Disney's bold warrior comes to video

It's a new Video Preview. Sorry to say that it'll be some time before "Shakespeare In Love" busts onto the video scene, so for the time being we'll have to settle for "Mulan." In the tradition of such Disney classics as "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid," comes this tale of a female who dresses as a man so that she can fight in a war. With courage rivaling that of Rose from "Titanic," Mulan fights the good fight in the name of her country.

The husband-to-be of "Friends" star Courteney Cox, brother-in-law of Nicholas Cage, brother of Alexis, Rosanna and Patricia and just plain good guy, David Arquette takes a break from playing Dewey to star in "The Alarmist." Wife of Steven Spielberg, friend of Tom Hanks, amigo of the Clintons and all-around soccer mom, Kate "Da Great" Capshaw also stars in this alarming movie about a security system salesman. Fans of the Arquette clan will be pleased to know that two of David's other family mem

bers, Lewis and Richmond, star alongside this goofy genius for the next century.

Let's face it, there's definitely something about Cameron Diaz. Especially, in her award winning role of Mary in "There's Something About Mary." This picture takes the dry as toast genre of romantic comedies and spices it up with sneaky hair gel, a mean dog and other wonders of the world. Ben Stiller tries his hand at something different but his little experiment is zipped in the bud. After getting caught up in bringing his performance together, Stiller slams the screen with his wacky brand of comedy. Also appearing are Matt Dillon, "league MVP" Brett Favre and Chris Elliott. For the three of you who haven't seen this, rent it: You'll laugh til your next Bio exam or trip to a late night diner.
