ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, November 1 -- MONDAY, November 7
ALIENS OF THE DEEP
Academy Award-winning director James Cameron combines his talents as a filmmaker
with his passion for exploration in all forms in "Aliens of the Deep." Inspired
by concepts
from the field of astrobiology -- the study of life on other worlds -- Cameron
explores the
idea that the bizarre creatures living in the extreme environments found on the
ocean
floor might provide a blueprint for what life is like elsewhere in the universe.
The director
is joined in the journey by a team of young marine biologists and NASA
researchers who
share his interests and excitement as they consider the correlation between life
under
water and the life we may one day find in outer space. "Aliens of the Deep"
presents the
dramatic and visually-stunning highlights of a series of expeditions to
deep-ocean
hydrothermal vents, where super-heated, mineral-charged water gives life to some
of the
strangest animals on earth -- six-foot tall worms with blood-red plumes, blind
white
crabs, and an astonishing biomass of white shrimp, all competing to find just
the right
location in the flow of near-boiling water. This adventure brings the audience
face to face
with what it might be like to travel far into space and encounter life on other
worlds.
Originally released in the IMAX format. Director: James Cameron, Steven Quale.

HEIGHTS
"Heights" follows five characters who must make life-altering decisions over 24
hours on a
fall day in New York City. Isabel (Elizabeth Banks), a photographer, is having
second
thoughts about her upcoming marriage to Jonathan (James Marsden), a lawyer. On
the
same day, Isabel's mother Diana (Glenn Close) learns that her husband has a new
lover,
and begins to re-think her life choices and her open marriage. Diana and
Isabel's paths
cross with Alec (Jesse Bradford), a young actor, and with Peter (John Light), a
journalist. As
the interrelated stories proceed, the connections between the lives of the five
characters
begin to reveal themselves and their stories unravel so that Isabel, Jonathan,
Diana, Alec,
and Peter must choose what kind of lives they will lead before the sun comes up
on the
next day. Director: Chris Terrio. Stars: Chandler Williams, Bess Wohl, Glenn
Close,
Elizabeth Banks, James Marsden, Jesse Bradford, Isabella Rossellini, John Light.

MILLIONS
Director Danny Boyle ("28 Days Later," "Trainspotting") brings to the big screen
a
heartwarming story of two little boys, faith, miracles ... and lots of money.
Starting anew
after the death of their mother, 9-year-old Anthony is ever practical, while his
7- year-old
brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his
confusing world.
When a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian's feet, it sets the
boys on the
adventure of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing
to do with
money. Director: Danny Boyle. Stars: Alexander Nathan Etel, Lewis Owen McGibbon,
James
Nesbitt, Daisy Donovan, Christopher Fulford, Pearce Quigley, Jane Hogarth. 2005,

PERFECT MAN, THE
Teenager Holly Hamilton (Hilary Duff) is tired of moving every time her single
mom Jean
(Heather Locklear) has another personal meltdown involving yet another
second-rate guy.
To distract her mother from her latest bad choice, Holly conceives the perfect
plan for the
perfect man ... an imaginary secret admirer who will romance Jean and boost her
shaky
self-esteem. When the virtual relationship takes off, Holly finds herself having
to produce
the suitor, borrowing her friend's charming and handsome Uncle Ben (Chris Noth)
as the
face behind the e-mails, notes and gifts. Holly must resort to increasingly
desperate
measures to keep the ruse alive and protect her mom's newfound happiness. But
Holly's so
diverted by the ever increasing, runaway deception that she almost misses her
own perfect
man when he comes along. Director: Mark Rosman. Stars: Hilary Duff, Heather
Locklear,
Chris Noth. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 100 min., Romantic comedy, Box office
gross:
$16.037 million, Universal, $29.98 VHS SRP.
STAR WARS: EPISODE III -- REVENGE OF THE SITH
After almost 30 years, George Lucas ties it all together in what is certainly
the most
exciting of the three episodes of the "new" trilogy. After three long years of
relentless
fighting, the Clone Wars are nearly at an end. The Jedi Council dispatches Obi-
Wan
Kenobi to bring General Grievous, the deadly leader of the Separatist droid
army, to
justice. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine has grown in power.
His
sweeping political changes transform the war-weary Republic into the mighty
Galactic
Empire. To his closest ally, Anakin Skywalker, he reveals the true nature of
power and the
promised secrets of the Force in an attempt to lure him to the dark side. "As
Revenge of
the Sith" opens, the final catastrophic battles of the Clone Wars are taking
place galaxy
wide -- including one in the skies above the city-planet Coruscant, seat of the
crumbling
Republic and also home to the Jedi Knights. Chancellor Palpatine has been taken
hostage
by the nefarious General Grievous, leader of the droid army -- the mechanized
battle
troops of the Separatist Alliance. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin
Skywalker
(Hayden Christensen) take on a desperate rescue effort, facing long odds to free
Palpatine
and destroy Grievous. The opening battle sets in motion a series of events that
lead up to
the moment of truth for Anakin -- whose secret always threatens to catch up with
him: He
is leading a dual life as a Jedi Knight while covertly married to the beautiful
Senator Padme
Amidala (Natalie Portman). Preying on Anakin's fears of losing Padme, Palpatine
reveals to
Anakin another side of the Force, one that is forbidden to him, but one that
promises to
teach him powers he never imagined possible. Obi-Wan recognizes Anakin's inner
conflict,
and ultimately must face off against his once-promising Padawan learner in a
lightsaber
battle on the volcanic planet of Mustafar -- a battle that basically takes
viewers to the
beginning of the first "Star Wars" in 1977. Director: George Lucas. Stars: Ewan
McGregor,
Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy
Smits,
Frank Oz, Anthony Daniels, Christopher Lee, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Silas Carson,
Kenny
Baker. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 140 min., Science Fiction, Box office
gross:
$380.262 million, Fox, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
