George of the Jungle

George of the Jungle is a 1997 American live-action film adaptation of the cartoon of the same name. The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures with Mandeville Films and originally released to movie theatres on July 16, 1997. It stars Brendan Fraser as the eponymous main character, a primitive man who was raised by animals in an African jungle; Leslie Mann as his wealthy American love interest; and Thomas Haden Church as her treacherous fiancé.

A direct-to-video sequel, George of the Jungle 2, was released on DVD in 2003, however only four of the original actors returned for the sequel.

Plot:
The film begins with an animated introduction featuring a plane heading toward "the Heart of Africa" (more specifically, a region called "Bukuvu"). The plane crashes and George, an infant, is lost, but enjoys vine swinging and crashing into trees as a running gag. Over 25 years later, George (Brendan Fraser) is a Tarzan-like man, the "King of the Jungle". His friends include a sophisticated talking gorilla named Ape (voiced by John Cleese), along with a toco toucan named Tookie, a small capuchin monkey named Little Monkey, and an African elephant named Shep, whom he calls his "dog" (all voiced by Frank Welker).

The live action begins as heiress Ursula Stanhope (Leslie Mann) explores the jungle near George's home with the help of her guide, Mr. Kwame (Richard Roundtree) and some native porters. She has traveled to Africa alone, but she is joined by her wealthy fiancé Lyle Van De Groot (Thomas Haden Church) who has found her with the help of Max and Thor (Greg Cruttwell and Abraham Benrubi), two dopey poachers who are posing as trackers. That evening, Mr. Kwame recounts the legend of the White Ape, said to be a huge, super-strong primate who rules the surrounding jungle.

The next day, Lyle almost causes the death of one of the porters, and he abandons Ursula when the two of them are attacked by a lion. George saves Ursula and takes her to his treehouse home (albeit unconscious), and Lyle returns to the camp, claiming to have been attacked by the White Ape. While the exploration party searches for Ursula, George entertains her and teaches her to swing on vines. He also falls in love with her, so Ape advises him to woo her by making faces and beating his chest, as gorillas do. This fails to impress Ursula, but George wins her over with his charm, and they enjoy an evening of dancing around a campfire.

On the third day, the explorers discover George's treehouse, Lyle accidentally discharges his weapon and George gets shot in the arm (because the porters switched his pistol lighter for an actual gun) as George tries to prevent Max and Thor from shooting Ape with a tranquilizer gun. Seeing this happen, both Ape and Ursula scream in terror. While Lyle is arrested for the shooting (and called 'a big doofus' by the narrator), Ursula flies George to her home in San Francisco for medical treatment and buys clothes for him. George explores the city and saves a paraglider's life. With George's help, Ursula finds the courage to tell her parents that she no longer wants to marry Lyle, but her overbearing mother Beatrice Stanhope (Holland Taylor), who is intent on marrying her to a man of wealth and prestige, threatens George to give Ursula up or she would "remove his reason for wearing a loincloth".

Meanwhile, Max and Thor (who haven't left Africa, despite being deported) capture Ape, knowing that he can speak. Ape manages to send Tookie to San Francisco to ask George for help. When Tookie finds George, George returns to Africa to save Ape, and after realizing that she loves George, Ursula follows. George finds the poachers at the treehouse, with Ape in a cage, and he defeats them after an extended battle, with help from Ursula and his animal family. However, Lyle appears and it looks like he is no longer in prison and has joined a marriage cult. He kidnaps Ursula with help from several mercenaries associated with the cult. Lyle intends to marry himself to Ursula immediately. After escaping the mercenaries with help from his gorilla friends, George chases Lyle and Ursula as they float into some river rapids on a raft. George makes a super fast swing that sends him crashing into a tree so hard that he groans "George not feel so good." He then saves Ursula while Lyle enters a dark tunnel. After performing his wedding ceremony and exiting the tunnel, Lyle discovers that he has just married a gorilla. After professing their love for each other, George and Ursula have their wedding and ride off on Shep. They have a son and present him to the animals of the jungle on Pride Rock.

A little later, during the ending credits, Ape orders the credits to stop and reveals to the audience on his fate: he becomes a big singing star in Las Vegas. He is seen singing the Frank Sinatra song "My Way", with Thor and Max as background staff; they play as a coconut tree.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Anch
orman 2: The Legend Continues is a 2013 American comedy film, and the sequel to the 2004 film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. As with the original film, it is directed by Adam McKay, produced by Judd Apatow, written by McKay and Will Ferrell, and stars Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Christina Applegate all reprising their roles from the first film. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film was released on December 18, 2013.

