editorial
Hallo Laserdisc- und DVD-Fans,
liebe Filmfreunde!
Es ist vollbracht! In einer harten
Nachtschicht ist es uns gelungen, Ausgabe 203 unseres Newsletters noch
rechtzeitig vor unserer Abreise nach
Bradford unter Dach und Fach zu bringen. Und wie bereits angekündigt enthält diese Ausgabe nur die amerikanischen Releases, die für die nächsten
Wochen angekündigt sind. Wer also
nur an deutscher DVD-Kost interessiert ist, der darf diesen Newsletter
getrost beiseite legen. Es sei denn, Sie
möchten jetzt schon wissen, was wir
zukünftig als deutsche Veröffentlichungen erwarten dürfen. Denn die Erfahrung lehrt uns, dass die Amerikaner
meist nur ein paar Wochen früher mit
den Titeln auf den Markt stürmen als
die europäischen Vermarkter. Es gibt
hier natürlich Ausnahmen, wie bei-
LASER HOTLINE
spielsweise den von uns in einer vorigen Ausgabe angesprochenen BUBBA
HO-TEP. So, aber jetzt räumen wir
das Feld um noch rechtzeitig unsere
Koffer zu packen und Ihnen genügend
Gelegenheit zu geben, sich durch die
Massen von amerikanischen Releases
zu wühlen. Übrigens gelten für alle
Vorankündigungen selbstverständlich
wieder unsere Pre-Order-Preise, sofern
uns Ihre Bestellung spätestens eine
Woche vor dem amerikanischen Erstverkaufstag vorliegt. Noch Fragen? Ab
dem 22. März sind wir wieder in gewohnter Weise für Sie da.
Wir gehen zum
WIDESCREEN

nach Bradford!
Daher bleibt unser
Geschäft in der Zeit vom
15. März 2007
bis einschließlich
21. März 2007
geschlossen.
Ihr LASER HOTLINE Team
Wir bitten um Beachtung
und danken für Ihr
Verständnis.

Die verweste Leiche eines Mädchens wird
gefunden. Wer ist das Opfer? Was ist der
grausam entstellten Unbekannten zugestoßen?
Stilsicher und mit sehr erschütternden
Wendungen beleuchtet Regisseurin Karen
Moncrieff aus fünf Perspektiven den Mordfall;
präsentiert uns eine bitter clevere Montage
menschlicher Schicksale und Abgründe.
In einer großartigen skurrilen Anfangssequenz,
die in ihrer Beklemmung von David Lynch
stammen könnte, entdeckt ein von ihrer Mutter
(CARRIE’s Piper Laurie!) streng unterdrücktes
Mauerblümchen (Toni Collette) die Tote – und
schafft sozusagen im Anblick des Todes
unvermittelt den Sprung in ihr eigenes Leben. In
den folgenden Kapiteln lernen wir weitere am
Unglück beteiligte Personen kennen: Die
Medizinstudentin, die in der Frauenleiche ihre
vermisste Schwester zu erkennen glaubt. Die
Mutter (Marcia Gay Harden), die auf den Spuren
ihrer ermordeten Tochter Wahrheiten erkennen
muss, die sie nie ihren Frieden finden werden
lassen. Krasser Höhepunkt und kluger
Schachzug des Thrillers ist jedoch die Vorstellung
des Mörders, über dessen Charakter und Taten
wir weitgehend secondhand erfahren, nämlich
durch die Augen seiner Frau … Stück für Stück
setzt sich das Puzzle vor uns zusammen. Nicht
alle Fragen werden dabei beantwortet. Umso
quälender und nachhaltiger bleibt der Film. THE
DEAD GIRL ist großes Kino, nicht zuletzt dank
des herausragenden Ensembles.

Luc Besson
Animation
The world has changed a great deal since the Twilight
occurred, and many players simply don’t come around
anymore. However, new players join all the time, with
twins Shugo and Rena among them. In an exciting
moment, Shugo and Rena win a contest that allows them
to use the images of Kite and Black Rose, and they get
caught up in the moment, until they begin to notice that
mysterious things keep happening to them. This
collection contains every episode from the entire series.
Director Luc Besson (THE FIFTH ELEMENT) tries his
hand at a children’s film with ARTHUR AND THE
INVISIBLES. Based on a book, this adventure follows
Arthur (Freddie Highmore) as he journeys in his own
backyard to save his home from greedy land developers.
When his grandfather disappears, Freddie follows a series
of clues that lead him to the land of the Minimoys (aka
the Invisibles). Arthur ’s entrance into their realm takes the
film from live-action to computer animation, changing
Arthur from a 10-year-old boy into one of the Minimoys.
The elf-like people he encounters are so tiny that insects
dwarf them. Their warrior princess (voiced by Madonna) is
ready to ascend the throne of the tiny kingdom. But first
she and Arthur must join forces to outwit the evil
Malthazar (voiced by David Bowie), who is intent on
destroying the kindhearted race.

