A young woman's descent into insanity at her lonely summer home is played against a cold background totally lacking in familial affection.

Following an appalling. symbol- Iaden nightmare. an elderly professor (Sjosirom) finds himself reliving his life as he travels to an academic awards ceremony.

The Wild Thornberrys )L') 0.. (Cathy Malkasian and Jeff .\lc(}rath. LS. 2002) Voices of Tim Curry. Lynn Redgrave. Rupert Everett. 85min. Like the popular children's TV cartoon. the Movie follows the adventures of young Eliza Thornbeny who‘s been granted the power to talk to the animals — a handy trick when your parents are wildlife documentary filmmakers. This time they're in Africa where a team of hi-tech poachers have their evil eye on a herd of 1000 elephants. By combining a nail-biting story with a satire of family foibles. the film is constantly engaging and not a little rewarding. General release.
