Summer Lovers
Peter Gallagher (The Idolmaker, The Underneath) and Daryl Hannah (Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Legal Eagles) ignite the screen in this scintillating story of love, lust and obsession from Randal Kleiser, the director of The Blue Lagoon and Grease. Michael (Gallagher) and his childhood sweetheart Cathy (Hannah) go to Greece to spend the summer on the isle of Santorini–where, despite his love for Cathy, he finds himself lured by Lina (Valérie Quennessen, French Postcards), a vacationing French archeologist. Lina's exotic beauty mesmerizes Michael, and he becomes torn between the woman he loves and the woman he lusts after. But when he finally reveals his feelings to Cathy, she surprises them both by confronting Lina. When the two women discover that they are drawn to each other, the three lovers find themselves forever affected by the most passionate and inspiring summer of their lives. One of the film's highlights is the haunting and beautiful score by legendary composer Basil Poledouris (Conan the Barbarian).

Youngblood!
Showcasing the talents of Rob Lowe (The Hotel New Hampshire, St. Elmo's Fire) and Patrick Swayze (Point Break, Ghost), Youngblood is fist-flying, stick-smashing, body-checking thrills right up to the final buzzer. Teenager Dean Youngblood (Lowe) has out-skated just about everybody since he was six. Now he's set his sights toward National Hockey League fame with the ragtag Hamilton Mustangs, an amateur Canadian team just across the border from his family's farm. Certain that his swift moves on the ice will dazzle the crowds, Dean quickly learns that his speed and finesse won't pack enough punch against the bad boys of the league, the Thunder Bay Bombers. And when the Mustangs' top scorer (Swayze) gets knocked out, Dean has to turn from a rookie to an all-star fast. Directed by Peter Markle (Bat 21) and featuring Cynthia Gibb (Modern Girls), Ed Lauter (Breakheart Pass), Jim Youngs (The Wanderers) and Keanu Reeves (River's Edge).