The movie marked a change in film history when Paramount became the first major studio to distribute movies to theaters in digital format eliminating 35mm film entirely.Anchorman 2 was the last Paramount production to include a 35mm film version, while The Wolf of Wall Street was the first major movie distributed entirely digitally.

Plot:
Several years after the events of the first film, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) are married and are both co-anchors for a prestigious news network in New York City. One day, Mack Tannen (Harrison Ford), the most famous nightly news anchor in New York, reveals that he is retiring. He intends to promote Veronica, making her the first female nightly news anchor in the history of television, and to fire Ron due to his continuously sloppy performance on air. Ron grows jealous of Veronica's success and storms out of the house, leaving Veronica and his six-year-old son Walter (Judah Nelson).

Six months later, Ron is back in San Diego, but barely able to hold a job due to his depression. After being fired from Sea World and botching a suicide attempt, Ron accepts a job with GNN (Global News Network), the world's first 24 hour news network, for GNN's official launch. He reassembles his news team, finding Champ Kind (David Koechner), who owns a fried chicken store (that sells bats secretly to cut down on costs), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), now a famous cat photographer, and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), who is presumed dead but appears at his own funeral. They are assigned the unpopular late night timeslot while rival reporter Jack Lime (James Marsden) is put in a primetime slot. Meanwhile, Ron finds that Veronica is dating another man, a psychiatrist named Gary (Greg Kinnear) due to his absence.

As GNN launches, Ron decides to broadcast what the people want to hear, rather than what they need to hear, and devise a sensationalist and attention grabbing newscast. Their new approach to news proves to be a massive hit, beating Lime in ratings by a massive margin, and the other news networks begin to scramble to emulate them. Ron and his team are then promoted to primetime, where they enjoy much fame and fortune. Meanwhile, Ron catches the attention of GNN's manager, Linda Jackson (Meagan Good) and they begin dating. Brick also meets a similarly eccentric GNN office worker named Chani (Kristen Wiig) and immediately falls in love. Ron begins to let his newfound fame get to his head, and he begins to neglect his parental obligations to Walter, angering Veronica. He also alienates Brian, Champ, and Brick. During a party celebrating GNN becoming the highest rated news network in the nation, Lime causes Ron to slip and suffer a head injury, becoming blind.

Unable to read the news, Ron isolates himself, but cannot adjust to living as a blind man. Veronica arrives with Walter, wanting to help Ron overcome his blindness. Ron bonds with his family, and overcomes his disability. Ron and his son rehabilitate a shark, who they name Doby. Ron finds out that Veronica was hiding that his doctor could perform an experimental procedure, leaves angrily, gets his sight restored, and returns to GNN.
Before his comeback, Ron is once again approached by Veronica, who pleads with him to attend Walter's piano recital, as Walter had composed a piece in honor of Ron. At the same time, an exclusive news story comes in, requiring Ron to cover it. Ron goes to the set, where he proceeds to go on a rant criticizing news networks, including GNN, for focusing on ratings rather than the news and leaves the set, intending to go to Walter's recital. However, he is intercepted by Jack Lime and the teams from a number of other national news networks, including Tannen, who want to kill him due to his fame. Burgundy's friends then arrive to defend him and a massive free for all battle ensues. Despite the fighting, Ron manages to reach Walter's recital in time.

Afterwards, Ron and his friends go to attend Brick and Chani's wedding on the beach. Ron then sees Doby in the water, and swims out to meet him despite the warnings from his friends and family. Doby then attacks Ron, but he is saved when Baxter swims out and banishes Doby back to sea. Thanking Baxter, Ron swims back to shore where his friends and family are waiting for him.

Juoni:
Pohjoisessa Arendellessa elää kuningas ja kuningatar, joilla on kaksi tytärtä: prinsessat Anna ja Elsa. Kruununperijä Elsa on syntynyt taianomaisten voimien kanssa, joiden avulla hän voi hallita jäätä ja lunta. Eräänä yönä tyttöjen leikkiessä Elsa vahingoittaa sisartaan pahoin. Kuningas ja kuningatar vievät tyttärensä peikkojen luo, jossa Peikkopappa parantaa Annan, ja neuvoo Elsaa opettelemaan voimiensa hallitsemista. Kuningaspari päättää eristää siskot toisistaan, ja sulkea linnan muulta maailmalta. Anna kasvaa optimistisena yksinäisyydessä, Elsa omia voimiaan peläten. Tyttöjen ollessa teini-ikäisiä heidän vanhempansa menehtyvät.
Vuosien kuluttua Elsa (Katja Sirkiä) tulee täysi-ikäiseksi, ja valtakunta alkaa valmistella kruunajaisia. Linnan portit avataan, ja ulkomaailma kohtaa kaksi hyvin erilaista prinsessaa: elämänmyönteisen ja iloisen Annan (Saara Aalto), sekä pidättyväisen ja hermostuneen Elsan. Juhlakansan myötä kruunajasiin saapuvat juonitteleva Weseltonin herttua (Vesa Hämes), sekä nuori ja komea Eteläsaarten prinssi Hans (Tuukka Leppänen).

