Panic in the Skies (DVD)
Struck by lightning in midair, a 747 has begun hurtling its passengers towards their doom. With the pilot and copilot dead, there is no one to safely guide the plane down. Laurie (Jackson), the head flight attendant, and a passenger, Brett (Marino) take it upon themselves to try and save the plane. They are relieved to find that the auto-pilot can safely land them, but their relief doesn`t last long; they soon determine that the auto-pilot can`t lock in a suitable airport where the jumbo jet can land. Meanwhile, the Air Force is deciding whether they should just shoot the plane down over a deserted area rather than have it crash into a city.NR"

Following (DVD)
Bill (Jeremy Theobald) is in trouble. He`s a writer who, when bored with pounding the keys on his Remington, goes into the streets to follow people. He becomes so obsessed with following them that he has set up rules--like not following them when he discovers where they live or work. Then, one day, he breaks those rules. And, as he explains to the policeman he is telling all this to, that was when the trouble started. Bill gets closer and closer to those he is following. He follows one man into a restaurant, and is startled when the man, Cobb (Alex Haw), confronts him. Cobb, too, is interested in people--but he doesn`t follow them, his interested is peaked by robbing them. Bill joins Cobb in breaking into an apartment. So begins FOLLOWING, Christopher Nolan`s fiendishly clever first film. Nolan was director, screenwriter, co-producer, director of photography, and co-editor, and only able to shoot on Saturdays--the filming took a year. Set in the grimy streets of London, the tightly wound thriller unfolds in a series of overlapping plots, each more intricate than the last, each pulling Bill deeper and deeper into ever worse trouble. FOLLOWING may be short in length and cheaply made; it is also devastating.R"

Angel Eyes (DVD)
Jennifer Lopez stars as tough Chicago cop Sharon Pogue in Luis Mandoki`s ANGEL EYES. Sharon gives no quarter to the criminals on her beat. She`s all too ready to beat up any lowlife who treats her disrespectfully. Sharon grew up in an abusive household, and this is the root of her anger. Catch (Jim Caviezel) has his own trauma to deal with. He`s a drifter, seemingly connected to nothing and no one. But he suddenly becomes focused one day when he spots Sharon at a coffee shop. When she rushes headlong into a potentially fatal situation, he`s there to save her. This odd, quiet, mysterious man intrigues her, and they begin to take tentative steps toward a relationship. Sharon discovers that Catch is dealing with a tragic past, and in his efforts to escape his pain, he`s lost everything--even his identity. ANGEL EYES is a sensitive, intelligent, and touching romantic drama about two people struggling to connect despite tremendous odds. The film is surprising in small ways, in its telling details, its gentle humor, and in the subtly effective performances of its stars--Lopez, Caviezel, and especially Sonia Braga, in an uncharacteristically fragile performance as Sharon`s abused mother.R"
