Traffik - Miniseries
Like The Singing Detective, Alastair
Reid's award-winning 1989 British miniseries has taken on mythic status. The
critical and box-office success of Steven Soderbergh's Oscar®-winning
feature-film adaptation paved the way for Traffik's home-video
release, and it's an even more gripping and devastating experience. It unfolds
over five riveting hours, allowing for richer characterization and operating on
a broader canvas.

If These Walls Could Talk 2
HBO caused a stir when it aired If These
Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all
of whom occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies.
HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of
women who love women. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the
first.

Mission to Mars
If Brian De Palma directed Mission to
Mars for 10-year-olds who've never seen a science fiction film, he can
be credited for crafting a marginally successful adventure. Isolated moments in
this film serve the highest purpose of its genre, inspiring a sense of wonder
and awe in the context of a fascinating future (specifically, the year 2020).
But it works because most of us have seen a lot of science fiction
films.

Gormenghast
The BBC's lavish, glowingly designed adaptation of
Mervyn Peake's eccentrically brilliant novels Titus Groan and
Gormenghast is a triumph of casting. Ian Richardson's King
Lear-like depiction of the mad earl of a remote, vast, ritual-obsessed building
is matched by the brutal pragmatism of Celia Imrie as his wife, the
synchronized madness of Zoë Wanamaker and Lynsey Baxter as his twin
sisters, and the duplicitous charm of Jonathan Rhys-Meyer as Steerpike, the
kitchen boy determined to take over no matter how many deaths it
costs.

T-Rex - Back to the Cretaceous (IMAX)
Did you ever want to get so close to a mama T.
rex that you could pat her scaly reptilian snout? Now you'll know what
that's like, thanks to aspiring paleontologist Ally Hayden (Liz Stauber), the
teenage heroine of the 1998 IMAX film T-Rex: Back to the
Cretaceous. Ally's dino-expert father (Peter Horton) has just returned
from his latest dig with a fossilized T. rex egg, and when Ally
accidentally cracks it open in her dad's museum laboratory, a puff of
mysterious smoke catapults her back to the Cretaceous period, when
dinosaurs--especially T. rex--ruled the Earth.

His quicksilver wit and manic energy brought Jack
Lemmon early notoriety as a comedic natural, but this enormously appealing
actor gambled and won by tackling darker roles as well. From the early 1960s
onward, Lemmon alternated rib-ticklers with more provocative choices, proving
himself an actor's actor. We remember this cinematic Everyman with a gallery of
his most popular performances.