Elsa kruunataan Arendellen uudeksi kuningattareksi ja juhlat alkavat. Hans ja Anna löytävät yhteisen sävelen nopeasti, ja pian Hans kosii Annaa, joka suostuu empimättä. Elsa kieltäytyy siunaamasta heidän liittoaan, jonka seurauksena sisarukset riitaantuvat. Hermostunut Elsa paljastaa jäiset voimansa koko juhlakansalle. Weseltonin herttua lietsoo ihmisiin paniikkia, ja Elsa pakenee Pohjoisvuorelle jäädyttäen tietämättään koko kesäisen Arendellen ikitalveen. Anna päättää etsiä sisarensa, ja jättää valtakunnan vastuun prinssi Hansille.
Paettuaan Elsa koettelee voimiaan, ja rakentaa upean jääpalatsin asuinsijakseen. Anna törmää saamelaiseen vuoristomieheen Kristoffiin (Axl Smith) ja hänen poroonsa Sveniin. Kristoff suostuu viemään Annan Elsan luo, sillä Anna auttaa häntä tarvikkeiden ostossa. Kolmikkoon liittyy pian myös Elsan luoma lumiukko Olaf (Tero Koponen), joka unelmoi lämmöstä. Ryhmä löytää Elsan palatsin, ja Anna yrittää taivutella sisarensa palaamaan Arendelleen. Elsa järkyttyy kuullessaan loihtineensa ikitalven, ja kiihtyneenä jäädyttää vahingossa Annan sydämen. Elsa luo Vaahtokarkki-lumihirviön, ja Anna ja Kristoff joutuvat pakenemaan palatsista.
Annan hiukset alkavat muuttua valkeiksi, ja Kristoff ymmärtää mistä on kyse. Hän vie Annan peikkoperheensä luo, ja Peikkopappa kertoo, että Annan voi pelastaa vain tosirakkauden teko. Kristoff päättää viedä Annan Hansin luo, jotta Hans voisi suudella Annaa, ja tyttö pelastuisi. Samalla Elsan itsehillintä alkaa järkkyä, ja joukko Arendellesta tulleita miehiä hyökkää Elsan kimppuun. Elsa taistelee vastaan kaikin voimin, kunnes Hans saa hänet järkiinsä. Jääpalatsi alkaa lyyhistyä, ja Elsa menettää tajunsa.

Elsa herää vangittuna Arendellen vankityrmästä. Hans kertoo ettei Anna ole palannut vieläkään, ja pyytää Elsaa palauttamaan kesän. Elsa paljastaa Hansille, ettei tiedä miten talven saa päättymään. Kristoff tuo heikkokuntoisen Annan takaisin Arendelleen, ja palaa Svenin kanssa kohti erämaata. Anna pyytää Hansilta tosirakkauden suudelmaa pelastuakseen, mutta Hans kieltäytyy, ja paljastaa todelliset suunnitelmansa. Hans jättää Annan jäätymään kylmään ja lukittuun huoneeseen.

Hans kertoo Annan kuolleen, ja määrää Elsan surmattavaksi maanpetoksesta. Elsa pakenee tyrmästä, ja Arendellen lumimyrsky voimistuu. Kristoff huomaa jonkin olevan vialla, ja palaa Svenin selässä takaisin Arendelleen. Olaf pelastaa Annan lukitusta huoneesta, ja saa Annan tajuamaan Kristoffin rakkauden.
Anna ja Kristoff koettavat tavoittaa toisensa ennen kuin on liian myöhäistä. Hans tavoittaa pakenevan Elsan ja kertoo Annan kuolleen Elsan taian vuoksi. Elsa lyyhistyy ja lumimyrsky alkaa laantua. Anna ja Kristoff huomaavat toisensa, ja Kristoff juoksee kohti Annaa voidakseen pelastaa tämän tosirakkauden teolla. Anna vaihtaa suuntaa viime hetkellä päättäen pelastaa Elsan itsensä sijasta, ja heittäytyy Elsan eteen Hansin yrittäessä surmata tätä miekalla. Anna jäätyy juuri kun miekan terä koskettaa häntä, ja Hans paiskautuu jäätymisen voimasta taaksepäin.

