The legendary Robert Dornhelm directed this 2008 cinematization of Giacomo Puccini's seminal La Boheme - a film-opera starring Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon and George Von Bergen in the principal roles. This adaptation, like the original stage work, tells of the star-crossed love between writer Rodolfo (Villazon) and seamstress Mimi (Netrebko), who meet by chance one memorable Christmas Eve, and instantly fall in love - only to find that love ultimately ripped away by Mimi's fatal bout with tuberculosis. Florian Reichmann designed the sets. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

The energetic quintet of pygmy dinosaurs that formed the basis of Prehysteria, returns, this time with an entirely different cast of people.

Unfortunately, they blunder into a raisin shipment and end up sent to the home of rich but lonely boy Brandon Wellington (Kevin Connors). He shares his newest "toys" with his tomboy neighbor Naomi (Jennifer Harte). Trouble comes when Brandon's stuffy housekeeper Mrs. Winters learns that she is terribly allergic to his diminutive reptiles. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

She lives. Deep in the bowels of the underworld Alyda the half-human demon waits to return to the earthy plane. This horror sequel chronicles her blood-soaked ascent. It all begins at Miskatonic University where several gruesome murders have occurred. Two college students, Randolph Carter and Eliot Damon Howard witnessed some of Alyda's handiwork in nearby Winthrop mansion where their friends, who went up there for a little illicit fun, were mysteriously slaughtered. The fleeing duo encounter the cops and paramedics. Though they claim some otherworldly monster is responsible, Sheriff Hatch pooh-poohs them, claiming an animal did the damage. Howard goes to the hospital and while there has a vision. He sees the original owner of the mansion who lived in the 1600s. The owner had been a warlock and it was he who awakened Alyda. As Winthrop fades, he warns Howard that he must stop her. Unfortunately, after his release, Howard has trouble finding people to believe him until he and Carter hook up with professor Harley Warren who uses a combination of ancient rituals and modern technology to take care of Alyda once and for all, but not before more blood is spilled and much horror ensues. Both this and its prequel were based on tales byH.P. Lovecraft. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
