Too Fat for 40 (DVD): Kevin Smith Too Fat for 40 (DVD)
Kevin Smith; Directed by Joey Figueroa, Zak Knutson 1
R436 R338 Discovery Miles 3 380 Save R98 (22%) Ships in 15 - 30 working days

Film director and actor Kevin Smith offers his reflections on a variety of subjects. Smith, the director of films including 'Dogma' (1999), 'Chasing Amy' (1997) and 'Cop Out' (2010), is known for his loquaciousness during public appearances, captured notably in the documentary 'An Evening With Kevin Smith' (2002). The ostensible premise for the extended and far-reaching soliloquy that comprises this show is a question and answer session at Count Basie Theatre in his hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey. However, in trademark fashion Smith is only able to answer one question, as a specific enquiry leads him to reflect on subjects as diverse as marijuana, working with Bruce Willis and the inspiration for a number of his films.

Sir David Attenborough 4
R712 R445 Discovery Miles 4 450 Save R267 (38%) Ships in 15 - 30 working days

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough and from the award-winning team behind Planet Earth and Blue Planet comes the ultimate portrait of the earth's Polar regions.

The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements – the weather, the ocean and the ice – is unmatched anywhere else on our planet. Yet these harsh environments are teeming with life: home to iconic animals from polar bears to emperor penguins and from killer whales to wandering albatrosses.

Using the latest camera technology to film on land, from the air, underwater and below the ice caps, Frozen Planet follows their fascinating lives throughout the seasons as they struggle to survive. With spectacular polar landscapes and amazing animal behaviour, often filmed for the first time, it captures the drama of an extreme natural world.

With both Poles under grave threat from climate change, this extraordinary series may be the last chance to witness these great wildernesses before they change forever.
