Evita

Evita


Rated: NONE
It is 1952 and Eva Peron is dead. Deeply shocked, Argentina mourns the premature death of this country girl whose meteoric rise to defender of the poor has changed the nation's history in a few short years. Eva Duarte was born the illegitimate daughter of a penniless farmer in a small town west of Buenos Aires. Eva succeeds against great odds -- becoming a radio and film actress and a fixture of Buenos Aires society. When her rising politician husband is elected President, she becomes even more politically powerful and simultaneously loved and hated women in Argentina.
Jackie Chans First Strike

Jackie Chan's First Strike


Rated: PG-13
The fourth installment in the popular Police Story series, the film is directed by Stanley Tong (Rumble in the Bronx) and produced by Golden Harvest and Barbie Tung. New Line Cinema will release Jackie Chan's First Strike on January 10, 1997. Set against the backdrop of the international arms race, Chan portrays a Hong Kong police officer who is contracted by the CIA and a Russian intelligence organization to retrieve a stolen Ukrainian nuclear warhead. As Jackie tries to sort out the good guys from the bad, the action begins and the bullets fly. From the snow-capped mountains of the Ukraine to a shark-infested water park in Australia, Jackie pursues a rogue CIA agent. Along the way he is attacked, assaulted, framed for murder and forced to defend himself in a way that only Jackie Chan can. Everything within arm's reach becomes a weapon: ladders, brooms, tables, cars, stilts, even sharks!

Now, there's something stalking those dark, labyrinthine halls, something that will soon be the talk of the town... if anyone lives to tell about it.

Turbulence


Rated: R
Ryan Weaver is a serial killer who is known as the Lonely Hearts Strangler. Ryan was raised by his aunt, who disappeared 19 years ago when Ryan was 16-years-old. Two years ago, Ryan was convicted of raping and killing 5 women in the Los Angeles area, and Ryan was sentenced to be executed, but on his way to the prison, Ryan escaped. For the two years since the escape, Los Angeles cop Aldo Hines has been after Ryan. In New York City, Aldo finally finds Ryan, and Ryan is prepared to be extradited to Los Angeles. Two days later, on Christmas Eve, TransCon Airlines flight 7 takes off with four U.S. Marshals on the airplane guarding Ryan and another convict named Stubbs. While the airplane is over Akron, Ohio, Stubbs kills all four of the marshals. Ryan then grabs a gun and kills Stubbs. During this melee, pilot Matt Powell and co-pilot Ted Kary are both killed, leaving the autopilot to fly the airplane, and Ryan takes the airplane hostage. Flight attendant Teri Halloran rushes to the cockpit, where she radios the nearest control tower and is patched through to Tower Airlines pilot Samuel Bowen, who tries to help her as Ryan repeatedly tries to kill her.
