Torvill and Dean, Posh and Becks, Simpson and Bruckheimer. Some names just fit together and it's perhaps significant that the best pictures in this box set - The Rock, Crimson Tide, Con Air - were developed while the portly, prossie-loving producer Don Simpson was still alive. The post-Simpson selection is somewhat mixed: The Conversation-lite Enemy Of The State, cornball asteroid picture Armageddon and half-hearted auto booster Gone In 60 Seconds. Certainly Simpson's legendary story-sense would have seen Pearl Harbor cut down to size, though it typifies the B&S output: striking in both spectacle and idiocy.

DVD Extras:

There's nothing here that isn't already available, Buena Vista Home Entertainment having rounded up a bunch of existing material and dumping it into one suitably bloated package. Con Air and Gone In 60 Seconds are pitiable, Enemy Of The State is marginally better and Crimson Tide boasts some good deleted scenes.The best discs here, though, are the Michael Bay efforts. Pearl Harbor is the two-disc version as opposed to the superior, three-disc Ultimate Edition, but it's decent nevertheless. Armageddon includes the top-drawer Region One extras, as does The Rock - with out-takes of Ed Harris going mental as well as Nic Cage pontificating on the commentary.
