The Gilbert Scott, St Pancras Renaissance Grand, London
Marcus Wareing may be one of Britain’s most gifted and garlanded chefs, but for his new venture, he hasn’t traded on the pulling power of his own name. In the splendid dining room of his new restaurant at St Pancras Station, I overheard a woman ask, “Who is this Gilbert Scott bloke anyway?”, clearly wondering why she’d never seen him on Great British Menu.

25 Mozart Favorites $1.39 This is an astonishing collection of works – or parts of works – by Mozart that covers almost every aspect of his creative output: symphonic, religious music, concerti (for piano, horn, violin, clarinet, flute), chamber music, serenades (for strings; winds), a couple of opera overtures and more. Those who know and love Mozart’s music will not need this, but it’s a great introduction, a great overv…

50 First Dates $6.85 The Cure and a reggae beat certainly make strange bedfellows as, one assumes, do Adam Sandler and a girl with no short-term memory. In that sense, the 50 First Dates soundtrack is a good accompaniment to a fluffy romantic comedy in which one of the main characters is perpetually living in the past. It’s also a fitting follow-up to that other Sandler/Barrymore vehicle, The Wedding Singer. (Take a s…

Wings of Desire [VHS] $4.61 “There are angels over the streets of Berlin,” quotes the movie poster, but these are like no angels you’ve ever seen. Bundled in dark overcoats, they watch over the city with ears open to the heartbeat of the human soul, listening to the internal musings and yearnings of earthbound humans like existential detectives. In these delicate, astounding scenes we float through the thoughts of dozens Be…

Chan plays an exercise-equipment salesman who turns out to be the missing son of a Korean double agent who’s connected with dru…

Lawrence of Arabia (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] $2.00 There’s no getting around a simple, basic truth: watching Lawrence of Arabia in any home-video format represents a compromise. There’s no better way to appreciate this epic biographical adventure than to see it projected in 70 millimeter onto a huge theater screen. That caveat aside, David Lean’s masterful “desert classic” is still enjoyable on the small screen, especially if viewed in widescreen …

V: The Original TV Miniseries $4.31 In its day, V was a monumental event that for one generation remains a pop-culture touchstone. Close Encounters of the Third Kind may have reassured us that perhaps we have nothing to fear from alien visitors and E.T. introduced us to a benign extraterrestrial who only wanted to go home, but Kenneth Johnson’s 1983 television miniseries knew better. Visitors who claim to come in peace are revealed …
