Peter Sellers portrays Sir Guy Grand, the richest man in the world, who happens upon a young orphan in the park (Ringo Starr) and, on a whim, decides to adopt him. Together they set off on a series of madcap escapades, discovering along the way that money will buy anyone, anything that their happy-go-lucky hearts desire. Highlighting the film is Paul McCartney's hit song ""Come and Get It" and the Monty Python regulars who polish it off with their own quirky brand of hilarity. (Studio Copy)

The endearing tale of Disney's animated classic 101 DALMATIANS continues to unfold in the delightful, all-new 101 DALMATIANS II: PATCH'S LONDON ADVENTURE. It's a fun-filled adventure fresh with irresistible original music and loveable new characters, voiced by Jason Alexander, Martin Short and Barry Bostwick.
Lost in a sea of spots, little Patch longs to stand out from the other puppies and dreams of being a "One Of A Kind Wonder Dog" like his favorite TV-star, Thunderbolt. When Patch accidentally gets separated from his family, he takes the opportunity to meet his hero and, miraculously, finds himself in the real-life role of Thunderbolt's sidekick.
Meanwhile, Cruella has become a patron of the arts after discovering the spotty paintings of an eccentric new artist named Lars. To inspire him, she kidnaps all of the other Dalmatian puppies. Together, Patch and Thunderbolt have to figure out a way to save the day, and, through his own acts of heroism, Patch discovers that he truly is one-of-a-kind. The heart-stopping thrills and heartwarming antics of Patch and Thunderbolt make this rollicking new adventure spot-on fun for the whole family. (Studio Copy)
Cleary not up to the standards of the original 1961 animated feature but engaging and entertaining enough for the little ones, the characters and story return to the animated world -- after stints in the live-action films "101 Dalmatians" (1996) and "102 Dalmatians" (2000) - in a more kid-friendly environment.

Theatrical Trailer.
Following the success of the original, 1987 "Predator" film, this 1990 sequel retrieves the titular character (although not the exact one from the first film), but, alas, not Arnold Schwarzenegger as it moves the action from the real jungle to the concrete one of Los Angeles. Instead, Danny "Lethal Weapon" Glover is inserted into the lead role with mixed results.
While the pacing is fast and the production design first-rate (at least for a film made in 1990) it's missing the trademark Schwarzenegger one-liners and director Stephen Hopkins doesn't match up to John McTiernan in doing anything memorable or remarkable with the original's imaginative twist on Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." With Gary Busey, Ruben Blades, Maria Conchita Alonso and Bill Paxton.

When an American cargo plane carrying a top-secret anti-personnel device is shot down over war-torn Chechnya, Russian scientists are eager to investigate. But their curiosity leads to horrific death and destruction as they inadvertently unleash the most terrifying weapon the world has ever known: a massive, biogenetically enhanced python with lightning-fast reflexes and a voracious appetite for human flesh.
While the body count soars, the Americans and Russians must work together to mount one last stand against an unstoppable predator that's tracking their every movement - and getting hungrier by the minute. (Studio Copy)
