One caveat: if you know nothing about the film, avoid looking at any publicity  stills, because there are spoilers. <strong>Creed<\/strong> was released this month in Britain  on DVD and Blu-ray by Icon, but Starz \/ Anchor Bay  will have their own home video release on Nov. 23 for Region 1 land.<\/p>\n<p>One hope: someone out there (MovieScore Media, perhaps?)  might pick up Marc Canham\u2019s <strong>Creed<\/strong> soundtrack for release. Canham\u2019s scored a number of video games, and his debut  feature film shows a great instinct for tight, character conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>Also reviewed today is Alexandre Desplat\u2019s score for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kqek.com\/cd_lp_reviews\/t2u\/CD_0240_TamaraDrewe2010.htm\">Tamara  Drewe<\/a><\/strong> (Silva Screen), featuring his infectious theme.<\/p>\n<p>Those wanting a bit more substantive material on Arterton  can read Norman Wilner\u2019s interviews at NOW in which the actress discusses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nowtoronto.com\/movies\/story.cfm?content=176274\" >Creed<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nowtoronto.com\/movies\/story.cfm?content=177522\" >Drewe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
