How much Japanese cuteness can you handle?

Featuring the lovable Grey Totoro, this large and very soft plush doll measures 22 cm (8 inches) from the tips of his ears down to his toes and is easily controllable via the infrared log shaped remote control. With Totoro turned on, just press the leaf on the log and he will clumsily walk around and make this an instant hit with your kids. An excellent example of Japanese cute culture brought to life through modern technology.

It’s sale time again and Sendit are off already.

And when you can get The Quatermass Experiment for a fiver and Planet of the Apes for a tenner, it’s well worth having a look around.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away was a high point in a career laced with superlatives. The story plays like something that Narnia’s Lewis Carroll might have come up with after some dodgy sushi, spiriting its child heroine through a fantastical bathhouse full of supernatural characters, wild incidents and high adventure.

But this was not his first film, and this three pack allows you to not only rejoin Sen in the world of Yubaba, but also to to discover two of Miyazaki’s earlier films - Castle in the Sky and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

A must for Miyazaki fans.

This is a 3D desktop calendar that features all the great characters from their world-famous My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro) rendered in beautiful pre-painted resin.

This desktop calendar is approximately 13 x 19 cm (5 x 7 inches) with 13 sheets, and comes with a separate My Neighbor Totoro resin piece to place on top of the calendar for decoration. You can use this great desktop calendar as a very special picture frame when the calendar pages are finished. Because it’s only available right now, it will be something you’ll treasure into the future.

Who can fail to appreciate a fantasy as rich and epic as Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings?

The extended editions of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings present the greatest trilogy in film history in the most ambitious sets in DVD history. In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, evocative New Zealand locales, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast, but most of all from his own adaptation with co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, preserving Tolkien’s vision and often his very words, but also making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film. While purists complained about these changes and about characters and scenes left out of the films, the almost two additional hours of material in the extended editions (about 11 hours total) help appease them by delving more deeply into Tolkien’s music, the characters, and loose ends that enrich the story, such as an explanation of the Faramir-Denethor relationship, and the appearance of the Mouth of Sauron at the gates of Mordor. In addition, the extended editions offer more bridge material between the films, further confirming that the trilogy is really one long film presented in three pieces (which is why it’s the greatest trilogy ever–there’s no weak link). The scene of Galadriel’s gifts to the Fellowship added to the first film proves significant over the course of the story, while the new Faramir scene at the end of the second film helps set up the third and the new Saruman scene at the beginning of the third film helps conclude the plot of the second.

To top it all off, the extended editions offer four discs per film: two for the longer movie, plus four commentary tracks and stupendous DTS 6.1 ES sound; and two for the bonus material, which covers just about everything from script creation to special effects. The argument was that fans would need both versions because the bonus material is completely different, but the features on the theatrical releases are so vastly inferior that the only reason a fan would need them would be if they wanted to watch the shorter versions they saw in theaters (the last of which, The Return of the King, merely won 12 Oscars). The LOTR extended editions without exception have set the DVD standard by providing a richer film experience that pulls the three films together and further embraces Tolkien’s world, a reference-quality home theater experience, and generous, intelligent, and engrossing bonus features.

Pixar are great. Not only is the quality of thei animation technically superb, but - more importantly - their films consistently tell outstandingly good stories.

So here’s your chance to revist The Incredibles, Monsters Inc, A Bug’s Life and Finding Nemo.

Enjoy.

Star Wars was the film that changed the face of Hollywood forever. A good old-fashioned adventure film… in space, that spawned countless imitations, sequels and tributes.

It’s probably true to say that if the film had flopped - as was widely predicted at the time - we would be hailing it today as a forgotten treasure of 70s cinema.

It’s one of life’s little ironies that, when he signed up to star in a caper about a refined jewel thief, David Niven had no idea that The Pink Panther was about to be completely stolen by Peter Sellers’ histerical performance as the hapless Inspector Clouseau and that it was Sellers who guaranteed, not only the success of the first film, but also all of the sequels that are also included in this box set.

The films, in case you needed reminding, are: The Pink Panther, A Shot In The Dark, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Revenge of the Pink Panther, and Trail of the Pink Panther. The collection also includes The Pink Panther Story, a 1978 special That’s Panthertainment, The Unknown Peter Sellers documentary, an audio commentary and six of the best of the Pink Panther cartoons, among much else.

So here’s the deal. With Christmas nearly upon us, you’re going to need all the family films you can find. So, from now until it’s too late, we present Five Films for Christmas.

First up, Indiana Jones, in which Steven Spielberg takes the cliffhanger serials from the 1930s and updates them into a truly spectacular trilogy.

The boxed set includes Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, as well as almost three hours worth of extras .

What can I say? An interactive, electronic board game based on the legendary Doctor Who.

Bring some daleks into your home.
