ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, November 9 -- MONDAY, November 15

BEFORE SUNSET
Nine years ago, director Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise"
introduced American twentysomething Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and
French twentysomething Celine (Julie Delpy). The two met on a
train to Vienna, and spent the night together wandering around
the city, talking, and falling for each other. They parted ways,
vowing to meet in Vienna in six months. This outing picks up
where the 1994 film left off. In Paris promoting a novel he has
written about their one perfect night together (the two were
never reunited), Jesse is dumbfounded when Celine shows up at his
last bookstore interview. With just a few hours remaining before
his flight back to the States, Jesse and Celine meander through
Paris, returning in no time at all to their playful banter,
flirtation, and intense conversations about life, love, and the
state of the world. Although the sexual tension is palpable,
Jesse is married -- albeit unhappily -- and has a young son, and
Celine has a boyfriend. Are these thirtysomethings really soul
mates, or ships destined to keep passing in the night? Director:
Richard Linklater. Stars: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy. 2004, CC,
MPAA rating: R, 80 min., Drama, Box office gross: $5.174 million,
Warner, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: Day & Date.

CLEARING, THE
Suspense thriller about the American Dream gone awry. Wayne and
Eileen Hayes (Robert Redford, Helen Mirren) appear to be living a
perfect life. But all illusions are shattered when Wayne is
kidnapped in broad daylight from the Hayes' peaceful Pittsburgh
estate. Under the microscope of a probing FBI investigation and
her own painstaking introspection, Eileen also becomes a victim.
The interrogation introduces a life underneath outward
appearances; the suspicions, the secrets, the inadequacies, and
what can happen along the way to achieving the American dream.
Suddenly the man who, at one point in his life, prided himself on
being a cunning negotiator finds his fate resting in the hands of
a kidnapper (Willem Dafoe) who has nothing to lose and everything
to gain. Will he succeed in the most important negotiation ever
... for his life? Director: Pieter Jan Brugge. Stars: Robert
Redford, Helen Mirren, Willem Dafoe. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 91
min., Thriller, Box office gross: $5.736 million, Fox, No VHS
SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: Day & Date.

DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN, A
Witty, satirical "A Day Without A Mexican" is the first release
from Mexico City's Televisa Cine, and was directed and written by
Rock en Espanol star Sergio Arau (son of famed director Alfonso
Arau). "A Day Without a Mexican" begins one morning when
Californians wake up to find that one third of their population
has disappeared. A strange pink fog surrounds the state and
communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. As
the day progresses, it's discovered the single characteristic
that links the missing is their Hispanic background. Californians
are in shock. The economic, political and social implications of
this disaster threaten their very way of life. The film delves
into the suddenly disrupted lives of four characters: Mary Jo
Quintana (Maureen Flanigan), teacher and housewife; Senator
Abercrombie (John Getz), hastily promoted to Governor; Louise
McClaire (Muse Watson), ranch owner and agribusiness
representative; and Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi) reporter,
and apparently the only Latina left behind. For all of them, the
Hispanic void immediately throws their lives into chaos. Theories
abound to explain the phenomena: UFO kidnappings, biological
terrorism, maybe even The Rapture. Or perhaps, after being taken
for granted for so long, the Latino population simply up and
left. As time passes, California begins to deteriorate. Garbage
piles up, crops rot on the vine, children run wild, businesses
close. The realization finally dawns on the remaining
Californians of the incredible debt owed to those missing
Latinos; the cooks, gardeners, policemen, farm and construction
workers, athletes and most importantly, the consumers, who make
and keep the state running. Director: Sergio Arau. Stars:
Caroline Aaron, Tony Abatemarco, Melinda Allen, Frankie J.
Allison, Fernando Arau, Yareli Arizmendi. 2004, CC, MPAA rating:
R, 100 min., Satire, Box office gross: $3.538 million, Xenon
Pictures, $14.99 VHS SRP. DVD: Day & Date.

I DRINK YOUR BLOOD
Quickie exploitation film that is so bad it's good. A group of
satan-worshipping, acid-dropping hippies invade a small town
about to be deserted due to the construction of a nearby dam. The
hippies get high, have sex, and beat up an old man. To get
revenge, the old man's grandson injects the saliva of a rabid dog
into some meat pies the hippies buy, and the hippies all get
rabies -- and promptly turn into mindless killing machines, going
after the remaining townspeople and dam workers. Everyone gets
infected and -- in zombie-like fashion -- they start killing each
other, with plenty of gore, blood and flying body parts. The
acting is unprofessional and stilted, the story line corny as all
get out. But the gore is great for its time -- "I Drink Your
Blood" was the first film ever to get a X-rating solely for
violence -- and its incredibly fun to watch. Not to be missed.
Director: David Durston. Stars: Bhaskar, John Damon, Lynn Lowry,
Tyde Kierney. 1971, CC, MPAA rating: NR, 90 minutes, Horror, MTI
Home Video. DVD: Only.

