• Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/Three Amigos | DVD | (28/07/2008) from £17.97   |  Saving you £-4.99 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Dir. Frank Oz) (1988): One's got a sophisticated suave and debonair con act. The other's got... well an act. Together Steve Martin and Michael Caine are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and they're absolutely ruining the Riviera in this wonderfully crafted absolutely charming classy and consistently amusing comedy. Martin is Freddy Benson a small-time con man sleazing his way through Europe on whatever handouts he can scam. Caine is Lawrence Jamieson an impeccably dressed and high-minded artiste who thinks Freddy's giving him and all con men a bad name. At first Lawrence agrees to help Freddy spruce up his stunts and his wardrobe. But when it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn't big enough for the both of them they make a winner-takes-all wager over the fortune of a nave American soap heiress (Glenne Headly): the first one to 'clean her out' can make the other clear out - and keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting tourists to himself! Three Amigos (Dir. John Landis) (1986): In the days of silent film serials one of the noblest trios to grace the screen and get the bad guys was the Three Amigos: Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase) Lucky Day (Steve Martin) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short). But when their Hollywood glory days wane they receive a letter from a desperate community in Mexico that thinks their heroic characters are for real: they want the Three Amigos to come to their tiny Mexican village and defeat the notorious bandit El Guapo (Alfonso Arau). Unfortunately the Three Amigos misinterpret the letter - they're off to visit the Mexican village dressed as their movie characters thinking they're getting a high paying gig. A plethora of pinatas and a comedy of errors occurs before they can prove themselves as worthy as their screen heroes!

• Pot O' Gold | DVD | (25/08/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  While 'Born To Dance' is the movie musical most associated with James Stewart the largely forgotten Pot o' Gold is the one in which he is most involved with music. The plot has Stewart as Jimmy Haskell a music-loving harmonica-playing man who comes across a poor but excellent band (led by Horace Heidt) that rehearses on a boarding-house roof. Jimmy becomes interested in the people who own the boarding-house Ma McCorkle (Mary Gordon) and her lovely daughter Molly (Paulette Goddard). Jimmy and Molly combine forces to promote the career of Horace and the lads but that task is made difficult by Jimmy's wealthy Uncle Charley. This is a rare opportunity to hear Stewart sing with surprisingly pleasant results. Songs from a group of writers include: Do You Believe In Fairy tales? (Mack David Vee Lawnhurst) When Johnny Toots His Horn (Hy Heath Fred Rose) Slap happy Band Hi Cy What's Cookin'? Pete The Piper Broadway Cabellero (Henry Sullivan Lou Forbes).

• Where The Buffalo Roam | Blu Ray | (27/04/2015) from £7.99   |  Saving you £7.00 (87.61%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Bill Murray is in his early-career, shambling glory as Hunter S. Thompson, the gonzo journalist with a fondness for Wild Turkey and firearms. While Murray does not do as exact an impersonation of Thompson as Johnny Depp (in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), he does capture Thompson's dazed, anarchic nature. Unfortunately, the movie around him is just anarchic: a series of episodes (true or invented) from Dr. Thompson's career, circa 1968-72. The haphazard structure is probably meant to suggest the spirit of the counterculture or something, but it's just flabby storytelling. Thanks to Murray's blissful delivery, there are scenes that have a stoned giddiness to them: Thompson and his attorney (Peter Boyle) terrifying an unsuspecting hitchhiker, or Thompson alone in a men's room with Richard Nixon. Neil Young contributes some music, and Murray warbles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" while drunkenly piloting a plane. --Robert Horton

• The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It | DVD | (16/05/2011) from £6.32   |  Saving you £9.67 (153.01%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This disjointed comedy spoofs four Judd Apatow efforts: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Superbad (Apatow directed two and produced the other two). It gets off to an awkward start when Andy (MadTV's Bryan Callen), a middle-aged comedian, has a nightmare in which his hairy chest horrifies his topless date. The rest of the movie continues along the same vein--more disgusting moments, more underdressed women. As it turns out, Andy's housemates, Michael (Steven Nicholas) and Jonah (Steven Sims, best of the lot), also plan to lose their virginity in the days to come. All three hang out with characters who recall Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad's McLovin), the "Can you hear me now?" guy, and a black Benjamin Button, who ages in reverse (and dresses like Samuel L. Jackson). While the teens try to track down booze for a party, Andy meets Kim (Noureen DeWulf), who has to break their date when she gets a job in Hawaii, and Sarah (Mircea Monroe), who loses control of her bodily functions when she drinks too much. Then one of the ladies gets pregnant, and everyone ends up in Maui, where complications, naturally, ensue. Along with the Apatow-inspired situations, co-writer-director Craig Moss (Saving Ryan's Privates) spoofs American Pie, Twilight, Slumdog Millionaire, and There Will Be Blood, but The 41-Year-Old Virgin feels more like a series of sketches than a full-fledged feature, the gross-out humour gets old fast, and Moss squanders all the sweetness of Apatow's best work. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
