Directed by Kerry Conran, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow revolves around the mysterious disappearance of some of the world's most revered scientists. When an investigation is launched, Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), reporter for the prestigious Chronicle, and Sky Captain (Jude Law), resident flying ace, are at the forefront of the case. Though the mission's perks include traveling around the world, the stout-hearted duo are nonetheless risking their lives with each passing moment, as the culprit is none other than the nefarious Dr. Totenkopf, and his goal, from what they can gather, is to destroying the earth in its entirety. Luckily, Sky Captain and Polly are not alone -- Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), the commander of an all-female amphibious squadron, and Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), an unparalleled technical genius, have joined them in hopes of saving the planet before it's too late. Laurence Olivier appears posthumously as Dr. Totenkopf, via old film-clips "recycled" (or CG-altered) to fit the dialogue and scenes at hand. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

In the fourth episode of the six-part Doctor Who adventure "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," the Doctor (Tom Baker) has followed the bizarre trail of clues in a series of murders in Victorian London to the headquarters of Chinese Tong functionary Weng-Chiang (Michael Spice). It turns out that this worthy is actually Magnus Greel, a war criminal who has escaped from the 51st century. Weakened during his journey back in time, Greel requires the life-forces of young women to survive -- hence the murder spree. But why has Greel chosen to materialize at this particular time, in this particular location?
