“Galaxy Quest” is a shlocky sci-fi TV show, now in reruns, its cast relegated to signing autographs at annoying fanboy conventions. Enter the Thermians, an alien race who are on the verge of being wiped out by an overpowering enemy. Having crafted a replica of the “Galaxy Quest” ship, the Thermians, who believe the show was the truth, now expect these bumbling actors to save the day. This epic spoof of “Star Trek” works wonders not just from its affectionate send up of television cliches, but from its stellar cast that included Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman, but also future stars in Sam Rockwell and Rainn Wilson (let’s not forget Enrico Colantoni’s amazing turn as Mathesar, leader of the Thermians). GALAXY QUEST’s script is so great David Mamet considers it one of four “perfect’ films in Hollywood history.

A maxed-out mix of 1980s supernatural horror and slasher excess, MAUSOLEUM is a stylish, sleazy, and outrageously gory production, featuring a series of imaginative death scenes orchestrated by effects wizard John Carl Buechler (RE-ANIMATOR, GHOULIES). A woman (Bobbie Bresee, EVIL SPAWN) is infected with some no-good Satanic darkness upon visiting her mother’s grave, and she soon embarks on a logic-defying spree of telekinetic head-burstings, sexual mutilations, and high-octane unholy transformations, including one memorable segment where her breasts become carnivorous goblin heads. This inevitably leads to some stress in her relationship with her husband, played by former child evangelist Marjoe Gortner, as well as SANFORD & SON’s wisecracking LaWanda Page as the maid who won’t take shit from demons or anyone else. Throw in one crazed gardener, Mephisto-spawned lazerlight, and a brutal disregard for all rational motives, and you’re in for the best cinematic aneurysm of your life.

And now it's up to Sulley and Mike to send Boo back in her door before anybody finds out, especially two evil villains such as Sulley's main rival as a scarer, chameleon-like Randall (a monster that Boo is very afraid of), who possesses the ability to change the color of his skin, and Mike and Sulley's boss Mr. Waternoose, the chairman and chief executive officer of Monsters, Inc.

In 1920, one brilliant movie jolted the postwar masses and catapulted the movement known as German Expressionism into film history. That movie was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a visionary team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community. This authoritative edition of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 4K restoration scanned from the (mostly) preserved camera negative at the German Federal Film Archive.
Charlie Chaplin paid tribute to the acrobats and pantomimists who inspired his virtuoso pratfalls in this gag-packed comedy, an uproarious high-wire act that ranks among the director-performer's finest work - and the last film he made during the silent era at the peak of his comic powers. After being mistaken for a pickpocket, Chaplin's Tramp flees into the ring of a traveling circus and soon becomes the star of the show, falling for the troupe's bareback rider along the way.
