Merlin, Alice in Wonderland, Noah's Arc, Cleopatra, and Gulliver's Travels
Merlin
In a time long past, when magic was fading from the world of men, the malevolent sorceress Mab (Miranda Richardson) summoned forth a mighty wizard to keep the power of the Old Ways alive. The wizard's name. . .was Merlin (Sam Neill). But when his heart is touched by the love of the beautiful Nimue(Isabella Rossellini), Merlin turns away from Mab's dark enchantments. Allying himself with the young warrior who will rise to become the legendary King Arthur, Merlin pledges his mystic skills to Arthur's Visionary cause: Bringing peace and justice to the realm haunted by monsters and ravaged by war and setting the stage for the ultimate clash of Good versus Evil. With spellbinding performances from a stellar international cast and spectacular special effects for Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Merlin conjures up an epic Golden Age of wondrous magic, supernatural passions and unforgettable adventure!
Alice In Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll's masterpiece of fantasy, radiates with a star-studded cast, overflowing charm and dazzling effects! The adventure begins as Alice slips down a rabbit hole and tumbles into Wonderland - A dream land where the official language is Jabberwocky and the official sense is nonsense?
Meet a zany cast of characters: the tricky Cheshire Cat (Whoopie Goldberg), the wild Mad Hatter (Martin Short) at his very strange tea party, play silly word games with Major Caterpillar (Ben Kingsley) or stop to chat with the talking flowers. Drinking magic potions of sampling mystical mushrooms changes Alice into many different forms until she finds herself in the croquet court of the Queen of Hearts (Miranda Richardson) - where the Knave stands accused of stealing tarts. When Alice is called as a witness in the comical trial that follows, she confuses the King and Queen, who banish her to the real world, where she returns as an inspired and changed young woman. Alice in Wonderland's vivid landscapes and unforgettable characters will delight and mesmerize everyone who sees it.
Noah's Ark
One of the most powerful and awe-inspiring epics of all time is brilliantly brought to life by an outstanding cast including Academy Award - winners Jon Voight and Mary Steenburgen. With little help from the outside world, the brave and gentle Noah goes against all odds and builds an extraordinary ark to protect his family from the threat of a great flood. Carefully gathering all of the earth's animals two by two, he sets sail through uncharted waters and embarks upon one of the most amazing and inspiring journeys mankind has ever known.
Full of action, adventure and true heroism, this time-honored story, beloved by generations of children, features exceptional special effects, outstanding acting and excellent entertainment for you entire family.
Cleopatra
For over two-thousand years, the legend of the beautiful Queen of the Nile has stirred the imagination. Ascending to the throne at a mere seventeen years of age, Cleopatra (Leonor Varela) ruled as Egypt's last Pharaoh for twenty-two years. Easily winning the heart of Roman Emperor Julius Caesar (Timothy Dalton), they embark on a two-month voyage down the Nile and quickly become devoted to each other. She bears him a child whom they call Caesarion.
Keeping a close eye on the relationship, the Roman Senators conspire to assassinate Caesar. His death devastates Cleopatra. In her grief, she turns to Marc Antony (Billy Zane), a Roman she can trust. Their alliance angers Rome even more and war is declared on Egypt. Cleopatra and Marc Antony's fate becomes sealed in each other's arms as the Roman army closes in. Beautifully directed and stunningly photographed, CLEOPATRA reigns as one of the greatest love stories in history.
Gulliver's Travels
Once you've visited Gulliver's worlds, your own will never be the same. With dazzling special effects by Jim Henson Productions, plus a top cast that includes Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Peter O'Toole and James Fox, one of the world's great stories comes to the screen in an acclaimed production that "accomplishes the astonishing feat of modernizing a classic for every audience".
