	Mirrormask (more) »rank: 2258 starring: Jason Barry, Dora Bryan, Rob Brydon, Stephen Fry, Andy Hamilton Our review:Description: MIRRORMASK is the story of Helena, who works for the family circus, and wishes--quite ironically--that she could run away and join real life. But such is not to be the case, as she finds herself on a strange journey into the Dark Lands, a fantastic landscape filled with giants, Monkeybirds and dangerous sphinxes. Helena searches for the Mirrormask, an object of enormous power that is her only hope of escaping the Dark Lands, waking the Queen of Light and returning home. The long-awaited DVD boasts more than ... Detail		Farscape - The Complete First Season (more) »rank: 6680 directed: Tony Tilse, Ian Watson (II), Geoff Bennett (II) Our review: :Farscape is genre television at its most ambitious, inspired both by the cult appeal of Babylon 5 and the continuing success of the Star Trek franchise, but taking a visual and conceptual leap beyond those shows. Making extensive use of CGI, prosthetics, and state-of-the-art puppetry, courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it look and feel completely original. Among the first season's 22 episodes, 'Premiere' introduces the characters and the basic premise: American astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) is flung through ... Detail
	Quantum Leap - The Complete First Season (more) »rank: 4077 directed: Chris Ruppenthal, John Cullum, Paul Brown (III), Bob Hulme, Stuart Margolin Our review:Description:Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and Vanished...He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to ... Detail		The Fifth Element (more) »rank: 5468 starring: Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker directed: Luc Besson Our review: :Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look ...

	The Time Machine (more) »rank: 5573 starring: Guy Pearce, Jeremy Irons, Doug Jones, Phyllida Law, Lenny Loftin Our review: :While the 1960 version of The Time Machine remains a science fiction classic, this adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel benefits from a dazzling CGI facelift. Digital wizardry shows us the awesome splendor of eons passing in an eye blink, while Wells's heroic time traveler--played with appealing conviction by Memento's Guy Pearce--is given a stronger motivation for piloting his time machine 800,000 years into the future. Long after New York City has crumbled and the moon shattered by a nuclear accident, Pearce finds a new home with the ... Detail		The Road Warrior (more) »rank: 2807 starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells directed: George Miller (II) Our review: :A strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like the Star Wars trilogy (by that other George) the Mad Max films draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But ... Detail

Detail		The Day After (more) »rank: 5604 starring: Jason Robards, JoBeth Williams, Steve Guttenberg, John Cullum, John Lithgow directed: Nicholas Meyer Our review: :The countdown has begun! Against the real-life backdrop of the US deployment of WMDs in Europe during the escalating cold war this dramatically involving [and] agonizingly graphic film (The Hollywood Reporter) about nuclear holocaust detonated a direct hit into the heartland of America. Starring Jason Robards JoBeth Williams Steven Guttenberg John Cullum and John Lithgow this controversial potent drama (Leonard Maltin) remains one of the most talked-about programs in history (Newsweek)! When cold-war tensions reach the ultimate boiling point the inhabitants of a small town in Kansas ... Detail
	The Postman (more) »rank: 5038 starring: Kevin Costner, Will Patton, Larenz Tate, Olivia Williams, James Russo directed: Kevin Costner Our review: :Falling from the Oscar-winning glory of Dances with Wolves to the opposite end of the critical and box-office scale, Kevin Costner must have been deeply humbled when this three-hour postapocalyptic tale--his sophomore effort as a director--was greeted with a critical thrashing and tepid audience response. One of the most conspicuous flops of its decade, the 1997 release must have seemed like a sure thing on paper: a kind of futurist Western starring Costner as a charismatic drifter-turned-hero who leads the resistance against a military tyrant (Will Patton) by ...
