| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP A predictable vehicle for the resistable Martin Lawrence, Black Knight is yet another rerun of Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee at the Court of King Arthur concept which here plays like a horror-free, considerably less funny take on Army of Darkness. Jamal (Lawrence), minion in a mediaeval theme park, reaches into a moat for a magic amulet and is transported to the 14th century, where he is appalled by the toilet facilities, pals around with a disgraced knight (an equally disgraced Tom Wilkinson), romances a feminist lady-in-waiting (Marsha Thomason), introduces soul music to the court in a bit done better in A Knight's Tale, and becomes the legendary black knight to help the rebels overthrow the wicked king. It has a bigger, more lavish feel than most of Lawrence's makeshift knockabouts, but that may also be why it is even less funny, since his rants are rather reined-in and his screen character comes across as just overly pleased with himself rather than a comic foul-up who turns heroic. --Kim Newman No-one tries very hard in Big Momma's House so your enjoyment of this Martin Lawrence vehicle pretty much depends on how much amusement you are able to derive from a guy dressed up as a very ample woman. The setup is of the eye-rolling, only-in-Hollywood nature: Lawrence, as detective Malcolm Turner, is after a killer, and apparently the only way to capture him is to pose as the bad guy's ex-girlfriend's grandmother, who--the film cannot stress this point too much--is quite large. Apparently, Sherry (Nia Long), the young woman in question--she's as attractive as Big Momma is, well, you know--is none too bright, for she falls for Malcolm's ruse, which of course ostensibly amuses mainly because it's so transparent. Paul Giamatti is wasted as Malcolm's partner, while director Raja Gosnell's clunky sense of comic rhythm is bewildering, because he used to be an editor (he brought a similar lack of magic to Home Alone 3). Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps is far more accomplished, versatile and funny. --David Kronke

Ticket To Ride - Hungary | DVD | (08/11/2004)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP Welcome to Hungary! This video production follows the fortune of the GySEV the M''V and indeed the ''–BB in the west of Hungary; Sopron Deutschkreutz and Gy''r and all points between. Hungary is a fascinating venue for a rail film. A country at the crossroads of Europe with a rail system that is modernising fast and yet retains something of the east European 'exotic'! The GySEV is no minor player. The company part owned by Austria part by Hungary and part by the German port of Hamburg is a major league freight carrier. Sopron is not only a major tourist town it's also the eastern hub for the 'Quality Net' Europe wide container network. It's also the terminal for several RoLa -'piggyback' services from Germany. But the line is best known for its international transit traffic linking Germany with the Balkans Greece and Turkey. On our journey we have time to look at some of the attractions on the way: The Esterh''zy Palace Nagycenk-for the mansion and the narrow gauge steam railway museum and the Neusiedler See. But it's the railway that makes the link we never stray very far from the constant passing of the trains on this main line. By the time we reach Gy''r we are in M''V territory the EuroCity route from Vienna via Hegyeshalom has joined us and the line is now incredibly busy with international freight and passenger working-to say nothing of the M''V locals and ICs! The Video was filmed by Austrian signal Engineer Gerald Masser it has been digitally edited by FHP Audio Visual in the UK. The English narration is by Phyllis Watts.

Next it's a run along the Avon valley to the Georgian city of Bath. Here we look at the city the old Green Park station and view the trains from the heights of the surrounding hills. We catch a new CORADIA high speed DMU and have a ride in an example. We see who is running the waste business for BANES and then head east alongside the K&A the Kennet and Avon canal.

See Beetles from VW tanks on their way to exercise at Lneburg and coal trains from Poland-freight paradise! South of Altenbeken we pay a visit to the Bahn's least known Ausbau Strecke.

Really this is the story of two routes: the main freight to Germany via Hasselt Vis and Montzen and the current main international passenger line via Lige.

IKEA are committed rail freight users with regional distribution centres through out continental Europe. We are privileged to tour their impressive facility watch them unload rail vans from Sweden and Poland and to discus their plans for the future. Also in Genk are motor gians Ford and an impressive canal side port see them both at work.

| RRP Our journey starts at Aachen - while within the Netherlands we view the freight line in from Belgium! Then it's on to Dren for a look at the work in progress on the NBS to Cologne. Around Dren we have time to have a look at the brown coal trains of Rheinbraun on their 300km network. Krefeld has a superb tram system and we ride the fast tram to Dsseldorf. Dsseldorf is the business city of the Niederrhein. It's busy with rail activity 24/7! It also has an interesting surface tramway and at Neuss on the opposite side of the Rhine a port. Heading south we visit Cologne and look at the splendid Hbf and the two bridges that 'control' rail traffic transiting this magnificent city take a ride on the tramway to Bonn to see the Sdbrcke. We visit Deutz and then look at the implications of the new NBS. We head south following the NBS and see a new ICE3 unit on a test run. The two classic routes are not forgotten; we spend time around Bonn see the HGK at work and see how the OAO shares track with the metro. This is Bayer country and we have a chance to view this major of the chemical industry at work at some their plants. There's lots of freight down both banks of the Rhine and we can sit back and enjoy the spectacle from the heights of the Drachenfels and at Koblenz from the castle that overlooks the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel. Luck was on our side as south of Koblenz the ICE/EC/IC services to Frankfurt were being diverted down the right (freight) bank. This gives us the opportunity to watch a stream of trains of all types transiting Rdesheim! Back north we are the guests of P&O who have a new home at Logport the 250 hectare site of a former steel works that is being transformed into a major 'tri-modal' logistics hub.
