In the typical Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer mould(the partnership yielded Top Gun and Days of Thunder, among many other films), this 1995 drama is a combination of one-dimensional but enjoyable performances, lots of high-tech nonsense taking place onscreen, and mechanistic movie-making at its loudest and most seizure-inducing. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington play nuclear submarine officers squaring off over the former's apparent intention to do some unauthorized damage to an enemy. Tony Scott (Top Gun) directed, bringing his lustre and pop commercial sense to go with all that Simpson-Bruckheimer eye candy. --Tom Keogh
Samantha Mackenzie (Katie Holmes) wants what every college freshman desires: to experience life away from home and parents. But it's not going to be easy, because her dad is the President of the United States.
One of the better romantic comedies of the 1990s, this quirky love story stars Kevin Costner as washed-up golf pro, Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, who has the singular misfortune of falling in love with the girlfriend (Rene Russo) of his arch rival (Don Johnson). Although he is inspired to re-ignite his golf career, challenge his opponent in the US Open, and win the affection of the woman of his dreams, McAvoy has just one flaw: he's a show off when he should just focus on playing the game. Reunited with his Bull Durham writer-director Ron Shelton, Costner fits into his Tin Cup role like a favourite pair of shoes and costar Cheech Marin scores a memorable scene-stealing comeback as McAvoy's best buddy, Romeo Posar. Mixing his love of sports with his flair for fresh, comedic dialogue, Shelton takes this enjoyable movie down unexpected detours (although some may find it a bit too long), and his characters are delightfully unpredictable. --Jeff Shannon

H.A.A.R.P.: Holes In Heaven?: High-Frequency Active Aural Research Project or H.A.A.R.P. is a top-secret combined effort of the Air Force and Navy designed ostensibly to influence the weather. Consisting of large fields of high-energy projectors this brainchild of the controversial inventor Nikola Tesla has been associated with everything from the breakdown of the ozone layer to particle beam weapons. H.A.A.R.P. has achieved long-range undersea communications but its clandestine applications are what make it controversial as scientists research the system's potential use as a long-range particle beam weapon with the ability to alter the electrical impulses of the human brain. Narrated by Martin Sheen.

Up for Sale On October 4 1957 the Soviets launch the legendary orbiter Sputnik ushering in the Space Age. In 1998 the Russian Federation launches the first stage of the space station Freedom. While at first glance it seems that little has changed closer scrutiny reveals that billions of American dollars are being funnelled to Russia to secure its participation in the space station partnership. Described by the elite of NASA as a foreign aid project for the Russians the principal purpose of the program may be to abate the mass exodus of Russian rocket scientists to unfriendly nations interested in developing weapons of mass destruction. Heavy Watergate: the War Against Cold Fusion On March 23 1989 respected chemists Dr. Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin Fleishman make an announcement that rocks the world of science. Heavy water readily available in the ocean is used in tabletop experiments that yield enormous amounts of heat energy. Appropriately named cold fusion this purported breakthrough challenges many basic scientific concepts. In response a group of powerful physicists heavily reliant upon government funding for their hot fusion research level an unprecedented smear campaign against Pons Fleishman and the entire field of cold fusion science. Was their discovery of fire from water too good to be true? Or was it the discovery of the millennium?

Genesis Revisited Evidence of a civilisation ruled by emissaries from another world is revealed in the ancient tablets of man. Historian and archaeologist Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the lost and hidden archives of the Anunnaki: extra planetary visitors who over 6 000 years ago inspired what is thought to be the earliest civilisation known to man - the Sumerians. From the sacred stone tablets of this culture any of the teachings of the earliest recorded inventors; philosophers and biblical scholars once thought mythical are now known to be true. Where did these Anunnaki come from? Sitchin says and NASA scientists concur that there may be a mysterious tenth member to our solar system: what the Sumerians called Nibiru. Irretrievably Lost: The Search for the Savannah Bomb Recently released government documents indicate that over the past 50 years American military operations have been responsible for the loss or disappearance of 12 atomic weapons.

In 1960 a joint U.S./Turkish expedition sets out to investigate the aerial sighting of a boat-shaped object in the Ararat Mountains of Eastern Turkey. Though this investigation bears little fruit the stage is set for explorer and archeologist Ron Wyatt. Thirty-five years later at 6 300 feet above sea level he assembles the proof that may establish the half-buried boat-shaped object as the remains of the legendary 'Noah's Ark'. Tunguska: The Russian Roswell Just prior to the Russian Revolution a mysterious 40-megaton explosion lays waste nearly 200 square kilometers of Earth in the desolate northlands of Siberia. The official story alleges the impact of an asteroid but no known scientific explanation can account for the metal fragments found at the site the lack of an impact crater or the high level of radiation present. Was it an asteroid? Or could it have been the explosion of an extraterrestrial craft? Scientifically speaking each conclusion has equal merit.

Throughout the course of civilisation incidents of mass suicide have shaken humanity to the core. Yet history records very different social attitudes toward these extreme events. From the martyrdom of the Jews at Masada to the debauchery and carnage perpetuated by Jim Jones in Guyana, are these the acts of the morally righteous or the morally depraved? In the end, what made them do it?Science Fraud: E=MC$The cold fusion debacle and the purported discovery of the Piltdown man stand as two of the greatest shams perpetrated over the course of scientific history. Have we learned anything from the real or alleged goldbricks of the past? Experts in the field think not. Today's scientists are under considerably more pressure to achieve results in their field. If they don't, they risk losing research grants or, perhaps more importantly, their chance at university tenure. How do these inherent conflicts of interest impact the integrity of medical and scientific discovery, and how do they affect our society at large?
