"A delightful romantic escapade that will win your heart." - Pat Collins WWOR-TV. Mystery novelist Phillip Blackwood has come down with writer's block the size of Manhattan. Frantically, he hits the courtrooms for an inspiration...and is zapped with a doozey. A mysterious Romanian beauty arraigned for murder arouses both his creative and romantic impulses. So Blackwood becomes Her Alibi and whisks her off to his Connecticut home. Now she's safe. But is she? What if she really is a murderer? Who are the gray-suited men lurking outside? Is she KGB? CIA? IRS? To find out, lovestruck Blackwood must rely on all his sleuthing know-how. And hope that Cupid isn't packing heat. Tom Selleck and Paulina Porizkova team in Her Alibi, a frothy blend of mystery, comedy and romance directed by Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies, Crimes of the Heart). Selleck (Magnum, P.I., Three Men and a Baby, High Road to China) exudes urbane charm as Blackwood, the writer who's about to bumble through the crime of his life. As the source of that intrigue, lovely Porizkova displays the photogenic ease and enchantment that have made her the cover girl for more than 300 international magazines. For each star, the role marks a change. "Blackwood is a guy unlike Magnum or Peter Mitchell, my character in Three Men and a Baby," Selleck says. "For example, he hasn't been in a fistfight since he was six." For Porizkova, "the interplay reminds me of Cary Grant's romantic comedies. This movie has light, fun moments, while Anna (Porizkova's debut film) was dark." Of course, Selleck's Blackwood isn't the only one having the crime of his life. You will, too. Because in Her Alibi, falling in love can be murder!

In this full-speed futuristic epic, Mel Gibson (The Road Warrior, Gallipoli, The Year of Living Dangerously) introduces the character of Max - and the bleak, decaying landscape of the post-nuclear future that continues in "The Road Warrior."

"An uproarious ghost comedy. There hasn't been anything like it since Ghostbusters." - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times. What's a couple of likable, home-loving ghosts to do when their New England home is taken over by trendy New Yorkers? "Let's get that Beetlejuice person," they decide. So they contract the afterlife's freelance bio-exorcist to scare off the family. And everyone gets more than he, she of it bargained for! You'll get more, too. More comedy. More scares. More outlandish, gleeful wanna-see fun than ever. Because Beetlejuice is the name in laughter from the hereafter...and for a long, long time to come. Director Tim Burton, who guided Pee-wee Herman in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, now teams with another irrepressible talent, Michael Keaton (Night Shift, Mr. Mom, Clean and Sober). As Beetlejuice, Keaton is a jangled juggernaut of jokes, jolts and jive. He hurls one-liners. Spins into grotesque forms. Gobbles insects. And just can't leave the ladies (living or dead) alone. Alec Baldwin (Knots Landing, Married To The Mob), Geena Davis (The Fly, The Accidental Tourist) and more join Keaton in a cast that puts the super in this supernatural spoof. Starring, too, is the movie's look. Burton and his crew create a fantastically inventive, screwloose view of this world - and the next. You'll see monsters stalk, corpses wither, tentacles snatch and an afterlife Waiting Room crammed with a goofy, ghoulish assortment of the recently deceased. Exorcise you right to fun. Say the "B" word three times and "get that Beetlejuice person" for yourself. You'll have a wonderful Day-O!

"He just dropped in for a quick bite." - Bond goes fist to mouth against Jaws. "A hell of a ride!" - Frank Rich, The New York Times. Nobody does it better than Bond, and he proves it once more in this explosively entertaining action-adventure! Roger Moore portrays the immortal action hero with wit, style, and steely determination. When a massive underwater craft abducts U.S. and Russian submarines, global tensions are heightened to the brink of war. In order to find the true culprit, James Bond joins forces with beautiful Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach). Together they follow a trail that leads to Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens), a powerful shipping magnate who is implementing a horrific scheme for world domination. Bond struggles to foil the plot, but Stromberg has provided him with a most lethal adversary: Jaws (Richard Kiel), a seemingly indestructible steel-toothed giant. Agent 007's adventure takes him to the Egyptian pyramids, under the sea and to a mountaintop ski chase that builds to one of the most amazing stunts ever filmed. Climaxing with a magnificent, thrill-packed finale in Stromberg's secret submarine base (which required the construction of the world's largest soundstage), The Spy Who Loved Me is a relentlessly exciting action spectacular with romance, humor, and nail-biting suspense.

It's funny how far people will go to win love. In the case of concert promoter Micky O'Neill, it's winningly, warmly, downright hilarious. Newcomer Adrian Dunbar plays Micky and Ned Beatty is Josef Locke, the reclusive superstar tenor Micky seeks to lure out of retirement in Hear My Song, a joyful comedy about life's possibilities...and the triumph over love's apparent impossibilities. Micky's sure that reeling in Locke will help him win back the affections of the woman he's loved and lost. But Locke, a fugitive from the tax collector for 25 years, is as stubborn as he is talented - a situation which makes Hear My Song as comical as it is charming.

The mob says take a fall. The Fighting McGuinns say take a hike! They don't call 'em the Fighting McGuinns for nothing. Dan , Gramps and college-aged Eddie know what it's like to take a punch and hammer out a half-dozen in return. Put their brains in a rock and it would come out swinging. Naturally, with these generations of ring battlers living under one roof, familial sparks are bound to fly. But put Eddie in the ring and the senior McGuinns in his corner and you don't just have Rocky revisited; you've got boxing's own version of the Allied troops on D-Day. Movie veteran Gene Hackman stars in Split Decisions as Dan, a father who puts aside family squabbles to train son Eddie for a ring vendetta against the mob. It's a rich and resonant role for the actor in a year full of treasurable Hackman performances: Bat-21, Full Moon in Blue Water and especially his Oscar-nominated work in the explosive Mississippi Burning. Craig Sheffer (Some Kind of Wonderful), Jennifer Beals (Flashdance) and Jeff Fahey (Psycho III) add more sizzle to the movie's portrait of life on the front burner of New York's Hell's Kitchen. And the boxing sequences are ballets of brute force, staged by old pro Paul Stader (who trained Robert Ryan for 1949's fight classic The Set-Up and Carl Weathers for 1976's Rocky) and stunningly filmed by director David Drury (Defense of the Realm), who was once one of England's top amateur boxers. With top stars, real-life grit and real-ring thrills, Split Decisions is an uncontested winner.
