  • 1. THE FINAL DESTINATION:

    Not the final destination at all as sequels to the original have been coming out regularly since the year 2000. The original premise holds true here as a young man has a premonition of disaster during a NASCAR-type race, he saves his friends, but then they are tracked down one-by-one in a series of bizarre deaths.  You can’t cheat the reaper.  This is the first of four not shot in B.C.  A largely no-name cast participates, as many of them don’t last all that long. Rated 18A

  • 2. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS:

    Based on the children’s book of the same title, this animated feature that has food dropping out of the sky to solve hunger problems, features the voices of James Caan, Neil Patrick Harris, and Anna Faris.  Rated G

  • 3. LOST CITY RAIDERS:

    A made-for-US-Cable film with the same premise as Kevin Costner’s Waterworld – global warming peaked 40 years before, and now just the tops of mountains, and the tops of such things as the Statue of Liberty peek out above the water.  Are things about to get worse?  Good cast with James Brolin, Ian Somerhalder (Lost) and Ben Cross. Sci-fi buffs will like this one and wonder why it didn’t get theatrical release.  Not Rated.

  • 4. LOST CITY RAIDERS:

    Although it doesn’t have the same cachet as a big-screen movie, this one takes a different spin on Global Warming and does a good job of painting the ultimate picture.  Made in South Africa with a German producer
WATERWORLD (1995): 

It has been 15 years since Kevin Costner’s critically-drubbed extravaganza – although it didn’t have a Global Warming message … it could have!  Prior to Titanic, the most expensive film ever made – and one of the biggest financial disasters ever