Elsa ymmärtää Annan uhrauksen, ja puhkeaa lohduttomiin kyyneliin. Hetken kuluttua Anna kuitenkin sulaa ikijäästä, sillä hänen uhrauksensa Elsan puolesta oli pelastava "tosirakkauden teko". Elsa ymmärtää rakkauden sulattavan jään, ja palauttaa viimein kesän Arendelliin. Juhlavieraat pääsevät lähtemään Arendellista, ja prinssi Hans heitetään laivan tyrmään kohti kotimaataan. Olaf saa nauttia oman lumimyräkkänsä ansiosta kesän riemuista, Anna ja Kristoff suutelevat, ja Elsa kokee viimein hyväksyntää. Elsa loihtii suuren luistinradan koko valtakunnan iloksi, ja lupaa Annalle, ettei linnan portteja suljeta enää ikinä.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a 1998 American dark comedy film co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio del Toro as Dr. Gonzo. It was adapted from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel of the same name.
The film was a box office failure, grossing US$10.6 million at the North American box office, well below its $18.5 million budget. It has since become a cult film due in large part to its release on DVD, including a Special Edition released by The Criterion Collection.

Plot:
The film opens with a montage of news clips of Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War protests while The Lennon Sisters cover of "My Favorite Things" plays over them, before cutting to Raoul Duke (Depp) and Dr. Gonzo (del Toro) speeding across the Nevada desert. Duke, under the influence of mescaline, complains of a swarm of giant bats, before going through the pair's inventory of psychoactive drugs. Shortly afterward, the duo stop to pick up a young hitchhiker (Maguire), and explain what they are doing. Duke has been assigned by an unnamed magazine to travel to Las Vegas and cover the Mint 400 motorcycle race. However, they have also decided to take advantage of the trip by purchasing a large number of drugs, and rent a red Cadillac convertible. The young man soon becomes terrified of the antics of the duo, and flees on foot. Trying to reach Vegas before the hitchhiker can go to the police, Gonzo gives Duke part of a sheet of "Sunshine Acid", then informs him that there is little chance of making it before the drug kicks in. By the time they reach the strip, Duke is in full throes of his trip, and barely makes it through the check-in; all the while hallucinating that the hotel clerk is a moray eel, and that his fellow bar patrons are lizards in the depths of an orgy.
The next day, Duke arrives at the race, and heads out with his photographer, a man by the name of Lacerda (Bierko). During the coverage, Duke becomes irrational and believes that they are in the middle of a battlefield, so he fires Lacerda, and returns to the hotel. After consuming more mescaline, as well as huffing diethyl ether, Duke and Gonzo arrive at the Bazooko Circus casino, but leave shortly afterwards, the chaotic atmosphere frightening Gonzo. Back in the hotel room, Duke leaves Gonzo unattended, and tries his luck at a quick round of roulette. When Duke returns, he finds that Gonzo, after consuming a full sheet of LSD, has trashed the room, and is sitting fully clothed in the bathtub, attempting to pull the tape player in with him, as he wants to hear the song better. He pleads with Duke to throw the machine into the water when the song "White Rabbit" peaks. Duke agrees, but instead throws a grapefruit at Gonzo's head before running outside.
The next morning, Duke awakes to a massive room service bill, and no sign of Gonzo (who had returned to Los Angeles while Duke slept), and attempts to leave town. As he nears Baker, California, a highway patrolman (Busey) pulls him over for speeding, and advises him to sleep at a nearby rest stop. Realizing that he is being set up, Duke instead decides to return to Las Vegas, and reads a telegram from Gonzo, informing him that he has a suite in his name at the Flamingo Las Vegas so he can cover a District Attorney's convention on narcotics. Duke checks into his suite, only to be met by an LSD-tripping Gonzo, and a young girl by the name of Lucy (Ricci) he has brought with him. Gonzo explains that Lucy has come to Las Vegas to meet Barbra Streisand, and that he fed her LSD on the plane without her knowing. Sensing the trouble this could get them into, Duke convinces Gonzo to ditch Lucy in another hotel before her trip wears off.
Gonzo accompanies Duke to the D.A.'s convention, and the pair discreetly snort cocaine as the guest speaker delivers a comically out-of-touch speech about "marijuana addicts" before showing a brief film. Unable to take it, Duke and Gonzo flee back to their room, only to discover that Lucy has called. Their trips mostly over, Gonzo deals with Lucy over the phone (pretending that he is being savagely beaten by thugs), as Duke attempts to mellow out by trying some of Gonzo's stash of adrenochrome. However, the trip spirals out of control, and Duke is reduced to an incoherent mess before he blacks out.
After an unspecified amount of time passes, Duke wakes up to a complete ruin of the once pristine suite. After discovering his tape recorder, he attempts to remember what has happened. As he listens, he has brief memories of the general mayhem that has taken place (including a heated encounter with a waitress at a diner, convincing a distraught cleaning woman that they are police officers investigating a drug ring, and attempting to buy an orangutan).
Duke drops Gonzo off at the airport, after missing the entrance, driving across the tarmac and pulling up right next to the plane, before returning to the hotel one last time to finish his article. The film ends with Duke speeding back to California as The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" plays over the credits.