Ryko Distribution 24.04.2007
The children’s cable network Nickelodeon fashions an
American spin on Japanese anime with their original
series AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. On a futuristic
Earth torn between the warring elements of Air, Earth,
Water, and Fire, only one special being known as the
Avatar can bring peace to the conflicted planet. The
trouble is, the Avatar is an immature 12-year-old boy
called Aang, who would rather wander the world having
fun-filled adventures than settle down and face his heroic
destiny. Ably blending kids-oriented comedy with martialarts action/adventure worthy of its Japanese counterparts,
AVATAR continues its second cycle with five more
episodes.

Gundam SEED Destiny - Vol. 4
Science Fiction erotic anime from Japan takes on Earth’s
nuclear future. It’s the year 2030 and a nuclear war that
broke out over global pollution issues has reduced the
population to a barren existence. The Megaro Earth
Project was begun as a domed city as a last hope for the
human race. El and Parsley are two snipers enlisted to
disarm Gimmick, leader of the Black Widow organization
who hopes to put an end to the Megaro Earth Project. In
between trying to save the Earth, El and Parsley get
drunk and have sex.
Directed by Mitsuo Fukada, this branch of the epic
Gundam anime franchise begins with the world at relative
peace. This slightly unstable state has been brought
about by a truce between the Plant and Earth forces, but
for people like coordinator Shin Asuka, the battle is not
over. The adventures continue in this fourth volume of
episodes.

Gundam Wing - Complete
Collection 1
This incredibly popular extension of the venerable
GUNDAM series has spawned a rabid following all over
the globe. The series begins as the space colonies have
grown tired of the oppressive rule by the Earth
government, a corrupt organization ruled by people who
have no real interest in the colonists or their well-being.
Their rule is unjust and unfair, but not unopposed.
Resistance forces in the colonies have created five
special Mobile Suits (robot-like vehicles) called Gundams.
Five young pilots have been selected to sneak these
Gundams down to Earth and begin a guerilla campaign
that will end the Earth government’s rule forever. Of
course, there is also romance, albeit a rather strange one.
A young woman, Relena, sees the face of one of the
Gundam pilots, which is enough for him to threaten her
life. However, a relationship forms between the two that
causes problems for both.

The classic 1980s sci-fi anime series THE GUYVER

CRISIS, GODDANNAR, and RAHXEPHON. Based on
Yoshiki Takaya’s popular manga, the series still centers
on a normal high-school student who is thrust into an epic
battle of good and evil when he stumbles upon a suit of
alien robot armor that transforms him into a powerful
mechanized warrior. But the remake aims to follow in a
more modernist tradition with stunningly stylized animation
and character designs as well as amped-up levels of
violence and gore. Gearing up to appeal to a whole new
generation of anime fans, the remake continues with four
more episodes.

Happy Feet (Full Screen)
Set in the strange and beautiful world first explored in the
2005 documentary MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, George
Miller ’s HAPPY FEET tells the story of Mumble (Elijah
Wood), a tone-deaf Emperor Penguin who is unable to
sing his „heart song,“ the ritual required to win a mate (in
this case, his beloved Gloria, voiced by Brittany Murphy).
The fact that Mumble is a terrific tap dancer is completely
lost on his tribe, and he spends a rather lonely
adolescence as an outsider. His hero’s journey involves
both discovering his own innate coolness, and, more
importantly, solving the mystery of the dwindling supply of
edible fish in the ocean. As the latter plot takes over, the
film shifts from a touching story of self-belief, to a more
urgent ecological plea, but all the themes converge when
Mumble’s special talent saves the day.

Happy Tree Friends - Season 1:
Volume 2
If Quentin Tarantino created an episode of LOONEY
TUNES, HAPPY TREE FRIENDS would be the bloody
result. With an animated cast populated by characters like
Giggles, Cuddles, and Petunia, one might expect typically
cutesy results. Instead, these animals meet their doom in
creative and violent ways. These gleefully gruesome
cartoons feature decapitations, eye-gouging, and
dismemberments. For those that think the action of Itchy
and Scratchy (of THE SIMPSONS fame) seems too tame,
HAPPY TREE FRIENDS might be the solution. This
collection presents the second half of the series’ first
season.

