Norman Reedus (perhaps best known for cult phenomenon The Boondock Saints) stars in the long awaited DVD release of The Beatnicks, and M&C is giving away one copy of the DVD along with the film’s soundtrack.

In addition to Norman Reedus, the film stars Mark Boone Jr.(award winning FX series Sons of Anarchy), Elodie Bouchez (Alias) & co-stars Eric Roberts (Batman: The Dark Knight), Jon Gries (Napoleon Dynamite) and Patrick Bauchau (The Pretender).

Set in Los Angeles, The Beatnicks, are a poet and a musician named Nick, known as The Beatnicks in search of a gig. They find a magic box on the beach, that when opened, creates amazing music that hypnotizes anyone who hears it. The Nicks use the box to get booked for a show, but their abuse of the box's powers has unforeseen consequences.

The poet falls in love and the musician meets a guru. Ultimately, they must both learn the lesson of "no suffering, no understanding.” As the film concludes, The Nicks reach a deeper understanding of themselves and the box earns them the gig of a lifetime.

To enter, contestants need to provide a name and e-mail address. Upon notification of winning, contestants will have five days to reply with the name and address of where their prize should be sent.
