Released by: Fox My Advice: Borrow it.  This movie covers the U.S. Marines effort to invade and take control of the island of Guadalcanal and more importantly its airfield, one of the few in the Pacific theater early in the war. It's a ground level view of the initial attack and the efforts of the Marines right up until U.S. Army forces relieved them. This movie is based on a book that was in turn based on a series of newspaper articles submitted by Richard Tregaskis, who was present when the U.S. Marine Corps attacked and took Guadalcanal. This was one of the first and more strategic victories for the allies in the Pacific theater. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: Columbia-Tristar. My Advice: Rent it. Sara (Pelikan) is a widow sailing back to her home after her husband was killed on a colonial expedition in the South Pacific. The ship crosses paths with a small dinghy that is floating at sea with a small child and his two dead parents (who just happen to be the two from the original Blue Lagoon). The crew rescues the child from starvation...only to put him in danger of dying of cholera. It seems that the ship's doctor was remiss in telling the captain that the crew were dying of the disease.

Released by: A&E Home Video. My Advice: Own it. Elizabeth Bennet, or Lizzy (Ehle), a feisty Jane Austen heroine, is one of five not-so-well-off sisters. When a wealthy bachelor, Mr. Bingley (Crispin Bonham-Carter) moves in next door, Mrs. Bennet (Steadman) is determined for him to marry one of her daughters. As her sister Jane (Harker) is seemingly being wooed by Mr. Bingley, Lizzy is facing the cold pride of his friend, Mr. Darcy (Firth). But things are not always as they seem, and Lizzy finds that her first impressions are not always as sound as she thinks them to be. The two girls, as well as the rest of their family, are thrown into uproar over the anxieties over marrying for love or marrying for more material considerations. Filled with vivacious characters and many a plot twist, this is a classic story beloved by readers for over two centuries. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
