White Fang 2: Myth of the White WolfRather insipid adventure sequel set during the Alaskan Gold Rush, but owing little apart from the name to Jack London's much-loved novel. It follows the journey of a boy who races to the rescue of Native Americans with the help of his fearless hound, attempting to prevent sacred tribal ground from being taken over by miners. Unfortunately, it ends up being an uncomfortable mix of romance and ill-judged thrills, but younger viewers ought to enjoy it. Starring Scott Bairstow, Alfred Molina, Charmaine Craig and Geoffrey Lewis

Swept from the SeaAn embittered doctor recounts the sad story of a lonely servant girl living in a small farming community in 19th-century Cornwall, who falls deeply in love with a shipwrecked Russian sailor. However, the relationship seems doomed to failure from the start, despite their best efforts to make it work. Downbeat romantic drama based on a short story by Joseph Conrad, boasting a star-studded cast including Vincent Pérez, Rachel Weisz, The Lord of the Rings' Ian McKellen, Kathy Bates, Joss Ackland, Tony Haygarth and Zoë Wanamaker. Sadly, even the big names can't prevent it becoming an overly maudlin affair
