thought the well would surely be dry by now. Yet with As Time Goes By, Richard Carpenter digs up another batch of outtakes, demos and TV performances to delight the duo's legions of fans. A legendary perfectionist, he's eschewed the "warts and all" approach, and instead rearranged, remixed and often rerecorded the original backing tracks to lend that famous Carpenters smoothness to even the ropier TV efforts. Most interesting are the endearingly innocent garage versions of "Nowhere Man" and "California Dreamin'", recorded in 1967 when Karen was just 16, a sweet 1971 cover of Wildweeds' "And When He Smiles" and a pretty take on Kermit the Frog's classic "The Rainbow Connection". Elsewhere, there's a warm and loungey medley where Karen and Perry Como sing each other's songs, and a glorious duet with Ella Fitzgerald where "My Funny Valentine" and "Someone to Watch Over Me" are made to shine once more. Richard displays his keyboard virtuosity with "Dizzy Fingers" and a grand medley of sci-fi themes, and the only disappointment is a cover of "Dancing in the Street" where Karen fails to really capture the song's joyous mood. Despite this, it's a must for all fans of easy listening. --Dominic Wills

Advantages: It comes in a cool "phantasm sphere", which contains four good films - and a bonus disc! Disadvantages: This series may not be for your run-of-the-mill horror fan - it's a cult type of series!
...A. Michael Baldwin plays a kid who suspects something is up at the local cemetary - he goes to investigate and finds all kinds of weird things going on in the mortuary at the hands of the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm).
As the series goes on he grows up and tries time after time to escape the Tall Man and try and stop his evil plans for world domination, and avoid death at the hands of "THE SPHERE".
A. Michael Baldwin is replaced in the second film by the annoying James LeGros (Friends, Ally McBeal), but makes his return for the third film thankfully!
Look out for the brilliant splicing of fouttake footage from the original in the fourth part of the series, a great way to end despite ending up in Los Angeles....
