SomE VideO ReviewS!

MULAN. Disney's latest classic is awesome! A girl goes to fight in the Emperor's army in place of her father, and ends up saving the nation! Funny bits with Mushu, aka Eddie Murphy, and the musical score is breathtaking. Rated G. Family.

THE MASK OF ZORRO. Anthony Hopkins plays the swashbuckler who must now teach his new apprentice, Antonio Banderas the ways of the famous Spanish hero in order to save a country from persecution. Awesome chemistry between the actors, and the action is explosive! Rated PG-13. Action.

TITANIC. Hey, everyone knows what this movie's about. But just in case you were living on another planet the last year, here it is: a beautiful and horrific tale of one of the most terrible maritime disasters of all time. A drifter named Jack Dawson falls in love with Rose Dewitt Bukater, a "poor little rich girl", and like the poster says, nothing on earth could come between them. A brilliant, Oscar winning film. Rated PG-13. Drama.

WAG THE DOG. A brilliant political comedy that makes ludicrously funny statements about our government, however there is an intersting realization that life is truly imitating art. Dustin Hoffman plays a Hollywood producer who is hired to "fake" a war between the US and Albainia to cover up a presidential scandal. Rated R. Comedy.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS. With two Oscar winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt, As Good As It Gets proves to be one of the funniest romantic comedies of the year. Nicholoson plays Melvin Udall, a man with OCD and a big mouth. Only after an unlikely roadtrip does he, his neighbor Simon, and the waitress Carol, come to terms with the challenges in their lives. Rated PG-13. Romantic Comedy.

THE FULL MONTY. This Oscar nominee brings lots of laughs when a group of Britich men are fired from their jobs at the steel men and are left with few alternatives to get money other then go "The Full Monty". A great movie for making you higher in spirits. Rated R. Comedy.

CONTACT. Intelligent film about a young scientist who struggles with what might be the most improtant discovery of all mankind: a radio signal from another civilization 26 light years away in the remote system of Vega. Entwined with thoughts of Religion and Politics, CONTACT, poses many questions, while touching the heart. Rated PG. Science-Fiction.

MEN IN BLACK. A fuuny summer release that returned Will Smith and zany aliens. This time, he teams up with Tommy Lee Jones, as gpvernment agents, "protecting the earth from the scum of the universe." Based on the comic book charcters, "Men In Black." Rated PG-13. Comedy-Adventure.

BATMAN AND ROBIN. For those die hard Batman fanatics, this movie's sure to please, but many reviews have mentioned the fact that this movie is a carbon copy of it's three predecessors. However, the art direction, costumes, and makeup are absolutly amazing, and they bring new life to old Gotham City. Rated PG, Action-Adventure.

THE LOST WORLD. The meat of this movie is the dinosaurs. In the wild romp that is the sequel toJurassic Park,chaos is clearly depicted, and director Steven Speilberg pulls many creative strings. However, don't take the movie too seriously, or your not in for much fun. Ease up, and you'll truly be entertained. Adventure, Rated PG-13.

DANTE'S PEAK. Despite some poor reviews and a hard to believe scene, Dante's Peak is quite a thrill ride and very entertaining. The F/X are incredable to watch, and rank right up there with Twister.Set around a cozy little town, a seismologist comes to warn and to investigate the people and the tinderbox they live next to. Rated PG- 13, Action- Adventure

*--------------------*

THAT DARN CAT. Christina Ricci tickled audiences in The Addams Family and Casper. Funnyman Doug E. Doug brought down the house in Cool Runnings and Operation Dumbo Drop. Now they're teaming up as would-be detectives out to solve a baffling mystery! With the help of a rookie FBI agent, a 16 year old girl sets out to solve the crime by following her faithful tomcat into a series of hysterically unexpected surprises! Rated PG, Comedy Adventure.

SHINE. From the time he was a boy, David, (Played by Noah Taylor, Geoffrey Rush) was demanded by his father to excel as a concert pianist. When an opportunity to study music abroad confronts him, his father forbids it. David is banished from his home when he chooses to do so, and plunges in and out of psychotic episodes as he grows older. Still retaining his geinus for music, luck brings him to meet Gillian, whom he marries, and helps him cope with himself as well as his father's later death. Rated PG, Drama

*--------------------*

EVITA. Madonna and Antonio Banderas star in this critically acclaimed hit. Based on the true story of Eva Peron, a poor young girl with a scandalous history who rose to international fame by defending the poor. And in just a few years, changed a nation forever. This compelling musical chronicles her controversial rise to fame and fortune in a country that would never be the same. Drama, Rated PG.

CITIZEN RUTH. Outlandish and outrageous, Laura Dern plays Ruth Stoops, a wayside woman who has become pregnant, and arrested for vagrancy. Never sure of what she wanted in the first place, she becomes swept up in a "war" between the politics of Pro- Choice Activists and the Anti-Abortionists from around the state. Funny and provocative! Comedy, Rated R.
