Easy does it in The Station Agent on DVD...

It's a film I'd been meaning to see for some time, having seen clips and interviews on BBC News 24's Talking Movies around two years ago, but some things are worth waiting for and this was no exception.

Peter Dinklage, Bobby Cannavale, Patricia Clarkson and Michelle Williams star in a movie where not a lot seems to happen... but it's all going on while you're watching - if that makes sense. Well, it will when you see it.

The Station Agent is online and out on DVD now.

news page pic There's a serial killer on the loose in Mindhunters on DVD...

DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Ian Stanley returns with a DVD for a movie that's not out in the US or the UK yet, but has secured a Thai DVD release. With director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) at the helm and a cast including LL Cool J, Val Kilmer and Christian Slater, it can't fail, surely... can it?

Mindhunters is online and out on a region-free DVD now.

news page pic What's so special about Green Day's latest CD...?

Upon its release last September, this latest release from Green Day was held in the highest regard by all the critics and has regularly found a home in the album Top 10, so is it all hype? DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts explains why he disagrees with the majority of the fuss out there.

Green Day: American Idiot is online now and out on CD.

From The Computer Channel, through [.tv] and now BBC News 24's Click Online, the gorgeous Kate Russell (right) has long since been a regular part of our viewing schedule, and more recently she's branched into making her own programmes, starting with The Life of Tyres on Men And Motors, as well as being a sporting journalist on TV and in print.

Simon & Garfunkel reunite Live on Stage, on CD...

They're the creators of many a classic tune, including Bridge Over Troubled Water, I Am A Rock, America and Scarborough Fair, but life wasn't all parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme as they were at each other's throats for a number of years.

But that's all been put aside now and they're talking to each other again, as well as singing, as DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts hears the result.

Simon & Garfunkel: Old Friends Live on Stage is online and out on CD now.

news page pic Thought for the Day: Destination Three on BBC3...

When BBC Three started two years ago, controller Stuart Murphy (right) claimed in a live chat that the channel wouldn't mimic any other. However, this week, the smug controller has introduced a new late-night strand which only lasts for an hour or two each weeknight, Destination Three, which has the standard fare linked by complete idiots that make Channel 4's T4 strand look intelligent, and its presents look intellectual.

Earlier this week, the token female Asian presenter encouraged us all to text in pictures of ourselves by giving the number and enthusing, "Text 'ME', that's M.E... (laughs) Not the disease!!", etc.

Stuart Murphy - are you proud of this crap? I've seen boybands talk more sense!

God knows what the BBC are paying you, but with the additional logos on BBC3 ("Carnival"?, "Sunday Best"?), other than the main channel logo, at present, are you trying to drive away all your viewers in a bid to win those with the brains to solely watch something on the level of CBBC?

How long can Stuart Murphy, the man everyone at the BBC hates, continue this reign of nonsense?

A Don Johnson movie, far removed from Miami Vice, on DVD...

Released today:

He hit his peak in the mid-'80s with the classic TV series Miami Vice, but since then Don Johnson has failed to let either the small or big screen alight - see Nash Bridges and Guilty as Sin respectively, or rather don't - so try this early film, released in 1975, of a man with little future but a post-apocalyptic landscape.

A Boy and His Dog is online and out on DVD from today.

A band I once saw at a Xmas party, albeit only with the then-lead singer intact - to a degree, they had many well-known hits including Ballroom Blitz, Blockbuster and Fox on the Run. Let DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts talk you through the rest.

The Very Best of Sweet is online now and out on CD.

Trojan Beatles Tribute is online and out on CD now.