Even Chris' only friend, Jared (Eric Edelstein), a sarcastic slacker IT guy who secretly monitors everyone's porn intake, slams Chris for being a sissy. But when a team-building "wilderness seminar" goes horribly wrong, and unhinged ex-marine teambuilding coach Storm Rothchild (Jean-Claude Van Damme) gets mauled by a tiger, Chris and his co-workers find themselves stranded on a deserted tropical island with no rescue in sight – and someone's going to have to step up and take charge. Phil quickly proclaims himself "God" of the island – but Chris has Boy Scout skills and would be far better suited to lead the group if he could overcome his fear – of everything. Can Chris finally start acting like a man and face Phil, release his inner-beast, get them rescued and get the girl? Or will Phil triumph, as usual, while Chris cowers like an effeminate weakling?

Plot:
Larry McCoy (Larry the Cable Guy), Bill Little (Bill Engvall), and Everett Shackleford (DJ Qualls) are members of the Army National Guard. Larry loses his job and his girlfriend Karen reveals that she is pregnant with someone else’s baby. Bill is having a hard time with wife Connie and Everett lives in a storage locker as a security guard after getting fired from being a police officer. Bill shows Larry how to get over his grief of Karen by shooting the gifts that he got Karen. Meanwhile, an Army Colonel gets a request for more troops for Fallujah and sends Master Sergeant Kilgore (Keith David) to assess the situation at the local reserve base where he finds Bill, Larry, and Everett. He puts them through a training regimen and sends them to Fallujah. They fall asleep in a Humvee aboard the cargo plane and the pilots dump all of the cargo when the plane experiences turbulence. Sergeant Kilgore is also pulled out of the plane when he is snagged on a pallet of supplies. After they wake up the next morning, they believe they are in Iraq. When climbing out of the Humvee, Everett stomps on the radio. They find Kilgore lying next to one of the supply crates, concluding he had died. After running out of water, Everett starts to urinate in a canteen and leaves it on a crate. They solemnly bury him and give a brief eulogy. After gearing up, Larry holds a machine gun and says, "All right ladies...Let’s Git R Done." Little do they know, they've are actually about 500 km from Mexico City. After some driving and looking at a map of Iraq, Larry confirms that they were lost. Everett complains about not getting to shoot anyone yet while Bill and Larry tell him the rules of engagement. Everett sees two Mexicans with their mule and views them as a threat. He fires as the two men and their donkey duck to the floor. The three soldiers confront the men and see that Everett killed their mule by mistake. Larry tells them that they're here to liberate their people. The mule regains consciousness and the two Mexicans ask the soldiers to help their village. They accept. Back at the landing sight, Kilgore jumps out of his burial and sees a sign which shows that he is in Mexico. He sees a canteen on a crate (which Everett peed in). He pours it on his head, drinks it, and realizes that it’s urine. Meanwhile, the soldiers and the two Mexicans look over a rock and Larry sees through the binoculars that "Iraqi Insurgents" abusing the residents of La Miranda. Larry, Bill, and Everett devise a plan and Bill isn't sure. Larry looks back and sees one of the Insurgents holding the Mayor’s daughter by the arm, presumably to be taken away as a slave girl or raped. The three soldiers drive into the village, poorly shooting and manage to drive and scare most of them away while capturing one for questioning. The villagers throw a party to celebrate. Meanwhile, Kilgore is found to be alive. Larry asks the prisoner, Ricardo, if he is Republic Guard or Al Qaeda and where are the weapons of mass destruction, and Everett, in a homemade sniper suit, asks if he's a Turd or a Shi'ite. Ricardo realizes they are confused and laughs at them. When Larry asks what was funny, Ricardo says, "You're not in Iraq, gringo." Larry realizes that gringo is a term used by Mexicans. Larry finds Bill who says jokingly that they may be in Mexico. They realize they are still fighting terrorism in a different form. They learn the name of the leader of the bandits is Carlos Santana (Danny Trejo). Meanwhile, the soldiers fix up the town, calling the mission "Operation: Sombrero." A bartender informs Bill of a nearby phone while he tries to fix the radio and Bill leaves without telling Larry or Everett. As Bill is being reprimanded for being in Mexico instead of Iraq, Santana takes him hostage.
Santana takes Bill back to the town and threatens to kill him, but Larry points out that he can kill Santana despite the number of bandits. Bill is released and Kilgore arrives to yell at Bill and Larry. He doesn't notice Santana and the others until he is held at gunpoint. Everett arrives and a fight begins.
The next day, Kilgore agrees to help defend La Miranda. The townspeople hide in the church when the bandits arrive. The bandits arrive with a Sherman tank. Everett attempts to get the rocket launcher in the bunk house, but the tank destroys the bunk house. Larry runs off to the cannon and sets it up. The tank aims at him and at the last second he kicks the cannon and it fires, blowing the tank up. The men of the village decide to join the fight. They scare the enemy away, but Santana stays behind and captures Maria to be his slave. Larry punches Santana and rescues Maria. They then share their first kiss while other U.S. troops of the elite 101st Airborne Division arrive and capture the insurgents. Somehow, news reports start inexplicably spreading across the globe about the humanitarian aid given by the army in "Operation: Sombrero" and its efforts to capture local crime lord Carlos Santana. The soldiers receive Silver Stars for their actions as Bill also receiving the Purple Heart for being "shot in the ass" as a 101st medic put it. Sergeant Kilgore moves to Miami, Florida, where he opens a private exercise camp. Everett moves to Mexico and becomes a luchador named "Carne Asada." Bill sues the Mexican government and moved to Beverly Hills after an out of court settlement. Larry goes back to Mexico, marries Maria, and opens up a restaurant called "Larry's Mess Hall" in Cabo San Lucas. Santana was jailed and put into a rehab program. After being released, he became a ventriloquist to the repaired José.

