directed by Eric Styles. When a mysterious river monster in China
attacks and kills several people, scientist Travis Preston (Adkins)
travels out to investigate. When he arrives in the small fishing
village he discovers, to his dismay, notorious hunter Harker

intends to kill it. Who will get there first?
Three classic films starring comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver
Hardy. In 'The Dancing Masters' (1943), Stan (Laurel) and Ollie
(Hardy) are owners of a dance school, but are evicted for
non-payment of rent. To raise money, Ollie tries an insurance scam
which involves inflicting injuries on Stan, but the inept pair soon
find themselves mixed up with local gangsters. Watch out for
appearances by long-running Marx Brothers' foil Margaret Dumont and
a youthful Robert Mitchum. In 'A-haunting We Will Go' (1942),
Laurel and Hardy unknowingly offer to help a bunch of crooks
smuggle a wanted man past the police in a coffin. Unfortunately,
the casket gets mixed up with one used by a stage musician, leading
to a comic chase. Finally, in 'The Bullfighters' (1945), Stan and
Ollie are two detectives looking for a female criminal in Mexico.
Stan gets mistaken for a famous matador and is forced to show his
prowess in the bullring.
A Legend Reborn The world's most infamous hunter, Nikolas Rokoff,
is sent into the jungle to steal a rare prize from Tarzan's camp.
But Tarzan and his friends Jane and Robbie will stop at nothing to
track him down-crossing the wild rainforest and hostile African
savannah on a daring rescue mission. At the same time, Jane tries
to learn more about Tarzan's past, and must decide whether
reuniting him with his lost family is the right thing to do. And
Robbie is torn by a plan that would keep the secrets of his own
past safe, but might get rid of Tarzan for good. Lured to the city,
Tarzan is forced to confront his greatest enemy. But time is
running out-and no one can be trusted. "I fell in love with Edgar
Rice Burroughs' Tarzan when I was 11 years old, and was jealous
when he married that silly Jane. I would have been even more
jealous of the Jane in Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy. She is not
silly at all And what a stroke of brilliance to transform Tarzan
into an eco-warrior. The Lord of the Jungle is with us still."
