Julia Roberts stars in a predictable but enjoyable feature

Set in 1953 America, Mona Lisa Smile sees Julia Roberts playing teacher Katherine Ann Watson, who goes to work at a girls' college and finds the students need liberating from their society and themselves.

The movie's makers know that this is a very predictable story so they make no effort to hide the ending in the trailer's clips.

The acting is good, the basic idea that women should want and get rather more than motherhood and a husband is laudable, but rather obvious.

Lives will not be changed but time will be passed happily enough.

The extras are perfunctory but okay. This is Sunday afternoon watching, and you'll not be too interested in how it was made.

School of Rock

Usually there is no such thing as the family film: the term means movies that children like and parents can put up with. But then there's this.

Jack Black is a down-on-his-luck rock guitarist who manages to get a job as a substitute music teacher and brings rock'n'roll to an unprepared world.

School of Rock is great entertainment

If it sounds like "let's put the show on here!", it doesn't play that way and is instead very funny.

There's no real tension, not an awful lot of drama, but it's thoroughly entertaining with some good extras.

Chief among those is the commentary by Black and director Richard Linklater, and for several seconds you will also enjoy a second "Kids Commentary", though you're unlikely to sit through it all.

Press Gang - Series 2

Press Gang was a hit TV drama series in the early 1990s. It was written by Coupling creator Steven Moffat and focused on the lives of the staff of a teenage newspaper.

Press Gang was also the show that launched Absolutely Fabulous star Julia Sawalha's career.

This boxset is a joyous, exhilarating epic with huge emotion and rich laughs, and episodes that get progressively better and better.

The series bursts with one-liners, with verbal fights that aren't just dizzying but also matter.

Or at least that make you care. Now go buy it and enjoy the commentaries.

Sawalha doesn't remember anything of the show but is funny in four episode commentaries with the even funnier Moffat, who fortunately remembers it all.
