Two film versions of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel
collected together in one set. In 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory' (1971), directed by Mel Stuart, young Charlie Bucket
(Peter Ostrum) wins one of the coveted 'Golden Tickets' from a
Wonka Bar that allows its holder to take a trip around the
eccentric Willy Wonka's (Gene Wilder) Chocolate Factory. Charlie
and the rest of the winners find themselves in a magical world of
chocolate rivers, Oompa Loompas, everlasting gobstoppers, lickable
wall-paper, golden egg-laying geese and chilling tales to warn
children not to misbehave. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay from his
own book. In Tim Burton's expansive remake, 'Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory' (2005), Freddie Highmore plays Charlie, whilst
Johnny Depp takes on the role of Wonka.
Dr Phibes (Vincent Price), horribly disfigured from the car crash
which killed his wife, decides to take revenge on the surgeons who
failed to save her. He and his mute assistant (Virginia North) set
about killing each surgeon using one of the biblical Seven Curses
of the Pharoah.
This punk ain’t feelin’ lucky. It’s 2032 and we live in the
worst cyberpunk future. Kiera is gigging her ass off to keep the
lights on, but her polycule’s social score is so dismal they’re
about to lose their crib. That’s why she’s out here chasing
cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who thinks this is The
Big Sleep. Then the latest job cuts too deep—hired to locate
Herrera’s ex-best friend (who’s also Kiera’s pro bono
attorney), they find him murdered instead. Their only lead: a stick
of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene. Next thing Kiera knows,
her new crush turns up missing—sans a hand (the real one, not the
cybernetic), and there’s the familiar stink of sandalwood across
the apartment. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for
both. She told Herrera to lose her number, but now the old man
might be her only way out of this bullshit... A fast-talker with a
heart of gold, Bang Bang Bodhisattva is both an odd-couple buddy
comedy that never knows when to shut up and an exploration of
finding yourself and your people in an ever-mutable world.

has beaten him to it. Finally, 'Star One' sees Blake at last launch
his attack on the Federation's headquarters, unaware that an alien

Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.
