Funny Games (DVD)
A powerfully graphic film (even though no violence is ever shown on the screen itself) about an Austrian family who goes on a country vacation and become the victims of two cold-blooded psychopaths who are out to torture them with their funny games. Haneke`s point, that fictional violence is as real as the real world`s, is presented chillingly in this extremely well-acted, yet potentially offensive effort. Weak of stomach, beware.Unrated"
Director: Michael Haneke
ACTORS: Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Muhe, Arno Frisch, Frank Giering

Lured (DVD)
Before being forever associated with melodrama, acclaimed director Douglas Sirk dabbled in other genres. LURED, a good example of this, is a witty and stylish thriller about a serial killer terrorizing the streets of London. Lucille Ball stars as Sandra, a sassy and beautiful taxi dancer, who decides to assist the police after her best friend becomes the latest victim of the Poet Killer, a mysterious murderer who lures women through classified ads. Sandra launches on an endless quest, answering every suspicious ad in the paper in search of the elusive killer, whose only clues are enigmatic poems based on the poetry of Beaudelaire. En route to the real killer, Sandra encounters a ridiculous cast of ominous characters, from an insane dressmaker (played by an arch and hilarious Boris Karloff) and a shady character who traffics in white slavery. The killer still eludes Sandra and the Scotland Yard, and her growing affection for the stylish nightclub owner Robert Flemming proves to bring more complications than she imagines, leading to a surprising and ingenious climax. Ball is sharp and glamorous as the unwitting detective and Sirk`s swift and fast-paced direction melds humor with suspense to created a highly entertaining thriller.NR"

Moby Dick: The True Story (DVD)
This enthralling program, produced by the Discovery Channel, tells the true story of Owen Chase, upon which Herman Melville`s classic MOBY DICK was based. Setting out from Nantucket in August of 1819, Chase and his crew had a devastating encounter with a charging sperm whale that weighed a remarkable 80 tons and ended up stranded them on 3 small whaleboats, thousands of miles away from land. This hour-long recreation is a fascinating and informative account of one of the world`s most known stories of man against nature.NR"
