"Actor: Thomas"

• Risk | DVD | (16/07/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The world of insurance hasn't exactly inspired a wealth of memorable cinema, but Australian film Risk is a feisty, funny, clever and, yes, insurance-related movie. Drawing on a range of cinematic themes (good cop/bad cop, the young newcomer and his guiding light, a love triangle) the film offers a fresh insight by virtue of its unusual setting. Ben Madigen (Tom Long) finds himself working in the business by default and is soon taken under the wing of the charismatic John Kreisky (Brown). While trying to undertake his job without compromising his principles, Madigen is unwittingly lured into a scam by Kreisky and his girlfriend, lawyer Louise Roncaldi (Claudia Karvan). The burgeoning and later unravelling relationship between the three is the film's key story, as Long finds himself torn between the other two. Brown is excellent as the scheming Kreisky, once again proving that his failure to move into a more major acting league is little short of baffling--but then, this type of imaginative film offers him more scope than Cocktail or FX ever could and serves as a welcome advertisement for the growing Australian movie industry. This is a highly intelligent film that keeps its plot-cards closely to its chest, keeping the viewer guessing throughout. On the DVD: the usual scene selection is coupled with the trailer, which presents the film (slightly misleadingly) in pulsating, high-action tones. The "making of" featurette offers the viewer an insight into not very much happening (look, there's a man pushing something) and gives the cast an opportunity to take themselves a little too seriously. --Phil Udell

• Sir Thomas Beecham In Montreal | DVD | (10/03/2003) from £25.66   |  Saving you £-6.67 (N/A%)   |  RRP £18.99

  Sir Thomas Beecham (1879 - 1961) was one of the most venerated and celebrated conductors of his time. Though he was renowned for his rapier-style wit Sir Thomas was a serious extraordinarily gifted musician who illuminated even overly-familiar works with his own magical light.Sir Thomas's television appearances were surprisingly largely limited to North America. His concerts were captured by cameras in Chicago Toronto and Montreal but apparently only once in his native country. The Montreal concert which took place in 1956 is the earliest of Sir Thomas's extant television appearances. For many years the original kinescope was thought to have been lost; it was only recently discovered and restored to the Montreal studios of Radio-Canada. This historic document comprised of music of the two composers closest to Sir Thomas's heart is of major importance both to Beecham collectors and to all lovers of great music. Video Artists International is proud to have played a part in its rediscovery and release.

But when a twist of fate brings Johnny's long-lost love (Eva Mendes) back into his life Johnny realizes he just might have a second chance at happiness - if he can beat the devil and win back his soul. To do so he'll have to defeat Blackheart (Wes Bentley) the devil's nemesis and wayward son whose plot to take over his father's realm will bring hell on earth!

Which is exactly where Betty finds herself during one of the early trials in Banner's groundbreaking research. A simple oversight leads to an explosive situation and Bruce makes a split-second decision; his heroic impulse saves a life and leaves him apparently unscathed-his body absorbing a normally deadly dose of gamma radiation.
