Cheaper by the Dozen (DVD)
College sweethearts Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate (Bonnie Hunt) both dreamed of having a huge family and fulfilling careers.
College sweethearts Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate (Bonnie Hunt) both dreamed of having a huge family and fulfilling careers. But after they had a few kids, Kate gave up her career as a sportswriter, Tom abandoned his hope of becoming the coach of their alma mater's football team, and they moved their brood from the city to the country. Now, after twelve children and a happy life in rural Illinois, Tom has been offered the chance to live his dream and coach the Stallions. No sooner does the family pack up and move to Chicago to pursue Tom's dream job then Kate's ship comes in as well; a publisher has picked up her manuscript based on her experiences raising twelve children. Of course, there's a hitch. Kate has to go to New York for a few days, leaving Tom as the primary care giver for his clan. Can Tom hold it together with his kids--who didn't want to move in the first place--pulling him one way and the university pulling him the other? Shawn Levy directs this likable update of the 1950 film of the same title which was based on a true story.

The Harder They Come (DVD)
Reggae music serves as both soundtrack and plot element in this film starring music legend Jimmy Cliff. Such hits as You Can Get It If You Really Want, Many Rivers to Cross, and Sitting in Limbo, punctuate the film`s action, introducing reggae and its Jamaican roots to a worldwide audience. Here, Cliff plays Ivan Martin, a poor country boy who goes to the city to make money, and becomes a street rebel and a pop idol overnight. In Kingston, Ivan finds nothing but corruption. The record company offers him a mere $20 to release his single, The Harder They Come. Ivan takes to the streets, where he is ensnared by crime. After brutally knifing a man, he serves a prison sentence. Once free, he supports himself by selling marijuana, protecting himself from legal persecution by giving the cops a cut. But that doesn`t keep him from getting mixed up in a police raid. Ivan quickly develops a reputation as a Kingston criminal, and when his single The Harder They Come is finally released, it fuels his bad-boy notoriety. In the film`s tragic conclusion, Ivan is killed in a shoot-out before his musical talent is fully recognized. This popular 1973 film directed by Perry Henzel has become a cult classic and was an important factor in bringing reggae music to the fore. The movie served as a device for promoting Cliff`s album and bringing him visibility as a primary Jamaican artist, on par with Bob Marley.NR"
