MIDNIGHTS @ THE DEL MAR PRESENTS

Space Jam

Warner Bros. attempted to revitalize its animation division with this family adventure that blended live action and animation in the style of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), reportedly coming in with a price tag of $100 million. Basketball legend Michael Jordan stars as himself, a retired sports hero trying his hand at baseball and failing miserably. Meanwhile, the Looney Tunes gang, led by Bugs Bunny, are kidnapped by aliens called the Nerdlucks. It seems that the Nerdlucks' theme park, Moron Mountain (a barely-veiled dig at Disney) is failing to attract customers. The space invaders are convinced that the appearance of Bugs and his pals Porky Pig and Speedy Gonzalez will beef up business. Bugs makes his captors a deal -- they'll play a game of basketball for their freedom. When the Nerdlucks stack the deck by pilfering the talent of NBA superstars Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing, the Warner Bros. heroes enlist the aid of Jordan, who returns to the court to help the classic characters. While he prepares to play, Jordan is aided by fellow celebrity Bill Murray. Director Joe Pytka previously created many of the television commercials that featured Jordan as a paid endorser.

Love Is All You Need

Returning from her final, successful chemotherapy treatment, Ida (Trine Dyrholm) arrives home only to find her boorish husband Leif in a compromising position with a ditzy co-worker. Stricken, she takes off to Sorrento alone to attend the wedding of her daughter in a beautiful Italian villa, where the lemon groves and cypress trees form the perfect backdrop for a young couple who appear to be blissfully in love. Unexpectedly, Leif arrives with his new bimbo paramour in tow, leading Ida to give her husband a piece of her mind — and a face full of champagne. This display does little to impress Patrick's no-nonsense father Philip (Pierce Brosnan), a dashing but brooding widower who seems less than pleased with his life, his son, and his soon-to-be in-laws. When the young couple's future happiness is suddenly jeopardized, Ida and Philip are brought together to try to set things right — and find that life might have a second chance in store for them as well.

Having just earned a tidy $100 million for taking down a ruthless criminal kingpin, Dom and Brian (Paul Walker) have decided to lie low for a while. Fugitives from the law, they're constantly looking over their shoulders, no matter where they travel. Meanwhile, the malevolent leader of an elusive criminal outfit (Luke Evans) has incurred the wrath of Agent Hobbs, who has decided that the only way to shut them down is to beat them on their own turf.
