Barneys Great Adventure: The Movie

Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie


Rated: G
While Barney's new movie broadens his horizons and introduces him to new friends, it stays true to Barney's overall theme. Bamey's Great Adventure: The Movie begins with nine-year-old Cody Newton, his little sister Abby and her best-friend Marcella traveling along the highway in their parents' mini-van towards Grandma and Grandpa's farm. Cody is not happy -- a whole week without cable television, marooned with Abby, Marcella and his baby brother, Fig. Of course, Abby and Marcella insist on tormenting him with their toy, a plush, purple dinosaur, Barney. Although their creature is a stuffed animal, the girls are convinced he actually exists, at least in the great expanse of their imaginations. Cody, all sunglasses and high-tops, a study in carefully choreographed cool, has no use for such childish folly. Wallowing in his tripper-than-thou misery, Cody refuses to acknowledge the quaint charms of his temporary home. The indefatigable Abby and Marcella try to entice Cody to join in their fun, using Barney as bait. This appeals to Cody's malevolent side. He sees it as an opportunity to hide the vexing dinosaur from the girls. An elaborate game of "keep away" forces Abby and Marcella to use their imaginations to conjure up the concealed Barney. To Cody's horror and wonder, they succeed except that now, Barney transforms from a small toy to a 6-foot tall, walking, talking, singing dinosaur.

Mercury Rising

Mercury Rising


Rated: R
FBI agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) is despondent and without hope, teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown. But when he is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a nine-year-old autistic child who's parents have been mysteriously slain, he unknowingly stumbles into a situation that is anything but routine. While exploring the scene of the murders at a modest Chicago home, Jeffries discovers the missing boy hidden in a crawl space. The autistic child, Simon (Miko Hughes), is deeply traumatized and unable to speak, and the hard-edged agent immediately feels an intuitive connection with the boy's pain and isolation. His cop instincts also tell him that the boy is in danger, prompting him to demand police surveillance at the hospital where Simon is being cared for. When the surveillance is inexplicably dropped, Jeffries takes the boy under his own protection and flees. Now outcast from the FBI and unable to seek help from the police, Jeffries and Simon are alone, in peril and on the run.
