FEATURED RELEASES
"The Robocop Collection" (1987-93) (VHS) (R)
starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Robert John Burke; directed by Verhoeven, Kershner, and Dekker
Now available in an attractively priced three-tape boxed set, the "Robocop" trilogy is an enduring series of box-office hits, noted for their swift combination of science fiction, social satire, and fast-paced action and violence.

"Deep Blue Sea" (1999) (VHS) (R)
starring Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, LL Cool J, Thomas Jane; directed by Renny Harlin
A surprising hit when released last summer, "Deep Blue Sea" combines a basic science fiction premise--a quest to cure Alzheimer's disease by genetically "enhancing" the brains of mako sharks--with the roller-coaster thrills of a horror thriller. Using the latest filmmaking technologies that Steven Spielberg could only dream about when he made "Jaws" a quarter-century earlier, the film offers some genuinely effective shocks when the sharks--now smarter and very aggressive--escape the confines of their ocean lab facility and go after researchers with hungry vengeance. Pure popcorn entertainment, from the director of "Cliffhanger." Read more

"Dreamscape" (1984) (VHS) (PG-13)
starring Dennis Quaid, Max von Sydow, Kate Capshaw, David Patrick Kelly; directed by Joseph Ruben
"Dreamscape" has gained a modest cult following since its release in 1984, and for good reason. Not only is this a tight, fast-paced psychological thriller, but its entry into the fantastic--by way of one person's "dreamlinking" into the nightmares of another for therapeutic (or potentially evil) purposes--is handled with mounting tension and the use of fascinating dream imagery. It's also the movie that boosted Dennis Quaid's career (after his breakthrough success in "The Right Stuff") and brought then-unknown Kate Capshaw to the attention of future husband Steven Spielberg. Out of circulation for several years, "Dreamscape" has now made a welcome return to video. Read more

"Angry Red Planet" (1959) (VHS) (Not rated; suitable for all ages)
starring Gerald Mohr, Nora Hayden; directed by Ib Melchior
If you were a kid during the Eisenhower era--and even if you weren't--you might feel a pleasant rush of nostalgia when you watch this cheesy sci-fi flick from 1959. A typical space adventure from its period, this beloved chestnut is rather quaint now, with its depiction of Mars as an inhospitable planet populated by carnivorous plants, horrific creatures, and gooey blobs of threatening Jell-O. Better yet, the Martian scenes were filmed in a gimmicky process called "Cinemagic," rendering everything murky, pink, and weird. Think of this as the kind of movie Beaver Cleaver would have loved.
