My Big Fat Greek Wedding Feature

• TESTED

It's not surprising that My Big Fat Greek Wedding grew more popular over the course of its theatrical release (whereas most blockbusters open big and then drop precipitously)--not only does it have believable situations and engaging characters, but these characters (particularly our romantic heroine, Toula, played by writer and performer Nia Vardalos) look like actual human beings instead of plastic movie stars. The result is the very accessible tale of Greek-American Toula (whose family sees her as over the hill at 30), who falls for a WASPy guy named Ian (John Corbett) and then has to endure the outrage, doubt, and ultimate acceptance of her deeply ethnically centered family. The actors invest their wildly stereotypical portrayals with sincerity and compassion, giving the movie an honest warmth instead of Hollywood schmaltz. But My Big Fat Greek Wedding ultimately succeeds because of Vardalos; her intelligent, down-to-earth presence and charm carry the film. --Bret Fetzer


Toula is 30. And unmarried. Which means as a nice Greek girl -- she's a failure. All her cousins did the right thing -- married Greek boys and made Greek babies. So everyone worries: what will become of Toula? Then one day she sees the ultimate unattainable guy and realizes the only way her life will get better is if he gets away from her big, fat Greek family. Toula escapes from the family restaurant. She exchanges her seating hostess jacket for a college diploma, convinces her aunt to give her a new job, and trades in her coke-bottle glasses for contact lenses, just in time for "him" to walk back into her life. Ian Miller is tall, handsome but defnitely not Greek. Their courtship is an Olympian culture clash. Can Ian handle Toula, her parents, her aunts, uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek heritage? Will Toula discover the love she's been missing right in the heart of her big, fat family? One thing is for sure, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, with Ian's proposal Toula is headed for her big, fat Greek wedding.

The popularity of animated programming surged in the 1990's and Warner Brothers' answer to films like Disney's The Little Mermaid and the increasingly popular Nickelodeon was Tiny Toons, a series of afternoon cartoons aimed squarely at kids. While drawing inspiration from the Looney Tunes cartoons of the 1930's through 1960's, Tiny Toons featured a cast of all-new animated personalities in modern settings and situations. Buster Bunny and Babs Bunny (no relation) reside in Acme Acres, home of Acme Looniversity where Looney Tunes greats Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam make the occasional appearance as professors. Buster and Babs, along with their many friends including Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig, are committed to foiling the ever-greedy plans of rich boy Montana Max, struggling to escape the overly-loving clutches of Elmyra Duff, and generally getting themselves into one crazy predicament after another. Silly humor; parodies of well-known movies, television shows, and fairytales; and sly social commentary abound in these 35 adventure tales. Kids ages 5 years and older will love this series and adults will thoroughly enjoy episodes like The Twilight Zone spoof "The Acme Acres Zone" and Star Wars spoof "A Quack in the Quarks" as well as the wacky appearances of Looney Tunes characters from their own childhoods. The bonus "From Looney Tunes to Tiny Toons: A Wacky Evolution" features interviews with executive producer Jean MacCurdy, several story editors, and a host of others involved in Tiny Toons and details the vision for Tiny Toons as well as some background on the original Looney Tunes cartoons and its creators. --Tami Horiuchi

Inception Feature

• Condition: New
• Format: DVD
• AC-3; Color; Dolby; DVD; Widescreen; Subtitled; NTSC

Science-fiction features often involve time travel or strange worlds. In Christopher Nolan's heist thriller Inception, the concepts converge through the realm of dreams. With his trusty associate, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a fine foil), Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio, in a role that recalls Shutter Island) steals ideas for clients from the minds of competitors. Fallen on hard times, he's become estranged from his family and hopes one last extraction will set things right. Along comes Saito (Ken Watanabe, Batman Begins), who hires Cobb to plant an idea in the mind of energy magnate Fischer (Cillian Murphy, another Batman vet). Less experienced with the art of inception, Cobb ropes in an architecture student (Ellen Page), a chemist (Dileep Rao), and a forger (Tom Hardy) for assistance. During their preparations, Page's Ariadne stumbles upon a secret that may jeopardize the entire operation: Cobb is losing the ability to control his subconscious (Marion Cotillard plays a figure from his past). Until this point, the scenario can be confusing, since the action begins inside a dream before returning to reality. Then, after the team gets to Fischer, three dream states play out at once, resulting in four narratives, including events in the real world. It all makes sense within the rules Nolan establishes, but the impatient may find themselves much like Guy Pearce in Memento: completely confused. If Inception doesn't hit the same heights as The Dark Knight, Nolan's finest film to date, it's a gravity-defying spectacular to rival Dark City and The Matrix. --Kathleen C. Fennessy


Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in this sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the subconscious during the mind’s vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but also has made him a fugitive and cost him dearly. Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.
