Water fights eh? Remember them? A perfectly fun way to muck about in the summer shooting each other with lovely refreshing water and having a good old laugh about it. WRONG. Forget what you think you know about water fights soldier and get ready for some serious aquatic combat! This Water Pistol Vest set contains two target vests and two water pistols (which are pretty darn powerful it has to be said). The difference is though that scoring a direct hit on these vests actually causes the victim to bleed! Well maybe not actually bleed but some clever thingamajig in the vest material means that water shows up in red on the target which as we all know means that you’ve been got. It takes the idea of a standard water fight to the next level as instead of just mercilessly pummelling each other with water the object is now to avoid being hit yourself. The winner is the one who has managed to lay waste to their opponents without getting a single speck on themselves. With pistols as accurate and far-reaching as these that’s an awful lot harder than it sounds. So turn your summer into an all-out offensive manoeuvre with this great excuse to run around shooting your mates and covering them in fake blood. Wonderful.

Steampunk
In the year 1870, a horrible plague of vampires swept over the northern regions of the world. Millions of humans were killed outright. Millions more died of disease and famine due to the havoc that followed. Within two years, once great cities were shrouded by the grey empire of the vampire clans. Human refugees fled south to the tropics because vampires could not tolerate the constant heat there. They brought technology and a feverish drive to reestablish their shattered societies of steam and iron amid the mosques of Alexandria, the torrid quietude of Panama, or the green temples of Malaya.
It is now 2020 and a bloody reckoning is coming.
Princess Adele is heir to the Empire of Equatoria, a remnant of the old tropical British Empire. She is quick with her wit as well as with a sword or gun. She is eager for an adventure before she settles into a life of duty and political marriage to man she does not know. But her quest turns black when she becomes the target of a merciless vampire clan. Her only protector is The Greyfriar, a mysterious hero who fights the vampires from deep within their territory. Their dangerous relationship plays out against an approaching war to the death between humankind and the vampire clans.
The Greyfriar: Vampire Empire is the first book in a trilogy of high adventure and alternate history. Combining rousing pulp action with steampunk style, The Greyfriar brings epic political themes to life within a story of heartbreaking romance, sacrifice, and heroism.

Noir
More than half a century after its release in 1950, Sunset Boulevard is still the most pungently unflattering portrait of Hollywood ever committed to celluloid. Billy Wilder, unequalled at combining a literate, sulphurous script with taut direction, hits his target relentlessly. The humour–and the film is rich in this, Wilder’s most abundant commodity–is black indeed. Sunset Boulevard is viciously and endlessly clever. William Holden’s opportunistic scriptwriter Joe Gillis, whose sellout proves fatal, is from the top drawer of film noir. Gloria Swanson’s monstrously deluded Norma Desmond, the benchmark for washed-up divas, transcends parody. And her literal descent down the staircase to madness is one of the all-time great silver-screen moments.
Sunset Boulevard isn’t without pathos, most notably in Erich von Stroheim’s protective butler who wants only to shield his mistress from the stark truths that are massing against her. But its view of human beings at work in a ruthlessly cannibalistic industry is bleak indeed. Nobody, not even Nancy Olson’s sparkily ambitious writer Betty Schaefer, is untainted. And neither are we, “those wonderful people out there in the dark”. Norma might be ready for her close-up, but it’s really Hollywood that’s in the frame. No wonder Wilder incurred the charge of treachery from his peers. It’s cinematic perfection.
On the DVD: Sunset Boulevard lends itself effortlessly to a collector’s edition of this quality. The film itself is presented in full-frame aspect ratio from an excellent print and the quality of the mono soundtrack is faultless: the silver screen comes to life in your living room. The extras are superb, including a commentary from film historian Ed Sikov and a making-of documentary which includes the memories of Nancy Olson. Interactive features such as the Hollywood location map add to the fun. –Piers Ford

Amazon.co.uk Review
Available “fully uncut” for the first time in the UK, Two Thousand Maniacs! is the second of director HG Lewis’ “blood” trilogy. Though the “once-in-a-lifetime” title makes a promise no film could keep–only about 30 maniacs show up–and the level of gore is a notch or so down from Blood Feast–only four deaths–this is perhaps the director’s most watchable film. The Brigadoon-derived plot nugget concerns a Deep South town (variously suggested to be in Georgia or Arkansas, but actually Florida) wiped out by Union raiders during the Civil War, which reappears once every 100 years to wreak “blood vengeance”. For the centennial celebrations, Pleasant Valley lures Yankee tourists off the road and subjects them to gruesome fairground games–a cannibal BBQ, a “horse-race”, a “barrel roll” and “teetering rock”. The ideas are nasty, and Lewis even attempts subtlety by keeping the quartering and the spiked barrel inside mostly off screen, but the creepiest touch is the “aw-shucks” good humour with which the ghostly Confederate maniacs–led by a mayor who is the spitting image of Sergeant Bilko’s Colonel Hall–treat their horrible sport. It has the usual Lewis drawbacks–mostly inept staging, acting that veers between the wooden (“Playmate” Connie Mason) and the amateurishly hammy (one of the worst child actors in film history), clumsy editing, community theatre production values–but his fans wouldn’t have it any other way and the hayseed music is great!
On the DVD: The full-screen image is as good as this ever will look, considering Lewis’ primitive understanding of lighting cinematography, with rich scarlet blood, vividly ugly 1963 leisurewear and very few print imperfections. The features offer an imaginative “Welcome to Pleasant Valley Centennial” menu, with buttons like the target you have to hit to drop the “teetering rock” on the Yankee; lurid original trailer (“Two thousand maniacs crazed for carnage started bathing a whole town in pulsing, human blood … brutal, evil, ghastly beyond belief”); filmographies for Lewis, Friedman and star William Kerwin (aka Thomas Wood); promotional art gallery; notes by aptly-monickered expert Billy Chainsaw, highlighting the connections with John Waters and Brigadoon; a teaser trailer for “the Herschell Gordon Lewis Collection”; a mass of trailers for other “Tartan terror” titles. The Lewis-Friedman commentary and mind-numbing outtakes reel available on the Region 1 DVD are sadly absent, but that release doesn’t have this one’s major bonus addition–the entire soundtrack album, with compositions by Lewis himself (including the immortal “Yee-Hah, the South’s Gonna Rise Again”) and Flatt and Scruggs (of Bonnie and Clyde fame). –Kim Newman
