Me and Orson Welles<\/a><\/strong> (cinemaNX): This enjoyable period drama set in 1937 is about a teenager (Zac Efron<\/a>) who joins the Mercury Theatre production of \u201cJulius Ceasar\u201d directed by a young Orson Welles (Christian McKay<\/a>). Directed by Richard Linklater<\/a> and co-starring Claire Danes, it was shot in the Isle of Man back in the spring of 2008 and lingered on the shelf after failing to get a distributor at various festivals. However, production company CinemaNX<\/a> released it theatrically themselves (a rarity for a national release in the UK) sharing print and ad costs with Vue Entertainment. For the DVD release they have struck an exclusive arrangement<\/a> with supermarket behemoth Tesco<\/a>. [DVD<\/a>]<\/p>\n The Railway Children<\/a><\/strong> (Optimum Home Entertainment): Adapted from E. Nesbit\u2019s novel<\/a>, Lionel Jeffries 1970 film adaptation quickly established itself as perennial favourite amongst family audiences and after a re-release at cinemas last month arrives on DVD and Blu-ray. It is the tale of a family forced to move from London to a house in Yorkshire after the father is imprisoned on a mysterious charge. There the three children, Roberta (Jenny Agutter<\/a>), Peter (Gary Warren<\/a>) and Phyllis (Sally Thomsett<\/a>), are entranced by the nearby railway and become friendly with the locals, such as the station porter (Bernard Cribbins<\/a>) and the Old Gentleman (William Mervyn<\/a>) who takes the 9:15 train. It was a critical success on its initial release \u2013 receiving three BAFTA nominations \u2013 and has since become a much loved film through regular broadcasts on television.
