During the Napoleonic Wars, a handsome French officer, Captain Jacques St. Ives (Jean-Marc Barr -- DANCER IN THE DARK), is captured in battle and brought to a prisoner of war camp in Scotland. Once there, adventure and daring await when he meets and falls in love with a beautiful local woman (Anna Friel -- ROGUE TRADER), befriends the prison camp's British Major (Richard E. Grant -- SPICE WORLD), and discovers his long-lost grandfather living just down the road.

In medieval France, a youthful lawyer named Richard Courtois travels to Abbeville, a strange provincial town where he serves as defense advocate on a number of local cases. When a young child is murdered, the superstitious witch-hunting townspeople accuse a precious family pig, owned by some local gypsies, of committing the crime. Though Courtois is loath to take on such a ridiculous case, a seductive, attractive gypsy woman begs him to reconsider -- offering herself as tender for legal services. But Courtois had better take care, because the longer he remains in Abbeville, the more involved with local politics he becomes.

| | Nicholas Nickleby DVD 20th Century Fox
St. Ives review
$11.45  
Writer-director Douglas McGrath indulges his taste for the classics again, having made his feature film debut with Jane Austen's EMMA (1996), then changing pace with an underrated original comedy COMPANY MAN (2000), and back again with Dickens's classic NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. Common Dickensian themes of poverty, social class, and honor come across clearly in this tale of a 19-year-old country gentlemen (Charlie Hunnam) who is suddenly impoverished when his beloved father dies after losing his fortune. Nicholas, with his mother (Stella Gonet) and sister Kate (Romola Garai), find themselves at the mercy of their rich, loutish uncle Ralph Nickleby (Christopher Plummer) who delights only in their misery. He sends Nicholas away to work as a teacher at Dotheboys Hall, a decrepit boarding school attended by sad, soiled, abused urchins. Meanwhile, Kate's reputation is at stake with uncle Ralph trying to marry her off to a foulmouthed client to whom he owes a debt. With the help of his faithful sidekick Smike (Jamie Bell), Nicholas avenges Kate's honor and conspires with some new friends to bring down horrid uncle Ralph.
Other filmmakers have attempted to show Dickens' timelessness with modern versions of novels, such as Alfonso Cuaron's GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1998) or even Richard Donner's SCROOGED (1988). McGrath provides a period portrait of which Dickens would no doubt approve. The principle strength here is a large ensemble of fine character actors such Jim Broadbent as the delightfully amoral headmaster Wackford Squeers, the deliciously terrifying Juliet Stevenson as Mrs. Squeers and Nathan Lane as the benevolent dreamer Vincent Crummles.
A courageous young man goes on an amazing journey to avenge his family. Stars Jaime Bell, Anne Hathaway, Charlie Hunnam, Nathan Lane.

Catherine Morland is a young woman addicted to gothic romance novels. Her family sends her to live in the decadent society of Bath, where she meets with the unusual Tilney family in their estate, Northanger Abbey. Based on the 1818 novel by Jane Austen.
A tale of intrigue, adventure and romance, this enchanting dramatisation captures the spirit and wit of Austen's classic novel. The setting is eighteenth- century Bath, a society of decadence and deceit, into which Catherine Morland arrives bursting with freshness, integrity and a passion for macabre Gothic novels. In a time when materialism, not love, governs marriage, Catherine's head is full of fantasy and fiction, of maidens being abducted to sinister castles and heroes riding to the rescue on white horses. When romantic Henry Tilney invites her to his ancestral home, Northanger Abbey, a dark mystery starts to unfold that makes her blood run cold.

St. Ives review
$16.19
A classic Mexican comedy starring one film history's most beloved funnymen, Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno. A hilarious romp through slapstick mayhem, this film was actually the first time Cantinflas and comedian Carlos "Don Catarino" Orellana appeared together in a production. Also featured is a young Sara Garcia in one of her earliest roles.
An early and intriguing Cantinflas film for the fact that his character is still in the making, this story tells the tale of Don Boni, who is diagnosed with a deadly disease and decides to spend his last days doing something good. He frees himself from his wife, helps down and out guys, fixes a fight and pays cab fares for strangers. Somewhere along the way he gets drunk, buys a lottery ticket and falls asleep, only to wake up realizing he has won a large sum of money, and learns that the docutor who diagnosed him has been jailed for fraud.

This documentary, produced by Julian Lennon, explores the connection between whales and a tribe. The aborigines he features center their culture--as well as their creation myth--on whales, even though both the tribe and the whales are slowly disappearing. WHALEDREAMERS features narration by Australian actor Jack Thompson (DECEMBER BOYS) and appearances from John Hurt, Pierce Brosnan, and Geoffrey Rush.
Whaledreamers - the title alone evokes hypnotic visions of these most magnificent and ancient creatures. This visually stunning film offers an incredible glimpse into a rarely seen and scarcely understood tribal culture whose entire story of creation revolves around whales and has endured for centuries. The film passionately explores the connection between the subtle elegance of these mothers of the sea and ancient civilizations around the world whose culture and very existence is based on whales. Intertwining incredible underwater footage with ancient legend, this film examines the complex past and the possibly dire future of human civilization.
