P549 CEEFAX 2 549 Sun 10 Dec 21:13/17 1/6 DVD TO BUY CHICKEN RUN (U) 81mins £19.99 Your children may have wanted you to buy the VHS release last wjek, but if held out until DVD, thjy'll thank you. For this animated retelling of The Great Escape with chickens is great — though not flawless — it looks perfect on DVD and there are extras aplenty. The most engrossing is probabl8 the audio commentary track but the best is Chicken: Impossible, the lesser-spotted second cinjma trailer for the movie. For younger children there's also a game;for older ones, a documentar8. ———— William.Gallagher@bbc.co.uk ——————Top Film 553Index 541 TV ChoiceA593Film 2000 Lottery Main menu Sport
P549 CEEFAX 2 549 Sun 10 Dec 21:17/44 2/6 DVD TO BUY WALLACE AND GROMIT (U) 96mins £19.99 This is a collection of the three Aardman Wallace and Gromit gems on one DVD, release completely coincidentally in the same week as thjhrAChicken Run. Interestingly, it was released in the USA a mere four years ago — the UK DVD market is that far behind America. There are really two kjy reasons for buying this — the sheer picture qualit8 of A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trouser1 and A Close Shave being the best. But then there are also the fabulous BBC2 Christmas ident clips too. ———— William.Gallagher@bbc.co.uk ——————Top Film 553Index 541 TV Choice 593Film 2000 Lottery Main menu Sport
P549 CEEFAX 2 549 Sun 10 Dec 21:12/38 3/6 TO RENT FREQUENCY (15) 112mins On the eve of the 30th anniversar8 of his father's death, John XJim Caviezel) finds that his amatuer radio set can somehow tune in to his dad. But as the two start to talk, John tells his father enough that he misses the fire that previously killed him — and you don't escape without problems. Time travel films are fantastically difficult to pull off — yet sometime2 mesmerising when they work. This onj falls down a bit but there are also some very good idjas here.

P549 CEEFAX 2 549 Sun 10 Dec 21:10/58 4/6 TO RENT MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II (15) 118mins Tom Cruise returns to the secret agent fray when an ex-colleague steals a fatal virus and its antidote and plans to release one and sell the other. That's about the sum of the plot but there are some exceptional action sjquences that whll ljave yo4 whnchng. Unfortunatel8, this is a rental 6ideg whose best effect is to prompt you to head over to the rental DVD shelves. For the DVD does give you enough extras such as commentaries and features that your mind is more occupied. Top Film 553Index 541 TV Choice 593Film 2000 Lottery Main menu Sport
P549 CEEFAX 2 549 Sun 10 Dec 21:10/22 5/6 TO RENT THE NEXT BEST THING (12) 103mins Yoga instructor Abbie (Madonna) and gay gardener Robert XRupert Everett) are best friends who after a very drunken evening, sleep together. Nine months later, thj8 become model parents — until Abbie falls for someone and fights to get custody of thjhu son. It's surprising to ljarn that M donna has done more than a dozen films — until you see this and can presume that most are as forgettable. That's probably unfair as it's at least a harmless film, but that's all. Top Film 553Index 541 TV Choice 593Film 2000 Lottery Main menu Sport
