Still out on DVD, still good

With Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon pursuing new projects on the small screen, watch them playing crafty versions of themselves in Michael Winterbottom's fiendishly funny film about a film about a book, A Cock And Bull Story. Also worthy of attention is George Clooney in Syriana, and Pierce Brosnan as a sleazy hitman in The Matador. Editor's top 10 DVDs
