HARRISON FORD & MICHELLE PFEIFFER IGNITES THE SILVER SCREEN IN A FILM FROM THE ACADEMY AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR OF FORREST GUMP, ROBERT ZEMECKIS
SYPNOSIS - It had been a year since Dr. Norman Spencer betrayed his beautiful wife Claire. But with Claire oblivious to the truth and the affair over, Norman's life and marriage seem perfect--so perfect that when Claire tells him of hearing mysterious voices and seeing a young woman's wraithlike image in their home, he dismisses her mounting terror as delusion. However, as Claire moves closer to the truth, it becomes clear that this apparition will not be dismissed, and has come back for Dr. Norman Spencer... and his beautiful wife.

SCARY MOVIE IS A MUST-SEE!
From the minds that brought you "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka," "In Living Color" and "Don't Be A Menace In South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood" comes a thriller-comedy (a thrill-omedy, if you will) that is guaranteed to shock. In this raucous comedy spoof of recent horror films, not even "The Blair Witch Project" or "The Sixth Sense" have been spared. |

IN MEMORIAM - Lam Cheng Ying 27 Dec 1952 - 8 Nov 1997
You may know him as Mr. Vampire or Magic Cop or as a Taoist priest or killer martial artist. He was all of these things and more!
He was born in Hong Kong and originally named Lam Gun-Bo. He went to elementary school for two years at the Shun Yi Association Elementary School then moved on to Madame Fan Fok Fa's(Fan Guk Fa's) Peking Opera School for five years.
At the age of 17 he became a martial arts coach and stuntman for Hong Kong's film industry.
Because of his small stature he doubled for many actresses such as the ultra cool Cheng Pei Pei. Within two years he became a martial arts director on films such as The Chinese Connection and Return of the Dragon. you can see him in cameo appearances in these films as well! During this time he was also acting in films such as Winners And Sinners, and Prodigal Son and was a member of Sammo Hung's Stuntman Association AKA Hung Ga Ban.
He trained Michelle Yeoh early in her career (during Yes Madam)
To top things off, this multi-talented artist decided to seize the reigns as director. One Eyebrow Priest and Green Hornet 1994 were in his resume.
He will be missed greatly. Send your prayers and burn some hellnotes for this superstar.
