Anchorman Legend of Ron Burgundy Extended Edition
It`s the early 1970s and the local anchorman is not only a source of news but a revered local hero. In San Diego, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), a mustachioed bachelor with a taste for scotch, unparalleled passion for the jazz flute, and a near-telepathic connection with his spirited mutt, Baxter, is that man. Rounding out Ron`s testosterone-heavy news team are his close friends--cologne-obsessed man-on-the-street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), sports reporter Champ Kind (Dave Koechner), and mentally challenged weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell). Their male camaraderie is challenged, though, when producer Ed Harken (Fred Willard), pressured by changing times, brings the first female reporter, ambitious Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), to the team. Ron finds his chauvinistic ideals compromised further when he starts falling in love with her. Fueled by Ferrell`s singularly loopy persona, ANCHORMAN joins the long list of comedies which have successfully poked fun at the styles and mores of the `70s. Here, with Ferrell`s script and Adam McKay`s direction, the character of Ron Burgundy becomes a full-bodied comic creation whose possibilities for laughs aren`t nearly exhausted by the end credits. The result is an often hilarious celebration of moustaches, wide neckties, alcohol abuse, and good, old-fashioned sexism.

Jackpot
Twin brothers Mark and Michael Polish, who collaborated on the cult hit, TWIN FALLS, IDAHO, a quirky but contemplative film about a woman in love with a Siamese twin, move in a slightly different direction with their follow-up, JACKPOT. The title of the film can be taken ironically, as JACKPOT documents the career path of Sunny Holiday (Jon Gries), who left his wife (Daryl Hannah) and daughter to tour as a karaoke singer. His manager, Les (Garrett Morris of Saturday Night Live fame), tries to keep Sunny out of trouble (especially with women), but his career advice is frequently off the mark. A singer of minimal talent, Sunny manages to win very few contests. JACKPOT is an odd but engaging comedy. The Polish brothers have even cast the film eccentrically with talented 1970s and 1980s TV stars. In addition to Morris are Peggy Lipton, Crystal Bernard, Mac Davis, and Anthony Edwards. Playing two losers chasing an impossible dream, Gries and Morris have an entertaining rapport. JACKPOT was shot on a Sony 24P digital video camera (also used to shoot STAR WARS: EPISODE 2), and the film looks great, capturing the grimy details of a low-budget life on the road.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Director Chris Columbus recreates the magic of the second book from author J.K. Rowling`s best-selling series about a young wizard, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). In this sequel, Harry and his friends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the new school year only to be met with a terrifying mystery. An unknown creature, one that supposedly lives in the legendary Chamber of Secrets hidden at Hogwarts, is attacking students in the school, leaving them literally petrified and as cold as stone. Even the professors seem at a loss for how to solve the chilling mystery, leaving it up to Harry and his friends to save the day. Rowling`s story translates well to the big screen, with a magical flying car, a giant spider, a house elf named Dobby, and assorted other creatures making their film debuts. Radcliffe continues to charm as the wide-eyed young Potter, and Grint shines as his best friend and sidekick. Kenneth Branagh joins the all-star cast as the preening megalomaniac author and professor, Gilderoy Lockhart. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS also stars the late Richard Harris, majestic Maggie Smith, and an under-used Alan Rickman.
