This Week: Costumed Crimefighting
Featured Title: The Avengers
The Avengers brought a '60s TV fave to the big screen, with
Ralph Fiennes as elegant British secret agent John Steed and
Uma Thurman as brilliant, beautiful scientist Emma Peel. They have to stop
Sean Connery's plan to bring the globe to its knees by controlling the weather, and if
Uma and
Ralph fail,
Connery will control everything under the sun! Stylish, cool and a touch campy,
The Avengers is swingin' heroic action.
Already Seen It?

This Week: High-Tech Horrors
Featured Title: Event Horizon
Event Horizon is a cross between two distinctive genres (think of it as a haunted house in space) that's full of chills and scares. When the
experimental faster-than-light starcraft Event Horizon re-appears in 2047 after a seven-year disappearance, a rescue ship is dispatched. The captain
(Laurence Fishburne), the Horizon's designer
(Sam Neill) and the rest of the mission team soon realize that wherever the now-empty Horizon went, it wasn't a good place to be.
Creepy and spooky,
Event Horizon combines tomorrow's dreams and yesterday's nightmares.
