Eternal Sunshine is complicated and absorbing

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind centres around the quirky relationship between Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet).

But when they break off their affair, they have their memories of each other completely wiped.

It sounds like a cheap gag but in this sort-of love story, the absence of memory becomes a rather moving way to explore just what experience means.

As with Memento, we're brought as close to this state of mind as we can by scenes being shown out of sequence.

You're not always sure what you're seeing and it's involving, certainly intriguing and well performed.

Eternal Sunshine is one of those films that you become so absorbed in that it's hard to leave its world afterwards. So don't: watch it again with the audio commentary.

Writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michael Gondry's chat dissects the quite intricate story. There's some separate and more ordinary Making Of footage and some deleted scenes.

Aladdin: Special Edition

And this is for children, is it? Do you care? Aladdin could have become saccharine under Disney's hands but instead it's a thrill and a good DVD.

Aladdin will be enjoyed by adults and children

It stays vaguely true to the panto story but adds pace, excitement and a surprisingly on-form Robin Williams to produce a fun ride of a film.

But the reason to buy this special edition is that it's another of Disney's packed-to-the-gills sets with myriad extras, most of which are good.

Some are excellent, such as a very detailed Making Of feature.

Usually a Making Of is a featurette, a horrible word for a item that's longer than a three-minute package but shorter than anything else. But here the Making Of is longer than the film.

Then there are deleted scenes, music videos and Aladdin trivia before you get to the bit for children: a series of games and sing-along lyrics.

Homicide: Life on the Street

Season five is now out in America and if you've never imported before, you can now because although this is supposedly only for US players it works everywhere.

It's region 0, to be specific, and the reason you should buy this is mostly because it's Homicide: there is no better police drama on television.

But if that's not enough for you, by this fifth season, C4 was showing it at about half past dawn so this DVD could be your first chance to see it.

As ever, it follows the detectives of Baltimore's fraught Homicide division.

The picture quality looks quite rough on the DVD but it's meant to: the show was filmed in a documentary style. Oddly, though, it's more noticeable with this season than the others.

Extras include a very candid commentary on one episode that talks about why a certain cast member left.
