Let's take a look at the new video and DVD releases slated for the second week of November, 2002

Novmeber 12 - Video and DVD Releases

"Bad Company" (2002)

This action comedy stars Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. Gaylord Oakes (Hopkins) and Kevin Pope (Rock) are undercover CIA agents who set out to buy a nuclear device from a shady arms dealer. The dealer trusts only Kevin, so it looks as though the CIA sting operation will fall through when he is killed. But it turns out that Kevin had a twin brother, although the twins were separated at birth and never knew about each other. The CIA manages to convince the living twin—a ticket scalper named Jake Hayes (also played by Rock)—to fill in for his slain brother. Jake has only nine days to learn to imitate his late brother before he and Oakes must complete the purchase of the nuclear device. But other possible buyers complicate the situation, resulting in lots of chases, stunts, and action sequences.

"The Importance of Being Earnest" (2002)

Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon, Judi Dench and Frances O'Connor star in this screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's famous play. In 1890s England, Algy Moncrieff (Everett) and Jack Worthing (Firth) are both bachelors. Jack, going by the name Ernest, is romantically attracted to Algy's cousin Gwendolen (O'Connor). Furthermore, Jack is the guardian of Cecily (Witherspoon), and Algy, also going by the name Ernest, is romantically attracted to her. This leads to comic confusion as both Cecily and Gwendolen believe they are being courted by "Ernest." Dench plays the haughty Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen's mother and Algy's aunt. Wilde's play is noted for witty dialogue spoken in a drawing room setting, but this movie version moves much of the story outdoors on a country estate.

This sequel to "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" (1999) stars Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christensen. Ten years have passed since "Episode I," and the stability of the Republic is threatened by a separatist movement. There's an assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala (Portman), and Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) sets out to discover what's behind it. Obi-Wan's apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Christensen), is assigned the task of protecting Padmé, and they become romantically attracted to each other. It turns out that an army of clones is being developed on a distant planet, and Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé end up in a fight for their lives that will determine the future of the Republic. Also, the dark side of young Anakin Skywalker begins to emerge.
