It's clear right from the opening episodes of its third series that Farscape has finally developed into a grown-up show. There's a new self-confidence and a new maturity here that's entirely welcome after the often wildly erratic tone of the second series. The production design and high-quality effects work remain true to the show's original quirky style, although both the look and the more adult-themed scripts have become progressively darker. Season 3 is the year when the Wormhole story arc takes precedence, as the interactions between John Crichton and his nemesis Scorpius become ever more complicated (involving various different clones, real or "neural", of both antagonists). It's also the year that some major characters die, new ones are introduced and Crichton (well, one version of him anyway) and Aeryn finally consummate their relationship. Moya's crew endure a vertiginous emotional roller-coaster ride when powerful issues of love, loyalty and sacrifice loom large. They must also face their sternest challenge yet as the series' biggest story arc reaches an explosive climax aboard Scorpius' Command Carrier. Anyone who has not followed Farscape extremely closely from the very beginning of Series 1 will be utterly baffled by the convoluted plotting and complex character interactions. But for fans, this is the show's most rewarding year. --Mark Walker

Toy Story 1 John Lasseter's Toy Story poses the universal and magical question of what do toys do when they are not being played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he is the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar "For the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film". In other words, the movie is great. Toy Story 2 Like the handful of other great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out that Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 1960s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story.Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living for forever. Toy Story 2 was deservedly a huge box-office success. --Doug Thomas
The obsessive desire of a rancher to bring down the powerful man who robbed him of his name and his land sends him and four confederates along a desperate headlong course from which there is no turning back.
Winds Of The Wasteland: The boss of a stagecoach company competes for government contracts in the days of the Pony Express.

When he really falls in love his father assumes the girl is a gold digger...
Dark Command: John Wayne was at the peak of his box office popularity when he made this rousing western with the acclaimed director Raoul Walsh. Based on a true story Wayne plays Bob Seton an illiterate cowboy from Texas who wins over the people of Lawrence Kansas in the dark days before the outbreak of the American Civil War. Walter Pidgeon co-stars as Will Cantrell a merciless and ambitious ex-school teacher who bands together guerrilla groups and undertakes ruthless raids pillaging the surrounding countryside. While endeavouring to crush Cantrell and his desperados Wayne is also intent on winning the heart of gorgeous Mary McCloud played by Claire Trevor. Tall In The Saddle: There is plenty to enjoy in this fast-moving western with its generous supply of action romance and humour. Wayne is at his rugged and romantic best as he strives to uncover deceit and injustice in wild cattle county. Wayne plays Rocklin a tough ranch foreman who arrives in town to take over a new job. He finds himself entangled in a stormy love triangle a mysterious murder and a second killing for which he has been framed. There are a number of twists in the tale as Rocklin desperately tries to clear his name. Angel And The Badman: Gunslinger Quirt Evans is injured by Penelope Worth and her father Thomas a Quaker family with values and a way of living in contrast to Quirt Evans. Quirt and Penelope are drawn to each other although Quirt has no intention of embracing the Quaker lifestyle. He does however intervene to convince a rancher to restore their water supply even if the family would not have approved of his methods... Evan's rival Laredo Stevens is unimpressed with the new peaceful Quirt Evans whilst local Marshall Wistful McClintock stokes up the trouble between the two men certain he'll get one or the other (the survivor) brought to justice in the end... The Fighting Kentuckian: John Wayne plays a Kentucky rifleman returning from the Napoleonic war of 1812 in this thrilling romantic adventure. He comes to the aid of French refugees in their fight against mercenary land-grabbing criminals. In the process Wayne falls in love with Fleurette the daughter of a French General. The film also stars Oliver Hardy in a rare unaccompanied role as a portly rifleman playing alongside Wayne's ruggedly determined Kentuckian Fighter. A true classic in every sense of the word. The War Wagon: John Wayne teams up with Kirk Douglas in The War Wagon an action-packed western. Wayne plays rancher Taw Jackson a man who's dead set on capturing an iron-clad stagecoach belonging to a cattle baron who stole his fortune and tarnished his good name years before. To pull off the heist Jackson puts together a crew that include an old character a half civilised Indian a young drunk and a cocky gunfighter. Of course they manage the impossible to the tune of half a million dollars in gold bullion and the music of Academy Award winner Dimitri Tiomkin. Rooster Coqburn: Two of the most popular stars in screen history are brought together for the first time in the follow-up to True Grit. The film returns John Wayne to the role of the rapscallion eye-patched whisky-guzzling Deputy Marshall that won him an Academy Award. Katherine Hepburn is prim Eula Goodnight a Bible-thumping missionary who teams up with the gunfighter to avenge the death of her father. While in pursuit of the outlaws a warm rapport develops between the rough-and-tumble lawman and the flinty Reverend's daughter.
An international co-production of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Australia's Channel 9 and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape is genre television at its most ambitious, inspired both by the cult appeal of Babylon 5 and the continuing success of the Star Trek franchise. Making extensive use of CGI, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry, Farscape takes a visual leap beyond previous shows. Admittedly, the basic premise may be borrowed from Buck Rogers (American astronaut catapulted to far-flung galaxy populated by strange aliens), while the crew have something of Blake's 7 about them (a motley bunch of escaped convicts pursued by a relentless foe), and ideas like the living ship are borrowed from Babylon 5, but the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it look and feel completely original. The production design is all bio-mechanical curves and the script never takes itself too seriously (fart jokes and double-entendres pop up when you least expect them). It must have been expensive to make, but it certainly looks (and sounds in Dolby Digital 5.1) like every penny made it to the screen. In true Buck Rogers style, Ben Browder plays leading man John Crichton as an all-American astronaut, although with a more believable sense of bewilderment; the supporting cast is a mixture of Australian and British actors, mostly disguised under heavy make-up.In this second box set there are five episodes spread across two discs. Although the generic Star Trek-style storylines seem a little over-familiar, the witty and fast-paced scripts help to keep things fresh. In "Exodus from Genesis" the crew of Moya are invaded by space cockroaches, who, in a suprising twist then help them fend off the Peacekeepers. "Thank God it's Friday Again" shows D'Argo finding happiness in a hippy commune where all is not what it seems; Crichton has a Matrix-style worm inserted in his navel before Rygel's bodily functions prove to be instrumental in rescuing the crew. Crichton finds love with the "PK Tech Girl", much to the consternation of Aeryn Sun, who goes into full Lt. Ripley mode and spends the episode running around with a pulse rifle under flickering strobe lighting. In "That Old Black Magic", a malevolent magician forces a confrontation between Crichton and his nemesis, Crais; Zhaan must revive her bad old ways in order to save the day. "DNA Mad Scientist" is the most original episode, with a neat twist on the Frankenstein scenario thanks to the splendid villain, Namtar; a distinctly unpleasant side to some of the characters is revealed as they bargain body parts in exchange for a map home. On the DVD: Because the first disc contains three episodes instead of the usual two, special features are limited to a trailer and some conceptual art. The second disc also has a profile of Zhaan. --Mark Walker