This new spin on an old fable is from first-time director

Red Riding Hood, the young girl who brings a basketful of
goodies to her Granny’s house only to discover the Big
Bad Wolf impersonating her beloved grandmother. In this
digitally animated version of the classic tale, a bolder Red
(Anne Hathaway) is a delivery girl for her Granny’s sweets
shop. The Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton) is there as
well, but this time he’s not exactly a threat. As for Granny
(Glenn Close), she’s hardly frail and sickly; she has a big
secret that she’s keeping from everyone—including Red.
Finally, there’s the Woodsman (Jim Belushi), a struggling
actor who drives a schnitzel-on-a-stick truck by day.

INFINITE RYVIUS is also about the clash of ideas forced

classmates aboard the massive space station Liebe Delta,
where the next generation of space workers—everyone
from pilots to engineers to stewards—are trained. But a
vicious act of sabotage sends the space station
plummeting into the cosmic body known as the Sea of
Gedalt. With the adult instructors all killed, the only hope
for the many students is themselves. Taking refuge
aboard the spacecraft Ryvius, they abandon the doomed
station and blast off into outer space, where they will have
to contend with the saboteurs, and each other, if they
ever want to get home safely. INFINITE RYVIUS: THE

Mars Daybreak - Vol. 2
Combining space travel, pirates, and advanced
technology, MARS DAYBREAK is a science-fiction anime
based on the PlayStation 2 game KENRAN BUTOUSAI.
After the conclusion of a lengthy war, the economy of
Mars suffers through a terrible depression, creating an
increasingly desperate populace willing to engage in theft
and piracy. While Gram struggles to survive, he falls in
with a gang of notorious pirates, and finds himself forced
by association to flee military forces along with them.
Although reluctant to join the crew at first, he slowly
becomes accustomed to the pirate life and begins to thirst
for excitement. MARS DAYBREAK is a cheery anime
series of high adventure, with a moderation of sex and
violence not usually found in similar programs. In this
second volume, Gram, now a legitimate pirate, adjusts to
the danger that his line of work brings. But things spiral
out of control when his gang captures the Earth
president’s granddaughter only to have her decide she
wants to stay on their pirate ship.

Surveillance is often used by directors who are keen to

cleverly used as a plot device in classics such as BODY
DOUBLE, THE CONVERSATION, and REAR WINDOW. In
ALONE WITH HER, director Eric Nicholas (RIVER RATS)
takes the theme to its logical conclusion, shooting an
entire movie on cameras stashed in ingenious locations by
the film’s central protagonist, Doug (Colin Hanks). Doug is
a dangerous loner who whiles away the hours by filming
unsuspecting women on hidden cameras, ultimately
developing an infatuation with Amy (Ana Claudia
Talancon). But after Doug has wired up her home with
cameras and microphones, he takes the ruse one step
further, using the information he’s garnered to align his
tastes with Amy’s in order to impress her at a „chance“
meeting. Naturally, Amy thinks they have a lot in common
after meeting him and they begin dating, which only spurs
him on to greater surveillance-related depravity.

A difficult gestation period led to Nick Cassavetes’s ALPHA DOG being delayed and facing possible legal battles
after the real-life subject of the film (alleged kidnapper
and murderer Jesse James Hollywood) objected to his
portrayal. The cinematic version of Hollywood is named
Johnny Truelove and played by Emile Hirsch (LORDS OF
DOGTOWN). Truelove is a wild 18-year-old who deals
drugs for a living and hangs out with his posse, who
revolve around a core of Frankie (Justin Timberlake),
Elvis (Shawn Hatosy), and Tiko (Fernando Vargas). When
a client of Truelove’s, Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), is
unable to pay off his crystal-meth debt, the group kidnaps
his 15-year-old stepbrother, Zack (Anton Yelchin), who
becomes a Patty Hearst-like accomplice in his own
abduction. Indeed, Zack positively revels in his new
position, and lives it up with the boys at every opportunity
he gets. But Cassavetes’s film really revs into gear as the
cops close in on Truelove’s band of outsiders, and they
face a tough decision about what to do with Zack.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA balances its striking special
effects with character-driven drama and social
commentary to create a show that’s both entertaining and
relevant. This critical favorite from Ronald D. Moore
(STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) re-imagines the
cult series from the 1970s with a new cast and more
impressive villains. It also eschews the sunny outlook of
STAR TREK in favor of a darker vision of space and
humanity as it comments on issues such as terrorism and
civil liberties. Androids called Cylons have massacred
billions of people, leaving only a small group of survivors.
Led by Oscar nominees Edward James Olmos and Mary
McDonnell, the human fleet searches for a mythical planet
called Earth as they evade the Cylons. This two-pack
includes every episode of the second season, including
the shocking finale. The second season features guest
appearances from genre favorites Lucy Lawless (XENA:

