HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA - CHAPTER 1 (2024)

In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures' iconic Westerns, "Horizon: An American Saga" explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Kevin Costner's ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America. (BLU-RAY and DVD)

TO KILL A MASTERMIND (1979)

BE CAREFUL: no-one's safe as long as the evil kung-fu masters of the Qi Sha clan terrorise the land. Can they be stopped? The authorities have placed a spy in their ranks, but the clan - and their mysterious, unknown leader - won't go down without a fight. Or several... Barely pausing to catch its breath between brawls, To Kill A Mastermind was produced by Hong Kong's legendary Shaw Brothers studio and features the astounding acrobatics and mind-blowing martial arts skills that make their films so special. Long unavailable, and famously difficult to see. (BLU-RAY)

ALICE (1988)

When Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, so begins this dream expedition into the astonishing landscape of childhood, through many dangerous adventures, and ultimately to Alice's trial before the King and Queen of Hearts.

Czech animator Jan Svankmajer has created a masterpiece of cinema, a strikingly original interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. Svankmajer's Alice remains true to the absurdity of Carroll's original, but bears the stamp of his own distinctive style and obsessions. Combining techniques of animation and live action, he gives a new and fascinating dimension to the classic tale of childhood fantasies. (BLU-RAY)
