Abraham Benrubi, Craig Sheffer, Halle Berry, James Caan, Joey Lauren Adams, Kristy Swanson, Omar Epps - Director: David S. Ward Joe Kane has everything: good looks, a spot on a winning college football team and a shot at the Heisman Trophy. He also has a severe alcohol problem and a wild streak that jeopardizes his future in the game. Meanwhile, Joe's friend Darnell Jefferson is struggling with classes and wants a place on the first string team, as well as another player's girlfriend.
"The Program" covers the dangerous practices -- steroid abuse, alcoholism, payoffs and academic plagerism -- that influence college athletes. As his players battle their demons off the field, Coach Winters attempts to keep his team on track until the final game. A coach struggles to keep his college team focused on a bowl berth despite turbulent personal challenges that threaten to unravel the team. Original aspect ratio of 1.85:1.
The Walt Disney Company deleted a scene from this film where the football players laid on a busy highway to prove their toughness, after several young men were injured or killed imitating the stunt. These real-life incidents produced a flurry of negative publicity relating to the more generalized debate of the effect of violent images on society. Lost in the firestorm were reports that the stunt was practiced by teens across the country before the release of the film.

The third installment in John Singleton's trilogy about South Central Los Angeles, HIGHER LEARNING examines mid-1990s university politics from racial, sexual, and economic standpoints. At fictional Columbus University (where a statue of the explorer stands witness to the dominant culture's supremacy), three freshman arrive to find a campus ready to explode. Malik (Omar Epps) wavers among the influences of revolution-preaching super-senior Fudge (Ice Cube), no-excuses Professor Phipps (Laurence Fishburne), and his motivated girlfriend Deja (Tyra Banks). Kristen (Kristy Swanson), another neophyte, is thrown into sexual confusion when she meets a charismatic lesbian, while the socially inept Remy (Michael Rapaport) can ...

Two drive-in classics from the 1950s. VIOLENT YEARS: Another cinematic atrocity from a screenplay by Ed (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) Wood. Leather-jacketed devil-dolls form a girl gang, rape rich guys, rob gas stations, and even engage in heavy petting. A wonderful final line magnificently sums up the entire movie. GIRL GANG: These ladies like nothing better than petting and pot, except maybe feeding their heroin addictions and causing general mayhem. The joyriding turns tragic, however, when Wanda gets shot during a holdup gone so, so wrong.
