"Kambakkht Ishq" explores the relationship of two individuals as different from each other as chalk and cheese. No matter how many times they are pushed together, there are only fireworks and no fire. Viraj Shergill is a swashbuckling stuntman in Hollywood who lives by the mantra "women are good for only two things: making love and making love". Simrita Rai is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue; her firm belief "there's no such thing as love". So what happens when the two people who hate each other the most meet at Simrita's best friend Kamini's and Viraj's brother Lucky's wedding--a wedding that both Viraj and Simrita are violently opposed to and desperate to stop. Sparks fly, accidents occur, and both are thrown in together in the most absurd, hilarious situations until one dramatic twist of fate binds the two together in a manner that they could have never even dreamed of in their wildest fantasies. The battle of the sexes is on. Who is going to throw the punches and who is going to blow the kisses? Game set. Battle begins!

G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra
The director who brought us the effects laden first edition of "The Mummy" franchise, Stephen Sommers updates the "Ken-Doll" G.I. Joe character that was Hasbro's popular action figure in the 1960's and 70's - and pushes "Joe" more into the mold of the 1980's TV cartoon Joe. This guy (or, these guys as the case would be) is more high tech than soldier grunt, and this movie goes non-stop.

The Taking of Pelham 123
Two of film's biggest stars are in this one, with action director Tony Scott pitting Denzel Washington's good guy subway dispatcher against a murderous hijacker played by John Travolta. Based on the exciting 1973 novel, this movie was made once before in the mid-70's with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw starring. Both versions are worth a viewing.
Food Inc.
Director Robert Kenner brings you the film equivalent of Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle." Alright, that may be too extreme an example! But this documentary on the food industry may change the way you look at your plate of dinner food - especially if you're staring down a piece of mass-produced store-bought meat or chicken.
Walt Disney Treasures: Zorro - The Complete 1st Season
Before Guy Williams played the galactic traveling Dad on the TV classic "Lost In Space," he was the very square-jawed and handsome lead in this Disney TV show that debuted in October of 1957. This multi-disc set comes in one of the special "tin" boxes that these Disney treasures are known for. One interesting note regarding Guy Williams: he was a medium-sized star in Hollywood, but because of this show he was so hugely popular in foreign countries, especially those in South American, that he chose to retire in Argentina in his later years where he was treasured as an acting great. We're guessing he never paid for a drink at his local taverna!
