• Mohabbatein | DVD | (21/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £21.99

  Mohabbatein ("Love Stories") is, as the title suggests, thoroughly concerned with love and romance; it's a hugely popular Bollywood blockbuster about three young men at an exclusive boarding school who fall in love with three local young women. Opposition comes from the head of the school (Amitabh Bachan) and support from the violin teacher, who introduces an element of Dead Poets Society into a story which references both Grease (1978) and West Side Story (1961). Actually this is Aditya Chopra's follow-up to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), which also starred Shahrukh Khan. The rest of the featured players are almost all new, and inject a vitality into every scene so that even at three-and-a-half hours Mohabbatein rarely drags. The soundtrack sweeps all before it in the seven big production numbers, which add a Western pop-video gloss to the complex, exhilarating musical arrangements. Likewise the choreography fuses traditional Indian elements with contemporary Western dance, and while the men are handsome and charming, the girls are stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly sensual, and scantily clad in a thoroughly modern fashion. Mohabbatein is a colourful, humorous though haunting romantic drama, which even those unfamiliar with Indian cinema should find highly enjoyable. On the DVD: The feature is in Hindi with subtitle options for English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Malay. The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is often atmospheric, though only really comes into its own in the dynamic musical numbers. The anamorphically enhanced presentation of the original 2.35:1 cinema image is NTSC; while colours are excellent and the detail level well above VHS there is a slight lack of sharpness compared to the best PAL transfers. The second disc contains 64 minutes of English language interviews, 11 TV trailers and an anamorphic theatrical trailer, a scored stills gallery, 18 minutes of deleted scenes, including one musical number, with optional English language director's commentary, plus a 44-minute "making-of" documentary. The attractive packaging puts all but the most lavish US releases to shame. --Gary S Dalkin

• Blonde | DVD | (25/10/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Based on the best selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates this provocative miniseries delivers a seductive portrait of the captivating star that became America's most enduring sex symbol. The stunning saga of Marilyn Monroe's life begins with her traumatic upbringing as Norma Jean: the damage inflicted by a psychotic mother the absence of any father the devastation of four years in an orphanage and betrayal in a foster home. On the young Monroe's rocky road to stardom she performs sexual favour for studio chiefs who underestimate her talent and intelligence while reaping millions from her movies. Her vulnerability is often camouflaged by volatile behaviour. At times self-absorbed and frightened Monroe could also be tough outspoken and vulgar. Her notorious perfectionism is her shield against the ridicule and failure she continually fears. Monroe's stormy marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller reveal her insatiable need for security and love. She is doomed by an unimaginable combination of Hollywood exploitation dependence on drugs and flawed choices of lovers and mates. JFK's cruel manipulation and shadowy intervention is the final blow to her fragile existence. Blonde draws a sharp-eyed picture of the movie business during the 1940s and 50s and conveys a nation's fascination with a legendary cultural icon. Starring Poppy Montgomery (Without A Trace Law & Order) as Norma Jean with Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy Transformers 3 Enchanted) Griffin Dunne (Law & Order Frasier) Patricia Richardson (The West Wing Home Improvement) and Kirstie Alley (Cheers Look Who's Talking).
