Red Dwarf: Just The Shows - Vol. 1 & 2 Box Set
They say every story about love, friendship and betrayal extols a key lesson in virtue and morality. This is not one of those stories. Jonah (Munro Chambers, Turbo Kid), Richard (Christopher Gray, TV's The Mist) and Sasha (Emily Tyra, Code Black) have been friends a long time maybe too long. Following a ferocious bust-up, Richard tries to make amends in the form of a sailing trip on his family yacht. After all, a friendship is the kind of ship that never sinks until the yacht breaks down and the trio are left stranded in the middle of the ocean. As food and water supplies start to sink and rivalries, dark secrets and sexual tension start to surface, the question becomes: which of these three broken humans will run out of air first? Dubbed a twisty little thriller (Eye For Film) that will appeal to horror lovers everywhere (Love Horror), Harpoon is Edgar Allan Poe by way of Seinfeld and an exercise in brilliant pacing, direction and acting. As the story takes darkly comedic and always unexpected turns, the three leads crescendo into a culmination of their respective crises of conscience except the crisis here is that they have no conscience.

It's brown alert time all over again for Red Dwarf fans with the fifth season of the much-loved sci-fi/comedy series. Episode-wise, it's business as usual for the crew of the Red Dwarf--that is, if one considers encountering an alien squid that squirts a despair-inducing hallucinogen ("Back to Reality", later voted the best episode of the series by viewers and Stephen Hawking!), evil (and not particularly bright) versions of the crew ("Demons and Angels"), a virus that causes insanity ("Quarantine"), and a trip to a moon created entirely from the mind of the insufferable hologram Rimmer ("Terrorform") business as usual. In short, it's six hilarious episodes, highlighted by the typically terrific writing of creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor (who also direct two episodes). As with the previous deluxe DVD releases, Series V features a wealth of supplemental features, the most intriguing of which is a look at the failed attempt to recreate the show in America (with U.K. cast member Robert Llewellyn and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Terry Farrell as Cat). Also included are cast and fan commentaries, featurettes on the show's "science" and villains, special effects tests, blooper reels, and a sampling of Grant and Naylor's BBC 4 radio sketch "Dave Hollins, Space Cadet", which served as the inspiration for Red Dwarf. Dedicated DVD owners will also be rewarded by Easter eggs lurking throughout the menus. --Paul Gaita
The entire fifth season of the popular BBC sci-fi comedy set on board the mining spaceship Red Dwarf. In 'Holoship', Rimmer (Chris Barrie) falls in love with Commander Nirvanah Crane (Jane Horrocks), captain of a computer-generated spaceship. In 'The Inquisitor', Lister (Craig Charles)'s body is taken over by a self-repairing stimulant, known as The Inquisitor, who flies back and forth through time judging the quality of people's lives - and obliterating them if they do not meet his exacting requirements. In 'Terrorform', the crew cross the Swamp of Despair to look for Rimmer who has been captured on a 'psy-moon': a moon that shapes itself to a person's psyche. In 'Quarantine', the crew contract a Luck Virus and a Sexual Magnetism Virus from a hologram in an abandoned research centre. 'Demons and Angels' sees Lister and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) playing with their new invention, a triplicator - but unfortunately the machine is having more than a few teething problems. Finally, in 'Back to Reality', the gang 'wake up' to find they have been playing a computer game called Red Dwarf for the last four years, and they are actually a bunch of sad geeks... apart from Lister, who is really a rich and successful yuppie called Sebastian.

Here's an unexpected collection of rare John Wayne Western Classics. An unorthodox Western for its time, anticipating the social and moral issues that Clint Eastwood found in the genre a generation later, Angel and the Badman (1947) is the first film produced by Wayne, which may account for the rather hesitant action sequences and uneasy balance between the hero as gun-toting outlaw and man of conscience who is drawn into a Quaker family and their duty of forgiveness. Gail Russell is sympathetic as Penelope, and there's a priceless cameo from Harry Carey as the sheriff. The two shorter features (54 minutes each) are pre-Stagecoach Wayne, interesting for the light they shed on his development of the authentic Wayne persona. Blue Steel (1934) finds him joining forces with the doughty George Hayes in a scenario that pre-echoes For a Few Dollars More. Winds of the Wasteland (1936) pays tribute to the mail-run pioneers, Wayne and Lane Chandler beating crooked banker Douglas Cosgrove at his own game. The closing stagecoach chase must have seemed thrilling back then. On the DVD John Wayne Western Classics three-disc set is a no-frills presentation, though with decent remastering at 1.33:1 aspect ratio There's no attempt to disguise the low-budget production values of the 30s films, whose undeniable creakiness is surely an attraction in itself. Wayne and Western devotees need not hesitate. --Richard Whitehouse
