"Aliens of the Deep"

Tagline: "The search for life beyond begins below."

Length: 47 minutes
MPAA Rating: G

This is a documentary from James Cameron about strange creatures that live at the bottom of the sea. In its theatrical release, it played in IMAX 3-D. Using hi-tech submersibles, the filmmakers photographed miles beneath the surface in places where heat comes up through cracks in the ocean floor. There the life forms operate by chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. The documentary speculates similar life forms may exist elsewhere in the universe, such as on one of Jupiter's moons.

"Millions"

Tagline: "Can anyone be truly good?"

Length: 98 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG for thematic elements, language, some peril and mild sensuality

Set in Britain, this is one of those rare movies that can be enjoyed by both kids and grownups. The story centers around a pair of brothers—one about eight, the other about ten—whose mother has recently died. The boys and their father move to a new suburban community, where the brothers find a bag containing 229,000 pounds in cash only days before the nation is to convert to euros. With good-natured charm, the movie tells the tale of the boys' struggle in dealing with the money.