Though it was only a mild success upon its release in
1974, the original BLACK CHRISTMAS (directed by Bob
Clark, who would go on to direct A CHRISTMAS STORY in
1984) has become a cult favorite among horror buffs
since the dawn of the home-video era. An early example
of the „body count“ genre, the film also predates WHEN A
STRANGER CALLS (1979) in its use of a killer making
threatening phone calls that originate within his potential
victims’ own house. In this remake, writer/director Glen
Morgan takes the basics of Roy Moore’s screenplay for
the original to create an elaborate and almost comically
disturbing back story for Billy, the killer who previously
remained a mystery. A handful of sorority girls remain at
the house after the school shuts down for Christmas
break. An ominous snowstorm blows in, isolating them. At
the same time, a killer—who in this version escapes from
a mental institution to return to his former family home—
breaks into the attic and begins making terrifying phone
calls to the girls (led by Kate Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Lacey Chabert) before killing them off one by

CHILDREN OF MEN is not a popcorn movie. With its
almost relentlessly bleak perspective of the future,
Alfonso Cuarón’s film doesn’t make for pleasant viewing.
But it’s an exhilarating experience because the picture is
an incredible dystopian drama that lacks all of the typical
trappings of the genre. Set uncomfortably close to the
present, it paints a frighteningly realistic picture of the
future. In 2027, every woman on earth is infertile. With the
loss of their ability to have children, the world has also
lost hope. Clive Owen (CLOSER) plays Theo, a Briton
attempting to make a life in this hellish world. His
estranged wife (Julianne Moore) convinces him to help
transport a young woman to safety. When Theo learns
that the woman is pregnant, their journey takes on a
significance—and a danger—he never imagined.

never met. She also has a fairy godmother: the sweet
diner manager (Regina King) who helps Sam get decked
out and disguised for the Halloween dance. At the dance,
she discovers her prince is one of the popular kids, Austin
Ames (Chad Michael Murray). Happily ever after seems
like a long shot, though, because Austin is burdened by

FBI unit (headed by Val Kilmer) to help track down the
killer (a Timothy McVeigh-esque Jim Caviezel). When a
body is found floating in the river, it is determined that the
victim was murdered before the ferry blast occurred.
Unfortunately, the victim was the impossibly beautiful
Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton), whose death has begun
to torment Carlin. Adding a new level to the investigation
is a top-secret FBI invention, which allows a select group
to view the past on screen as if it had been videotaped
days earlier. The more Carlin sees of Kuchever, the more
connected to her he becomes, until he decides to risk hi

Like a lot of the best family entertainment, DINOSAURS
was fun for both kids and their parents. Children couldn’t
get enough of the slapstick humor, while adults enjoyed
the show’s satire of contemporary society. This 1990s
sitcom centered on the Sinclairs, a family of dinosaurs led
by father Earl. Though he was surrounded by devoted
wife Fran, sassy daughter Charlene, and rebellious teen
Robbie, the real star of the show was Baby Sinclair. The
talkative tyke would famously bash his father on the head
while screaming, „Not the mama!“ Jim Henson
Productions brought the creatures to life, and they
featured the vocal talents of sitcom stars like Jessica
Walters (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) and Sally Struthers
(ALL IN THE FAMILY). This release includes the third and
fourth season of the show, plus the music video for „I’m
the Baby, Gotta Love Me“ and other extras.

Based on the first novel in Christopher Paolini’s popular

in a vein similar to that of the LORD OF THE RINGS
trilogy and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. A classic
story of a quest driven by destiny and set in a land where
elves, magicians, and humans live side by side, the battle
between good and evil, innocence and cynicism, is taken
up once again. John Malkovitch camps it up as the evil
King Galbatorix, a former guardian of peace who long ago
went over to the dark side. He now rules over a land from
which dragons have all but disappeared, until humble farm
boy Eragon (newcomer Edward Speelers) happens upon a
mysterious blue object that turns out to be a dragon egg.
Eragon befriends the charming dragon cub, Saphira
(voiced with aplomb by Rachel Weisz), and becomes her
rider, designating him as the principal warrior in the fight
against evil. Jeremy Irons steals the show as the wise and
mysterious old man who becomes Eragon’s mentor,
guiding him through the tasks of saving a princess

