Remastered version of Brad Bird's animated classic featuring two new scenes. In 1957, a gigantic iron man crash lands from outer space in Rockwell, Maine. After reassembling itself, the giant is discovered by nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes, who helps it to conceal itself while feeding on scrapyard cars. Hogarth is assisted by beatnik Dean McCoppin, unaware that government agent Kent Mansley is already on the trail of what he regards as an 'alien invader'.
Sidney Lumet's 1973 crime drama Serpico remains one of the most influential cop movies - alongside Al Pacino's nuanced performance in a disturbing portrait of corruption and morality in the city that never sleeps. A plainclothes street patrolman, Frank Serpico (Pacino) might be the best cop in New York, but he is unwilling to play dirty and give into police corruption of drugs, violence, and kickbacks his colleagues indulge in every day. When he decides to expose those around him, Frank finds himself a target, not just to the city's criminals, but his own peers. Shot on location and based on real events, Serpico captures the grit of New York in a way no film has rivalled, not just for its toned down realism, but also the bleakness Lumet portrays within his hometown city with brutal cynicism with frank immediacy.
Box set containing all four 'Critters' titles. In 'Critters' (1986), eight hungry aliens have escaped from a prison planet and land near a small town in Kansas. They take over the Brown household, eat the goldfish and then go after the human occupants. Outer space bounty hunters arrive on Earth to subdue the critters. 'Critters 2' (1988) is set two years after the first set of 'critters' wrought havoc in a small Kansas town. Now another batch are hatching. In 'Critters 3' (1991), the flesh-eating critters are back, moving up in the world by way of the elevator shaft in an apartment building. As usual they're hungry and the tenants are on the menu. Finally, in 'Critters 4' (1991), the critters have almost all been cleared off the planet Earth. Only two critter eggs remain and these have been ordered to be blasted off into space by the Intergalactic Council. But the pod carrying them is unwittingly picked up by a space salvage crew.

After being captured by the rebels, he is left in the desert to die, but is rescued by local bushmen. He adopts their lifestyle and launches a revenge attack against his former employers.
