Beloved also marks the welcome return of Jonathan Demme, who directed Hollywood's ultimate psychological thriller, The Silence of the Lambs. The Silence of the Lambs was a showcase of visual ferocity, superb camera prowess and raw lyrical power; Demme told the story in such riveting fashion that the film still chills to the bone, even today.

Last week they reached a different conclusion. New images returned by the Galileo spacecraft reveal that the fairy-dust bands are debris blasted into space when the planet's four innermost moons were struck by meteors...
