Christopher Lloyd, Larry Miller, Shelley Duvall, Terry "Hulk" Hogan - Director: Burt Kennedy Charlie Wilcox (Christopher Lloyd) is an average, middle-aged guy with a loving wife and two kids, a humdrum job, and a mean boss. Shep Ramsey (Hulk Hogan) is an intergalactic hero who's on a mission hunting down a power-mad general (William Ball) out to control the universe. The two team up to save the universe in SUBURBAN COMMANDO.
Midway between planets, Shep's ship breaks down. As he waits for its repair, he rents a room in Charlie's house and experiences the everyday trivialities of suburbia. When two miscreant bounty hunters roll (Roy Dotrice and Dennis Burkley) into town and threaten peaceful suburban life, Shep convinces Charlie to help him defeat the evil General Suitor.
SUBURBAN COMMANDO, director Burt Kennedy's first foray into 1990s action-comedy, is a fantastic film for the entire family. A John Wayne for the new millennium, Hulk Hogan is absolutely lovable. His charisma makes Schwarzenegger and Sly Stalone look like bricks in the oven as SUBURBAN COMMANDO satirizes and runs circles around other blockbuster films like TERMINATOR and FIRST BLOOD. Burt Kennedy practically wrote the book on sappy and gut-wrenching Westerns (WAR WAGON, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF, ROUNDERS), only he could pull off a script like this and he does so wonderfully.

Starring Lenny Henry, who has appeared in many groundbreaking British comedy productions since the 1980s, CHEF! sees him playing an overbearing head chef, Gareth Blackstock, who works in the kitchen of a posh restaurant called Le Chateau Anglais. Grappling with his staff whose collective enthusiasm for the job wanes with every passing second, Gareth's attempts to motivate his workers and keep the restaurant's reputation afloat result in some hilarious scenes. The BBC has a well-deserved reputation for producing timeless comedy classics, and they've done it again with CHEF! The first three seasons of the show are collected here.
Meet Britain's finest — and most ill-tempered — chef: Gareth Blackstock (Lenny Henry), of the prestigious Le Chateau Anglais restaurant. Each meal is a masterpiece. Just don't ask for salt. ...

After a decade in abeyance, the courtly cannibal, Hannibal Lecter, returns to the screen, again played by Anthony Hopkins, under the direction of Ridley Scott. When F.B.I. Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) is blamed for a botched drug bust, her boss Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) makes a media circus of her humiliation, which catches the attention of Lecter. Now a hardened veteran, she begins receiving letters from the twisted genius, who remains obsessed with her. Yet she's not the only one interested in drawing out the psychopath, now lecturing on the Renaissance in Florence. Italian detective Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini) hopes to impress his young wife by nailing the reward for his capture, and wealthy pedophile Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) is eager to take revenge against the cannibal for leaving him with a hideously deformed face. But they're no match for Hannibal's coyly satanic ubiquity, which bewilders his quickly narcotized foes before he administers a punishment sufficiently grotesque to suit his sense of amusement.The odious Krendler, in particular, learns to use his gray matter for, perhaps, the first time in his life. However, all is prologue to his fated rendezvous with Clarice. A banquet for the splatterati, reveling as it does in gore and dismemberment, ...

The first time the audience sees Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) in the early 1980s, he seems far from a model politician. Surrounded by strippers, a Playboy Playmate, and cocaine, the naked congressman lies in a hot tub at a party. Despite the distractions, the TV news catches Charlie's attention as Dan Rather reports from a war-torn Afghanistan. As Soviets invade the country, the Afghans lack the money and technology to defend themselves. Enter Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), a wealthy Texan who champions the cause of Afghanistan and, by extension in the Cold War, America. Together with CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Charlie begins a secret war where he must unite Israel, Pakistan, Egypt, and America to defeat the Soviets.
Just as director Mike Nichols brought a sense of fun to what should have been dour proceedings in films such as THE GRADUATE and CLOSER, this comedy about the largest covert war to date never feels like a history lesson. Writer Aaron Sorkin's dialogue is as sharp as fans have come to expect, and it's delivered with impressive verve from the film's trio of Oscar winners. Hoffman is famous for transforming into various characters, and he's remarkable, but it's Hanks's turn that's the most surprising. Outwardly, Charlie could resemble many of Hanks's previous roles, but the actor adds layers to the character and changes without the aid of makeup or prosthetics. Based on a true story as written by George Crile, the script for CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR displays all the trademark wit of Sorkin's writing. As in Sorkin's other work, notably THE WEST WING and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, the characters in CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR display a fierce love of their country. The screenwriter's own politics often rise to the surface, but this smart comedy ...
