The Center: Gibbons and Guardians
Producer
A love triangle that incites jealous rage. An out-of-control wildfire that threatens lives and livelihoods. A sudden tragedy that upends a close-knit community. You might not expect such intense dramas at a small conservation center in the California desert, yet that’s exactly what you’ll get in the documentary, The Center: Gibbons and Guardians, which includes interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace. Watch it to get immersed in the sometimes funny, sometimes startling story of the Gibbon Conservation Center. There, a determined group of people dedicate their lives to the conservation, study, and care of these endangered apes — and in the process, find courage, laughter, and even romance. The film will keep you riveted as the staff face one challenge after another. The lives of the apes intertwine with those who care for them to create a rich symphony that will make you feel how surprising and passionate life can be.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
Producer
Originalmente, os dois primeiros filmes da série Superman seriam filmados simultaneamente por Richard Donner. Porém, após o lançamento e grande sucesso do primeiro filme, os produtores demitiram Donner e colocaram em seu lugar Richard Lester, que refilmou grande parte das cenas filmadas por Donner. Em 2006, foi lançado direto para vídeo "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut", que traz a visão original de Donner para o filme, com cenas inéditas e inumeras diferenças comparando com a versão de 1980.

Pequenos Guerreiros
Editor
Globotech é um grande conglomerado que, entre outras atividades, faz armas para o Departamento de Defesa dos Estados Unidos. Decidida a investir em outros ramos, ela compra a Heartland, uma fábrica de brinquedos. Gil Mars, o presidente geral, quer que os designers façam brinquedos mais realistas, que tenham praticamente vida própria e usem bateria de lítio, para nunca precisarem de pilhas. Depois de três meses os brinquedos estão prontos e o resultado são figuras de ferozes soldados - o Comando Elite - que foi programado para destruir os Gorgonóides, alienígenas que não oferecem nenhum perigo. Joe, um entregador da Heartland, deixa alguns destes brinquedos na pequena loja de Stuart Abernathy, que está indo à falência. À noite o Comando Elite sai de suas caixas e recebe ordem do seu líder, Chip Hazard, para atacar os Gorgonóides e os humanos.
Histórias Insólitas
Editor
The foul-mouthed, wheelchair-bound Mr. Rush introduces three adventure tales inspired by the EC Comics of the 1950s: "Showdown," "King of the Road," and "Yellow." This star-studded telefilm was an attempt to launch a second anthology series in the mold of "Tales from the Crypt." When the film failed to generate sufficient interest, the three tales were re-edited and shown as "Crypt" episodes.
