• Wicked | DVD | (26/11/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A teen-themed entry in the long-established Psycho-Bitch-from-Hell sub-genre of Hollywood thriller, Wicked affords current high school princess Julia Stiles an opportunity to stop smiling and play a manipulative, disturbed, alienated girl who is also the number one suspect in the “did she or didn't she batter Mum to death with a heavy tragedy mask” mystery.Set in one of those hideous American "gated communities", a pastel suburban enclave with round-the-clock security and enough adulteries to keep a soap going for a year, the film is subtler than stablemates like The Crush and Teacher's Pet, with a more convoluted plot and enough suspects to put the outcome in doubt. However it's still a by-the-numbers mix of soap and suspense. Stiles crosses her eyes and pouts a lot, making tastefully incestuous moves on her weakling father (an aptly hollow William R Moses), but she's not really well cast in a role Christina Ricci could have played in her sleep a few years ago. The best supporting performance comes from Michael Parks as a drawling cop brought into the community by the killing of the strident mother (Chelsea Field), who lingers to watch the fall-out as Stiles replaces Mum as the homemaker only to be sidelined in favour of the au pair who needs a green-card marriage. When the battering and stabbing starts, the film is surprisingly explicit, splattering several distinct types of stage blood around the designer living caricature home.On the DVD: the picture is an anamorphic 1.85:1 print, with Dolby Digital surround-sound. The minimal extras include trailers, filmographies for very few of the principals, and a neat menu. --Kim Newman

• Pineapple Express (Double-Disc with Bonus Digital Copy) | DVD | (12/01/2009) from £8.28   |  Saving you £14.70 (277.88%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The latest 'bro-mance' from team Apatow (the guys who brought us Superbad, Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Pineapple Express is the story of Dale Denton (Seth Rogan) and Saul Silver (James Franco), a pothead and his dealer who accidentally get caught up in a drug war between two gangs --with some corrupt cops, high school girls and smalltime henchmen thrown in for good measure. At its core, Pineapple Express is a stoner comedy--a tale of two giggling, loveable oafs in way over their heads. This formula has made for some entertaining comedy over the years -- Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke and Dave Chappell's Half Baked being two of the best examples. What sets Pineapple Express apart from these silly classics however, is the consistency of the humour, the perfect chemistry between Rogan and Franco and the giddily ridiculous action sequences. The movie retains the sweetness that is present in most of Apatow's films, making the characters’ poor choices and violent actions somehow justifiable. The site gags, pop culture references and perfectly timed non-sequiturs only enhance the hilarity. Director David Gordon Green, known mostly for the understated and reflective films George Washington and All the Real Girls, seemed like an odd choice for such a raucous and over-the-top comedy, but it turns out Green's stamp is all over this film (as is his long-time cinematographer, Tim Orr's) and together manage to turn Pineapple Express into much more than the sum of its parts. --Kira Canny

• R. Kelly - Trapped In The Closet - Chapters 1 - 22 | DVD | (16/02/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Essentially an R&B soap opera complete with the sets lighting convoluted plotlines and scandalous secrets of daytime TV Trapped In The Closet features its star and a cast of characters very literally acting out the actions the song describes. The plot involves numerous infidelities a homosexual affair a gun and as this is an R. Kelly piece of work at least one steamy sex scene. The attention to detail is astounding hilarious and typical of Kelly as he describes everything from the fear he experiences while hiding from his lover's husband to the leg cramp he gets while having sex with his wife. Kelly's smooth vocals give voice to everything even as the different characters mouth the lyrics. Though the project recalls the cheating themes of old blues songs evokes the look of daytime drama and contains the controlled raunchiness of vintage Kelly it's safe to say that Trapped In The Closet represents a new direction in R&B and is like nothing else audiences have ever seen before. This audacious collection presents the first 22 episodes of the ""Hip-Hopera.""
