When a cockroach-spread plague threatens to decimate the child population of New York City, evolutionary biologist Susan Tyler and her research associates rig up a species of "Judas" bugs and introduce them into the environment, where they will "mimic" the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. So far so good...until the bugs keep on evolving and learn to mimic their next prey--humans. Noirish, dazzling production work ensconces reliably creepy bug-related thrills. Based on the short story by Donald A. Wolheim.

Steven Soderbergh rewrote much of the script for MIMIC but was uncredited.

Mimic Reviews:

"...Ominous....The bugs move with scary agility, and the sounds are highly evocative..." -- Janet Maslin, New York Times

"...Del Toro is an expert at the ominous, using a striking visual sense to drench his films with an atmosphere suffocatingly thick with undefined menace..." -- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"...Stylishly directed by Guillermo Del Toro, whose visual sense adds a certain texture that makes everything scarier and more effective..."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

4 stars IF you are scared of Roaches, do not see this movie!!!!!!!!!
well this movie which also came out in 1997 is another sci-fi horror coinciding witht eh release of the relic and let me tell you this movie si really, really scary. The Roaches are so damn scary, 7 years later it still gives me goose bumps just seeing them move. Del Torro is a genius. This movie stars the beautiful Mira Sorvino when she was really skinny. She got thicker over the years especially when you see her movie with Val Kilmer when he was a blind man, and also the movie summer of sam. When those movies came out, she was one of the other rare white woman with a big tush that I so love. But in this movie she is mainly skin and bones though one could say, she was a lot younger than she is now and therefore was a lot flatter.......But man this movie is so damn scary from the parts in the train station to the damn roaches mimicking US. It just goes to show what can possible happen these days though we would never see nothing like this in our lifetime, you just never know what can take over this earth whether it;s aliens, insects, whatever it can be.......Warning, for those with phobeas with roaches should steer clear this movie, you probably will not feel very good after seeing it....

It follows Marvin, a young man whose various respiratory illnesses have forced him to live in a protected plastic encasing. Saddled with being known as the "bubble boy" as well as with a dysfunctional family, Marvin retreats to his own corner of the world, which is whatever he can see out of his bedroom window. However, when the flesh hungry mutated cockroaches from the first two films invade the neighborhood, Marvin must band together with his family to survive.

DVD $31.25  5 stars
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader. KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshirô Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also features the final screen appearance of longtime Kurosawa actor, Takashi Shimura. In order to help the film get an international release, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas served as executive producers. Closed Captioned; English Subtitles; Special Edition

Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re SISTER ACT 2: BACK IN THE HABIT is the sequel to the surprise smash hit SISTER ACT. Whoopi Goldberg returns as Deloris Van Cartier, who, at the film's opening, has become a successful Vegas headliner, belting out undeniably cheesy medleys of R&B hits. The nuns she shielded her identity from in the first film arrive to beg her to help them revitalize their San Francisco Catholic school. Deloris is persuaded to put her Sister Mary Clarence costume back on and work with a bunch of undisciplined street kids as the school's music teacher.