Most people know the story of Peter Pan, the boy who

BALL) FINDING NEVERLAND delves deeper, depicting a
fictionalized account of the family and events that inspired
the classic tale. At the turn of the 20th Century, Scottish
playwright J.M. Barrie’s (Johnny Depp) latest play in
London has flopped almost as badly as his marriage to
stature-seeking Mary (Radha Mitchell). During one of his
frequent excursions to the park with his dog, Barrie meets
four young boys and their recently widowed mother, Sylvia
Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet). Soon Barrie becomes a
frequent playmate to the children, using the boys’
imagination to take them on fanciful adventures. He also
becomes a friend and confidante to the overwhelmed
Sylvia, much to the dismay of her overbearing mother
(Julie Christie). Barrie’s active imagination and interaction
with the family inspires „Peter Pan,“ a play that celebrates
the child in everyone and the importance of believing in
fantasies and miracles. A droll and amusing Dustin

This 1960s sitcom/western followed the bold yet bumbling
soldiers of F-Troop at Fort Courage in the days following
the Civil War. Led by Captain Parmenter, a naive and
wide-eyed soldier promoted to Captain due to an act of
accidental heroism, the F-Troop cavalry does its
incompetent best to survive in the lawless frontier. Making
things easier, Parmenter ’s second-in-command, the crafty
Sgt. O’Rourke, negotiates a deal with the local Hekawi
Indians in which the cavalry and the Indians stage mock
battles, but actually work together in a mutually profitable
Indian souvenir business. The true threat to F-Troop
comes from the warlike „Shug“ Indians who periodically
raid the fort. Bringing a bit of sexpot appeal to the show,
sharp-shooting cowgirl Wrangler Jane strives to marry the
innocent Captain Parmenter. A lighthearted send-up of the
Western genre, F-TROOP, with its irreverent anti-authority
attitude, showed its ties to the sixties counterculture, and
acted as a precursor to the megahit M*A*S*H.

(FORREST GUMP), the film tells an epic, fictionalized
account of how the Central Intelligence Agency was born.
Matt Damon plays Edward Wilson, a reserved young man
who graduated from Yale in the late 1930s. His
membership in the exclusive, hidden Skull and Bones
society led him away from poetry and into a relationship
with the federal government, who recruited him to help
them on several covert operations. Roth’s script
alternates between Wilson’s gradual emergence as a
genuine government operative in the early 1940s and the
infamous Bay of Pigs conflict in the early 1960s. Along the
way, he has a sweet romance with a pretty deaf girl (a
sparkling Tammy Blanchard) and ends up marrying the
woman he impregnates (Angelina Jolie) out of a strong
sense of duty. Throughout the film, the emergence of a
mysterious tape haunts Wilson, who is determined to
uncover the truth behind a leak in his secret organization.

- Dir. Kevin Billington
This adaptation of Ford Madox Ford’s classic novel
provides a look at the duplicity that lies beneath the calm
surface of a comfortable marriage. Two couples—one
British, the other American—meet at a German spa. They
form a pleasant friendship. But slowly this veneer of
normalcy is torn away, revealing deception and infidelity.
This version, aired on Masterpiece Theatre in the 1980s,
maintains the novel’s nonlinear structure, using
flashbacks to reveal the gap between life as it is
perceived, and life as it really is.

Christ’s life is presented with respect for the traditional

the Last Supper, the betrayal by Judas, and the
Crucifixion. The impassioned music of Bach, Mozart, and

by Alan Bennett. Bennett’s play provides an interesting
springboard for a film about youth, growing up, education,

relationship. Set in Sheffield, England, in the early 1980s,
the story follows a class of college-bound high-school
boys as they prepare for the rigorous entrance exams.
Feeling the boys need grooming beyond what the absurd
Mr. Hector (Richard Griffiths) and sarcastic Mrs. Lintott
(Frances De La Tour) can offer, the headmaster (Clive
Merrison) brings in Mr. Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to
fill in the gaps. As a finishing school teacher of sorts, it
becomes Irwin’s job, through innovative history lessons
and bold techniques, to turn children into men. But like his

The third and final film in the INFERNAL AFFAIRS series

first film appear in INFERNAL AFFAIRS 3, creating a
compelling ride high on tension and complex plot twists

