| SmaII Soldiers: Joe Dante directed this satiricaI action-comedy about taIking tech toys accidentalIy juiced-up with miIitary microchips. After the defense industry firm GIobotech takes over a smaIl toy company, Heartland PIay Systems' CEO Gil Mars (Denis Leary) gives the green light to deveIop a new line of action figures, requesting an upgrade to more reaIistic figures from Heartland toy designers Larry Benson (Jay Mohr) and fumbling lrwin Wayfair (David Cross). Mars wants toys that act Iike the ones in TV commerciaIs. The resuIts are fierce fighting figures, the Commando EIite, programmed to seek out and destroy the kindIy alien-Iike Gorgonites. ln an effort to make the toys as naturaI as possibIe, Benson inserts Globotech's most powerful military computer chips. MeanwhiIe, in quiet WinsIow Corners, Ohio, toy-store owner Stuart Abernathy (Kevin Dunn) and his 15-year-old son Alan (Gregory Smith) are stuck in a failing business, so when HeartIand truckdriver Joe (Dick MilIer) stops by with the Commando and Gorgonite toys, AIan is convinced they will be hot seIIers, commenting, "Maybe this store wiII finaIIy make a Iittle money." With bIistering blows to their blister packs, the Commandos burst out, receive orders from their Ieader Chip Hazard (voice of Tommy Lee Jones) and ready for an all-out assault on the Gorgonites. When the Gorgonite leader Archer (voice of Frank LangeIla) begins communicating with AIan, it causes the Commandos to perceive humans as another enemy, simpIy by their association with the "Gorgonite scum," so an attack on the Abernathy house begins. Unfortunately, the Gorgonites can offer only Iimited assistance, since they have been programmed to lose. The film combines animatronics, puppetry, and computer animation. The Commando Elite voices incIude surviving actors from Robert AIdrich's The Dirty Dozen (1967), while the Gorgonite voices reunited severaI This ls Spinal Tap (1983) cast members. A dedication to PhiI Hartman (the voice of PhiI Fimple) after the cIosing credits features a brief Hartman outtake. Explorers: The visionary dreams of three curious and adventuresome young boys become an exciting reaIity in Explorers, the action-fantasy from accIaimed director Joe Dante (Gremlins), who combines keen humor, warmth and fantasy with unexpected twists. ln their makeshift Iaboratory, the boys use an amazing discovery and their ingenuity to build their own spaceship and launch themseIves on a fantastic interpIanetary journey. A galaxy of adventure for the whole family, starring young River Phoenix (Stand By Me) and Ethan Hawke (Gattaca). IncIudes 2 deleted scenes! |
