A lonely inventor and a suave musician find themselves in a rather bizarre predicament when the former comes into possession of a mystical statue with the power that drives women wild. Tim and Steve couldn't be more different, but that hasn't prevented them from becoming the very best of friends. While Tim has just endured a bitter break-up with his trashy ex, Steve is living the good life with his beautiful girlfriend Renee. Determined to get his love life back on track and inspired by the sexual conquests of his upstairs neighbor Wallace, Tim makes it his mission in life to sleep with as many beautiful women as possible. Trouble is, most women think Tim is a bumbling moron. When Tim comes into possession of a mystical statue that makes him irresistible to the opposite sex, his initial excitement soon turns to horror after he realizes that the charm begins attracting Renee. To make matters worse, the bizarre development has also awakened Tim's secret lust for his best friend's girl. Now, as Tim races to find a solution to his salacious problem, he realizes that his only hope for success is to stop looking outside, and begin searching within. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

What's it like being the only punk rockers in the biggest Mormon community in the world? Stevo (Matthew Lillard) and Heroin Bob (Michael Goorjian) provide the answer to this and other questions in SLC Punk. Stevo and Bob (whose name is actually an ironic reference to his fear of needles) are two friends fresh out of college who sport mohawks and blue hair, listen to hardcore and try to live up to their own anarchist ideals while figuring out what to do with their lives. Which wouldn't make them unusual in New York or Los Angeles, but they're fish out of water in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they drink beer, chase women and pick fights with "rednecks" along side a mixed bag of metalheads, hippies, hicks and posers who are fellow outcasts in the most clean-cut community in America. In the midst of all this, Stevo's dad hopes his son will follow in his footsteps and study law at Harvard; while Stevo surprisingly has the grades, he's not sure if he wants to go. Featuring a soundtrack of mid-80's punk from The Ramones, Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys and others, SLC Punk was chosen as the opening-night feature at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Tony Kaye made his feature directorial debut with this dramatic exploration into the roots of race hatred in America. In a shocking opening scene, teen Danny Vinyard (Edward Furlong) races to tell his older brother, neo-Nazi Derek (Edward Norton), about the young blacks breaking into his car in front of the house, whereupon Derek gets his gun and with no forethought shoots the youths in their tracks. Tried and convicted, Derek is sent away for three years in prison, where he acquires a different outlook as he contrasts white-power prisoners with black Lamont (Guy Torry), his prison laundry co-worker and eventual pal. Meanwhile, Danny, with a shaved head and a rebellious attitude, seems destined to follow in his big brother's footsteps. After Danny writes a favorable review of Hitler's Mein Kampf, black high-school principal Sweeney (Avery Brooks) puts Danny in his private "American History X" course and assigns him to do a paper about his older brother, who was a former student of Sweeney's. This serves to introduce flashbacks, with the film backtracking to illustrate Danny's account of Derek's life prior to the night of the shooting. Monochrome sequences of Derek leading a Venice, California gang are intercut with color footage of the mature Derek ending his past neo-Nazi associations and attempting to detour Danny away from the group led by white supremacist, Cameron (Stacy Keach), who once influenced Derek. Director Tony Kaye, with a background in TV commercials and music videos, filmed in L.A. beach communities. Rated R "for graphic brutal violence including rape, pervasive language, strong sexuality and nudity." ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Season two of Star Trek: Voyager opens on a hopeful note, as Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) comes upon evidence that she is close to escaping the void of the Gamma Quadrant and returning herself and her crew to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. But alas! This hope is soon dashed, with Janeway no closer to her home base than before. In the episodes that follow, Voyager's holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) is given reason to believe that he is real and everything else is a hologram; Janeway's first officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), has a dangerous reunion with former lover Seska (Martha Hackett), who has aligned herself with the dreaded Kazon; the human Lt. Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips) vie for the affections of the Ocampan Kes (Jennifer Lien); a curious phenomenon causes the entire crew to be duplicated, with Neelix and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ) merging into a single being; Chakotay and Janeway become mortally ill; apparently mild-mannered crew person Jonas (Raphael Sbarge) reveals himself to be a turncoat; and the crew must contend with the mercurial Q (John DeLancie), a familiar nemesis from the earlier series Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the season's cliffhanger finale, Seska lures the crew into a Kazon trap, the Voyager is captured, and most of the principal characters a marooned on a desolate planet resembling a prehistoric Earth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While tracking down a group of Maquis terrorists, the crew of the starship Voyager is caught in a freak plasma storm and hurtled some 75,000 light years from Starfleet Command -- and thus begins the first episode, and the seven-season saga, of Star Trek: Voyager. Upon realizing her plight, Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) also discovers that a being called the Caretaker has brought both her ship and the Maquis vessel to an uncharted patch of galaxy known as the Gamma Quadrant, in hopes of finding someone who can help him keep his promise to protect a race known as the Ocampa. Before long, Janeway's crew and the Maquis must do battle with a common enemy, the Kazon, and in the ensuing battle the Caretaker dies. It is now up to Janeway and Maquis leader, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), to work together in harmony, with Chakotay becoming Voyager's first officer, and another Maquis warrior, the half-Klingon, half-human B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), taking over as Janeway's chief engineer. Also added to the "Voyager" roster are a brace of Gamma Quadrant aliens, the Ocampan Kex (Jennifer Lien) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips), not to mention the ship's new Doctor (Robert Picardo), actually a holographic human manifestation of the vessel's emergency medical computer program. Rounding out the main cast is Janeway's veteran comrade-in-arms Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill); Kim (Garrett Wang), a green rookie fresh from Starfleet Academy; and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ),who had signed on the Maquis ship as a Federation spy. Season one of Star Trek: Voyager finds Janeway simultaneously trying to fulfill the Caretaker's promise and to safely guide her crew back to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. The season's slam-bang finale is dictated by the treachery of Voyager crew person Seska (Martha Hackett), who turns out to be loyal only to the Kazon. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
