Chevy Chase, Dianne Wiest, Jack Palance, Robert Davi - Dir:Michael Ritchie When a grizzled cop moves into a family's home to stake out some hardened criminals next door, he gets more help than he bargained for from the inept man of the house.
Director Michael Ritchie teams up once again with FLETCH star Chevy Chase for this lighthearted comedy about a police officer who gets in over his head after he's forced to move in with a suburban family. When tough veteran cop Jake Stone (Jack Palance) and his rookie partner, Tony Moore (David Barry Gray), arrive at the doorstep of the mildly dysfunctional Robbersons in order to stake out a criminal living next door, he has no idea what he's getting into. Norman Robberson (Chase) is a bumbling idiot who has been reared on classic cop shows; his wife, Helen (Dianne Wiest), is a well-intentioned mom who's beginning to lose her positive outlook; and their three children are overwhelmingly excited by the arrival of the policemen--especially Cindy (Fay Masterson), who develops a severe crush on Moore. When Osborn (Robert Davi), the neighbor in question, begins to smell something afoul at the Robbersons, Norman finally gets the chance to act out his favorite cop show clichés and aid in the criminal's apprehension. Along the way, the stakeout provides Jake with the close family ties he's been missing in his life. Ritchie's film is a sweet comedy that the whole family can enjoy.
Theatrical release: April 15, 1994.
Cops & Robbersons Reviews: "...Stone offers Palance the opportunity to plumb deep inside his hard-boiled persona and extract a rich vein of humor and pathos..."
-- Leonard Klady, Variety "...Chase consistently underplays, and gains immeasurably from doing so....Palance has emerged in recent years as a hilarious comedian..."

| | Built To Spill Ancient Melodies Of The Future CD (2001)
Cops & Robbersons video
$10.45
Built To Spill abandoned any strictly lo-fi leanings long before ANCIENT MELODIES OF THE FUTURE, the band's fifth full-length release, but it is with this album that the trio's near-perfect balance of indie- (almost math-) rock and surprisingly irresistible pop hooks hits stride for a full, satisfying LP. ANCIENT MELODIES OF THE FUTURE retains the line-up of Doug Martsch, bassist Brett Nelson, and drummer Scott Piouf for a third go around, and the consistency has paid off for the most level album of their career. From tracks like the insistent opening track "Strange" to the meanderingly beautiful "The Weather," the album flat mesmerizes.
People forget that these Idahoans would be just as at home on classic rock radio as on the college playlists they occupied throughout the '90s. Built To Spill draws from the subtly complex Eastern sounds ...

Two average guys who are mistaken for World Trade Organization representatives accept invitations to attend international meetings and make TV appearances on behalf of the U.S. They are the Yes Men, part of a group of comedians and activists who organize harmless pranks to spark political debate. Here, two members of the group, Andy and Mike, embark on several adventures, all of which are caught on film with utter hilarity, and which show viewers some disturbing realities. The film starts when one of the Yes Men's projects, a fake web site called GATT.org that imitates the WTO site, is taken to be real thing. Though the Yes Men's site parodies the concepts of the WTO in an attempt to voice their opposition to its policies, this detail goes overlooked by certain unscrupulous international organizers. For example, the Yes Men respond with glee to an invitation to attend a textile conference in Finland. They ...

Cops & Robbersons review
$11.25
Comedy Central's cult-favorite COPS-spoof series, RENO 911! comes to the big screen with RENO 911!: MIAMI. The film follows members of the Reno P.D. as they desert the bright flashing lights of the biggest little city in the world for sand and surf and an invitation to the annual police officers' convention. It will come as no surprise to regular RENO-watchers that the incompetent police force--led by the earnest, hot-pants-wearing Lt. Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon)--hit an administrative snag, and aren't allowed into the convention. But the crew decides to make the most of their multi-hour bus trip to Florida, until an emergency call to duty cuts their impromptu vacation short: they are expected to keep the peace in Miami while the rest of the nation's police forces are quarantined due to a biochemical warfare attack on the convention center. Finding themselves way out of their league in a high-tech police station and Mustang patrol cars, the Reno cops ineptly stumble through Miami, leaving destruction and hilarity in their wake.
