DVD TRAILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S
Release Date: September 26, 2006

BEOWULF AND GRENDEL

Cast: Gerard Butler, Sarah Polley, Eddie Marsan, Stellan Skarsgard, Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson

Synopsis: 'Beowulf & Grendel' is a medieval adventure, part legendary fable, part horror-story. Based on the seminal 9th century Anglo-Saxon poem, 'Beowulf,' it tells the blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against a great and murderous troll, Grendel, who has laid seige to the kingdom of Hrothgar, the much respected king of the Danes. The story – filmed in Iceland - plays out in a brutish Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one - the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. 'Beowulf & Grendel' strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale.

To Harlan, Tobe embodies all the purity and innocence impossible to find on the means streets of contemporary L.A., while Tobe is drawn to Harlan's poetic charm and romantic spirit. Despite the obvious difference in their ages and backgrounds, and the growing opposition of Tobe's father, Wade (Morse), the couple pursues their passionate, furtive romance until it becomes apparent that Tobe is unprepared for the intensity of Harlan's love. Then, things take a sudden, dangerous turn when Tobe discovers that Harlan is not at all what he appeared to be.

RUSSIAN DOLLS

Cast: Audrey Tautou, Cecile De France, Kelly Reilly, Kevin Bishop, Romain Duris

Synopsis: A follow up to international sensation L'Auberge Espagnole, we again meet Xavier (played by Romain Duris of The Beat That My Heart Skipped) who seems dissatisfied with just about everything. An aspiring novelist, his greatest achievement is a co-credit on an over-the-top TV soap. His romantic life is equally disappointing, consisting of one-night stands and unfinished romances. He can seduce beautiful, smart and successful women - but ultimately sabotages even the most promising encounters. A chance meeting could be the answer to both his career slump and love life, but Xavier's lack of direction (and will-power) threatens to turn his good fortune into the ultimate heartbreak. Klapisch works again with many of the same actors who made L'Auberge Espagnole such a worldwide success, including international star Audrey Tautou and Cecile de France, one of France's most popular young stars. This film was a tremendous box office hit in France and nominated for 2 Cesar awards for Best Supporting Actress (Cecile de France and Kelly Reilly) and a Cesar for Best Editing.
