A V.I. police marine unit rescued two men near Savanna Island off St. Thomas on Thursday afternoon.
Police Commissioner Franz Christian said the two unidentified men were en route to St. Thomas. About 3 p.m. a friend of the two men went to the marine unit in Krum Bay to report that he had been called by the boaters that their vessel had begun to take on water.
The marine unit responded, pulled the two men off the disabled vessel and returned to St. Thomas.
Christian could not address the fate of the crippled vessel or say where the men were coming from.

"The Wedding Planner" stars Jennifer Lopez as the planner, a secretly bereft soul named Mary who plans weddings for others, as opposed to her own. It's quite a lucrative business and only a true insider ( you, the audience), could see that she is bereft.
Well, one day whilst planning somebody's nuptials, she takes one look at the groom ( Matthew McConaughey), and that's it. Oooh and aaah. She's smitten. Whatever can she do now? Well, make a movie of it.
It is said that Jennifer Lopez is no Julia Roberts, in the inevitable comparison with "My Best Friend's Wedding," where Robert won hearts all around with a remarkable performance ( and, it is said, a far better script). She also had benefit of Rupert Everett as her marvelously gay sidekick.
McConaughey's performance has been called "mortally ordinary." However, on the sidelines, veteran actors, Joanna Gleason, as a thoroughly enjoyable tippling mother of the bride, and Fred Willard, capering around as a ballroom dance instructor, bring redeeming features to a movie that, apparently, could use them. Oh, by the way, groom Mc Conaughey's ersatz bride, a snotty, elite type, is played by Bridgette Wilson.
It is directed by Adam Shankman, and rated PG-13 for language and some sexual humor.
It starts Thursday at Sunny Isle Theaters.

"Finding Forrester" brings together as unlikely a set of talents as you'd want to spend two and a half hours with. That's a lot of time. Some say perhaps too much.
Anyhow, Forrester (Sean Connery) is a crusty, old reclusive writer living in a mostly black Bronx ghetto who is drawn out of his shell by a young African-American college student, Jamal (Robert Brown), who has a basketball scholarship and a knack for the written word.
Sound corny? Well, the saving grace is director Gus Van Sant who saves the story from prohibitive sentimentality, according to most of the people who review movies.
Forrester wrote a hugely successful novel about 40 years ago, after which he hasn't strayed far from the family apartment in the South Bronx. Critics wonder if the appearance of Jamal in Forrester's life is enough reason to bring about the about face in Forrester, as he takes on the task of mentoring Jamal.
Jamal attends an elite prep school on his scholarship where he has to contend with a hostile instructor, none other than F. Murray Abraham, who did a bang-up job of tormenting Motzart in "Amadeus."
This is a film debut for Brown, and by all accounts, a very good one. Reviews say he captures Jamal's intelligence as well as his street smarts. And he wins over Connery in the process, so he must know a thing or two – after all, 007 you may remember, is nobody's fool.
The movie is rated PG-13 for some language and sexual reference.
It is playing at Diamond Cinemas.

Ang Lee has taken the martial arts movie out of the high kick genre, and into high art in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." This is the expressed opinion several movie critics, who rarely ever agree on anything.
And they just might have something. Director Ang's career has always been exciting as he moves between such different dramatic venues as "Ride with the Devil," Sense and Sensibility," and "The Ice Storm." His obsession with his childhood upbringing on sword-slashing Hong Kong epics is evident in this film, but with a difference.
"The film is a kind of dream of China that probably never existed except in by boyhood fantasies in Taiwan," Ang has said of the movie. He also said, "The film isn't crafted in a realistic style, but is choreographed as a kind of martial art."
Having said that, the film explores familial relationships, as have his previous films. Here we have the legendary martial arts guru Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) about to retire, and to pass on his sword, the Green Destiny, to a friend.
However, his talented, fight-crazy daughter Jen (Zhang Ziyi) slyly appropriates it first. Jen is far more interested in controlling her own destiny – with the help of the Green Destiny – than she is in her upcoming arranged marriage to a diplomat. This is just the beginning of travails to come.
There's no easy answer to the family dilemma here, no matter how many fortune cookies they break open.
Action choreographer Yuen Wo Ping, ("Matrix") stages fights, or dances, that flow over rooftops, rivers and bamboo trees with the action punctuated by cello solos from Yo Yo Ma, yes the real one. Well, could you ask for anything more?
Produced and directed by Lee, it is rated PG-13 for martial arts violence and some sexuality. It is written by five different writers, which usually is a sign to stay home with a good book, but, apparently, not here.
It starts Thursday at Diamond Cinemas.

A former police officer on St. Croix was in U.S. District Court on Thursday following an indictment handed down by a grand jury on Tuesday. It was the fourth indictment this week against current or former officers on St. Croix.
Lawrence Benjamin, who resigned from the force in November after eight years, pleaded not guilty at his advice of rights hearing before Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Resnick on Thursday. Benjamin’s hearing followed that of officer Adrian Williams, who was indicted on a variety of charges with two other officers on Tuesday. Williams also pleaded not guilty.
Thursday’s court action followed that of Wednesday, when Luis Torres and John Hardy were released on $25,000 bail by Resnick. Williams was also released on $25,000 bail. Torres, Hardy and Williams were indicted as a result of an ongoing FBI investigation into 13 charges of civil rights violations, theft and unlawful arrest.
Benjamin, who has a detention hearing set for Friday afternoon, faces eight charges, including attempted murder, civil rights violations, using a firearm during a crime of violence and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
According to the indictment against the former officer, on Nov. 9, 1999, Benjamin allegedly shot Ray Romero in the leg under the color of the law. Additionally, Benjamin is accused of breaking into a home in order to get 103 pounds of cocaine, which he intended to distribute.
Torres, Williams, both three-year veterans, and Hardy, a six-year veteran, are accused of conspiring to injure, threaten, oppress and intimidate two men on Dec. 4, 1999. Hardy is also charged with filing a false police report in regard to an arrest by the three officers.
Jury selection for all four officers is set for sometime after April 9.
The current spate of indictments follows convictions of three St. Croix officers on a variety of charges last July, including civil rights violations, assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a handgun, and oppression. Ronald Pickard, Dean Bates and Renaldo Philbert are in a federal prison on Puerto Rico awaiting sentencing for incidents that occurred between Jan. 1, 1995 and Oct. 31, 1999. The civil rights violations carry a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison while the handgun violations carry five-year sentences.
A fourth officer, Victor Suarez, was also accused of a number of crimes, but was freed after the jury couldn’t agree on three of the counts levied against him and found him not guilty on the others. He has since resigned from the force.
