ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, October 11 -- MONDAY, October 17

BOMB THE SYSTEM
Winner of multiple awards including Best Feature at the San
Francisco Independent Film Festival and Best First Feature at the
Independent Spirit Awards, this film is the first in over 20
years to focus on the subject of graffiti -- the only art form
that can also be considered a crime in the same breath. A central
idea of the film is the idea of "bombing" -- the art of "tagging"
clean walls with your signature in spray paint -- also commonly
known as graffiti. A subculture that began in New York City more
than 20 years ago, bombing has spread to cities nationwide and
has spawned legends, like "Smith", an infamous bomber known for
tagging the Brooklyn Bridge -- a national monument. The film
focuses on one bomber, Anthony "Blest" (Mark Webber) -- one of
the most talented and notorious graffiti artists in New York
City, known for his heavy partying and tagging prowess with his
signature "Blest." Despite the tragic loss of his older brother
during a nightly bombing foray with his graffiti crew, Anthony
and the other members of his crew -- Justin (Gano Grills) and
Kevin (Jade Yorker) -- have an insatiable addiction to tagging.
Although he does his best to avoid run-ins with cops and hostile
rival crews, he can't avoid the pressures from his everyday life,
including his mother who wants him to go to college and his girl,
who wants him to move away with her. When the cops begin to pose
a physical threat, Anthony and his crew retaliate and intensify
their bomb excursions, declaring an all out war on the city. A
confrontation is inevitable and when it happens, a tragedy
results that pushes Anthony into making a decision that has even
darker consequences. Filmed entirely in NYC, the film is a
complex coming of age story set against the diverse background of
New York -- from the dirtiest alley in Chinatown to the top of
the Brooklyn Bridge, from the suburbs of Queens to the multi-
million dollar lofts of Tribeca. Director: Adam Bhala Lough.
Stars: Mark Webber, Gano Grills, Jade Yorker. 2005, CC, MPAA
rating: R, 91 min., Drama, Box office gross: $0.014 million, Palm
Pictures, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY
"The Bridge of San Luis Rey" opens in the aftermath of an
inexplicable tragedy -- a tiny foot-bridge in Peru breaks, and
five people hurtle to their deaths. For Brother Juniper (Gabriel
Byrne), a humble monk who witnesses the catastrophe, the question
in inescapable. Why those five? Suddenly, Brother Juniper is
committed to discover what manner of lives they led -- and
whether it was divine intervention or a capricious fate that took
their lives. Set in early 18th century Peru at the height of the
Spanish Inquisition, this timeless story chronicles the
intertwined life stories of the victims, taking us through worlds
as diverse as the theatres, convents, brothels and docks of Lima,
Peru, to sea-faring explorations patronized by the courts of
Madrid, Spain. Director: Mary McGuckian. Stars: F. Murray
Abraham, Kathy Bates, Gabriel Byrne, Geraldine Chaplin, Robert De
Niro, Emilie Dequenne, Adriana Dominguez, Harvey Keitel. 2005,
CC, MPAA rating: PG, 120 min., Drama, Box office gross: $0.042
million, New Line, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

HIGH TENSION
Marie and Alexia are schoolmates and best friends. Hoping to
prepare for their college exams in peace and quiet, they decide
to spend a weekend in the country at Alexia's parents' secluded
farmhouse. But in the dead of night, a stranger knocks on the
front door. And with the first swing of his knife, the girls'
idyllic weekend turns into an endless night of terror. It's a
white-knuckle journey into the heart of fear as the two girls
battle for survival at the hands of a sadistic psychopath,
culminating in a truly shocking climax. Rated and unrated
versions. Director: Alexandre Aja. Stars: Cecile De France,
Maiwenn Le Besco, Philippe Nahon, Franck Khalfoun. 2005, CC, MPAA
rating: NC-17, 89 min., Horror, Box office gross: $3.645 million,
Lions Gate, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

