  William can't take it any more. The futility of existence has become too much. However, after ten failed attempts to kill himself, from bridge-leaping to the old toaster-in-a-bath routine, the young writer (Aneurin Barnard) seems to be as bad at death as he is at life. So he decides to outsource his suicide to an elderly hitman called Leslie (Tom Wilkinson). Leslie seems very keen; he even has a brochure offering different demise options, from the deluxe 'hero's death' to the no-frills 'quick and painless'. What happens, though, if he changes his mind? Includes subtitles for the Hard Of Hearing

• Lessons In Love | Blu Ray | (09/11/2015) from £12.84   |  Saving you £3.15 (24.53%)   |  RRP £15.99

  By day, Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan), is a well-respected professor at Trinity College in Cambridge, where he teaches 18th century romantic poetry. By night, Richard indulges his own romantic fantasies with a steady stream of beautiful undergraduates, including his most recent beau Kate (Jessica Alba). But when Kate tells him that she is pregnant the confirmed bachelor has mixed feelings as he's just met, and fallen for, her gorgeously sassy sister Olivia (Salma Hayek). Richard and Kate move to Malibu to raise their son Jake and Olivia returns to New York. Richard is devoted to his son and the few two years on the Pacific are idyllic. But professionally he has stalled and Kate has been distant, so Richard is a little hurt but not surprised when Kate confesses she has fallen in love with a younger man, Brian (Ben McKenzie). Richard wants to stay in the U.S. for Jake, but also to be with Olivia who has moved in, along with his father Gordon (Malcolm McDowell), who convinces Richard not to give up and do whatever it takes to hold his family together.

• My Name Is Bruce | DVD | (02/03/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

• Accidental Hero | DVD | (04/07/2005) from £16.19   |  Saving you £-10.20 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Dustin Hoffman plays a lowlife who happens upon a plane crash and rescues the passengers, but doesn't really care about the value of his deed or the attendant publicity when the media starts searching for the hero. Another fellow (Andy Garcia) steps into the gap and claims credit, and as his life changes for the better he takes on a Messianic glow. Geena Davis is the cynical television reporter who pushes the latter's fame in order to keep her story alive, and this film, directed by Stephen Frears (Prick Up Your Ears), takes a few familiar jabs at a manipulative and voyeuristic press. This is essentially an unofficial remake of Meet John Doe, though it is less dramatic and forceful in the end than Frank Capra's classic. Chevy Chase has an oddly anachronistic part as Davis' editor (maybe he thought he really was in Meet John Doe), but the film belongs to Hoffman, who makes his character a slightly cleaned-up version of the actor's own Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy. --Tom Keogh

• Blue Money | DVD | (19/09/2016) from £12.98   |  Saving you £4.00 (36.40%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Rocky Horror Show icon Tim Curry stars as a loveable aspiring actor/singer who finds himself tangling with gangsters in this witty and hugely entertaining television film from noted playwright Stewart Parker. Featuring a memorably charismatic turn from Billy Connolly as a demented Scotsman, Blue Money also stars Frances Tomelty, Dermot Crowley and Widows star Debby Bishop. It is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-transmitted aspect ratio. Vocal impressionist Larry Gormley barely makes ends meet as a mini-cab driver while waiting for his big break. When a dubious regular fare leaves a briefcase full of hot money in the back of his cab, Larry soon finds himself on the run from the Mob, the police, and Des a psychopathic Glaswegian hitch-hiker!

• George Of The Jungle 2 | DVD | (18/08/2003) from £12.98   |  Saving you £5.01 (38.60%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Although direct-to-video Disney sequels usually try to hide or simply ignore the issue, George of the Jungle 2 gleefully points out the lack of continuity between it and the original movie. Here, the good-natured narrator is happy to explain why Brendan Fraser has been replaced and why the special effects look cheaper: it's all a part of an effort to expand beyond the one-joke idea of a block-headed Tarzan who keeps swinging into trees. It's a pleasant surprise that all these self-referential nods and asides to the camera do indeed make hilarious viewing. Replacement Chris Showerman willingly takes on all manner of humiliation at the hands of CG jungle animals and his new extended family. George junior is the main by-product of the five-year gap, and thankfully has inherited brains from his mother's side (Julie Benz). In a dastardly plot to win back his love, Lyle (Thomas Haden Church, one of the few to reprise his role from the original) has the gang trooping back and forth to Las Vegas. With sight gags aplenty, bumbling George has more than just trees to avoid. --Paul Tonks
