MILLENNIUM

WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU

Time travel, the fate of air disaster victims and the future of mankind provide the thrilling ingredients for MILLENNIUM. In this on-the-edge-of-your-set sci-fi thriller, Bill Smith (Kris Kristofferson), chief investigator of the NTSB, is sifting through wreckage of two jumbo jets involved in a midair collision when he uncovers a strange alien device amid the rubble. What is it? Where did it come from?

His questions are answered when he meets Louise (Cheryl Ladd), a woman from the future whose do-or-die mission is to travel back in time and recover the lost “stunner.” Is she running out of time? Will Bill Smith’s knowledge of the future jeopardize the course of history? Is the future of mankind now a thing of the past? One thing’s for sure… the suspense never lets up.

…they didn’t make history, they stole it!

This adventure-fantasy-comedy is a wildly imaginative trip to a new dimension in time and space crammed with humor, action and spectacular special effects. A young time traveler (Craig Warnock) encounters Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon, as well as the sinking of the Titanic, in this spaced-out romp through the heavens and history, produced and directed by Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. The musical score by ex-Beatle George Harrison adds to the excitement of castles, legends, battles between good and evil and the capricious rewriting of history.

This unlikely partnership trades laughs as often as punches as both pursue their separate goals: Nolte wants the villains; Murphy wants his money and some much-needed female companionship. Watch for Murphy’s hilarious scene in a redneck country-western bar–you’ll want to see it again and again.

The best-selling novel by Bret Easton Ellis is vividly brought to the screen in this tale of Beverly Hills kids that have it all: money, looks, dreams… and stand to lose it all. In a spellbinding performance, Robert Downey Jr. (“The Pickup Artist“) portrays Julian, a boy with looks, charm, smarts, and a father who sets him up in the record business. He’s also got a best friend, Clay (Andrew McCarthy, “St. Elmo’s Fire“), and a girlfriend, Blair (Jami Gertz, “The Lost Boys“)… and Julian has a drug habit. Clay wants to help and is willing to do just about anything for his friend, but Julian’s going down the tubes so fast he might just take both Clay and Blair with him. Fueled by exceptional acting and immensely effective photography, this powerful drama is the unforgettable story of three kids who started out with everything going for them, and are about to wind up with LESS THAN ZERO.
