Cruel Intentions/Cruel Intentions 2 (DVD)
In CRUEL INTENTIONS, director Kumble transfers the Dangerous Liaisons tale to Manhattan, where Kathryn bets her step-brother Sebastian that he can`t deflower the virginal Annette before the school year begins. If he fails to accomplish this task, Kathryn gets his Jaguar Roadster; if he succeeds, he gets Kathryn.
CRUEL INTENTIONS 2: This prequel to the hit movie follows the adventures of rakish young Sebastian, who, at age sixteen, is determined to redeem himself for past transgressions and become a one-woman man. His kind intentions are complicated by his recently acquired stepsister, Katherine Mertuil, a viciously manipulative debutante who enjoys toying with the love (and sex) lives of her fellow high school students. Sebastian soon finds himself smitten with the adorably naive Danielle, daughter of his high school headmaster, and sets about winning her heart. But Katherine`s duplicity may result in his downfall as she slyly positions herself between Sebastian and his newfound love, offering dual temptations of sex and power. Originally filmed as the prospective pilot for a television series that never materialized.R"

Hollywood Homicide (DVD)
Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) is an LAPD officer moonlighting as a real-estate agent to make ends meet. K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) is a fellow officer, sometimes masquerading as a yoga instructor to meet women, and harboring some serious acting aspirations. As the two struggle to pursue their sideline businesses, they get called up to investigate the mysterious murder of a rap group called H20 Klick. As the duo track down the killers, plenty of laughs ensue as they both desperately attempt to sell their alternative careers to anyone that crosses their paths. Joe attempts to sell property to the nightclub owner where the shootings took place, and K.C. endlessly quotes movie dialogue in an attempt to brush up on his acting skills at the most inopportune moments. The action builds to a frantic finale involving some spectacular--and hilarious--car chases around the crime-strewn streets of Los Angeles.
Director Ron Shelton (BULL DURHAM) utilizes some eccentric casting (Martin Landau and Master P both have cameo roles), a string of witty one-liners, and spectacular location shoots to tell this humorous tale. Ford and Hartnett make a convincing on-screen partnership, clearly enjoying their roles as mismatched cop buddies, and providing plenty of laughs among the often chaotic, action-packed sequences.PG-13"
