Walkabout
Starring: Jenny Agutter, David Gulpilil, Lucien John
Director: Nicolas Roeg
NTSC format
Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen, Director's Cut, NTSC
This is a story of two worlds colliding. Lost in the wilderness of Australia, a child (Lucien John) and an adolescent (Jenny Agutter)
rely on young aborigine Gulpilil in order to survive. Roeg, in his first solo outing as director, also beautifully
photographed this mind-massaging 1971 cult favorite. Exuberant score by John Barry.
John is Roeg's young son and later worked with his father
using the name Luc Roeg.
The Witches
Starring: Anjelica Huston, Jasen Fisher, Mai Zetterling, Brenda Blethyn, Rowan
Atkinson
Director: Nicolas Roeg
NTSC format
Color, Closed-captioned, HiFi Sound, NTSC
Scary, funny, and wildly entertaining, The Witches certainly does do justice
to the classic Roald Dahl novel about the adventures of Luke,
an American orphaned boy who moves to England with his doting Norwegian grandmother. The
young boy's vacation turns into a nightmare when he discovers that the hotel is also
hosting a convention of witches! Luke uncovers a diabolical plot to turn all the
children in the world into mice.....
The special effects are dazzling in combination with the delightful British humour which
is contributed to by a number of familiar faces - Rowan Atkinson
(Blackadder, Mr Bean) as the dry illtempered hotel manager, Jane Horrocks (Little Voice) as the fed up secretary, as
well as Bill Paterson and Brenda
Blethyn (Secrets and Lies). Yet the most fabulous performance is given by Anjelica Huston who plays Eva Ernst aka The Grand High Witch.

Wild West
Starring: Will
Smith, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek, Kenneth Branagh
NTSC format
- 1869. Secret Service agent Jim West and his partner,
agent-inventor Artemus Gordon, are entrustled by US President Ulysses S. Grant to protect
the free world. In this story about racism, partnership, and world domination, the malign
genius is the former Confederate soldier Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh). Dr. Loveless is a man who
only exists from the waist up...
Without
Limits
Starring: Billy Crudup, Donald Sutherland
Director: Robert Towne
NTSC format
Without
Limits tells the tale of Oregon runner Steve Prefontaine's love-hate relationship
with his coach, Bill Bowerman (Donald Sutherland) in the
1970s. The tug of war between the two men -- Prefontaine's passion for running each race
as if it will be his last and Bowerman's seasoned, conservative strategies for winning --
becomes a wonderful metaphor for distinct stages of life and attitude. It's the
real story of one of America's greatest distance runners, of his career and tragic
death.
