Here's what they have to say for themselves: A thrilling investigative drama exploring the personal and professional lives of two female detectives, from award-winning writer Sally Wainwright.

They both work for Manchester Metropolitan Police's prestigious Murder Investigation Team and, despite the obvious differences between them, the fact that they are often thrown together in difficult situations means they have developed a robust friendship. Each episode sees Rachel and Janet face a serious crime that is both challenging and emotionally difficult, as well as cope with their own complex personal lives.

Gotta love it. In this case, it's Death in Paradise, a Cosette-approved mystery series with eight episodes across two discs. Here's what they have to say for themselves: Sent to the tiny island of Saint-Marie to solve a mysterious murder, quintessentially British cop Richard Poole is a complete fish out of water. Awaiting Richard is a ramshackle station and a very different type of policing. His new partner, Camille Bordey, is instinctive, feisty, and brilliant, and the rest of the team certainly has its own unique way of doing things. Though Richard would never admit it, they make a perfect team, and with a new mind-boggling mystery to solve in every episode, Death in Paradise will intrigue and tantalize.
That's Ben Miller as Richard with Sara Martins as Camille. Red Dwarf fans, take note: Danny John-Jules is also among the cast. We have a spare copy of the DVD to give away. Want to win it? Here's the deal, just like it was before: you can enter the contest once a day using the form below. A month from now, we'll draw the winner and announce it on this page. Good luck!

Here's what they have to say for themselves. Ambushed charts the dark, seductive underbelly of Los Angeles, told from the point of view of two of its seedier denizens, mid-level drug pushers Eddie (Gianni Capaldi) and Frank (Daniel Bonjour). They want a chance to hit the big time. Unfortunately, they decide to achieve their goal by ripping off their middleman in a murderous bid for greatness, setting off a dangerous chain of events involving a ruthless crime boss, a dirty cop and the Federal agent chasing them all.
Agent Maxwell (Dolph Lundgren, One in the Chamber, The Package) is about to close in on an international cocaine smuggling operation run by criminal mastermind Vincent Camastra (Jones). When Agent Beverly Royce (Carly Pope, 24, Californication, Concrete Blondes) goes undercover with the drug dealers, she finds herself in deeper than she can handle. Up against ruthless killers as well as dirty cop Jack Reiley (Randy Couture, UFC Hall of Fame, Hijacked, The Unit), Frank and Eddie will soon find that dreams built on corruption sometimes exact a heavy toll...

Today, Anchor Bay is releasing not just the original 1995 Embrace of the Vampire but the 2013 remake of the same, both unrated and both on Blu-Ray. Remake I say? Yes, I do. Here's what they have to say for themselves: EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE (2013) stars Sharon Hinnendael as Charlotte, a timid and sheltered teen who has just left an all-girls Catholic school for a new life at a co-ed university. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh…and a thirst for blood. It's a battle for her soul… and one she's losing. But Charlotte is a fighter. The chaos and torment threatens to unleash her own inner beast, and anyone even close to her may find themselves embracing their own horrific fate.

Here's what he has to say for himself: I chose to make a double album this time just because of the sheer volume of material. I didn't want to separate songs into genres and I didn't want to leave too many songs on the shelf. I just wanted it to be a reflection of the fantastic sessions we had. With a great bunch of players, it's the same as a great group of actors reading a script from the page, the thing can come alive in ways it just never has before. This is the band I have been working towards my whole life.
