INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "This extraordinary book is not
only a chronicle of Ron's and Clint's early careers and their wild
adventures, but also a primer on so many topics-how an actor
prepares, how to survive as a kid working in Hollywood, and how to
be the best parents in the world! The Boys will surprise every
reader with its humanity." - Tom Hanks "I have read dozens of
Hollywood memoirs. But The Boys stands alone. A delightful, warm
and fascinating story of a good life in show business." - Malcolm
Gladwell Happy Days, The Andy Griffith Show, Gentle Ben-these shows
captivated millions of TV viewers in the '60s and '70s. Join
award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and audience-favorite actor
Clint Howard as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family
story of navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors.
"What was it like to grow up on TV?" Ron Howard has been asked this
question throughout his adult life. in The Boys, he and his younger
brother, Clint, examine their childhoods in detail for the first
time. For Ron, playing Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie
Cunningham on Happy Days offered fame, joy, and opportunity-but
also invited stress and bullying. For Clint, a fast start on such
programs as Gentle Ben and Star Trek petered out in adolescence,
with some tough consequences and lessons. With the perspective of
time and success-Ron as a filmmaker, producer, and Hollywood
A-lister, Clint as a busy character actor-the Howard brothers delve
deep into an upbringing that seemed normal to them yet was anything
but. Their Midwestern parents, Rance and Jean, moved to California
to pursue their own showbiz dreams. But it was their young sons who
found steady employment as actors. Rance put aside his ego and
ambition to become Ron and Clint's teacher, sage, and moral
compass. Jean became their loving protector-sometimes
over-protector-from the snares and traps of Hollywood. By turns
confessional, nostalgic, heartwarming, and harrowing, THE BOYS is a
dual narrative that lifts the lid on the Howard brothers' closely
held lives. It's the journey of a tight four-person family unit
that held fast in an unforgiving business and of two brothers who
survived "child-actor syndrome" to become fulfilled adults.

The first five films in the comedy horror series. In 'Leprechaun'
(1993), J.D. Reding (John Sanderford) and her daughter Tory
(Jennifer Aniston) take a break at a summer house which is
unfortunately located on the site of an evil leprechaun's (Warwick
Davis) stolen gold, and he will stop at nothing to get it back.
J.D., Tory and local boys Nathan (Ken Olandt), Alex (Robert Hy
Gorman) and Ozzie (Mark Holton) team up to prevent the leprechaun's
trail of magic and murder as he tries to drive them away from his
treasure. In 'Leprechaun 2' (1994), the nasty little Irishman
returns on his 1000th birthday. He gets to choose a bride by making
her sneeze three times. Unfortunately the bride he chooses turns
out to be the daughter of his slave. In 'Leprechaun 3' (1995), when
college student Scott (John Gatins) gives a beautiful magician's
assistant a lift to Las Vegas, he can't resist stopping off at a
casino. Pretty soon he's lost all of his money and, in order to win
it back, decides to pawn his Rolex watch. While at the pawn shop,
he finds one of the leprechaun's (Davis) gold shillings and is
granted a wish. Thanks to the lucky coin, Scott goes on a winning
streak, but the leprechaun has realised his coin has gone missing
and is willing to kill to get it back. In 'Leprechaun 4' (1996), in
his quest to rule the universe, the leprechaun (Davis) takes to
outer space, where he kidnaps an alien princess and plans to marry
her. However, when a platoon of space marines are sent to rescue
the princess, the leprechaun discovers a sinister half-human,
half-computer doctor who wants to use the princess's DNA to restore
his body to its former self. Soon the scene is set for a showdown
between the leprechaun, the marines, and a gigantic blood-sucking
monster, while their spaceship's timer is counting down to
self-destruction. Finally, in 'Leprechaun 5' (2000), three young
rap artists are in need of money to go to Las Vegas and enter a
contest. But when they get caught up in stealing a medallion from a
statue, it transforms into the leprechaun (Davis), who goes on a
killing spree looking for his missing gold.
Double bill featuring two popular Disney movies. In 'The Jungle
Book' (1967), after being abandoned as a child, young Mowgli
(voiced by Bruce Reitherman) is brought up in the jungle by wolves.
However, when the news arrives that murderous, man-hating tiger
Shere Khan (George Sanders) has returned, Mowgli's friends Bagheera
(Sebastian Cabot) and Baloo (Phil Harris) set out to return the
reluctant mancub to the humans' village. Their task is not made any
easier when Mowgli is kidnapped at the behest of monkey ruler King
Louie (Louis Prima), who wishes to learn the secret of man's power
- fire! Disney Studios' nineteenth animated feature was the last to
be overseen by founder Walt before his death, and won an Academy
Award nomination for the song 'Bare Necessities'. 'The Jungle Book
2' (2003) follows Mowgli (voiced by Haley Joel Osment) as he adapts
to life with humans, having followed the girl, Shanti, he saw
collecting water at the end of the first film. Finding it hard to
live among humans all the time he decides to visit his old friend
Baloo (John Goodman) but Shere Khan gets wind of this and he still
has an old score to settle.
