" The World and the Word is a fresh introduction to the Old Testament driven largely by the fact that so much Christian preaching and teaching today increasingly ignores what is eighty percent of the Bible. Authors Eugene Merrill, Mark Rooker, and Michael Grisanti work through the world and text of the Old Testament always making three major points: ⢠The Old Testament is a rich source of theology and doctrine that is presupposed by ..."

"Air Force Captain Ted Harduvel (Vincent Spano) was one of the best fighter pilots a country could hope for. Loyal, hardworking, eagle-eyed, he knew enough to rely on the instruments in his plane to guide him safely home. Which is why, when he died in a plane crash in Korea, his wife Janet (Academy Award Nominee -- Best Actress 1991; Laura Dern) was astounded to discover that the Air Force had blamed his death on pilot error. Working wit ..."
"Sarah was an inexperienced climber. She trusted Gabe to rescue her. But something went wrong high above the valley floor...Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Michael Rooker, Janine Turner and Ralph Waite star in this high-altitude avalanche of action: a non-stop adventure peak with suspense and capped with heart-quaking terror.

"Nach von Flops gebeutelten Jahren stellte Cliffhanger - Nur die starken überleben für Sylvester Stallone im Jahre 1994 das überraschende Comeback dar. Verantwortlich dafür waren Action-Regisseur Renny Harlin (Stirb langsam 2, Deep Blue Sea) und die Kulissen des Filmes: die atemberaubende Gebirgslandschaft der Rocky Mountains (okay, statt in den Rocky Mountains wurde aus Kostengründen in den italienischen Dolomiten gedreht, doch wen inte ..."
"This DVD 2-pack collections Schawarzenneger starring vehicles THE LAST ACTION HERO (1993) and the 2-DVD Special Edition of THE 6TH DAY. See individual titles for details."
"After a career slump that plagued him through most of the 1980s, Al Pacino made a stellar comeback in this taut 1989 thriller, playing a weary New York police detective who falls in love with the woman (Ellen Barkin) who is the prime suspect in the murder case he's investigating. Expertly written by Richard Price and directed by Harold Becker, the story is designed to keep its central characters (and the viewer) in a state of constant s ..."
"Wider alle Erwartungen führte dieses Oeuvre für den Hongkonger Action-Superstar Chow Yun-Fat nicht ganz zum wohlverdienten Durchbruch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt. Dennoch handelt es sich bei dieser Geschichte um einen unterhaltsamen Kommerzstreifen. Chow spielt einen Auftragskiller, der es nicht übers Herz bringt, einen Polizisten zu töten (weil er dessen Sohn nicht den Vater wegnehmen will) und schließlich selbst zur ..."
"Tim Roth (Planet of the Apes) and Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones's Diary) star in this riveting psychological thriller with shocking twists, "sharp dialogue and a cynical intelligence" (Chicago Tribune). Also starring Chris Penn, Michael Rooker, Ellen Burstyn and Rosanna Arquette and charged with unbridled suspense and powerful performances, this "absorbingly crafty murder mystery" (Entertainment Weekly) delves into the murky depths of ..."
"Director Roger Spottiswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies, Noriega) creates a world of the very near future in which cattle, fish, and even the family pet can be cloned. But cloning humans is illegal - that is until family man Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) comes home from work one day to find a clone has replaced him. Taken from his family and plunged into a sinister world he doesn't understand, Gibson must not only save himself from the a ..."
"Es ist nur angemessen, dass ein Film über das Klonen, wie The Sixth Day mit Arnold Schwarzenegger, durchsetzt ist mit Déjà-vu-Erlebnissen. Namentlich sind dies solche aus Arnolds früherem "Wer bin ich?"-Abenteuer, Total Recall. In diesem Film spielt Arnold einen ganz normalen Bürger, der entdeckt, dass sein komplettes Dasein teilweise zu einer finsteren Verschwörung gehört, und er sein Leben mit Gewalt zurückgewinnen muss. Die gleiche P ..."
"This didn't turn out to be quite the deserving American vehicle for Hong Kong action superstar Chow Yun-fat that it should have been. But it is an entertaining potboiler about a hired gun (Chow) who fails to carry out an assignment to kill a cop (which would leave the fellow's son without a father), and becomes a target himself when the contract is handed over to other assassins. Mira Sorvino plays a document forger who is drawn into th ..."
"Cliffhanger was a 1994 comeback of sorts for action hero Sylvester Stallone, this time thanks to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and some spectacularly rugged and vertigo-inducing high-mountain terrain. The opening sequence alone delivers what the title promises, and there's a doozy of an airplane stunt that was later reprised, with modifications, in Air Force One. Stallone, looking as ..."
"In the not-too-distant future, when pets can be cloned after they die and "virtual girlfriends" can be installed and programmed, Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) works as a helicopter tour pilot. On his birthday he comes home to discover an identical version of himself--an illegal human clone--celebrating with his family and friends. The next thing he knows, a squad of killers is after him in order to hide the evidence of their cloni ..."
"Als Oliver Stones 1991 entstandener Thriller um die Hintergründe der Ermordung John F. Kennedys in die Kinos kam, war die Aufregung groß. Dabei ging es weniger um den Film selbst als um die Art, in der Stone hier Fakten und Fiktionen virtuos vermischend Geschichte schreibt. Doch der Wirbel hat sich relativ bald gelegt, und schon ein paar Jahre später war JFK - Tatort Dallas so etwas wie ein vergessener Film -- ein Schicksal, das er auf ..."
"Released in late 1999, The Bone Collector was originally promoted as a thriller in the tradition of The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, suggesting that it would earn a place among those earlier, better films. Nice try, but no cigar. The Bone Collector settles instead for mere competence and the modest rewards of a well-handled formula. With a terrific cast at his service, director Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games) turns the pulpy ..."
"An ex-police officer finds himself caught up in a battle between Japanese mobsters and local gangland thugs. He discovers that he was framed for the evil-doings of a corrupt cop."
