In addition to all of the other challenges Dr. Hall faces, he's also going against the flow as humanity races south to warmer climes, and he's nearly the only one going north...

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) (K3) Action / Comedy / Adventure / Family / Fantasy / Sci-Fi
Starring Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara Ricardo Montalban. Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Of course, director Robert Rodriguez ("Once Upon a Time in Mexico") is notorious for being fast-paced and furious. He is perfect for material such as this. It's just a question of whether we, as a viewer, can put up with one long 90-minute 3-D theme park ride/videogame imitation without taking part in the process. Videogames are, after all, essentially interactive -- they wouldn't be entertaining if we just watched the characters move about on the screen, which is exactly what happens here.

-------------------------------
Wonderland (K6) 2003 Crime / Mystery / Drama / Thriller
Starring Val Kilmer, Kate Bosworth, Lisa Kudrow, Josh Lucas, and Tim Blake Nelson. Directed by James Cox
The movie looks at the events that led up to the infamous Wonderland Murders in Los Angeles in July, 1981, as well as the investigation. What is known for sure is that 4 people were murdered in their Wonderland Avenue apartment, apparently as retaliation for their robbery of a notorious L.A. nightclub magnate. What is not known is what part mature content star John Holmes played in the murders. The police investigation relies on the testimony of two men: Holmes himself, and a biker who took part in the robbery, whose girlfriend was one of the victims. The biker says Holmes had to have taken part directly in the murders (and, in fact, his palm print was found at the crime scene). However, Holmes claims that he only set up the robbery and the hit, but wasn't in the apartment at the time of the murders. Now the police are caught in a dilemma. But whom are they supposed to believe: a biker with a heroin habit who has a personal ax to grind against Holmes, or a mature content star with a notorious cocaine habit who is also known in many circles as a pathological liar?
