Garfield The Movie

Based on characters created by Jim Davis, this family feature tells the story of Garfield (featuring the voice of Bill Murray) a supremely spoiled pet cat, who wants the affection of everyone around him, but only when he wants it. Trouble arises when, under the influence of the beautiful veterinarian Liz (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt), Garfield's owner Jon (played by Breckin Meyer) decides to introduce a cuddly dog called Odie to the family. Jealous of the attention that Odie is receiving, Garfield locks him out of the house. Odie then runs away but is kidnapped by the evil television personality Happy Chapman (played by Stephen Tobolowsky). Garfield realises that he's made a huge mistake, and embarks on a brave mission to rescue his new housemate. The comic strip comes to life with this live-action family comedy-caper.

School Of Rock

In this box-office smash hit comedy from the creators of 'Dazed and Confused' and 'Orange County' hard rock meets education with straight A comedy results.

Forming a new band of his own seems the only way to go. When Dewy intercepts a call for Ned about a high paying substitute teaching position at a prestigious private school he gets an idea: all he has to do is tell the school that he's Ned, sit in front of a bunch of bored kids, tell them to shut-up at incidental intervals and ask to be paid in cash at the end of the day. But when he finds out how proficient some of the kids are at music he develops a whole new plan... a plan to finally 'stick it to the man'... a plan that ROCKS!
