Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story (DVD)
Newcomer Ashley Rose Orr stars in this made for television biopic as Shirley Temple, one the biggest film stars of the 1930s whose fame came as a toddler and ended during her pre teen years. Based on her autobiography of the same name, CHILD STAR is the story of her rise to fame during the worst days of the Great Depression, and her inevitable fall from favor as she got older, leading Shirley to return to life of a normal child. Featuring a fine and endearing performance from Ms. Orr, CHILD STAR is a entertaining and satisfying look at the life of a young actress who was much more than a child star.NR"

Pokimon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (DVD)
The first major motion picture from the Pokemon empire is sure to keep children coming back for more. When a scientist clones a Pokemon named Mew, the resulting clone, Mewtwo, begins cloning Pokemons as well. Enter Ash Ketcham, who travels to the evil island with a group of friends to battle the clones and attempt to restore normalcy to the planet. A definite plus is that the film ends on a moral note, with the realization that fighting is wrong and pointless.G"

When a young urbanite calls to order cable TV for his apartment he gets much more than he bargained for, as the demented title character arrives and proceeds to insinuate his way into the beleaguered customer`s life. Raised by television as a child and starved for human contact, the cable guy is a darkly hilarious carnation of the modern age. Carey`s manic karaoke rendition of Jefferson Airplane`s Somebody to Love is a twisted highlight.
PG-13"
Director: Ben Stiller
ACTORS: Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann, George Segal, Ben Stiller

Jet Li once again joins up with a musical costar in Andrzej Bartkowiak`s thrill-a-minute CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE. Li was introduced to American audiences as the villain in Richard Donner`s LETHAL WEAPON 4, which featured former Crystals lead singer Darlene Love. Li got his first English-language starring role in Bartkowiak`s ROMEO MUST DIE, with the late Aaliyah and rapper DMX. The director has reteamed Li and DMX as men on opposite sides of the law who are forced to work together in CRADLE. DMX plays Fait, a powerful man with a deep love for black diamonds but a deeper love for his daughter (who gets kidnapped). Li is Su, a Taiwanese agent--Fait calls him the Kung Fu James Bond--who has come to Los Angeles to find the stones and capture his former partner, Ling (Mark Dacascos), who is after the gems as well. The action is fast and furious as Su sides with Fait to battle helicopters, trains, fancy cars, motorcycles, tanks, and flying ATVs in rings of fire and pouring rain. High-tech heists and heavy heat send the action quotient soaring while Tom Arnold supplies comic relief and karate hottie Kelly Hu adds mystery and romance (along with awesome martial arts stunts).
