It was a brave new experiment designed to give our world a glimpse into unexplored vistas of the universe and never-before see able alien life forms. We shouldn't have looked so closely. In the control room of the National Institute of Science brilliant physicist Dr. Jillian O'Hara attempts to secure her government funding by revealing a new cold-fusion machine. Purportedly it will open a window into alternate universes. Among the handful of attendees' dubious Senator Jackson Crenshaw security office Colonel Sam Synn and Presidential Science Adviser Dr. Karen Fast. But the demonstration goes horribly wrong shaking their foundation as if struck by a quake. Once the dust clears O'Hara knows she can kiss her funding goodbye - as well as their reality. For beyond the door of the Institute now stretches a new otherworldly dimension. Transported to an alternate alien universe the unwitting travellers have a six-hour window to make their journey back home - and with a damaged cold-fusion machine it won't be easy. A more immediate threat comes when they realize they are not alone here. An army of enormous clawed acid-spitting predators are wreaking havoc with the team's sanctuary and turning them one-by-one into alien chow. Forced to fend for themselves across this unknown landscape the last remaining survivors must now use the ingenuity and courage to outwit outplay and outlast the creatures. But even if they stay alive without a working transport they may never make is back home at all. It's the predators versus the humans in Star Gate a hard-core Sci-fi action adventure that takes viewers beyond anywhere they've been before.

King Solomon's Mines had been filmed several times before, but this 1985 adaptation of H Rider Haggard's novel is far and away the most absurdly tongue-in-cheek. Making no disguise of riding Indiana Jones's coattails, the adventure starts fast and grows ever wilder. Richard Chamberlain wears Allan Quatermain's fedora and expression of grim determination. Supposedly concerned with the novel's quest for lost gold, the movie is really an excuse to string together numerous sight gags and low-budget attempts to upstage Raiders of the Lost Ark (hardly surprisingly, it fails). Pursued by a wax-moustachioed and Wagner-obsessed Herbert Lom, Quatermain and a dizzily blonde Sharon Stone escape an avalanche and crocodiles before being boiled in a cauldron with plastic vegetables at the Village of the Upside Down People. Nothing lingers in the memory, though, than the sight of Chamberlain skiing behind a locomotive. Cheap and rudely plagiaristic it may be, but Indy never got to be as (un)intentionally hilarious. On the DVD: King Solomon's Mines has come up exceptionally well on disc in this widescreen print. Sound is in Dolby 2.0 and is a faithful representation of the effort put into the film's sound design. The only extra is the original trailer. --Paul Tonks

Tom And Jerry: Sherlock Holmes

Then he meets a pretty young astrologer called Esther Jones - and his ideas get knocked for six! Created by Roger Marshall (The Avengers, Public Eye, The Sweeney), this lighthearted thriller series became a cult piece of escapism for viewers during its six-week stay on British television and has become a much sought-after series by collectors - largely due to its novel premise of the groovy '70s culture clash between the Thin Blue Line and the Age of Aquarius! In an early role, Anouska Hempel (UFO) stars as Esther, opposite Anton Rodgers (Murder Most English, The Prisoner) as the coolly methodical Detective Inspector Gradley. Michael Gambon, Peter Egan, Joanna David, Ian Ogilvy, Robert Powell and Peter Vaughan are among a host of guest stars also appearing in this popular and memorably quirky series from Thames, originally screened in 1974.

Malcolm could easily come across as a lonely and reclusive misfit.

Living alone in inner Melbourne after the death of his mother, he loses his dream job after he takes a joy ride in his own mini tram (worthy of anything Q could create for Mr. Bond).To help with the cash situation, Malcolm advertises for a lodger. Fresh from a stay at Her Majesty's big house arrives Frank, swiftly followed by his girlfriend Judith. When Frank decides it is time to go robbing and stealing, he can think of no better designer for a getaway car than Malcolm.The winner of 8 AFI (Australian Film Institute) including Best Film , this new release is crammed with a bunch of extras including behind the scenes footage, Malcolm is an utter delight that inFilm Australia called an endearing suburban adventure.
This action-comedy from 1990 makes the critical mistake of trying to mix a potentially suspenseful plot with the kind of humour that Mel Gibson can only get away with in his Lethal Weapon movies. It doesn't work here because the movie's supposed to be a Hitchcockian thriller and Mel's wisecracking--not to mention some implausible plot twists and ridiculous chase scenes--makes it impossible to take any of this movie seriously. It works best as a lightweight vehicle for Gibson and Goldie Hawn, who bring their own established appeal to their roles as old lovers who are reunited under unexpectedly dangerous circumstances. After testifying against some drug-running killers, Mel's been safe under the protection of the FBI's witness relocation program, and Goldie coincidentally enters his life again just as the bad guys are hot on Mel's trail. They join up and go on the run from the villains and ... well, let's just say director John Badham doesn't have any big surprises up his sleeve. Goldie and Mel are enjoyable, as always, but you'd have to be their biggest fan to watch this movie more than once. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