KICKING AND SCREAMING
Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall star in a lively comedy about the
cutthroat, hyper-competitive world of little league soccer.
Ferrell stars as Phil Weston, an average Joe who's had to put up
all his life with his overly competitive father, Buck (Duvall).
When Phil decides to coach his 10-year-old son's soccer team the
Tigers, he goes head-to-head for the league championship against
Buck, who coaches his own young son on the preeminent team of the
league. Phil truly believes it's not whether you win or lose but
if your soul gets nurtured, but a lifetime of putting up with
Buck's overbearing ways finally takes its toll. Eventually, as
Phil and Buck go head-to-head for the soccer league championship,
the pair's past and constant rivalry spins wildly out of control,
forcing each to stop at nothing to ensure a winning season. This
includes a now-maniacal Phil recruiting the world's best
assistant coach, the legendary Mike Ditka (played by none other
than Mike Ditka), as well as two young Italian soccer prodigies
who become the Tigers' secret weapons. Can father and son put
their rocky past behind, do what's best for their own children
(and grandchild!) and realize that soccer is just a game? Not a
chance! Funny outing will please the whole family. Director:
Jesse Dylan. Stars: Will Ferrell, Robert Duvall, Mike Ditka, Kate
Walsh, Musetta Vander, Dylan McLaughlin, Josh Hutcherson. 2005,
CC, MPAA rating: PG, 95 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $52.114
million, Universal, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Director Ridley Scott turns to the Crusades -- that world-shaping
200-year collision between Europe and the East -- to frame the
tale of a young Frenchman who discovers his destiny as a knight,
then lives out what that glorious title really means. Orlando
Bloom stars as Balian, a blacksmith who has lost his family and
nearly lost his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off
Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense
drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he
falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his
courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds.
Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight,
Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson), a Crusader briefly home to
France from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's
father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and
takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City.
In Jerusalem at that moment -- between the Second and Third
Crusades -- a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its
enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor
Tiberias (Jeremy Irons), and the military restraint of the
legendary Muslim leader Saladin (Ghassan Massoud). But Baldwin's
days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy
among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's
vision of peace -- a "kingdom of heaven" -- is shared by a
handful of knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear to
uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword
to his son, he also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the
helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between
religions and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish
on earth. Balian takes the sword and steps into history.
Director: Ridley Scott. Stars: Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Jeremy
Irons, Ghassan Massoud, Nathalie Cox, Eriq Ebouaney. 2005, CC,
MPAA rating: R, 145 min., Historical drama, Box office gross:
$47.000 million, Fox, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW
A poetic and penetrating look at how everyday people struggle to
connect with one another in an isolating modern world. Christine
Jesperson (writer-director Miranda July) is a struggling artist
and cab driver who uses her talents and imagination to draw her
dreams and objects of desire. One such object is Richard Swersey
(John Hawkes), a newly-single father of two boys who is hoping
for amazing things, yet panics upon meeting the captivating
Christine. But in a world where the mundane is transcendent and
people seek meaningful connections despite the risk, anything
magical can -- and will -- happen. Director: Miranda July. Stars:
John Hawkes, Miranda July, Miles Thompson, Brandon Ratcliff,
Carlie Westerman. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: R, 90 min., Comedy
drama, Box office gross: $2.371 million, Sony, No VHS SRP, Priced
for rental.

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS
Based on Ann Brashares' best-selling novel, "The Sisterhood of
the Traveling Pants" is about a special summer in the lives of
four lifelong friends who are separated for the first time. On a
shopping trip, the young women find a pair of thrift-shop jeans
that fits each of them perfectly and decide to use these pants as
a way of keeping in touch over the months ahead, each one wearing
the jeans for a week to see what luck they bring her before
sending them on to the next. Though miles apart, the four friends
still experience life, love and loss together in a summer they'll
never forget. Director: Ken Kwapis. Stars: Amber Tamblyn, Alexis
Bledel, America Ferrera, Blake Lively, Jenna Boyd, Bradley
Whitford, Nancy Travis, Rachel Ticot, Mike Vogel. 2005, CC, MPAA
rating: PG, 119 min., Warner, Box office gross: $37.476 million,
Warner, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

UNBORN BUT FORGOTTEN
Women who have no apparent relationship to one another begin
inexplicably dying 15 days after visiting a mysterious Web site.
Oddly, each woman appears to have given birth before her demise,
although friends and family members all deny that they were
pregnant. While investigating the phenomenon, a female reporter
begins a journey that leads to the discovery of the site known
only as The White Room. Uncovering the secret has its price,
leaving her fifteen days to solve the mystery behind the cryptic
portal and break the curse before its too late. Director: Lim
Chang-jae. Stars: Jeong Jun-ho, Lee Eun-ju. 2002, CC, MPAA
rating: R, 95 min., Horror, Tartan Asia Extreme.

Peaceful, rustic Berkeley, Australia is a charming fishing
community where life is sweet and the people friendly. All that
is about to change. After losing her childhood farm to the bank,
local beauty Rene decides to leave town and head for the big
city. Suddenly, an avalanche of meteorites races through the sky,
bombarding the town and bringing an otherworldly infection.
Departing is going to be much more difficult than she had
planned. The living dead are awakened and Rene is now caught in a
nightmare of zombies hungry for human flesh. She manages to find
salvation in a small isolated farm house owned by the town loony,
Marion. There she is met with four other desperate survivors.
Together they battle their way through a plague of walking dead
and discover that there is more transpiring than just an
infection. Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig. Stars:

UNLEASHED (AKA DANNY THE DOG)
Written and produced by Luc Besson, the action drama headlines
international martial arts superstar Jet Li. On and beneath the
meanest streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart (Bob Hoskins) is
merciless with debtors, would-be rivals, and anyone else to whom
he takes even a passing dislike. How does Bart maintain his
chokehold? Through his unwitting enforcer Danny (Jet Li), who he
has "raised" since boyhood. Danny has been kept as a near-
prisoner by his "Uncle" Bart; trained to attack and, if
necessary, kill. Danny knows little of life, except the brutal
existence that Bart has so crudely and cruelly fashioned for him.
But when Danny has a chance encounter with soft-spoken blind
piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman), he senses true kindness and
compassion for the first time and experiences the transforming
power of music. When a sudden gangland coup separates Danny from
Bart and his mob, Danny is at last away from the underworld. He
takes refuge with Sam and his spunky teenaged stepdaughter
Victoria (Kerry Condon). Sam and Victoria open their home and
hearts to Danny, who begins to envision a new future for himself.
However, the mob will not give up its prize pupil so easily, and
Danny must soon fight again, and fight back, to protect his new
family and bury his troubled past. Director: Louis Leterrier.
Stars: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, Bob Hoskins, Kerry Condon. 2005,
CC, MPAA rating: R, 102 min., Action, Box office gross: $24.380
million, Universal, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
