"Actor: Richie Sambora"

• Bon Jovi - Crush Tour | DVD | (28/05/2001) from £6.86   |  Saving you £5.13 (74.78%)   |  RRP £11.99

  If ever there was a band made for massive rock shows, its Bon Jovi--and The Crush Tour is here to prove it. So the veteran band lacks the sheer charisma of fellow Jerseyite Bruce Springsteen, or certain other distinctive qualities--U2's impassioned social conscience, say, or R.E.M.'s self-conscious weirdness--of others who made it big in the 1980s. Bon Jovi is, by objective definition, a journeyman band. But that's not a bad thing. They specialise in the kind of hook-heavy, unpretentious anthems ideally suited for stadium crowds, and that's exactly what they deliver to the 50,000 fans packed into a Zurich, Switzerland, venue on their 2000 European tour, who pump their fists, wave their arms, and sing along from beginning to end, undeterred by the steady rain that falls throughout the show. It's a safe bet that no one there went home disappointed, and neither will the Bon Jovi fans who pick up this great-sounding, well-directed DVD. Singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora and company hit the ground running, opening with two of their catchiest hits, "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name," before rolling through seven tunes from 2000's Crush their first album in five years, and a host of other Bon Jovi ballads and rockers. And if the 20 songs from the two-hour concert begin to sound the same, you can always switch to the host of DVD bonus features, including a 30-minute "on tour" documentary, a photo gallery, a complete discography (including solo albums), and two song videos. A splendid time is guaranteed for all, more or less, so pull out your Bics and get ready to flick!--Sam Graham Description: After several years of being casually on and off, New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi came together for the 2000 Crush Tour.

Songs: "Livin' on a Prayer", "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Captain Crash" and the "Beauty Queen from Mars", "Say It Isn't So", "One Wild Night", "Born to Be My Baby", "It's My Life", "Bed of Roses", "Two Story Town", "Just Older", "Runaway", "Lay Your Hands on Me", "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", "Bad Medicine", "I'll Be There for You", "Next 100 Years", "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", "Keep the Faith".

• On The Line | DVD | (03/02/2003) from £6.95   |  Saving you £8.04 (115.68%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Pop stars and movies don't normally make the best combinations; despite featuring three musicians trying their hands at the acting game On the Line is a delightful movie. The biggest draw will undoubtedly be Lance Bass and Joey Fatone of US boy band N*SYNC and while many critics may be ready with their pot shots the pair not only bring a surprisingly deft acting ability to the screen but a chemistry clearly borne of years together in a band. The film bravely refuses to play the predictable teen comedy card, opting instead for a more mature tale of romance. On the Line succeeds not only thanks to the performances but because its theme of lost opportunities is a universal one. Certainly not a film without its faults (Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora's cameo is simply dreadful), On the Line has the courage of its convictions and at least tries to do something other than the expected. The result is an enjoyable effort and one that suggests Bass and Fatone may well have a prosperous future ahead of them when that Justin Timberlake fellow inevitably dumps them to go solo. On the DVD: On the Line is certainly a diverting if not startling DVD package. The commentary from director Eric Bross and the excellent Emmanuelle Chriqui is lively and informative. There is a selection of deleted and alternative scenes as well as outtakes. The HBO special is fine, if essentially one long advert for the movie. Unsurprisingly, the film enjoys a high-profile soundtrack (unwisely including the odd N*SYNC tune, rather blurring the edges of credibility) and the audio quality is suitably superb. --Phil Udell