This collection presents all three films in the blockbuster

AFFAIRS (2002) follows the parallel lives of a cop (Tony
Leung) working undercover as a mobster and a mobster
(Andy Lau) who has infiltrated the police force. INFERNAL
AFFAIRS 2 (2003) offers a prequel, while INFERNAL
AFFAIRS 3 (2003) ties up loose ends. All three films are
both commercially and critically acclaimed for eschewing
over-the-top action in favor of a more stylized and
subdued storyline that builds on emotional and
psychological tension. See individual titles for further plot

This release presents all 22 episodes from the second

Chappell) and Tess (Bridie Carter) are the two daughters
of the title. The McLeods have been brought together
after a long period of separation, thanks to their joint
inheritance of Drover’s Run, a cattle farm that has been in
their family for many generations. Together, the two
gather an all-female group of workers to keep the place

Adam Brody - Dir. Doug Liman
Named after a 1941 Alfred Hitchcock film, MR. AND MRS.
SMITH is really its own ball of flaming wax, with enough
sizzling chemistry between stars Angelina Jolie and Brad
Pitt to blow up a small building. He shows he is equally
adept in comedy and action, and she manages to set new
screen standards of bad-ass sexiness. It’s impossible to
dislike this pair, or a movie that makes being married
seem like such insane fun. Pitt and Jolie play extremely
skilled professional assassins who have managed to stay
married for five years without ever realizing each other’s
profession because they work for rival agencies and the
work is top secret. When their paths eventually cross on a
high-level hit, one of the most lethal battles of the sexes
in the history of cinema is officially on. Thanks to a
genuinely witty script, the issue isn’t who will win, but
whether the couple will realize they are meant for each
other before it’s too late. Director Doug Liman was
obviously the right choice for the material, having proved
his ability to fuse engaging romance with knuckle-biting
action in 2002’s THE BOURNE IDENTITY. The c

Creator Darren Star and executive producer Aaron
Spelling followed up on the massive success of their
1990s teen drama BEVERLY HILLS 90210 with a spinoff
series that went on to match its parent show’s popularity
(and made its Monday night timeslot a night of must-see
TV). A grownup, racier version of 90210, MELROSE
PLACE harkened back to the days of classic nighttime
soaps like DYNASTY and DALLAS while adding a
decidedly younger, hipper edge with amped-up levels of
sex, betrayal, murder, and a multiple personality or two.
The backstabbing action centered around a group of
fashionable, affluent twentysomethings living in a stylish
apartment complex on the titular L.A. strip: vulnerable ad
exec Alison Parker (Courtney Thorne-Smith); her
roommate/love interest, Billy Campbell (Andrew Shue);
the increasingly conniving doctor Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro); his sweetly innocent wife, Jane (Josie

museum is closed, everything inside comes to life. From

Now it’s Larry’s job to control the mayhem and show his

magnetism by Treat Williams) and his squad busting a
group of Colombian drug lords and netting themselves a
clean $48,000 on the side. When Ciello is called in for
questioning by the Chase Commission investigating police
corruption—like Serpico before him—the seeds of doubt
and guilt lead him into a dangerous game of truth and lies
as he begins to inform on his colleagues. At first the
adrenaline gleaned from the illegal activities of the SIU
carries over to the equally dangerous tasks of ensnaring
his fellow cops; however; as the countdown to redemption
and revenge becomes fever-pitched, Ciello’s resolve

Will Smith is a father struggling to take care of his young
son in this touching tale based on a true story. In San
Francisco circa 1981, Chris Gardner’s (Smith) luck has
run out. A bad business investment, a bevy of parking
tickets, and back taxes in addition to rent, childcare, and
groceries keep him constantly scrambling for cash. Chris
thinks his luck is changing when he is accepted into a
highly competitive internship program at a brokerage firm.
But the internship is unpaid and soon, despite his best
efforts, Chris and his five-year old son, Christopher
(Jaden Christopher Syre Smith—Will Smith’s real life son),
find themselves homeless. Chris might spend his days
training to invest and make millions, but he and Christopher spend their nights in shelters and public
transportation stations.

Helen Mirren delivers a royally stirring performance as
Queen Elizabeth II in Stephen Frears’s fictional romp,
THE QUEEN. The year is 1997, and Great Britain has a
newly elected prime minister, the youthful, optimistic Tony
Blair (Michael Sheen). In Buckingham Palace, the Queen
doesn’t appear to be fazed by Blair’s arrival. Then again,
she doesn’t appear to be fazed by anything. But when
Diana—her son’s ex-wife and the mother of her
grandchildren—is killed in a tragic car accident, her
authority is tested as never before. While the Queen
Mother (Sylvia Syms) and Prince Philip (James Cromwell)
agree with her decision to remain at their holiday estate in
Balmoral and not publicly acknowledge the tragedy, Tony
Blair feels differently. Unfortunately, so do the English
people. Making matters worse is the out-of-control media,
which has begun to castigate the queen for her silence. In
order to retain her grip on the country that she has served
for so many years, she must swallow her pride and let the
world know that she does, in fact, care.

