Classic creature comedy horror directed by Joe Dante and produced
by Steven Spielberg. When Billy Peltzer (Zach Gilligan) is given
the cute and friendly little Mogwai, Gizmo (voiced by Howie
Mandel), for Christmas, he is told never to expose it to bright
light, get it wet or ever feed it after midnight. But one night
when a glass of water is accidentally spilled over little Gizmo,
Billy soon finds out why he was told to follow this advice as Gizmo
begins to convulse, producing five new Mogwai. As Billy and his
science teacher, Mr. Hanson (Glynn Turman), then seek to find out
more about the creatures, a series of events lead to the escape of
a number of them; and due to their heightened intelligence they
know exactly how to replicate themselves. Soon after, the town is
overrun by a new breed of Mogwai - the 'Gremlins' - who are
menacing little reptilian creatures, and far from friendly.
The crew of the Starship Enterprise come out of retirement when
Earth is threatened by a massive energy field. Captain Kirk
(William Shatner), now an Admiral, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Bones
(DeForest Kelley), and the rest of the television regulars are all
on board for what proved to be the first of a series of movie
adventures.
Director Joe Dante merges live-action film with animation for this
action-packed Looney Tunes adventure. Daffy Duck (voiced by Joe
Alaskey), tired of being upstaged by his rival character Bugs Bunny
(also voiced by Alaskey), quits Hollywood in the company of fired
studio stuntman D.J. Drake (Brendan Fraser). When the pair discover
that Drake's father, Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton), a movie actor
best known for his roles as Bond-style secret agents, really IS a
secret agent, and has been kidnapped by the dreaded Mr Chairman
(Steve Martin), they set out to rescue him. Damian knows the secret
hiding place of the legendary Blue Monkey Diamond, and Mr Chairman
will do whatever it takes to get his hands on it. Meanwhile, Daffy
and Drake are being pursued across the world by Bugs Bunny and
Warner's Head of Comedy, Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman), who have
realised how essential Daffy is to their successful cartoon-making
and want to lure him back to the studio. From Hollywood to Paris,
Las Vegas to the African jungle, the mis-matched gang fall into all
kinds of madcap adventures.
Fifth big screen outing for the crew of the starship Enterprise.
Kirk (William Shatner, who also directs and co-scripts), McCoy and
Spock's shore leave is cut short when the latter's half-brother -
Vulcan renegade Sybok - takes several important ambassadors hostage
on the planet Nimbus. They race to the rescue, unaware that the
kidnap is all part of Sybok's ploy to hijack the Enterprise and set
out on a quest to discover the Supreme Being - God.
Four of the big-screen 'Star Trek' spin-offs featuring the crew of
'The Next Generation'. In 'Generations' (1994), Captain James T
Kirk (William Shatner) reluctantly comes out of retirement to
attend the launch of the 'Enterprise B'. When the ship attempts to
rescue two cargo ships trapped in a strange electrical field, part
of its structure is shorn away - taking Kirk with it. 78 years
later, 'Enterprise D' captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is
mourning the deaths of his brother and nephew when he is called to
investigate an attack on the Amagosa Observatory. The culprits turn
out to be Picard's old adversaries, renegade Klingons Lursa and
B'Etor, allied with sinister El Aurian scientist Dr Soran (Malcolm
McDowell). Soran was amongst those rescued by the 'Enterprise B',
and is now desperate to return to the energy field - called the
Nexus - which claimed Kirk's life. When Picard himself enters the
Nexus, a historic encounter results. In 'First Contact' (1996),
Captain Jean-Luc Picard, once assimilated by the alien Borg, now
senses that they are about to return. He is proved correct when the
Collective engages the Enterprise E in battle, only to escape
through a temporal vortex into the Earth's past. Picard and his
crew glimpse an alternative Earth which is dominated by the Borg
and, in an attempt to find out how the Borg have altered the
timeline, follow them back to the year 2063, one day before Zefram
Cochran (James Cromwell) made the first warp drive journey. It was
this event that attracted the attention of some passing Vulcans and
established Earth's 'first contact' with alien life. While Riker
(Jonathan Frakes) leads an away team to prevent the Borg from
tampering with the Earth's history, Picard must repel a Borg
invasion of the Enterprise. In 'Insurrection' (1998), a Federation
team are unobtrusively observing life on the remarkable world of
Ba'ku, where 600 peaceful inhabitants enjoy the planet's
youth-preserving qualities. However, forces within the alliance
want to repatriate the population so that the planet's resources
can be exploited more intensively. Captain Jean-Luc Picard leads
his crew in an effort to protect Ba'ku's residents and thereby
honour the Federation's Prime Directive: non-intervention in the
development of other civilisations. 'Nemesis' (2002) is the tenth
instalment in the 'Star Trek' film series. When Picard and the crew
discover a disassembled prototype of their android colleague Data
(Brent Spiner) on a distant planet, they take the parts back to the
Enterprise and attempt to put them back together. Meanwhile, news
arrives that the new Romulan leader Shinzon (Tom Hardy) wants to
restore relations with the United Federation of Planets and Picard
is sent to negotiate. When Picard arrives, he uncovers a shocking
truth about Shinzon's connection to himself, and unearths a
sinister plot to destroy the Earth.