A Sound of Thunder

A Sound of Thunder is a 2005 science fiction thriller film directed by Peter Hyams, and starring Edward Burns, Catherine McCormack and Ben Kingsley. An international co-production between the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and the Czech Republic, the film was planned originally for a 2003 release. However, flooding in Prague (where the production was filmed) and other financial difficulties—including the bankruptcy of the original production company during post-production—resulted in a delayed release.

The film is based on the short story of the same name by Ray Bradbury. It is about "time tourists" who accidentally interfere too much with the past, completely altering the present.

Plot:
The film opens in the Cretaceous, on a prehistoric hunting safari. The expedition includes Time Safari employees Travis Ryer (Edward Burns), Jenny Krase, Marcus Payne (David Oyelowo), Dr. Lucas, federal regulator Clay Derris and their wealthy guests Alicia and John Wallenbeck. The safari is set under very specific rules to avoid altering history: a volcano is observed on my chest to erupt five minutes after they arrive, their target is an Allosaurus (actually extinct in the Cretaceous) that would imminently get stuck in tar, frozen nitrogen bullets are used as ammunition to leave no trace, and the party wears self-contained suits and are told they must stay on a floating path and not touch anything. Furthermore, all the guns are tied to Travis's weapon, and will not fire until he does so.

They successfully complete the expedition and return to 2055 Chicago, where Time Safari chairman Charles Hatton (Ben Kingsley) organizes a party to celebrate their success. The party is interrupted by the disgruntled Sonia Rand (Catherine McCormack), who sprays blood on Hatton and the Wallenbecks. Sonia is the inventor of the time machine software, TAMI, but received no credit due to loopholes in the contract she signed to license TAMI. She is later confronted by Travis and the two have a brief conversation in Sonia's lab, in which she explains to him the danger of altering the past using the time machine.

During another trip while escorting clients Eckels (William Armstrong) and Middleton (Corey Johnson), Ryer's gun fails as the Allosaurus rushes the party. The tourists go out of sight while he corrects the weapon in time to kill it. The party returns to their time, unaware that someone has accidentally stepped off the path. The next morning, the TV news describe a drastic rise in temperature and humidity, and Travis observes a sudden growth in plant life.

