• The Player | DVD | (30/04/2001) from £24.99   |  Saving you £-12.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Robert Altman's a biting satire on the Hollywood industry, The Player, has always been acknowledged by insiders as too close to the truth for comfort. Opening with a self-referential nine-minute tracking shot around the studio lot where producer Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins) works, the story's intrigue begins with the first of several postcard death threats from a writer he's angered. After accidentally killing the wrong man, Mill moves from one star-studded lunch table to another. All the while he's hounded by the real writer and an obsession with "Ice Queen" artist June Gudmundsdotter (Greta Scacchi) who'd been the deceased's girlfriend. Altman's tradition of improvised dialogue makes each of the dozens of cameos a fascinating treat for movie fans. Blink and you'll miss Angelica Houston, John Cusack, Rod Steiger, or Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts who appear in the hilarious movie-within-a-movie finale. There's an endless list of terrific support from the likes of dry-witted Fred Ward, fly-swatting Lyle Lovett, or tampon-twirling Whoopi Goldberg. Aside from the star-spotting and a script that crackles with sharp dialogue, this also warrants acknowledgement for being the movie to set off an explosion of independent film in the Nineties. On the DVD: there's a commentary track (which leaves the film's soundtrack playing a little too loud) from director Altman who talks at length about the poor state of today's industry, and writer Michael Tolkin who contributes about ten minutes of veiled displeasure about the treatment of a writer's work. There are five grainy deleted scenes featuring lost cameos from Tim Curry, Jeff Daniels, and Patrick Swayze. Then in a 16-minute featurette a lot of the deleted footage is repeated around an interview with Altman. A trailer rounds out the package. --Paul Tonks

  Before the internet before reality TV what television series could be more humorous and with more vision than It's Garry Shandling's Show. In 1986 Garry Shandling was poised to become a permanent guest host on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show. Instead he took a chance of an offer from fledgling network Showtime to create his own television series. The show was a surreal look at the daily life of a young single man who is a comedian. It's Garry Shandling's Show was not a typical sitcom. Shandling would break the 'fourth wall' to include the studio audience and the viewers at home in on the actual making of the show. Experimenting with the sitcom form meant inviting the audience onto the set playing with the passage of time (it's now two weeks later) and generally exploding the genre and making art of the debris. Teaming up with Saturday Night Lives Alan Zweibel Shandling 'put on a fourth grade play' every week for four seasons. With a crew of talented young writers including Tom Gammill. Max Pross Al Jean Michael Reiss and David Mirkin who would go onto to Seinfield and The Simpsons and Ed Solomon who wrote Men In Black television history was made. Over the years guest stars (playing themselves) included Tom Petty Rob Reiner Vanna White Red Buttons Dan Akroyd Martin Mull Gilda Radner (in her last TV performance) Carl Reiner Chevy Chase Jeff Goldblum Don Cornelius The Turtles and many more. From its unforgettable theme song to its closing credits It's Garry Shandling's Show was award winning mind bending television for 4 seasons and its influence is clearly seen in the best TV comedies through the decades to follow Enjoy all 16 episodes from the first of four seasons of this much loved classic now on DVD.
