• Sherlock Holmes - Christmas Pudding | DVD | (12/02/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £2.99

  Sherlock Holmes was by all accounts born on 6th January 1854, and for more than a century his name and appearance has been known in every country of the world. The pipe, the deerstalker cap and the magnifying glass - details which are so familiar that if Sherlock Holmes were to appear amongst us today we should recognise him at once. Holmes is still however an enigmatic character, wrapped in as much mystery as the crimes he tried to solve, and as in most legends, it is often difficult to separate fact from fiction. According to the Arthur Conan Doyle stories, which first appeared in the Strand Magazine in 1891, he practised as a consulting detective between 1881-1904, while living at 221b Baker Street with his friend and colleague Doctor John H. Watson. These short films, made for television and produced by Sheldon Reynolds, were filmed in France in the mid 1950s and feature Ronald Howard, the son of the actor Leslie Howard, as Sherlock Holmes and Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr Watson. This DVD disc features 5 episodes from this rare and interesting series.: The Case of the Christmas Pudding & The Case of the Baker Street Bachelors, The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, The Case of the Reluctant Carpenter, The Case of the Perfect Husband

• The Bone Collector --Superbit | DVD | (14/10/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Released in late 1999, The Bone Collector was originally promoted as a thriller in the tradition of The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, suggesting that it would earn a place among those earlier, better films. Nice try, but no cigar. The Bone Collector settles instead for mere competence and the modest rewards of a well-handled formula. With a terrific cast at his service, director Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games) turns the pulpy indulgence of Jeffery Deaver's novel into a slick potboiler that is grisly fun only if you don't pick it apart. Noyce expertly builds palpable tension around a series of gruesome murders that lead us into the darkest nooks of New York City. Now a bedridden quadriplegic prone to life-threatening seizures and suicidal depression, forensics detective Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) gets a new lease on life with a sharp young beat cop (Angelina Jolie) who's a wizard at analyzing crime scenes. She does field work while he deciphers clues from his high-tech Manhattan loft, and as they narrow the search their lives are increasingly endangered. As this formulaic plot grows mouldy, Noyce resorts to narrative shortcuts, using perfunctory scenes to manipulate the viewer and taking morbid pleasure in his revelation of the murder scenes. And yet it all works, to a point, and the cast (including Queen Latifah and Luiz Guzmán) is much better than the material. If you're looking for a few good thrills, The Bone Collector is a pretty safe bet. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
