Description

Sagwa, based on Amy Tan's book, is about a Siamese cat and is set in China during the 18th century. Sagwa, her parents, her brother, and her sisters are expert calligraphers who serve the magistrate, but still find plenty of time for fun and adventure. In "Explorer's Club," Sagwa's brother Dongwa belongs to a Gamester's club that refuses to include Sagwa in its membership. Sagwa forms her own Explorer's club and excludes Dongwa, but a perilous situation soon necessitates that the rivals work together. In "Treasure Hunters," teamwork and quick thinking yield rich results, and in "Sick Day," Sagwa and Dongwa discover the joy of imagination and storytelling while the rest of the palace learns the power of cooperation. Brief interviews with children from around the world punctuate the episodes, offering a glimpse of a variety of cultures. Sagwa is a wholesome, entertaining series from PBS that encourages curiosity, cooperation, and an appreciation of different cultures. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Sagwa's always looking for excitement, and in these three adventures she finds it. In Explorer's Club and Treasure Hunters, Sagwa and her friends go on real-life adventures to a mountain top and find a cave filled with ancient treasure and learn that when you get into sticky situations, you need to work together to have a happy ending. In Sick Day, Sagwa, Dongwa and Sheegwa learn that you don't have to leave home to have fun - your imagination can create the most exciting adventures of all!

Feline Frenzy fosters children's appreciation of different cultures, and helps children learn the value of experimenting and taking risks.

Description

George Lucas' paean to early '60s youth culture boasts a cast of future stars that includes Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Mackenzie Phillips, and Harrison Ford. Follow the lives, loves, and misadventures of a group of friends one summer night in '62, in Modesto, Ca., as they prepare for the uncertainty of life after high school. Look for Suzanne Somers, Kay Lenz, and Kathleen Quinlan. Features a definitive early rock 'n' roll soundtrack. 113 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: Spanish; "making of" documentary; screen tests; photo gallery; theatrical trailer.

Here's how critic Roger Ebert described the unique and lasting value of George Lucas's 1973 box-office hit, American Graffiti: "[It's] not only a great movie but a brilliant work of historical fiction; no sociological treatise could duplicate the movie's success in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant." The time to which Ebert and the film refers is the summer of 1962, and American Graffiti captures the look, feel, and sound of that era by chronicling one memorable night in the lives of several young Californians on the cusp of adulthood. (In essence, Lucas was making a semiautobiographical tribute to his own days as a hot-rod cruiser, and the film's phenomenal success paved the way for Star Wars.) The action is propelled by the music of Wolfman Jack's rock & roll radio show--a soundtrack of pop hits that would become as popular as the film itself. As Lucas develops several character subplots, American Graffiti becomes a flawless time capsule of meticulously re-created memory, as authentic as a documentary and vividly realized through innovative use of cinematography and sound. The once-in-a-lifetime ensemble cast members inhabit their roles so fully that they don't seem like actors at all, comprising a who's who of performers--some of whom went on to stellar careers--including Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams, Mackenzie Phillips, Charles Martin Smith, Candy Clark, and Paul Le Mat. A true American classic, the film ranks No. 77 on the American Film Institute's list of all-time greatest American movies. --Jeff Shannon

Description

The babies in Babies are four newborns, photographed in their natural habitat in distinctly different parts of the world. Hattie is in San Francisco, Mari's in Tokyo, Baryarjargal lives out in the Mongolian steppes, and Ponijao is born amid the simple straw huts of Namibia. In the course of less than 80 minutes, we're going to follow this quartet through their first year of life, a chronicle that director Thomas Balmes and producer Alain Chabat have likened to a nature documentary that happens to focus on humans. We can cut to the chase here and say that above and beyond any sociological weight this project might possess, this film's main method can be summed up in the words of David Byrne and Talking Heads from the song "Stay Up Late": "See him drink / From a bottle / See him eat / From a plate / Cute cute / As a button /Don't you want to make him stay up late." In short, babies are cute, babies are funny, and a camera focused on a baby is going to catch the sudden mood shifts and clunky crawling and all the other ingredients of home movies. Along the way, we may pause to notice the cultural differences between the locales, as the American baby seems elaborately nurtured (maybe baby yoga classes could wait a year?) and the African baby views a world just as full of wonder and newness as anywhere else, despite the material poverty of the locale. The Namibia and Mongolia sequences are certainly more arresting than the two urban sections, because their backdrops are so dramatically unusual to most Western eyes. If those differences are colorful, the movie nevertheless suggests that babies are more alike in their development than they are different. Is this enough to qualify as a movie? Well, even if Babies really is little more than a collection of sure-fire infant cuteness, it'll probably be enough for its target audience. --Robert Horton

What's more adorable than a baby? How about four? Follow the development of four beautiful infant children in this charming French documentary, which eschews dialogue and narration for pure visual delights as newborns from Namibia, Mongolia, Tokyo, and San Francisco are exposed to the surprising (and often funny) wonders of their new worlds--learning and growing over the course of a year with the help and attention of their families. 79 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes.
