruce Reid, Amazon.com

• Sweepers | DVD | (15/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £3.99

  One Step Between Life And Death. War-ravaged Angola is home to the worst mercenaries cutthroats and terrorists the world has to offer. It is there that Christian Erickson (Dolph Lundgren) leads his elite team of Sweepers - men with nerves of raw iron who clear mine fields to make the land safe for native villagers. It is there that Christian's eleven-year-old son is tragically killed following his father when rebels attack the humanitarian team. Five years later a covert team led by beautiful explosives expert Michelle Flynn (Claire Stansfield) arrives in Angola to investigate the manufacture of a super-lethal A6 land mine being used for terrorist bombings in the U.S. When Michelle's partners are killed she must enlist the embittered Christian as her only hope of retrieving the A6. Piece by piece they discover the sinister plot behind the land mines and unmask a deadly adversary they never expected. Their journey climaxes in a fight-to-the-death chase through torturous jungle and deep diamond mines with the kind of incendiary action that doesn't stop until the final explosion.
