Shopping [DVD] [1994]

bleak London existence is to steal cars and drive them through shop windows: "crash and carry," as one fellow "shopper" terms it. But he and his tough, video-game obsessed gal-pal Jo (Sadie Frost) are no Bonnie and Clyde. Their shopping trips are merely a pretext for the adrenaline rush of destruction and the thrill of playing high-speed tag with the cops, a game that starts to wear thin on Jo. "Why don't you grow up, eh?" she finally asks. "And do what?" he helplessly replies.The feature debut of Brit stylist Paul Anderson (Event Horizon) is a sleek film of misty alleys, blue-lit underground garages, and slick city streets. It's a dystopian London of the near future through the lens ofBlade Runnerdriven almost single-handedly by Law's reckless charm and wild energy. It's hard to tell if the film is about the nihilism of sensation-hunting lost youth or simply a sensational melodrama of aimless rebellion, but there's nonetheless something irresponsibly appealing in Billy's anti-establishment rampage. --Sean Axmaker

Advantages: Good story line Disadvantages: Relatively bad effects
...This musical is an story of 2 lovers one an shy "geeky" Seymour and the outgoing Audrey. However the feelings they have towards each other is brought to the surface by an dangerous money-making human eating plant. The plant, who Seymour named Audrey II, manipulates Seymour into doing things that are not like him.
This film is an definite must-see, with an great storyline and some good vocal performances by Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene. The plant and special effects looks very good, for the time of the movie. The little shop of horrors is definitley worth £7 and i am a teenager and i think it is great. This film is both for lads and lasses aswell so don't be put off that it is a musical because the storyline is good....

Advantages: Great soundtrack, sets and costumes Disadvantages: Very one sided look at ram-raiding and other car crimes
...I am a bit of a Sean Bean fan and when I heard that he was in "Shopping" I hurried along to my local cinema to see it. It is a film I had almost forgotten until I recently acquired a copy on video and gave it another go.
"Shopping" is a British movie which tells the story of Billy (Jude Law), a young man who is released from prison at the start of the film. He is met at the prision gates by Jo (Sadie Frost, with a shocking and seemingly pointless Irish accent - I could find no reason for the character to be Irish). She has with her a very expensive, high-powered car and she is very proud of it. She would be - she didn't pay a penny for it. Billy and Jo are two young people obsessed with the buzz of stealing top of the range cars, racing them, taunting the police and ram-raiding - driving the stolen cars into large plate-glass shop...

...Advantages: Loads of stuff available, good prices
Disadvantages: can get busy at christmas time so much so people abandon their shopping
I am a huge Asda fan, it's where I do most of my shopping and I know where everything is which makes it easier when dragging 3 kiddies along with you!
In my local Asda we have a photo centre, cafe, George, electricals, homewear, toys, bakery, pizzaria, rottisary (chicken place lol), fresh meats counter and all the usual foody aisles plus we have a petrol station, cash machines and bus stop. It's the largest shopping store we have although we do have a Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Co-Op, Farm Foods and Iceland.
I have never had a bad experience with Asda and the stock is usually replenished quite quickly! They have such a huge range that I know I can do my weekly shop and more there.
Everything...