JU-ON: THE GRUDGE
Creepy Japanese horror flick by director Takashi Shimizu. A
series of people are killed by a violent curse known as Ju-on.
Born of a grudge held by someone who suffers a violent and angry
death, the curse is transmitted to the next victim each time
someone dies. A volunteer home-care worker, Nishina Rika, comes
to call at a house occupied by a bed-ridden old lady, Tokunaga
Sachie. There is a strange atmosphere in the house and Sachie is
obviously terrified of something. On the second floor Rika finds
a closet shut with duct tape, in which hides a boy holding a
black cat. Startled, she asks the boy's name, and he answers
'Toshio.' Rika sees an angry spirit and faints while Sachie dies,
raving in terror. Several days earlier Sachie's son Katsuya
returns home from work to find his wife Kazumi collapsed in their
bedroom, unresponsive. Sensing something behind him, he turns to
see a boy with pure-white skin standing there. The boy's mouth
opens, and we hear the scream of a cat. Katsuya's eyes glaze, as
if he is in the grip of something. At this point his younger
sister, Hitomi, arrives, but he tells her that she's come at a
bad time and sends her away. On the day that Rika comes to call,
Hitomi is attacked at work by an angry spirit, escapes, and
witnesses the death of a security guard who has gone to
investigate. She flees to her apartment. The doorbell sounds and
she looks through the peep-hole to see her brother Katsuya
standing there. But when she opens the door she finds no one.
Sachie's body is discovered, and with her Rika, who is in shock
but otherwise unhurt. In the crawlway under the roof are found
the bodies of Katsuya and Kazumi. The police investigators,
finding that a whole series of people have gone missing from this
house, visit the former detective who handled the first of these
incidents, in which a man named Saeki Takeo murdered his wife
Kayako. Their son, Toshio, who was six years old at the time, had
never been found. It is the angry and growing spirit of Kayako's
vengeance that infects the house. Killing Toyama, his daughter
Izumi and Rika's friend Mariko, the ring of horror grows to
include all who are involved. The "Ju-on" spirit now approaches
Rika as, with a shudder, she realizes the truth. Timed for the
October 22 release of the U.S. remake, also directed by Shimizu,
and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr and Clea DuVall.
Director: Takashi Shimizu. Stars: Megumi Okina, Misaki Ito, Misa
Uehara, Yui Ichikawa, Kanji Tsuda, Kayoko Shibata. 2004, CC, MPAA
rating: R, 92 min., Horror Thriller, Box office gross: $0.256
million, Lions Gate, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: Day &
Date.

generated-animated stories about the importance of opening your
heart to the true spirit of Christmas: "Belles on Ice,"
"Christmas: Impossible," "Christmas Maximus," "Donald's Gift,"
and "Mickey's Dog-gone Christmas." Director: Matthew O'Callaghan.
2004, CC, MPAA rating: G, 68 min., Animated, Disney, $24.99 VHS

STEPFORD WIVES, THE
Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman) thinks she's made it to the top
of her world. The youngest president in the history of the EBS
television network, she also has an attentive husband and two
beautiful children. On the surface, Joanna's life appears to be,
well, perfect -- until one catastrophic day when it all comes
crashing down around her. Fired from her job, her perfect
marriage in trouble, unable to remember where her kids go to
school, Joanna is starting to look like a candidate for
electroshock therapy. There's nothing like a nervous breakdown to
make Joanna and her husband Walter (Matthew Broderick) reexamine
their priorities, pack up the family and make a fresh start in
the idyllic suburban paradise of Stepford, Connecticut. But
something strange is happening in the quaint little town of
Stepford, and Joanna is suspicious. So is Bobbie Markowitz (Bette
Midler), who recently moved to town with her irascible frat-
boyish husband Dave (Jon Lovitz). It's the wives. They're all
like Claire Wellington (Glenn Close) -- beautiful, happy and
unusually creative with crafts. They can bake a cake, paint the
house, mow the lawn, play with the kids and still greet their
husbands in lacy lingerie at the end of a busy day. Disturbed by
the stunning but subservient women she meets in Stepford, Joanna
grows increasingly uneasy. And anyone who rocks the boat in
Stepford is ripe for ... replacement? Comic remake of the 1975
thriller. Director: Frank Oz. Stars: Nicole Kidman, Matthew
Broderick, Bette Midler, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Jon
Lovitz. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 93 min., Sci-Fi thriller,
Box office gross: $59.448 million, Paramount, No VHS SRP, Priced
for rental. DVD: Day & Date.