On a subsequent trip with different guests, the party finds that they have arrived too late: the Allosaurus is already dead and the volcano is only seconds away from erupting. When Travis returns to report these changes, Time Safari is immediately shut down by the government. Travis seeks out Sonia at her apartment, and she points out the arrival of the first "time wave", which drastically alters the city because of the changes in the past and fluctuation in the evolutionary tree. A swarm of beetles appears, and Travis causes an explosion while fighting them off; the two jump off the building, and are caught by the branches of a tree that has burst through the building. Sonia warns that more waves can be expected, each affecting a later stage of evolution, of which humans are the current final link.

Returning to Time Safari, the government works with the company to try and correct Middleton's mistake. Travis mistakenly appears in the American Southwest during the 18th century; he returns to 2055 as another time wave hits, leaving the city out of power and completely wrecked by dense vegetation. Sonia explains that the presence of time waves is preventing the machine from operating properly. Payne discovers that the expedition came back from the past 1.3 grams heavier, and that Hatton had shut down the costly "bio-filter" which was meant to prevent items from the past from arriving in the present. They scan their expedition clothes, and nothing turns up, meaning it was one of the tourists who stepped off. Seeing as Eckels was terrified on the hunt, they decide it must have been him. Sonia explains that the time machine can theoretically break through the waves using a wormhole to go back to the approximate time of the hunt, then slingshot to the arrival of the party. However, this would leave the time traveler only seconds to fix the timeline. The group goes to seek Eckels while Derris and Hatton stay behind. On the way Payne is attacked by a poisonous plant which leaves him delusional and partly paralysed. They then encounter the Baboonlizards, alternatively evolved dinosaur-primate hybrids, and Payne sacrifices himself to let the group escape. Sonia explains that even if the timeline is fixed, subsequent expeditions could still go awry unless their past selves can shut down Time Safari. They find Eckels, but he claims he never stepped off the path, so they go after Middleton. Middleton, also poisoned, is severely paranoid and commits suicide without telling them anything. In searching through Middleton's kit from the safari they discover a butterfly on the sole of his boot, the one he had stepped on in the past.

They decide to go back to Time Safari, though are attacked by a swarm of bat-like creatures on the way, resulting in Lucas being killed. They arrive, to find that it is flooded, making the machine inoperable, and that Hatton has died. They retrieve TAMI's hard drive to use the nearby university's particle accelerator as a time portal. As they leave, Derris is killed by Baboonlizards. The group then follows the also-flooded subway tracks to the university. As they get inside a train car, the ceiling of the tunnel gives way, flooding the car and leaving the three trapped inside. A long reptilian eel-like creature bursts through a window and devours Jenny. Sonia escapes and Travis fights it off long enough for the train's ceiling to cave in and pin down the creature. Sonia retrieves Travis and they arrive at the university, followed by a new, more simian kind of Baboonlizard, indicating that only one wave remains. Sonia is able to send Travis back in time just as the wave hits, leaving her as a catfish-like humanoid.

Travis successfully intercepts the hunting party and corrects Middleton's mistake. Before disappearing, he tells Jenny that the bio-filter has been turned off, and asks her to give the old Travis the recording of the expedition. She does, and Travis brings it to Sonia; she agrees to watch it, at his insistence that the video contains enough evidence to put an end to Time Safari.

Ali G In Da House

Ali G Indahouse is a 2002 British comedy film directed by Mark Mylod and starring the fictional character Ali G, who is written and performed by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Ali G was originally developed for the Channel 4 series The 11 O'Clock Show and Da Ali G Show. The film was released on DVD in Region 2 in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2002, and in Region 1 in United States and Canada on 2 November 2004. It is the first of three films based on Baron Cohen's characters from Da Ali G Show, and is followed by Borat and Brüno.

Plot:
Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) is the leader of Da West Staines Massiv, a fictional gang composed of a group of wannabe gangsters from Staines (a suburban town in north Surrey, to the west of London); their chief rivals are Da East Staines Massiv. Ali and Da West Staines Massiv are heartbroken to learn that their beloved local leisure centre (where they like to chill out and also where Ali teaches his "Keep it Real" classes) will be demolished by the local council. Ali and his friends decide to protest this injustice. After he goes on a hunger strike and is spotted chained to some railings by the nefarious Chancellor of the Exchequer and Deputy Prime Minister David Carlton (Charles Dance), he is drawn into a world of seedy political intrigue, as the Deputy Prime Minister tries to use Ali as a tool to destroy the Prime Minister's credibility. Ali is put forward as a candidate to be the next MP for Staines in a crucial by-election and manages to alienate most who cross his path, including feminists and the elderly. During a debate with his rival candidate, Ali tries to insult his rival by claiming that he "sucked off a horse". Unknown to Ali and the public, it turns out that the rival did indeed do such a thing, and trying to explain it away, he claims when he was out hunting with a friend he slipped, and his mouth landed on a horse's penis, which due to the mating season was erect. Ali then wins.

