DVDs up for grabs

Be Kind, Rewind

The Jack Black and Mos Def comedy Be Kind Rewind is released on DVD on Monday – and we have five copies to give away.

They play childhood friends living on the breadline in New Jersey. So when Black’s character Jerry accidentally erases all the tapes in the old-fashioned video store, where his best friend works they decide to remake the erased movies themselves – on a very tight budget.

The movie is based on the internet fad of ‘sweding’ – remaking films from everyday materials and technology, where charm triumphs over budget. Here is a clip:

The film also stars Danny Glover, and the DVD’s extra features include an in depth ‘making of’, film and other never-before-seen footage.

It is out on Monday, and to stand a chance of winning on of our copies, just answer the following question by July 7, when we will select the winners from all correct answers received. Entrants must be aged 12 or older, and bulk automated entries will be disallowed.

Good luck!
