Weather Woman Collection R1 2-Disc Boxset £10
Cover: http://www.boomspeed.com/gpr79/weatherw.jpg
John Waters meets Russ Meyer; Japanese style!
"This [Weather Woman] is a good, fun movie about a weather report woman
who becomes an overnight sensation and boosts the station's ratings
through the roof when, as a one-night substitute "o-tenki o-neesan"
(weather woman) she flashes her panties at the end of the report. She
becomes the usual weather woman, each night flashing her panties and
raising ratings around the nation. The previous woman tries through
devious means to get her job back, but is relegated instead to host
"Hentai-san, konnichiwa!" (Hello, Perverts), and after an unfortunate
enema experience, becomes the weather woman's personal maid. The station
owner's daughter returns from (as she keeps reminding us) Paris, replete
with an ever-present loaf of French bread, and turns the tables,
becoming the new weather woman, leading to a climactic showdown. This
movie has probably the finest songs and choreography ever done for a
Japanese movie on the theme of meteorology. Add to that copious panty
shots, female 'onani', and a welcomely gratuitous maid's soap-tongue
bath, and you have a winner. Highly fun, amusing, satirical, and sexy,
this is worth a watch. It is subtitled, which is as it should be. There
is also an anime version, not quite the equal of this. "

Undeclared - The Complete Series R1 £25
Cover: http://www.boomspeed.com/gpr79/undeclared.jpg
""Only the good die young," a certain piano man once sang. He could've
been talking about Undeclared, the hilarious, yet heartfelt college
comedy from Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show). Alas, FOX had even
less patience than NBC and cancelled it after 16 episodes, rather than
the 17 granted Apatow's other fan favorite, Freaks and Geeks.
Directed by Jake Kasdan (The Zero Effect), the pilot ("Prototype") sets
the scene. Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel, Million Dollar Baby) is a nerdy
18-year-old who grew seven inches over the past year and is looking to
make a new start at the University of North Eastern California. Well,
good news, bad news. At his first party, he makes it with Lizzie (Carla
Gallo, Carnivàle), the bubbly girl down the hall--then finds out she has
a boyfriend. Worse yet, Steven's dad, Hal (singer/songwriter Loudon
Wainwright III), crashes it to announce he's getting divorced.
Fortunately, Hal hits it off with Steven's roommates: Marshall (Timm
Sharp, Six Feet Under), Ron (Seth Rogen, Freaks and Geeks), and Brit
chick magnet Lloyd (Charlie Hunnam, Nicholas Nickleby). Other regulars
include Lizzie's boyfriend, Eric (Jason Segel, Freaks and Geeks), and
roommate Rachel (Monica Keena, Entourage).
Steven's freshman year will be an eventful one. Aside from the loss of
his virginity, he'll get his first job ("Jobs, Jobs, Jobs "), he'll meet
Adam Sandler ("The Assistant"), he'll hire a speed freak (Will Ferrell)
to write a term paper ("Addicts"), and his RA (Amy Poehler) will have a
fling with his dad ("Hal and Hillary"). Other guests include Fred
Willard ("So You Have a Boyfriend"), Mary Kay Place ("Parent's
Weekend"), and Ben Stiller (the Jon Favreau-directed "Eric's POV"). This
set includes all 16 episodes, plus one that wasn't broadcast ("God
Visits") and an alternate, Ted Nugent-ified version of the second ("Full
Bluntal Nugetry"). "

A Better Tomorrow Trilogy OOP DTS Boxset £23
Cover: http://www.boomspeed.com/gpr79/better_trio.jpg
The best releases of these John Woo classics on any region!
"A Better Tomorrow is the John Woo gangster classic that started it all,
a romantic, violent, swirlingly stylish melodrama about dueling
brothers--with a mesmerizing lead performance by Hong Kong's favorite
actor, Chow Yun-Fat. In repose, Chow's sleepy magnetism recalls the
glory days of Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, and Takakura Ken; when he's
stepping high, Chow has a unique, ebullient star presence, a man who
embraces life so unselfconsciously that he becomes vulnerable to all
kinds of suffering and heartache (he endures masochistic megadoses of
violence here). The sequence in which Chow's Mark avenges his betrayed
best friend---by blasting his way into, and then out of, a Chinese
restaurant, twin .45s blazing---is a swashbuckling standout. Woo's film
technique may have been more polished in later efforts, but Tomorrow has
a direct emotional power that is still unique. Kung fu star of the
1970s, Ti Lung is also terrific here as the 40ish established mobster,
relied upon by all, who allows conflicting loyalties toward Mark and
toward his younger brother, now a cop, to undermine the stability of his
position.
"I won't give you nothing, man; I give you ****," sneers charismatic
superstar Chow Yun Fat, in his role as a New York restaurateur who won't
knuckle under to the (Italian) mob in A Better Tomorrow II. Chow plays
the twin brother of the character he played in the original. The bond
between the natural siblings played by Ti Lung (as a reformed mobster)
and Leslie Cheung (as a hot shot cop) still resonate tellingly. As a
good-guy ex-thug driven batty by the slaying of his only daughter,
real-life Cinema City studio chief Dean Shek gets to play a garishly
extended "mad scene," foaming at the mouth, chewing on soup bones. A
later episode in which a dying man crawls to a phone booth to call his
wife (and newborn daughter) in the hospital must also be some kind of
lurid first in the soap sweepstakes. The final 15 minutes could be the
bloodiest single shoot-out sequence ever committed to celluloid. The
story line hasn't been shaped to any particular purpose here, but the
images have a golden Godfather-like glow, and this faintly
anachronistic, all-stops-out wish-fulfillment approach to moviemaking
still has a lot of power.
A Better Tomorrow III is prequel, set in Saigon during the fall, and the
weakest link in the trilogy, unacceptably restrained in both action and
emotion. Chow Yun-fat plays a younger version of Mark, his original
character, a hesitant young man digging for his roots in Vietnam, which
was also Tsui's birthplace, and we get to watch him assemble his totemic
trappings: the duster overcoat, the French shades, the twin .45s. The
surprise is that he gets most of them from a torchy dame played by Anita
Mui (the seductive singing ghost from Rouge), who's a more-than-worthy
high-noir love object. She can perforate miscreants with the best of
them. (John Woo wrote the original script, only to be supplanted as
director by his boss and supposed pal, Mr. Tsui; much of Woo's original
material ended up in his later magnum opus Bullet in the Head.) "
