Earth, Wind & Fire-Live at Montreux 1997 (1997)
Mike B
Earth, Wind & Fire showcase their prodigious back catalogue in this concert recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1997. Effortlessly blending R&B, jazz, pop, disco, and soul into a 100 minute set, Earth, Wind & Fire will have you tapping your toes, nodding your head, and remembering that classic songs never grow old.

It Rains on Our Love (Det regnar på vår kärlek) (Directors Suite) (1946)
John S
The poor video and audio quality of this transfer to DVD and the melodramatic elements to the plot of It Rains on Our Love makes this DVD a recommendation for true Bergman fans only who want to own this film with English menus and subtitling.

Rules of Attraction, The (Blu-ray) (2002)
AdamG
|
The modern cult classic (if indeed you can use those words together) black dramedy lands on a worthy Blu-ray, albeit without anything new in the extras department.

Imagine That (2009)
AdamG
|
A surprising return to form from Eddie Murphy in this movie about an adult who begins to indulge his daughter's imaginary friends when they start dishing out top-shelf financial advice.

Peek-a-boo (Ah! Les belles bacchantes) (1954)
Vanessa A
|
A French Musical Hall spoof, which stars Louis de Funès, Colette Brosset, Michel Serrault and many others. The transfer is satisfactory, considering the age of the film.

Mr. Leguignon Lampiste (Monsieur Leguignon, lampiste) (1952)

A heart-warming French classic film about the struggles of the working class. The DVD is nicely presented with a remastered transfer and the original French soundtrack.

Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (2008)
DanielB
|
Another Chinese film about the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history hits local DVD and although it has some merit doesn't really stack up to other recent films like Red Cliff. Certainly of interest to genre fans.

Stephen Fry in America (2008)
Trevor D
|
Travelling around all of the states of the US in a black London cab sounds like a quest on The Greatest Race. Instead, it is British comedian/general wit Stephen Fry who entertains and educates as he crosses the huge and varied landscape of the USA. Stephen Fry in America is pretty light entertainment but delivers an enjoyable and entertaining journey. Light on the extras but a decent DVD transfer.

Attack the Gas Station (Juyuso seubgyuksageun) (1999)
Ray N
|
South Korean cinema may well be the most diverse, innovative and vibrant in East Asia. Koreans deliver gritty crime drama, historical epics, Buddhist meditations, monster films, revenge drama, war, martial arts and an eastern / western. So why not a comedy? Of course, being Korean cinema it had to be a comedy with a definite hard edge: welcome to Attack the Gas Station.
