• T-Rex | DVD | (29/10/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  IMAX is a format designed to top anything that standard cinema can achieve. So five years after Jurassic Park here's the biggest wow-factor achievable with CGI dinosaurs, in less than half the screen time. The cute kid being ignored by her parents is Ally (Liz Stauber). Her dad is Palaeontologist Dr. Hayden (Thirtysomething's Peter Horton), and out at Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada he's just discovered what Ally theorises may be a T-Rex egg. The archaeological work is known as "digging into Deep Time". When she accidentally cracks the egg, Ally is suddenly propelled through a bone-strewn time warp. Floating through times surrounding the Cretaceous Era, she meets painter Charles Knight and then the "most famous bone digger in history", Barnum Brown. Both encourage her to pursue her theory of parental instincts regardless of anyone's indifference. With some impressive dinosaur scares, this is a fun if familiar ride.On the DVD: originally intended for 3-D viewing on the big screen, T-Rex is still effective shrunk to 1.33:1 widescreen. It's coupled with an excellent 5.1 Dolby sound mix that separates the roars nicely around the room. There's one trailer included, as well as a five-minute behind the scenes featurette with on-set interviews. --Paul Tonks

• Cunning Little Vixen | DVD | (14/09/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.39

  Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen is a real charmer of an opera, a tale that shows the natural world the composer had loved from childhood in its true colours: miraculous, beautiful, mysterious but also cruel. The inspiration came from a series of illustrated stories published in a Czech newspaper. The Vixen of the title is captured by a forester and taken home as a plaything for his children. She is soon thrown out of the house and has to make her own way in the world, encountering lust, stupidity, pride, love and ultimately death. This 1995 performance was taken from the Chatelet Theatre in Paris. Visually, Nicholas Hytner's production is a triumph, the animals wonderfully wittily wrought (the mosquito with its syringe for a nose, the mangey old dog, distasteful in baggy Y-fronts, the hideous, goggle-eyed frog). And it's also brilliantly cast: Eva Jenis's Vixen is funny, sexy, endearing and youthful enough in voice and figure to convince. Thomas Allen is a veteran of the role of the Forester, a huge presence and singing in impeccable Czech. In fact, there's not a weak performance here, and that goes for the dancers and instrumentalists as well as the singers. And at the helm, who better than Sir Charles Mackerras, arguably the greatest living interpreter of Janacek's music? This is in essence a grown-up fairy tale, ravishingly done and extremely highly recommended. On the DVD: The Cunning Little Vixen is presented on disc in vividly remastered PCM stereo, with 16:9 picture format that does full justice to the alluringly colourful designs. The disc is encoded for regions 2 and 5, and the menu and subtitle languages are English, German, French and Spanish. The useful booklet gives coherent background information and synopsis as well as full casting details. There's also a substantial (23-minute) trailer of other offerings from Arthaus Musik. --Harriet Smith
