Oz: The Complete Sixth Season R1 £25
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/Oz.jpg
" The sixth and final season of HBO's prison drama Oz--which aired in
2003--is brutal, passionate, and gritty. Compellingly addictive with
taut storylines and superb acting, each of the eight episodes on this
3-disc set nicely paves the way for the series finale, which wraps the
show up in a satisfying (and surprising) manner. Often told through the
eyes (and voice) of deceased prisoner Augustus Hill (Harold Perrineau,
Lost), Oz isn't an easy show to watch. Inmates are routinely raped,
tortured, and killed--not out of need, but out of boredom and cruelty.
And in a corrupt system where too few bureaucrats actually care about
these men's lives, few are willing to do anything about it. Those that
do give a damn--Sister Peter Marie (Rita Moreno, West Side Story),
Father Mukada (B.D. Wong, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Dr. Nathan
(Lauren Velez), Warden Glynn (Ernie Hudson), McManus (Terry
Kinney)--face an uphill battle.
One of the strongest storylines is the ongoing romance between murderer
Keller (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU and Beecher (Lee Tergesen),
who's hoping to be paroled. Series creator Tom Fontana doesn't allow
their arc to be diluted by any idealistic expectations. The viewer is
acutely aware that Beecher is an easy target for annihilation whether or
not he is released from prison. The viewer is never quite as certain of
Keller's motives--whether they're borne of love and affection, or a
selfish need to satisfy his own primal urges. Like Beecher, Alvarez
(Kirk Acevedo) is trying to keep his own nose clean in the hopes that
he'll be eligible for parole three years down the line. It's easy to
understand the almost suffocating feeling he lives every day, knowing
that three years may as well be a lifetime when you're behind bars and
the target of both your former gang and the Aryan brothers, led by
Schillinger (J.K. Simmons, Law & Order: SVU, the Spider-Man films). And
Ryan (Dean Winters) desperately tries to save his mentally retarded
brother Cyril (played by Dean's real-life sibling Scott William Winters)
from being executed.
There are a few subplots that don't ring true, such as the quasi romance
between a librarian (Patti LuPone) and one of the prisoners, and an
elderly inmate's (Joey Grey) implausible death wish. And for all the
constraints the majority of convicts face, some appear to have almost
free run of the prison. Still, Fontana has created a vivid, dark world
where the occasional acts of humanity are as important as the non-stop
chaos that is Oz. While it certainly helps to have seen the previous
five seasons of the series to enjoy this season, it's not mandatory.
These last eight episodes work fine as a stand-alone piece of drama."

She Hate Me R1 £5
http://www.boomspeed.com/gpr79/hate.jpg
" In a long and varied career, She Hate Me is easily one of Spike Lee's
most unusual films. On the one hand, it's a drama. On the other, it's a
comedy. Then there's the structure: a crazy quilt made up out of several
different stories. Even the style is a patchwork incorporating animation
and pseudo-documentary--in the vein of Lee's 1986 hit She's Gotta Have
It. It all revolves around one John Henry "Jack" Armstrong (8 Mile's
Anthony Mackie), a successful executive at a biotech company much like
ImClone (the one that brought Martha Stewart down). When Jack blows the
whistle and loses his job, ex-fiancée Fatima (Ray's Kerry Washington),
who left him for another woman, offers the now-penniless Jack $10,000 to
impregnate her. All goes well, so they set up business together, and he
proceeds to impregnate countless gay women, including mafia princess
Simona (Monica Bellucci). If there's one thing that keeps it all
together, it's Mackie, who handles the many changes Lee puts him through
with admirable aplomb.
Also starring Woody Harrelson, Brian Dennehy, Q-Tip, Bai Ling, Jim
Brown, Ellen Barkin and others! "
