- Summary: Sent to eliminate a gun running camp
in Central America, United States Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) and his commandos get more than they bargained
for when they cross paths with a mysterious assassin. As members
of their unit begin to disappear, Dutch, Dillon (Carl Weathers),
Blain (Jesse Ventura) conclude that whatever is hunting them is
not of this earth. Every attempt at a tactical defense is a defeated
for Dutch and company and it is only in the end stretch of their
race to safety that their suspicions are confirmed and they encounter
the alien nimrod face to face. A summer box office smash, 1987’s
PREDATOR re-ignited an old trend of movies depicting aliens invading
earth (it began decades earlier with films like WAR OF THE WORLDS

the "invisible" Predator. Furthermore, the special effects
which are both stunning subtle, never boisterous, make PREDATOR
a contemporary sci-fi even amongst today’s techno thrillers.

- DVD Release Date: August 17, 2004
- Summary: A top FBI profiler, Special Agent
Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) doesn’t rely on traditional
crime-solving techniques to unravel the mysteries of a murderous
mind. Her intuitive, unconventional approach often makes the crucial
difference between catching a killer and sending a dead-end case
to the cold file. When Montreal detectives handling a local homicide
investigation reluctantly ask for an outsider’s help to
get inside the head of a cunning serial killer, Agent Scott joins
the case. With meticulous insight, she theorizes that the chameleon-like
killer is “life-jacking” – assuming the lives
and identities of his victims. As the pressure mounts to catch
the elusive murderer, Agent Scott’s unorthodox methods alienate
her from a territorial police team that feels threatened by her
uncanny abilities. Her seemingly cold demeanor belies an unparalleled
passion for her work, and she’s at her best when she’s
working alone. But when an unexpected attraction sparks a complicated
romantic entanglement, the consummate specialist begins to doubt
her finely-honed instincts. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no
one she can trust, Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted
and terrifying journey, surrounded by suspects in a case that
has become chillingly personal.

Connie and Carla, two struggling Chicago dinner theater performers
who accidentally witness a mafia hit... and who subsequently hit
the road, running for their lives. Assuming the killers will never
look for them in a place devoid of culture, the pair head to Los
Angeles, where they assume new identities and find their middling
talent at song and dance perfectly suited to new careers - as
drag queens. Much to their surprise, they inadvertently become
the toast of the cabaret circuit. As their ruse becomes increasingly
difficult to maintain, they discover that it is indeed lonely
at the top, especially after Connie meets Jeff (Duchovny), a guy
she'd really like to be a real girl with. With the mafia zeroing
in and the line separating their onstage/offstage personas blurring
beyond the point of recognition, Connie and Carla soon discover
the power of not compromising to pursue your dreams, fighting
the good fight, and never, never underestimating the transformative
power of cosmetics.
