AWAKENINGS
(Encore on Comcast) Fascinating, moving, and exhilarating account of a ward full of sleeping sickness patients brought back to life by a miracle drug, only to face unforeseen trouble. Robin Williams, as the empathetic doc, and Robert De Niro, as the most eloquent of the patients, are brilliant. (PG-13; runs through Sept. 3)

FRIGHT NIGHT
(Comcast Free Movies) Smart, funny comedy of horrors that revamps the Dracula legend for the teen market. (R; runs through Sept. 2)

CAPE FEAR
(Encore on Comcast) Not one of the great Martin Scorsese films, and not as primally scary as the original, but Scorsese’s virtuosity and Robert De Niro’s vengeful redneck Terminator - he suggests Jerry Lee Lewis turned satanic - will keep you from growing bored. (R; runs through Sept. 3)
