Next of Kin/Family Viewing (DVD)
This double feature of Canadian director Atom Egoyan`s first two films offers a chance not only to see two stunning early efforts from one of the 1990s best filmmakers, but also to see how he dealt with his main obsessions, sex, dysfunctional families, and video, as a young director. NEXT OF KIN follows Peter, a 23 year old man still living with his parents with whom he attends video therapy. However, when he sees the tape of an Armenian family who gave up their son for adoption years earlier, he decides to try and pass himself off as their long lost son. In FAMILY VIEWING, a young man named Van leaves home after he finds that his father has taped homemade pornography, featuring he and Van`s stepmother, with whom Van is also sleeping with, over their old home videos.NR"

GALAXY QUEST is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the influence science fiction shows such as STAR TREK have had on their audience. The cast members of the cult sci-fi television series GALAXY QUEST now earn their livings appearing at conventions and grand openings, led by their bomastic captain Jason Nesmith, played by Tim Allen. When an alien race--the Thermians--arrives on earth, it appears that they have mistakenly appropriated the show`s culture as their own, thinking the series was actual fact. Desperate for help in battling the evil General Sarris, they bring the actors with them into space to save their planet. A surprisingly smart and funny send-up of the science-fiction culture and the influence television has on the world at large, GALAXY QUEST is a comedy that even nongenre fans can enjoy, with terrific turns by Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shalhoub.

Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker--of AIRPLANE! and NAKED GUN fame--wrote and directed this genre-hopping slapstick juggernaut which lampoons World War II spy films and Elvis movies, making many other satirical stops along the way. East Germany is planning a cultural festival, and invites rock-and-roll singer Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) (but only after Leonard Bernstein can`t make it). The festival, however is a mere distraction so that the Germans can launch a secret attack on a submarine fleet without being detected. Nick soon finds himself involved with the French resistance, encountering slapstick gags and film parodies every time he turns around.
