When Martians arrive on planet Earth, American President James Dale
(Jack Nicholson) is persuaded to extend the hand of friendship. One
of the President's advisers, Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan), has
been studying the aliens, and is keen to make peaceful contact.
However, the Martians gleefully fry their greeting party from
Earth, and launch an all-out attack on the planet. Various
celebrity faces including Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito and Martin
Short appear briefly before being zapped by the Martian baddies in
director Tim Burton's quirky spoof of alien invasion movies.
Two blaxploitation horror movies. In 'Blacula' (1972), two
centuries after having a curse placed on him by Count Dracula in
Transylvania, African Prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) is
transported to Los Angeles where he goes on a killer rampage. While
he discovers a woman (Vonetta McGee) he believes to be the
reincarnation of his late wife, Mamuwalde already has a
vampire-hunting doctor (Thalmus Rasulala) on his trail. In 'Scream
Blacula Scream' (1973), after his undoing in 'Blacula', Mamuwalde
(Marshall) returns from the dead in modern-day Los Angeles. He soon
comes up against a voodoo priestess (Pam Grier).

Collection of five action features starring Steven Seagal. In
'Under Siege' (1992) a battleship is captured by a disgruntled CIA
man and his small private army, who pose as a rock band. The only
one who can save the vessel, which has nuclear capability, is Casey
Ryback (Seagal), the ship's cook and former Navy SEAL. In 'Under
Siege 2 - Dark Territory' (1995) a passenger train has been
hijacked by electronics expert Travis Dane (Eric Bogosian) and
turned into an untracable command centre for a weapons satellite.
He plans to blow up Washington DC - for one billion dollars - and
it falls to Ryback to stop him. In 'Hard to Kill' (1990) Los
Angeles police officer Mason Storm (Seagal) wakes from a lengthy
coma and swears revenge on the crooked cops, vicious hoodlums and
the corrupt senator who murdered his wife and child and put him to
sleep for seven years. In 'Nico - Above the Law' (1988) martial
arts detective Nico Toscani (Seagal) discovers that a group of drug
barons are about to bring chaos to the streets of Chicago. With the
help of his partner (Pam Grier) he soon discovers that the drugs
cartel is run by Zagon (Henry Silva), a CIA official whom Nico had
worked with during the Vietnam War. In 'Executive Decision' (1996)
Pentagon defence analyst Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell) has to
rescue 400 hostages from a hijacked 747 aircraft which is stacked
full of dangerous chemical weapons and heading straight for
Washington DC. Since the terrorists real objective is the
destruction of the US capital, Grant realises that attempts at
negotiation will be fruitless and consequently resolves to board
the 747 himself. But the mission, led by Special Operations expert
Austin Travis (Seagal), looks doomed from the start when the
experimental aircraft they are using to board the plane goes wildly
out of control during the docking procedure.
Film icon Pam Grier finally pulls back the curtain on her turbulent
and fascinating life . . .
FOXY
Some may know her as hot, gutsy, gun-totin' Foxy Brown, Friday
Foster, Coffy, and Jackie Brown. Others may know her from her role
as Kit Porter on "The L Word." But that only defines one part of
the legend that is Pam Grier.
Foxy is Pam's testimony of her life, past and present. In it, she
reveals her relationships with Richard Pryor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
and Freddie Prinze Sr., among others. She unveils her experiences
as a backup singer and a blaxploitation star. In particularly
candid and shocking chapters, she shares-for the first time-her
view of those films and the persecution that blacks, especially
women, needed to endure to make a name for themselves . . .
including how it felt to be labeled one of the most beautiful women
alive, yet not be permitted to try on clothes in a department store
because of the color of her skin. And in words sure to inspire
many, she tells the story of her ongoing battle with cancer.
From her disappointments to her triumphs, nothing is held back.
With FOXY, Pam wishes to impart life lessons to her readers-and
hopes to touch their hearts.
