• Final Analysis | DVD | (22/11/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  This film, which again pairs Richard Gere and Kim Basinger (who starred in 1986's No Mercy), offers up elements of classic noir: a hapless man becomes intimately involved with a beautiful blonde who may or may not be who or what she appears to be. Dedicated psychiatrist Isaac Barr (Gere) reluctantly, and then more obsessively, becomes involved with Heather Evans (Basinger), the sister of his patient, Diana Baylor (Uma Thurman). Evans is unhappily married to a gangster (appropriately played by a muscular and menacing Eric Roberts in a trademark role). Gere and Basinger make a credible, if dangerous couple, and Thurman delivers a subtle, understated performance and demonstrates her range and potential. The thriller is appropriately shot in gorgeous San Francisco, where the literal and figurative curving and hilly roads wind throughout. Credit legendary art director Dean Tavoularis for some amazing sets and scenes, notably the elegantly cavernous restaurant where Evans and her husband have a fateful dinner. This film is, in a way, glossy director Phil Joanou's Hitchcockian tribute--as a climactic lighthouse scene best demonstrates. Final Analysis doesn't offer an intimate look at its characters, but a beautifully stylized one, moody and gloomy. The intricate plot experiments with the device of "pathological intoxication," in which the subject completely loses control after drinking alcohol. And this doesn't mean a conventional ugly drunk; it means a frightening psychotic. Good and evil, hope and despair, beauty and repulsion are often juxtaposed in the film's complex world. --NF Mendoza

• Tonight And Every Night | DVD | (07/10/2013) from £3.00   |  Saving you £9.99 (76.90%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A musical wartime morale booster in which star Rita Hayworth is but one of a lively ensemble. Set in battle-scarred Britain, the action takes place in a seedy old music hall, which never misses a performance even at the height of the blitz. Five times a day like clockwork, American-born entertainer Rosalind Bruce (Rita Hayworth) and her British cohorts put on a show for their ever-appreciative audiences.

• Maniac | DVD | (29/07/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Frank Zito (a career performance by co-writer/co-executive producer Joe Spinell of 'Rocky' and 'The Godfather' fame) is a deeply disturbed man haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro of 'The Spy Who Loved Me') yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a maniac. Experience 'Maniac' like you've never seen or heard it before. Directed by William Lustig and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini ('Dawn of the Dead') this notorious classic was censored all over the world for its graphic violence and remains banned in England and Germany to this day. But 'Maniac' is more than just one of the most relentlessly depraved films of our time; It is quite possibly one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made...

• Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion: Beast Stable | DVD | (08/10/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  An avenging angel... or a seductive siren? Conceive of her as you like - either way she walks alone this woman wronged by the world... this Scorpion with a taste for vengeance! Meiko Kaji (femme fatale extraordinaire of the Stray Cat Rock and Lady Snowblood series) returns as Female Prisoner #701 - now escaped from the very authority that would grind her down. With one severed arm dangling from one handcuffed wrist Kaji takes refuge in the home of a kindred soul... a latchkey slut in want of all the world's sympathy... forced into a back-alley living for the sake of supporting her retarded brother... whose baby grows ever quick in her womb - oh life! No it's not long until old enemies rearrive new adversaries are inaugurated... and this waking nightmare gives way to a new dawn... soiled by indiscriminate abortion! This third instalment of the Female Prisoner series is perhaps also the finest and in its concise layout it represents both a fitting conclusion to the Scorpion story as directed by Shunya It and a stand-alone work requiring no familiarity with the preceding episodes. Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion: Beast Stable exemplifies the grindhouse ethos in its haunting depiction of beauty...

• Cover Girl | DVD | (18/08/2003) from £14.24   |  Saving you £-4.25 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Cover Girl was one of the big hits of Rita Hayworth's run as movie queen (and World War II pinup girl), a splashy musical geared to the talents of its redheaded star. Be warned: this is the kind of movie in which a single magazine cover turns an unknown dancer into the toast of her own Broadway show, virtually overnight. The corn runs high, but so do the spirits; plus, Eve Arden is around to toss in her trademark one-liners. Gene Kelly, as Hayworth's sulky choreographer and part-time boyfriend, stops the movie cold with his brilliant dance alongside his own reflection. The Jerome Kern-Ira Gershwin songs are middling, except for the lovely "Long Ago and Far Away". One number presents a parade of magazine cover girls come to life (great snapshot of an era). And check out the movie's hats: a parade of insane creations, perched uncertainly on many beautiful women's heads. --Robert Horton
