The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky Posted: While working for the National Forest Service in northwestern Montana, brash 17-year-old Mac (Jerry O'Connell) gets into hot water with his boss, tough veteran ranger Bill Bell (Sam Elliott) -- and soon finds himself banished to a remote lookout station. Will the mountain's gale-force winds and a fabled rattler teach young Mac a lesson? This made-for-TV drama set in 1919 is based on a story by Norman Maclean. |
Posted: A pair of small-time hoodlums (Christopher Lloyd and Michael Jeter) kidnap the son of a town scion, thinking it'll be easy ransom money. But when the rambunctious 9-year-old (Haley Joel Osment) turns out to have an imagination the size of Texas, the guys are soon begging the parents to take him back. Mom and Pop agree -- but only for a price. This made-for-television comedy is based on the classic O. Henry short story of the same name. |

Posted: Baseball aficionado Jason Ross (Michael Schiffman) feels dejected when he gets bumped from his Little League squad. Determined to succeed, Jason joins an expansion club. Problem is, the team lacks a coach, so Jason recruits school custodian -- and baseball maven -- Mack Henry (Ossie Davis) as skipper. Then a trip to a baseball-card shop evokes a question: Is Mack really Negro League superstar pitcher Buck McHenry, who vanished in 1950? |
Posted: Shot on a tiny budget in only six days, director Noah Baumbach's second film follows a loose-knit group of neurotic friends as they navigate through a series of increasingly awkward social situations at three parties. The cast features Eric Stoltz as a man who likes to date famous women -- including Ally Sheedy and Rae Dawn Chong, who appear as themselves -- plus frequent Baumbach players Chris Eigeman and Carlos Jacott. |
