December 31 - Video and DVD Releases

 

"Hey Arnold! The Movie" (2002)

Many adults will be bored with this animated children's film, which is based on the Nickelodeon cable network TV show "Hey Arnold!." As on the TV show, the title character is a kid with a football-shaped head who lives with his grandparents. He enjoys hanging out in his quaint, but somewhat rundown, neighborhood with his buddy Gerald, who has a towering flattop, and he endures the insults of Helga, who is secretly attracted to him. In "Hey Arnold! The Movie" a ruthless developer wants to demolish everything in Arnold's neighborhood and erect a shopping mall. But Arnold and Gerald think they may have a way of stopping the demolition, and with time running out, they work toward saving their neighborhood, getting some behind-the-scenes help from Helga along the way.

    "XXX" (2002)

    Vin Diesel stars in this action movie, which also features Samuel L. Jackson and Asia Argento. Xander Cage (Diesel) is a daredevil who sometimes gets involved in illegal stunts to make a point, and Augustus Gibbons (Jackson), a National Security Agency official, offers him a choice between prison and accepting a dangerous undercover assignment. Xander ends up being tasked with stopping a Czech madman named Yorgi (Marton Csokas), who threatens to use a biochemical weapon. Xander travels to Prague, where he infiltrates Yorgi's organization and meets the alluring Yelena (Argento), who starts to fall for him. "XXX" has high production values and many well-done action sequences, and the movie is in general rather like a James Bond film, except it skews younger and is a little more down and dirty.

    Selected Special DVD Features:

  • Director's Commentary
  • Music Video
