Collection of all three Mighty Ducks adventures following the fortunes of a very special ice hockey team. In 'The Mighty Ducks Are the Champions' (1993) Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is a luckless yuppie forced to do community service after being caught drink driving. His penance is to train one of the worst ice hockey teams in the world. However, while Gordon tries to whip them into shape, he learns from his new team that winning is not always everything. In 'D2 - The Mighty Ducks' (1994), the action takes place at the Junior Goodwill Games in LA, as Bombay is invited to lead Team USA to victory over the favourites, Iceland, whilst also having to cope with the distractions of an enveloping media circus. In 'D3 - The Mighty Ducks' (1996), the Ducks are about to begin a scholarship at a prestigious new school, which means a new, no-nonsense coach (Jeffrey Nordling). An icy reception from the school hockey team results in a loss in the Ducks' form. Can they defeat the unbeaten senior team and regain their reputation?

Kevin Smith directs this romantic comedy starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as lifelong platonic friends and roommates Zack and Miri. Facing hard times and a mountain of debt, they seize upon the idea of making a homegrown adult film in order to ease their cashflow problems, and enlist the help of their friends to carry out their plan. The two vow that having sex will not ruin their friendship - but as filming begins, what started out as a straightforward business proposition between friends turns into something much more complicated.
Ben Stiller writes, directs and stars in this film-within-a-film action comedy. During the filming of a big-budget Vietnam epic, the self-absorbed stars signed up to the project behave unreasonably, resulting in a four million dollar explosion going off with no cameras shooting - and rendering the whole project unviable before it has even begun. The director of the film, Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan), decides to leave the spoiled actors in the middle of the jungle - and, in an attempt to salvage some footage from the wreckage of the doomed project, installs hidden cameras to follow their escape. The actors are left with only a map and a scene listing to guide them to the helicopter waiting at the end of the jungle. Along the way they encounter a series of obstacles including land mines and an international heroin-dealing ring. The ensemble cast includes Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey.
The demonic comedy that put acclaimed film director Tim Burton firmly on the map. The Maitlands (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are a happy couple who, when killed in a car crash, return as ghosts to their beloved home to wreak havoc on the ghastly yuppie family who have moved in. Being novices at haunting, their efforts go unnoticed by the house's new inhabitants except Goth daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who doesn't mind one bit. At their wit's end, the ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting demon named 'Beetlejuice' (Michael Keaton) for help.
Another screen adaptation of a Disney theme park ride (the other being 'Pirates of the Caribbean').

When they arrive, however, they come face-to-face with 999 grim, grinning ghosts who are not too keen on sharing their space with mortals. With the help of supernatural psychic Madame Leota (Jennifer Tilly), the family must battle to break the mansion's curse before the clock strikes 13.
Comedy about how a nice midwestern boy's life gets turned upside down when he meets, and falls for, a wildchild. When shy, respectable Charlie (Jesse Bradford) leaves the safety of his midwest roots to study in New York, his carefully planned life takes a major detour when he happens upon, and saves the life of, beautiful, crazy-chick Jordan (Elisha Cuthbert). Although his head's telling him she's not the one, his heart has other plans, and before long he's fallen hopelessly in love - despite himself.
Playwright Martin McDonagh makes an impressive feature film debut as the writer and director of this tragicomedy that is as rich, dark, and complex as Belgian chocolate. The story unfolds over the course of a few days, as Irish hitmen Ken (the appealingly bear-like Brendon Gleeson, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) and Ray (Colin Farrell, MIAMI VICE, in a loose and sympathetic performance) are ordered to lay low in the tourist-laden town of Bruges, Belgium, after a bungled shooting. Their only directive is to stay grounded and wait for further orders from crime boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, gleefully playing evil), but both underlings--nervous and delightfully talky--chafe with the waiting. The childlike Ray is inconsolably agitated and withdrawn, and after a time we learn that his restlessness is borne of something deeper and more disturbing than mere ADD. The more paternal and patient of the duo, Ken, takes the opportunity to enjoy Bruges's lush, buttressed beauty, but he, too, undergoes some soul-searching by the movie's end. The plot snakes cleverly (and at times touchingly) around flashbacks of the murder as the garrulous killers philosophise and interact with locals and tourists, including an acerbic American dwarf, the owner of the B and B, Dutch prostitutes, and a local enchantress. McDonagh's absurdist black humour asserts itself as hilarious dialogue and dreamlike visuals (supported by Carter Burwell's unsettling score) that shift seamlessly from sweet to grotesque, like a Grimm's fairytale come to the big screen. McDonagh's command of the film medium, which he first demonstrated with the Oscar-winning short film SIX SHOOTER, puts to rest any reservations about playwrights-turned-directors. Viewers will enjoy the crackling banter, vibrant performances, and beautiful scenery.

Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, he's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny's puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel's growing frustration. However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality.
Edgy comedian Jason Robinson's wit is as fast as it is unpredictable. Collected here are some of his appearances on Comedy Central, as well as his opening performance for the band Lonestar. While Robinson's brand of humor is original, and his satire biting, he manages to appeal to a broad audience by uncovering those shared experiences that are as universal as they are amusing. |
