Cast: Marlon Brando, Tom Selleck, Georges Corraface, Rachel Ward, Robert Davi, Mathieu Carriere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nigel Terry

  This fictional account of Christopher Columbus' discovery of America was issued on the 500th anniversary of the original event. The film fails in casting as well as content. Read a history book instead of watching this loser–it's more exciting!

How to Get Ahead in Advertising   1989     2 and a half stars    R, 95 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Bruce Robinson  
Cast: Richard E. Grant, Rachel Ward, Richard Wilson, Jacqueline Tong, John Shrapnel, Susan Wooldridge, Mick Ford, Jacqueline Pearce, Pauline Melville, Hugh Armstrong

  Dennis Bagley (Richard E. Grant) is an extremely successful advertising executive–that is, until he has a mental block and can't come up with an advertising campaign for an acne ointment. He considers getting out of this rat race, and then notices that a huge boil has developed on his shoulder. The boil becomes his alter ego, his "good" self, while his bad self returns to the advertising business. A good satire on today's culture.

  A nuclear war has wiped out the inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere, and a poisonous wave of radiation is headed for Australia. A nuclear submarine, commanded by Dwight Towers (Armand Assante), appears on the scene, and, after picking up a signal from the Northern Hemisphere, the sub sets out to find what is hoped to be a safe area where people can be transported. There is a hitch: only 1,000 will be saved because that is the limit of people who can be transported on the submarine.

After their mansion burns down, Paul leaves, Annette goes insane, and daughter Antoinette (Karina Lombard) is placed in a convent.