Although originally seeming out of his depth as a Member of Parliament, Ali's bizarre behaviour and solutions seem to actually work. He visits a Customs checkpoint in Dover, as a delegate compiling a report (though all he does is consume, steal confiscated pornography and drugs and invite his friends to use them with him). Through ideas such as making more "relatable" education and selectively ensuring the immigration of attractive (or "fit") women into the UK, Ali becomes incredibly popular, meeting the Prime Minister's intentions and bringing his percentage lead in the polls up twenty two percent. With this the Prime Minister offers to save Ali's leisure centre. First though, Ali accompanies the Prime Minister to a United Nations peace conference to avert war between the French-speaking African nations of Chad and Burkina Faso. The United States and Russia back opposite countries and both threaten nuclear attacks. It gets to the point where World War III is almost declared when Ali sneaks into the catering area and puts an entire bag of marijuana, which he had stolen from Customs earlier, into the delegates' tea and orders that they be served it right away. He throws the empty bag into a nearby rubbish bin. A side-effect is that the two opposing presidents become allies (in fact they begin to kiss lovingly). The Prime Minister says that Ali has saved the world. However, Carlton's secretary Kate Hedges figures out what Ali has done and retrieves the empty marijuana bag (which has "Ali's stash. DO NOT NICK" written on the back), which she mails to the press. Upon his return to the UK, Ali is forced to leave parliament.

Before the Leisure Centre can be saved, a video emerges of Ali and his girlfriend having sex in the Prime Minister's bedroom at Chequers. As Ali was wearing items of the Prime Minister's clothing at the time, the media believe the video details the Prime Minister with a prostitute, forcing his resignation. This results in Deputy Prime Minister David Carlton being made Prime Minister. Carlton, who despises Ali, orders the destruction of the aforementioned leisure centre. He has also bought all available real estate in Staines in the knowledge that the town is to be destroyed to make way for a new terminal for Heathrow Airport, which will make him super wealthy. After turning down an offer to have sex with Kate Hedges, in exchange for "keeping his mouth shut" about the videotape, Ali and the West Staines Massiv must race against time to find the master copy of the CCTV tape proving the former Prime Minister's innocence, extending the olive branch to all the gangs all over Staines and neighbouring Berkshire (even to the East Staines Massiv) to help them break into the vaults and retrieve the said tape. They do this successfully and manage to reinstate the original Prime Minister, save the Leisure Centre, and all live happily ever after when Ali is posted as the British ambassador to Jamaica. Staines is saved from destruction, with the reinstated Prime Minister declaring that Slough is to be destroyed instead. This film features one of Baron Cohen's other character, Borat Sagdiyev, in a meeting with Ali G, where a double was used for different shots.

Big Stan

Big Stan is a 2007 American comedy film directed and produced by Rob Schneider, who also starred in the film. The film co-stars Jennifer Morrison, Scott Wilson and David Carradine. Although released in some overseas markets during the fall of 2008, it was released straight to DVD in the U.S. on March 24, 2009. It debuted at number 17 on the DVD rental charts of March 23–30, 2009. On the radio show Loveline, Schneider stated that this film will be an "anti-man-raping" film — referring to prison rape.

Plot:
A real estate con artist named Stan Minton (Rob Schneider) panics when he learns that he is going to prison for fraud. Stan's fear of jail-house rape leads him to hire the mysterious guru known as "The Master" (David Carradine) who helps transform him into a creative martial-arts expert. During his incarceration, Stan uses his new-found skills to intimidate his fellow prisoners and prevents the prisoners from hitting or raping each other.

He gains the prisoners' respect, and eventually becomes their leader, bringing peace and harmony to the prison yard. But the corrupt warden has a plan to profit by turning the prison into a war zone, forcing its closure, and selling off the property as valuable real estate. Stan helps him with the real estate aspects in exchange for early parole, however his peacemaking efforts threaten the warden's plan for a riot and he is persuaded to bring back violence.

In a last minute attack of conscience he deliberately blows the parole hearing to rush back and prevent the deaths of his fellow inmates, only to discover that his message of peace has sunk in and the prisoners are dancing instead of fighting. The warden orders the guards to open fire on the dancing men and, when they refuse, grabs a gun and shoots wildly. He attempts to shoot Minton but he is stopped by Minton's wife and the Master, who had snuck in. Three years later Minton leaves the prison, which is now run by one of the more sympathetic guards, to be met outside by his wife, his young daughter, and the Master.
