Armageddon -- A large asteroid is heading directly toward Earth.

The true story of Graeme Obree, the champion cyclist who built his bicycle from old bits of washing machines who won his championship only to have his title stripped from him and his mental health problems which he has suffered since.

Stand up comedian Terry played by Martin Lawrence ("Bad Boys II," "Big Mommas House") is a local funny man who is in trouble. He can't pay his $67 phone bill. He drives a car that has only one gear, reverse. He is struggling trying to make it at a local comedy club called Dukie's. He is messing around with the owner's wife in an attempt to get more attention at the club. It turns out that the owner, Dukie played by John Witherspoon ("Friday," "Next Friday"), is trying to hook up with the star attraction of his club, Aretha. Aretha is a self-important diva, the kind of empowered, uplifted black woman who feels secure in her abilities and possibilities and she has a huge boyfriend who promises to hurt anybody he catches laughing at his love. What follows is a night of comedy, romance, comedy, action, comedy, and Terry trying to get the $67.

Scripter Jeb Stuart (Die Hard) made his directorial debut with this thriller about an FBI agent in pursuit of a serial killer. Politically ambitious Amarillo police chief Jack McGinnis (William Fichtner) uses a local murder to gain votes in his campaign, a setback for Sheriff Buck Olmstead (R. Lee Ermey), up for re-election. The situation looks better for Olmstead after FBI agent Frank LaCrosse (Dennis Quaid) arrives to track the killer. LaCrosse has a personal agenda: he's convinced this killer is the man who kidnapped his son. Meanwhile, ex-medical student Lane Dixon (Jared Leto), hitchhiking across New Mexico, gets a lift from friendly Bob Goodall (Danny Glover), a former rail worker who later rescues Dixon from menacing miners in a bar. Red herrings throughout conceal the true identity of the killer. Some scenes were filmed at an altitude of 10,000 feet in Red Cliff, Colorado. Working titles include: Going West in America, Going West. Shown at the 1997 Denver Film Festival.
