Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar the much respected Lord of the Danes Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster.

Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch Selma creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Building toward an inevitable and terrible battle this is a tale where vengeance loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine.

• Nothing In Common | DVD | (04/10/2010) from £2.99   |  Saving you £3.00 (50.10%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Tom Hanks wanted to prove his dramatic talent in the mid-1980s, and Nothing in Common gave him a ripe opportunity. Playing an emotionally immature Chicago advertising executive, Hanks offers a prototype of his later, better role in Big--the joking man-child with seemingly limitless reserves of energetic humour, perfectly suited to director Garry Marshall's trademark blend of featherweight comedy and sentiment. The movie wanders aimlessly before settling into its dramatic groove, involving Hanks caring for his ageing, diabetic father (Jackie Gleason, well cast in his final screen role) after his mother (Eva Marie Saint) files for divorce and strikes out on her own. Like Marshall's Pretty Woman, the film hits several grace notes and finds unexpected depth in its characters and their need for loving connections. Meanwhile, there's cheesy nostalgia in the 80s trappings, including songs by Carly Simon and Christopher Cross. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

In a series of scenes divided in to chapters we see revealing interviews with the Kirghiz see exciting and entertaining reconstructions shot on film in a variety of different cinematic styles and comic scenes of the interaction between the film crew and the community. During this process we learn how the Pamir Kirghiz' antipathy to Communism drove them from the Soviet Union then later from Maoist China and finally from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to their current exile. The film is part historical document part ethnographical description of a unique people part portrait of the conflict between individual and globalised culture and part comedy about the process of film making.

He also produced the first album by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Together with Mike Bloomfield he Founded Electric Flag who with their m''lange of blues rock Soul Country and Jazz - practically an all-American mix - delivered their debut performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 helping to kickstart the flower power hippie era. A few years later Nick Gravenites joined Janis Joplin's former backing group Big Brother And The Holding Company.
