""Tremors - Im Land der Raketenwürmer"Der Name täuscht: "Perfection" ist ein mieses Kaff in der Wüste Nevadas - und zudem auf einem Nest urzeitlicher Raketen-Würmer gelegen. Die stinkenden Riesenwürmer bohren sich mit rasender Geschwindigkeit durch die Erde und grapschen mit ihren krallenbesetzten Tentakeln nach allem, was sich bewegt. Abgeschnitten von der Umwelt, versuchen die Bewohner von Perfection ihre Haut zu retten, angeführt ausg ..."
"Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell got together on Swing Shift--and if that's the main reason people know about this movie, it only has itself to blame. The film has a marvelous subject (women's changing status on the home front during World War II), a hugely attractive cast, and a sympathetic director, Jonathan Demme, whose previous film, Melvin and Howard, had been a splendid piece of Americana. Yet despite this, it feels disjointed. ..."

They embark on a cross country road trip from Connecticut to Los Angeles to attend the wedding of their son and give him their vintage Thunderbird as a wedding gift.

"Würden Aliens sich auf die Erde begeben, um zu sehen, ob die Menschheit es wert sei, gerettet zu werden, wäre es wohl keine gute Idee, ihnen Short Cuts zu zeigen, Robert Altmans bluesiges Riff auf das Leben in Los Angeles in den 90ern. Dieser ambitionierte Film, der auf Geschichten von Raymond Carver basiert und von Altman und Frank Barhydt bearbeitet wurde, ist ein teuflischer Tribut an das Leben in L.A., wo Glücklichsein hoch im Kurs ..."
"Based on Tom Wolfe's novel of the same name, The Right Stuff is a spectacular and thrilling epic that chronicles the fledgling years of the American space programme, from breaking the sound barrier to putting the first man into orbit. Rather than focusing on the technological advances that made this possible, writer-director Philip Kaufman pays tribute to the daring and heroic air-force test-pilots, most notably Chuck Yeager, John Glenn ..."

"Based on the harrowing account of whistle blower Karen Silkwood, this 1983 film directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate, Postcards from the Edge) is as much a character study of a woman galvanized by injustice as a story of the dangers of nuclear power and the extremes of corporate greed. When Karen discovers unsafe conditions and reckless protocol at the plant where she works, her actions in uncovering the dangers that lie at the plant ..."
"An anonymous note sets off a romantic chain-mail reaction with hilarious results in this letter-perfect comedy with "something for everybody" (The Washington Post). Flirty and hilarious, Secret Admirer is a fast and funny farce where the laughs are unsigned, sealed and delivered. When high school heartthrob Michael (C. Thomas Howell, Red Dawn) receives an unsigned love letter, he assumes it's from knockout prom queen Deborah-Anne (Kell ..."