visit his rich and powerful friend Tibey (Anthony Quinn) on
his Mexican estate. Tibey’s violent temper and shady
business dealings make him a dangerous man. His young
trophy wife, the doe-eyed and melancholy Miryea (Madeleine Stowe), yearns for motherhood and finds her
marriage to this older man who does not want any more
children unfulfilling. Despite his friendship with Tibey,
Cochran finds himself drawn to Miryea and they begin an
illicit affair, risking Tibey’s wrath each time they meet.
Eventually, their luck runs out and the two are forced to
face the consequences of their actions as a cycle of
revenge begins. Neither Cochran nor Miryea realize how
vicious Tibey can be until it is too late. Filmed on location

A monumental achievement of the Mexican cinema, RIO
ESCONDIDO is notable in a number of respects. It was
directed by Emilio Fernandez, historically one of the most
important Latin American filmmakers, at the height of his
success and popularity. The star is Maria Félix, an actress
with iconic status in Mexico, and the villain is played by
Carlos López Moctezuma, who won an Ariel (the Mexican
equivalent of the Oscar) for his role in the film. The
influence of Sergei Eisenstein on Fernandez is manifest in
the film, with a story of poverty-stricken villagers being
exploited by a cruel governor. Félix plays a teacher sent
by the President to investigate the horrible living
conditions and corrupt bureaucracies of the countryside.
She arrives in Ciudad Juarez, where greedy thug (López
Moctezuma) has seized control of the town and terrorizes
its populace. The teacher educates the townspeople in
how to defend themselves and battle the villainous mayor.
RIO ESCONDIDO is a story of social justice made by
some of the giants of Mexican cinema.

One of the major family sitcoms of the late 1980s/early
1990s, ROSEANNE became popular for its no-nonsense
attitude and its humorously honest portrayal of American
life. With a set resembling the living room of countless
family homes across the United States, the show
concerned itself the with the antics of its main star, Roseanne Barr, her husband Dan (John Goodman), and their
kids. More like a regular working-class family than any
other characters previously seen on television, the Illinoisbred Connors use brutal honesty and acerbic wit to raise
their three children: rapidly maturing Becky, sarcastic
Darlene, and precocious DJ. Meanwhile, they have to deal
with the typical problems of an American family, such as
annoying relatives, worries about jobs and money, and the
struggle to find time for themselves. ROSEANNE was
among the first shows on television to deal in a truthful
and deglamorized way with everyday issues that average
viewers could relate to—and it managed to remain funny
and touching while doing so. Each uncut episode from the
show’s seventh season is included here.

as the government’s capacity to abuse and manipulate
power. Using the same interpolated rotoscoping technique

combines filmmaking techniques from the 1960s with a
modern jolt of blood and violence, resulting in a work that
feels completely fresh and new. The story itself is simple
enough: a lower-class boy, Dum, falls in love with a
wealthy girl, Rumpoey, but their social differences keep
them apart. Years later, Dum returns home only to
discover that his father has been murdered by a gang of
brutal outlaws. Traumatized by this event, Dum becomes a
renegade bandit who will stop at nothing to avenge his
father ’s death. When he reconnects with Rumpoey, she’s
slated to marry the policeman who has been trying to
track down Dum. On her wedding day, Dum (aka Black

his dream of being with Rumpoey once and for all.

Hearing that Cisco is living in Mexico, Burt rounds up his
little brother to accompany him through Mexico as he
searches for Cisco in order to exact his revenge.
However, Cisco has turned himself into the despot of a
small rural town, controlling its citizens with fear and the
small army he has accumulated over the years. Violent,
operatic, and wickedly funny, TEXAS, ADDIO turns the

THIEVES LIKE US, director Robert Altman’s remake of
Nicholas Ray’s THEY LIVE BY NIGHT—a 1949 adaptation
of the Raymond Chandler novel—is an authentic,
understated drama that is as much a love story as it is a
gangster picture. Taking place in the South during the
1930s Depression, the film follows the exploits of three
recent prison escapees who become wanted after a string
of bank robberies. The hapless criminals—Bowie (Keith
Carradine), Chicamaw (John Schuck), and T-Dub—shack
up at the home of Dee Mobley (Tom Skerritt), where
Bowie falls in love with Dee’s daughter Keechie (Shelley
Duvall). Soon, Keechie in tow, the foursome settles at
Mattie’s (Louise Fletcher) house. Eventually, Bowie and
Keechie move in together and struggle to maintain their
relationship while Chicamaw and T-Dub do their best to
stay out of trouble, but before they can perform one final
robbery, the law threatens to put them out of commission.
Altman tells an honest story of ordinary people who fell
into a life of crime because it was the only thing they
knew how to do. He also incorporates a ROMEO AND

