Based on the best selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates this provocative miniseries delivers a seductive portrait of the captivating star that became America's most enduring sex symbol. The stunning saga of Marilyn Monroe's life begins with her traumatic upbringing as Norma Jean: the damage inflicted by a psychotic mother the absence of any father the devastation of four years in an orphanage and betrayal in a foster home. On the young Monroe's rocky road to stardom she performs sexual favour for studio chiefs who underestimate her talent and intelligence while reaping millions from her movies. Her vulnerability is often camouflaged by volatile behaviour. At times self-absorbed and frightened Monroe could also be tough outspoken and vulgar. Her notorious perfectionism is her shield against the ridicule and failure she continually fears. Monroe's stormy marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller reveal her insatiable need for security and love. She is doomed by an unimaginable combination of Hollywood exploitation dependence on drugs and flawed choices of lovers and mates. JFK's cruel manipulation and shadowy intervention is the final blow to her fragile existence. Blonde draws a sharp-eyed picture of the movie business during the 1940s and 50s and conveys a nation's fascination with a legendary cultural icon. Starring Poppy Montgomery (Without A Trace Law & Order) as Norma Jean with Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy Transformers 3 Enchanted) Griffin Dunne (Law & Order Frasier) Patricia Richardson (The West Wing Home Improvement) and Kirstie Alley (Cheers Look Who's Talking).

The real magic of David Blaine is in his command of an all-walks-of-life audience, but featured here is the "Frozen in Time" show that follows the preparation and aftermath of his three days and nights entombed in a six-ton block of ice. The footage is often quite alarming, as is a narration explaining his state of mind at the end. Visited by his girlfriend, Kevin Spacey and Michael J Fox (in subtler fashion than Leo DiCaprio on the Mystifier show), it's all about re-affirming the reality of the situation. Intercut with the Times Square footage is plenty of the street magic Blaine excels at. Confounding the NY Knicks and increasingly eccentric passers-by, you'll see him resurrect dead animals, cry the diamond from a woman's ring and bafflingly show off a tattoo of a complete stranger's girlfriend. Fans are treated to his very first video footage test of the show format as well as the dearly departed (!) Tarko the Great. On the DVD: Get ready for abject frustration as you spend ages working out how to access the disc's "beautiful secrets". Once you do, there are lots of little surprises to enjoy--such as Blaine being told off by the Memphis police, a mini photo gallery, levitating money in Haiti and five minutes of making the DVD, where you see a very bored crew at his commentary recording. The main feature commentary is quite sporadic in how much he has to say, but is actually very revealing. Don't expect any giveaway explanations, but it is a genuinely fascinating insight into the mind responsible for some truly spectacular feats of magic. --Paul Tonks
