David Arquette (Scream) and Jonny Lee Miller (Canterbury Tales) head a stellar cast in this wonderful prequel to Lonesome Dove, by the same writer of Brokeback Mountain. Gus (Arquette) and Call (Miller) are young men coming of age in the days when Texas was still an independent republic. We follow the two men as they embark on their first great adventure. They sign up as Texas Rangers under the command of Caleb Cobb, an unpredictable bandit who wants to seize Santa Fe from the Mexicans. This untamed frontier, and the wild men who live there - the Indians defending it with unrelenting savagery, the Texans attempting to seize and 'civilize' it, and the Mexicans threatened by both - are at the heart of this gripping story.

Ray Charles - The Genius Of Soul
Genius + Soul = Jazz. From a poor childhood, battling poverty and blindness, Ray Charles reached the ranks of American musical master while still in his twenties. Versatile, innovative, crusading and assured as arranger, composer, pianist and vocalist, even whilst battling his sometimes debilitating personal demons. His sophisticated fusing of blues, gospel, country and soul captivated and united lovers of popular music from all walks of life from the 1950's until his passing in 2004. In this perceptive and insightful documentary, Ray Charles's contemporaries - Quincy Jones, Billy Joel, Dizzy Gillespie, Willie Nelson, Hank Crawford and biographer David Ritz - expound on the greatness of his triumphant musical legacy. Performances of 'Georgia On My Mind', 'I Got A Woman, 'I Can't Stop Loving You' and many more, plus archive footage including Louis Jordan, Count Basie, Muddy Waters, Quincy Jones and Nat 'King' Cole bare witness to the pure talent, intense commitment and impeccable sense of style Ray Charles imparted on the world of jazz and music as a whole.
