The Adventures of Pluto Nash (DVD)
Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) is the coolest guy on the moon in the year 2080. He is revered by street criminals for his former career as a smuggler of black market Earth goods. And he is admired by the upper crust for his success in running Club Pluto, the trendiest night spot in the city of Little America. But because Pluto is so popular, he is hated by Rex Crater (identity is a spoiler), a mob mogul who runs a corrupt casino, the Lunar Grand, in the nearby city of Moon Beach. When Rex offers to buy out Club Pluto, Nash refuses, and soon he is on the run from a band of Rex's henchmen. Nash's lovely employee, Dina (Rosaria Dawson), and his hilarious robot bodyguard, Bruno (Randy Quaid), are with him all the way as Nash dawns his space suit and sets out across the moon. With high-action car races, flashy shoot-outs, big explosions, daring stunts, and plenty of comic relief, PLUTO NASH keeps the adventure rolling. The threesome are chased through the moonscape, and eventually find themselves back at Lunar Grand where they must finally settle their score with Rex Crater.An upbeat musical score by John Powell and elaborate futuristic sets and costumes make this Ron Underwood (CITY SLICKERS, TREMORS) film an entertaining treat.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Music Video - 1.Ain't No Need by IMx Featurette - 1.

laugh-out-loud send up of the police training process. When two bumbling but bored cops, Luis de Alba and Tun-Tun, start a police academy, the hinjinx unfurl like dominoes falling. With each enlistee seemingly more inept and idiotic than the next, the academy becomes more like a camp of court jesters. When one of the students finally graduates into his real case, the investigation of a cheating wife, the chaos only escalates.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Photos
“Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.”—Cary GrantHe is Hollywood’s most fascinating and timeless star. Although he came to personify the debonair American, Cary Grant was born Archibald Leach on January 18, 1904, in the seaport village of Bristol, England. Combining the captivating beauty of silent-screen legend Rudolph Valentino with the masculine irresistibility of Clark Gable, Grant emerged as Hollywood’s quintessential leading man. Today,“the man from dream city,” as critic Pauline Kael once described him, remains forever young, an icon of quick wit, romantic charm, and urbane sophistication, the epitome of male physical perfection. Yet beneath this idealized movie image was a conflicted man struggling to balance fame with a desire for an intensely private life separate from the“Cary Grant” persona celebrated by directors and movie studios.Exploring Grant’s troubled childhood, ambiguous sexuality, and lifelong insecurities as well as the magical amalgam of characteristics that allowed him to remain Hollywood’s favorite romantic lead for more than thirty-five years, Cary Grant is the definitive examination of every aspect of Grant’s professional and private life, and the first to reveal the man behind the movie star.Working with the most talented directors of his time, Grant starred in an astonishing seventy-two films, ranging from his groundbreaking comedic roles in such classics as Bringing Up Baby (Howard Hawks) and The Philadelphia Story (George Cukor) to the darker, unforgettable characters of Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion and Notorious, culminating in the consummate sophisticates of An Affair to Remember (Leo McCarey), North by Northwest (Hitchcock), and Charade (Stanley Donen). The camera loved Grant, and his magnetism helped illuminate his leading ladies, some of the most glamorous women ever to grace the silver screen...
