A chilling drama that explores and exposes the dark side of the American Dream The Assassination of Richard Nixon focuses on the tragic true story of Sam Bicke (Sean Penn) a disillusioned everyman who in 1974 was driven to plot the assassination of the 37th president of the United States. Despite the fact that his marriage is breaking up and that he is trapped in a sales job he finds demeaning Sam tries desperately to succeed both at home and at work; all he wants is to win his family back and to start a business of his own.

(Dir. Niels Mueller 2004) The Corporation A fascinating feature length documentary expose that dissects the concept of the corporation throughout recent history up to its present-day global dominance. 150 years ago the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today it is a vivid dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. The the church the monarchy and the communist party in other times and places the corporation is today's dominant institution. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed belittled or absorbed into some new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history. In this complex and highly entertaining documentary Mark Achbar teams up with co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer Joel Bakan to examine the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation's increasing preeminence. Based on Bakan's book The Corporation: The Pursuit Of Profit And Power the film is a timely critical inquiry that invites CEOs whistle blowers brokers gurus spies players pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation's inner workings curious history controversial impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky Michael Moore Howard Zinn and many others The Corporation charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force....

Jennifer Abbott Mark Achbar 2003) Manic A troubled young man (Gordon-Levitt) is committed to a juvenile mental institution where he's forced by his counselor (Cheadle) to confront the source of his rage or face the grim prospect of a life behind bars...

  David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture - a brilliant scathing hysterical and haunting ode to Hollywood. A mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) a wide-eyed gal from Deep River Ontario has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom. When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre sun-soaked streets of the City of Angels where the mob a young film director (Justin Theroux) a studio executive with a tiny head and an enigmatic figure named the Cowboy all float into the picture then out again until there is no longer any distinction between what is dream and what is reality. Originally filmed as a pilot for the American Channel ABC Lynch's daring open-ended vision was coldly rejected by the network. As he was about to abandon the project French producer Pierre Edelman convinced Lynch to rethink it as a feature. The result is this stunning expression of the subconscious a testament to the power of personal artistic vision.

  It doesn't take a Nostradamus to see that the interconnected lives in Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger are going to be troubled indeed--and yet the clairvoyant hired by newly divorced Helena (Gemma Jones) fails to predict the complications to come. Well, then there wouldn't be a movie, would there? Helena's restless old goat of an ex-husband, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins), has taken up with a loud hooker (Lucy Punch, Dinner for Schmucks), who he somehow believes to be his dream girl. Helena's daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) is enduring her marriage to blocked novelist Roy (Josh Brolin) while growing enchanted by her boss, a gallery owner (Antonio Banderas) with an accent. Meanwhile, Roy is spending too little time writing and too much time mooning over the knockout (Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto) who lives in the apartment across the street. Allen's morose-go-round spreads itself across this collection of potentially intriguing people, yet the individual scenes feel slack and under-rehearsed, and the London locations are basically irrelevant. And while the cast is stocked with talented players, almost everybody looks slightly miscast, so the film doesn't seem to have an anchor anywhere. It comes to an interesting ending, but by then Allen's purpose seems increasingly casual--when what this roundelay really needs is urgency. --Robert Horton
