What to watch at cinemas

JAKARTA (JP): The holiday mood is still in the air although many of us are back at work. Here are summaries of a couple of movies currently playing in local theaters, including the much- heralded Titanic, which may help you prepare for that inevitable Monday.

DMZ, Dead Men Can't Dance. Cast: Michael Biehn, Kathleen York, Andrian Paul. Director: Stephen M. Anderson.

The opening sequence show the failure of the CIA's special force, led by Hart (Biehn), to detect the transportation of nuclear weapons to North Korea. Capt. Victoria Ellis (York), who monitored the operation, is ordered by her superiors to undergo Rangers training.

After passing the training, Victoria and her platoon are assigned to the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas. Here, they end up helping Hart and Shooter (Paul) infiltrate a center where North Korea produces its nuclear weapons, and prove the involvement of CIA's corrupt officials in the operation.

Titanic (Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet) Director: James Cameron.

The director insists that this isn't just another disaster movie, but a romance. Expect both in three hours. On the doomed ship unfolds the story of Rose (Winslet), an upper-class American, and Jack Dawson (DiCaprio), a passenger in steerage who boards the Titanic on her maiden voyage after winning a poker game.

Rose is desperate to be free of her mother, a cageful of Edwardian etiquette, and her ruthless fiancee. Jack is her savior, who pours her with love in the brief life of the biggest liner ever. Does Cameron spare the sweethearts in the 1912 tragedy? (ste)