Carol Reed reached the peak of his form with this classic
noir, an elegy for American innocence and European
elegance. Joseph Cotten, in fine form, stars as
unemployed pulp-novelist Holly Martins. When he arrives
in post-WWII Vienna on the promise of a job from his old
friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), he finds that Lime has
recently died in a dubious car accident. Against the advice
of British sector authority Major Calloway (Trevor
Howard), who accuses Lime of criminal behavior, the
indignant Martins decides to stay to investigate his
friend’s death. He searches this city of rubble-strewn
streets and bombed-out buildings, earnestly questioning
Lime’s associates, a cynical, war-weary collection of
black-market hustlers. At length, he realizes that the
stories he’s hearing are so full of contradiction, he’s
getting nowhere. Yet, he’s entranced by Lime’s beautiful
girlfriend, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli), who, unlike the
others, seems to have loved Harry. Calloway finally
provides evidence of Harry’s treachery, and Martins,
despondent, is about to return home when everything
changes in a shadowed moment. T

The grieving widow and mother responds to the killings by
commanding her daughters to act. She assigns each

friend Ian (Leslie Phillips) are two classy curmudgeons
whiling away their hours in coffee shops and at the
theater, but their routine is thrown for a loop when Ian’s
niece’s daughter Jessie (Jodie Whittaker) is sent from the

sullen and pouty, immediately drinking all the liquor in the
house and slouching her way from room to room. But
Maurice befriends her, taking her to museums and getting
her a gig as an art model, and along the way he openly
expresses the lust she has awakened in him. Jessie’s
brash rejections of his affections are at first as amusing
as they are awkward. When she starts to allow him small
pleasures—like kissing her bare shoulders or caressing
her hands—the film enters into some uncomfortable,
complicated territory, but it is deftly navigated by Hanif

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy team up in this
talkative comedy about two scientists who discover love
through co-habitation. Wartime housing shortages are in
effect, so for purely pragmatic reasons Pat Jamieson and
Jamie Rowan decide to get married. Romance is never
supposed to enter the picture — she’s mourning her dead
husband and he’s pining for a long lost love — but things
don’t work out quite the way they planned.

when he was accused of taking part in a multiple murder
that forms the basis of James Cox’s dizzying
WONDERLAND. Val Kilmer, who previously embodied
rock lead singer Jim Morrison in THE DOORS, transforms
himself into the famous porn celebrity in this excitingly
sordid tale of excess, which is told from the point of view
of several different players, echoing Akira Kurosawa’s
RASHOMON. Under the stage name Johnny Wadd,
Holmes was rumored to have had sex with more than
14,000 women in some 1,000 X-rated films; his dangerous
life caught up with him when he died of AIDS in 1988. Cox
has assembled an unlikely cast for this lurid story,
including such well-known television stars as Lisa Kudrow
(FRIENDS), Dylan McDermott (THE PRACTICE), and
Christina Applegate (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), in
addition to Carrie Fisher, Janeane Garofalo, and Eric
Bogosian, among others. In order to ensure accuracy, C

nothing but peas, which will hopefully prove a bizarre

Deep Sea (IMAX)
The wondrous denizens of the diverse marine habitat
known as a coral reef are the subject matter of Howard
Hill’s DEEP SEA 3-D (originally an IMAX presentation).
Exploring the reefs throughout the Pacific, Hill’s cameras
capture a rare close-up glimpse of turtles, shrimp,
scallops, sharks, eels, starfish, jellyfish, octopuses, and
much more. Thematically, the film examines the balance
of life and symbiosis between these creatures. There are
the hunters and the hunted, yet there is always another
species that keeps the hunters in check, too. Similarly,
some species of smaller fish eat by feeding on sea
material that collects on some larger fish, which also
cleans the larger fish’s scales. The continued and
necessary persistence of this activity is quite important to
the collective survival of the animals, the reef and,
indeed, all of humanity. Narrated almost conversationally
by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, DEEP SEA 3-D is a
thrilling, intimate, and educational look at the unknown
depths of the world underwater; enjoyable for kids and
adults of any age.
