ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, August 2 -- MONDAY, August 8

ALEXANDER
Oliver Stone's historical saga charts the life and legend of one
of the greatest figures in world history: Alexander the Great, a
relentless conqueror who by the age of 32 had amassed the
greatest empire the world had ever seen. Past and present collide
to form the puzzle of the protagonist, a tapestry of triumphs and
tragedies in which childhood memories and Alexander's rise to
power unfold side by side with the later day expansion of his
empire, and its ultimate downfall. From his youth, fueled by
dreams of glory and adventure, to his lonely and mysterious death
as a ruler of a vast state, from the tumultuous relationship with
his parents -- a powerful king and a queen determined to put her
child on the throne at any cost -- to the rousing brotherly bonds
with his closest companions and vast army, as they fought from
the sun-scorched battlefields of the Persian Empire across the
snow-peaked mountains of India, the film chronicles Alexander's
journey to become a living legend, a man who embraced the ideal
that power has a destiny. His extraordinary journey begins when
Alexander launches his invasion from Macedonia, first leading his
armies to wrest Western Asia from Persian control, then driving
his enormously outnumbered troops to an impossible victory over
the mighty Persian army itself. Alexander expands his empire into
the unknown lands of modern day Central Asia before venturing
across the Hindu Kush, further than any Westerner had ever gone,
continuing his conquests into the exotic world of India.
Incredibly, and possibly unique in the annals of military
history, Alexander was never defeated in battle. He relentlessly
pushes his army across the sands, mountains and jungles of
strange and mysterious lands, conquering every enemy who dares
oppose him and weathering near-mutiny by his own men. Director:
Oliver Stone. Stars: Colin Farrell, Anthony Hopkins, David
Bedella, Jessie Kamm, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Christopher
Plummer, Rosario Dawson. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 175 min.,
Adventure, Box office gross: $13.687 million, Warner, No VHS SRP,
Priced for rental.

CYPHER
An exciting, fast-moving, innovative tale that ranks right up
there with the best of Philip K. Dick. Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy
Northam) is an out of work accountant who is stuck in an unhappy
life in the suburbs -- with a miserable marriage -- and dreams of
one day sailing away to a life of freedom and excitement. Seeking
an escape from his lackluster existence, he decides to join the
multinational corporation Digicorp to become a company spy.
Adopting a new identity, he is sent to spy on various trade
conventions where he secretly records the proceedings and
transmits the information to his ruthless, intimidating boss, Ed
Finster (Nigel Bennett). While carrying out his assignments
Morgan encounters an elusive and beautiful woman, Rita (Lucy
Liu), who tells him that his Digicorp activities have been a ruse
to brainwash him and others like him. Morgan accepts her anti-
brainwashing drugs and ultimately is forced to work for Frank
Calloway (Timothy Webber), a seemingly friendly agent from rival
company Sunways. As a double agent, Morgan's survival lies deep
in his mind and actions, but he begins to have difficulty
distinguishing reality from the visions that plague him. Morgan's
world becomes a quagmire where the lines are blurred, where
characters and dreams become truths -- or fictions. Morgan knows
he must escape this nightmare situation and his only hope is
Rita, who works for an enigmatic deep cover operative named
Sebastian Rooks. To be saved by Rooks, Morgan must complete a
final assignment: stealing a data file from a secured underground
network. Only then can he discover the truth behind the
brainwashing, his mission, who he really is, Rita's motives and
Rook's identity. The film -- never released theatrically, though
it should have been -- is a paranoid look at control and
subjective reality, spinning the viewer from one realm to
another. A winner. Director: Vincenzo Natali. Stars: Jeremy
Northam, Lucy Liu, Nigel Bennett, Timothy Webber. 2002, CC, MPAA
rating: R, 96 min., Science Fiction, Miramax. DVD only.

GUESS WHO
When Theresa (Zoe Saldana) brings fiance Simon Green (Ashton
Kutcher) home for her parents' 25th wedding anniversary, she's
neglected to mention one tiny detail -- he's white. Determined to
break his daughter's engagement, Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) does
everything he can to make Simon feel "apart" of the family, from
running his credit report to locking him in the basement at
night. But when Percy gleefully exposes Simon's most embarrassing
secret, it leads to an outrageous series of comic complications
that only goes to prove that with a dad like Percy Jones, father
doesn't always know best. Director: Kevin Rodney Sullivan. Stars:
Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher, Zoe Saldana, Judith Scott, Hal
Williams, Kellee Stewart, Robert Curtis-Brown. 2005, CC, MPAA
rating: PG-13, 105 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $67.671
million, Sony, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
