ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
Director: Peter H. Hunt
This eighth adaptation of the timeless Mark Twain novel casts Elijah Wood as Huckleberry Finn, the half-literate son of a drunk who runs away from home and follows the Mississippi River with an escaped slave named Jim (Courtney S. Vance). Along the way, the duo encounter adventures with colorful characters like The King (Jason Robards) and the Duke (Robbie Coltrane), two con men who impersonate British visitors in order to swindle two sisters out of their fortune, and Susan Wilks (Laura Bundy), the spunky 12-year-old girl who gives Huck his first kiss. Jim also re-educates Huck away from the racist views that he has grown up with. Not the most in-depth version of Twain's tale, The Adventures Of Huck Finn is a solid retelling of the classic story.

MAN FRIDAY
Director: Jack Gold
This subversively satirical variation on the Robinson Crusoe tale is a cheeky critique of colonization, race relations and the class struggle. Crusoe, a shipwrecked British mariner, encounters several natives visiting from a nearby island. Defending his territory, he kills all but one, and bullies lone survivor Friday into a life of servitude and hard labor. Crusoe force-feeds his free-spirited servant the culture, language and mores of Western society. But the more fun-loving, communal living Friday learns, the less he chooses to obey. Eventually, he rebels against his colonizer and exposes the faulty logic on which this strange thing called "civilization" was founded.
