Jet Li demonstrates his martial arts mastery
in “The One".
The One
Jet Li is Gabriel Yulaw, a police officer who comes
face to face with a villainous form o f him self escaped
from a parallel universe. Y ulaw tries to fight o ff his evil
version, but in so doing begins to realize his perception

which already lies hidden in himself. (Genre: sci-fi,

Monsters Inc.
Monsters, Inc. is the largest scare factory in the
monster world, but scaring children isn’t as easy a job
as it seems: everyone knows children are toxic and
direct contact with them can be catastrophic! When
Boo, a child visitor from the human world, finds thé
Monster world, everything goes topsy turvy, and top
kid “Scarer” James P. Sullivan (a huge intimidating
monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns,
who’s known as “Sulley”) and his Scare Assistant,
Mike Wazowski, (a lime green, opinionated, fiesty,
one-eyed monster) prove they may not be as tough as
they look. (Genre: animation, children’s comedy;
Rating: G; Running time: 92 mins.)
Punks
The life and times of a group of twentysomething
black gay men living in West Hollywood proves to be
intertwined and full of romance. The group is led by
Marcus, a successful photographer who doesn’t re
ally date until drop-dead-gorgeous Darby moves in to
his new neighbor, he finds (much to his chagrin) that
Darby is straight. From there Marcus heads o ff to
drown his sorrow at Miss Smokies, a favorite gay bar.
There he catches up with Hill (who moves in with
Marcus after he catches his boyfriend cheating on
him), Dante (a young, hellbent pariter who leans
heavily on drugs and alcohol), and Chris (a fabulous
diva drag queen who adds just the right amount o f flair
into their already dramatic lives). (Genre: comedy,
romance, drama, music; Rating: MPAA; Running
time: 104 mins.)
