Veronica Mars: Season 2 R1 £28
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/vmars.jpg
Features Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter and Kevin Smith!
" The second season of Veronica Mars showcases the series'
crackling-sharp writing and topnotch acting of star Kristen Bell and the
rest of the cast. Veronica still struggles with the class wars in sunny
Neptune, Calif., trying to find a balance between high school, love,
helping her dad as a private eye, and doing the right thing. The ongoing
thread of season 2 is the aftermath of a horrifying tragedy, and as
Veronica and dad Keith try to find out what caused it, mysteries only
compound. Shifty Sheriff Lamb, town powerbrokers, and various
high-school cliques seem to undermine Veronica at every turn.
Thankfully, Veronica has more chutzpah than Phillip Marlowe, and the
side-of-the-mouth one-liners to match: "Well, actually," Veronica says
dryly to a bad guy, "despite popular opinion, you really can't beat the
truth out of someone." Some of the show's broad strokes echo the stellar
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yet Bell's Veronica doesn't need the
supernatural to tackle a challenge. She's a real girl, conflicted,
prickly, lovesick, yearning, sometimes even scared. As Veronica tries to
solve the mystery, she must also handle her own heartbreaks, and the
moral stumbles of those closest to her. Happily, she's got a great best
pal, Wallace (the effervescent Percy Daggs III), and possibly the
coolest, most understanding TV dad ever (Enrico Colantoni). The boxed
set includes 22 episodes (many with deleted scenes), a behind-the-scenes
mini-doc, a cute gag reel, and a short profile film, Veronica Mars: Not
Your Average Teen Detective. You can say that again. "

Freedomland R1 £8
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/freedomland.jpg
" There are an abundance of outstanding performances in the dramatic
thriller Freedomland, with leads Samuel L. Jackson and Julianne Moore
leading the way for a string of strong actors. The movie is based on a
dense novel by the talented and highly acclaimed writer Richard Price
(who adapted the screenplay); the setting is a fictional town in
Northern New Jersey and the low-income housing complex at its heart. As
a housing project cop who's respected for keeping the peace and being
fair with the residents, Lorenzo Council (Jackson) stumbles onto the
case of an apparent carjacking and child abduction one night that throws
the projects into turmoil. But there's something fishy in the details
Brenda Martin (Moore) slowly brings to light regarding her abductor and
her missing child. Jackson and Moore deliver a series of superbly
nuanced monologues with varying degrees of passion, but the story can
always keep up with their talky exposition. Most of the accliam lies
with director Joe Roth, who sometimes finds it hard to make the
intricacies of Price's screenplay lively enough. Even so, Freedomland is
a serious commentary about racial tension and personal emotion.
Supporting players Edie Falco (of The Sopranos fame) and the grandly
aging character actor William Forsythe as Lorenzo's partner add greatly
to this succesful attempt at a deep dramatic statement. "
Special Features:
Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 5.1)

(1.33:1)

The Ringer R1 £7
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/ringer.jpg
" Peter and Bobby Farrelly have always expressed an especially warm but
unsentimental attitude in their films toward those with disabilities,
most notably in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY and SHALLOW HAL. THE
RINGER, which they produced (but neither wrote nor directed), takes this
trait to feverish new heights. JACKASS-cum-leading man stars Johnny
Knoxville as office schmo Steve Barker, whose request for more
responsibility at his job indirectly results in the severing of four
fingers from the hand of Stavi, the mild-mannered office janitor. When
Steve requests financial help from his morally-questionable gambling
addict Uncle Gary (Brian Cox), Stevie finds himself posing as Jeffy an
athlete in the Special Olympics whose victory against track champion
Jimmy (Leonard Flowers) could spell an end to Uncle Gary's debts and the
reattaching of Stavi's fingers. Though a basic description of its
premise would make most viewers cry foul, THE RINGER skirts the obvious
charge of exploitation by making the mentally challenged characters the
only ones to realise that Steve is only acting handicapped. Steve's
fellow Olympians are cast with a combination of veteran character actors
and real-life former Special Olympians (most notably Edward Barbanell,
John Taylor, and Leonard Flowers) who, while lending the film
authenticity, also spark with comic timing and the true joy of being on
camera. Knoxville once again makes an affable hero, and Ricky Blitt's
screenplay, while crass by nature, keeps true vulgarity at bay in favour
of a good nature that makes simplicity an asset. "
