Babbit. Key cast: Agnes Bruckner, Madeline Zima, Shawn Ashmore. Sara is an ambitious, beautiful 20 year old working her way through her sophomore year at Browning College. Alex, gorgeous and privileged, takes Sara under her wing. As the two girls become closer, a sexual tension develops between them. Alex and Sara commiserate over their respective enemies and Alex half jokingly suggests that they should kill off each other’s nemeses. No one will suspect them because of a lack of motive and all their problems would disappear. Sara shrugs off the suggestion as a morbid joke, until someone turns up dead. Gray 2

KIKORIKI: TEAM INVINCIBLE (Russia) 85mins. Lightning Entertainment. Dir: Denis Chernov.
The lovable inhabitants of the remote island of Kikoriki have it all — laughs, good friends and a distant paradise unspoiled by modern woes. But the lives of the Kikoriki gang are suddenly turned upside- down when they stumble on a strange device they had only heard about — a television. Misinterpreting the super-hero show they see on this wonderous box as reality (and misunderstanding nearly everything else they see on screen) the gang are drawn into a zany adventure far beyond their wildest dreams — an adventure which catapults them across the vast ocean to the heart of the Big City itself. Will these rebels without a clue survive the real evil of the mighty metropolis and find their way back home? Lerins 1
