Where's Marlowe? -- After making a 3-hour fiasco about New York City's water supply, a two-man film crew decides to take it up a notch by documenting life in the private investigator offices of 'Boone and Murphy'.

The adventures of summer beckon to "The Stinkers," a group of mischievous misfits so named by Mr. Brinway, the weary headmaster of the Summer Program at upscale Dartmoor Academy. During a humdrum field trip to the Springville Aquarium, The Stinkers get the bright idea to kidnap Slappy the Sea Lion and return him to his ocean home. Unfortunately, there's another sea lion-napper on the premises, and he has other plans for Slappy's future... in a Bulgarian circus! The Stinkers manage to get Slappyback to Dartmoor only long enough for him to wreak havoc on Parent's Day and get the Stinkers expelled... leaving the poor sea lion in the hands of the evil animal broker! The Stinkers will have to pull out all the stops to save Slappy from circus life and redeem themselves in the eyes of Mr. Brinway!

Artfully directed by Richard Benjamin, Racing with the Moon is a film so tender, so insightful, so full of heart that you'll never quite forget it. This is the story of Henry "Hopper" Nash (Sean Penn) and his buddy Nicky (Nicolas Cage) enjoying their last boyish exploits before they enter the Marines. Elizabeth McGovern portrays Penn's mysterious girlfriend. What ensues is a tender, bittersweet tale of lost innocence and the trauma of growing up too fast. The result is a magic moment, brilliantly captured within the emotional crosscurrent of America's most dramatic time.
