At the White House, a would-be assassin--the acrobatic, teleporting blue mutant Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming)--menaces the president. Meanwhile, in the Canadian Rockies, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) searches for answers to his mysterious past at the top-secret facility where he received his metallic skeleton and claws. Back at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) and Storm (Halle Berry) instruct students Rogue (Anna Paquin), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), and Pyro (Aaron Stanford), while Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Cyclops (James Marsden) pay a visit to the imprisoned Magneto (Ian McKellen). However, Magneto has a secret weapon in the shape-shifting Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos). Soon allies and enemies alike will unite to defeat the hate-filled military scientist William Stryker (Brian Cox), who wants to rid the world of mutants. When Stryker launches a ruthless two-pronged attack that leaves the school under siege and Xavier and Cyclops captured, Wolverine and the remaining X-Men must spring to action to save their friends and prevent all-out genocide.Even better than its excellent precursor, X2 delves deeper into the X-Men mythology, introducing new characters and touching on essential storylines from the decades-long run of the Marvel comic book series. Providing larger action-packed set pieces and more advanced special effects, director Bryan Singer further develops the characters of Jean Grey, Storm, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Iceman, Pyro, and Mystique. Each member of the cast breathes vitality into their mutant characters with Wolverine, perfectly portrayed by Jackman, once again the wild heart at the center. A love letter to longtime fans of the comic and an amazingly entertaining movie for everyone else, X2: X-MEN UNITED is that rare breed of sequel that manages to improve on the original in every way.

This collection of three vintage Sasquatch movies includes the first science fiction film ever to feature a Yeti. THE SNOW CREATURE (1954) finds botanist Dr. Parrish (Paul Langton) on an expedition in Tibet, when his Sherpa guide claims that his wife has been kidnapped by a Bigfoot. Meeting disbelief from his Western charges, he takes the group at gunpoint and leads them to the cave where a family of Yetis is holding his wife captive, and the scientists are able to capture one of them. En route to the States, however, it escapes, and winds up terrorizing Los Angeles. Then, in SNOWBEAST (1977), a ski resort is plagued by a rash of deaths apparently caused by animal attacks; the sheriff (Clint Walker) thinks that a Yeti is behind the killings, but the resort owner (Sylvia Sidney), protective of her business, unwisely keeps the place open. Ultimately, it's up to a couple of champion skiers (Bo Svenson and Yvette Minieux) to hunt the beast down. Finally, in the docudrama SASQUATCH, THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT (1977), scientists are combing the Pacific Northwest for evidence of the Sasquatch. They are attempting to separate myth and legend from the truth, but all the stories they've collected does not prepare them for what they find!
