Robin of Sherwood - Season 1

When Robin of Sherwood debuted in 1984, it revolutionized the legend of Robin Hood with a young, scruffy Robin (Michael Praed, later to appear on Dynasty) and his ragged, rough-and-tumble band of thieves. Fusing the derring-do of the traditional story with a more Arthurian magic element (ranging from druidic visions to outright black magic), Robin of Sherwood was an immediate sensation. Unfortunately, not all revolutions age well, and some viewers may have trouble getting past Robin's flowing 1980s hairstyle or the Clannad soundtrack, which seems to have been played on the cheapest, tinniest synthesizer available. More open-minded audiences will enjoy the show's virtues: Gritty, realistic medieval sets and costumes; an amusing blend of feudal politics and occult danger (episodes featured everything from possession to love spells to devil-worshiping nuns); a scenery-chewing performance from Nickolas Grace (Brideshead Revisited) as the Sheriff of Nottingham (the bad guys always have the most fun); and the surly presence of a young Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) as Will Scarlet. All the classic characters are there, including a dewy Lady Marion, towering Little John, plump Friar Tuck, and more. Though sometimes cheesy, Robin of Sherwood never slid into camp, and fans appreciate its earnest interpretation. Set 1 includes the 13 episodes of the first two series, along with a bonus disk of retrospective interviews with the cast and creators, outtakes, and other appealing features. --Bret Fetzer

9 Dead Gay Guys

Offensively funny politically incorrect and in-your-face 9 Dead Gay Guys tells the story of Kenny and Byron two Irish lads who move to London to hit the big time. But what they end up doing is hustling for beer money at the local gay pub. Not that these two wholesome boys are gay but what's a little sex between strangers? Well maybe they are gay - or at least maybe Kenny is gay... he thinks. All of this is irrelevant; as "the Queen" is dead and there is some serious cash for the winner of the "Really Hard Red Bull Test" (involving 2 stacked cans and one real big appendage). Before this wild ride ends there are eight more dead locals in this raucous fast paced and whacked-out British import.System Requirements:Running Time 83 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 807839000757 Manufacturer No: TLAD066
