A Hard Day's Night for the nineties, Spice World follows Baby, Scary, Sporty, Ginger, and Posh around London the day before a major concert, with Elton John, Jennifer Saunders, Roger Moore, and Elvis Costello making guest appearances. The film, filled with surreal subplots, zany musical numbers, and, yes, loads of girl power, is a must-see for anyone nostalgic for the days when you could slow it down and have some fun, when your boots had to have six-inch lifts, and when your lovers still had to get with your friends. Two Midnight Shows: July 24th & 25th.

Full of on-your-feet moments, the film features highlights recorded in Paris and Reykjavik, with performances of songs from Volta as well as earlier tracks including Hunter, Joga, Army of Me, and Hyperballad. Björk's band on the Volta tour included Mark Bell (LFO) on computers and keyboards and Damian Taylor on keyboards and programming. Drums and percussion were played by Chris Corsano (Sonic Youth, etc.); Jónas Sen played piano, harpsichord, and church organ; and Björk's all female Icelandic 10-piece brass section rounded out the group. A dynamic, grand live experience, the Volta tour has been acclaimed around the world. Directed by Russell Thomas. Produced by Andy Derbyshire. Musical and creative direction by Björk.

For co-directors Jim Henson and Frank Oz, 1982's wondrous live-action fantasy The Dark Crystal was a large, risky step away from their stable of familiar characters from Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and the theatrical Muppet movies. The five-year filmmaking process was a constant process of creating and testing new materials, devices, and performance techniques to fully realize Henson's storyline, which centers on a world where an evil race of sybaritic bird-monsters called Skekis rule over a magical purple crystal in a decaying castle. When a little elfin creature named Jen learns that he's meant to fulfill a prophecy and end Skeksis rule, he begins a long, incident-filled hero's journey toward their castle.
