"i, Madman"

For everyone who believes that fact is stranger than fiction there can be nothing in the world more fascinating than the search for the truth behind the most extraordinary mysteries and myths of the Twentieth Century.

A useless sequel to the minor hit from 1973, Westworld, this one imagines a couple of reporters, print man Chuck Browning (Fonda, The Cannonball Run) and TV hotshot Tracy Ballard (Danner, Alice), investigating the Delos-owned, newly revamped amusement park for the rich, which is now said to be a lot less dangerous. They are one of the few to enter the cost-inhibitive theme park who aren't a multimillionaire or prestigious leader of nations, and though things seem to be quite tame from all appearances, Browning's skeptical nature has him digging in places he doesn't belong. Inevitably, Chuck discovers there's a sinister plot beneath the fun facade, whereby humans and robot replicas become virtually indistinguishable, which, when you have world leaders coming to your party, can be a beneficial thing indeed, if you're a criminal mastermind that is.

This complex, highly cerebral sci-fi thriller concerns a father and son, each situated in two separate time periods - one inhabiting the present, and another living forty years in the future. Each senses the same conspiracy afoot, and begins searching for answers; instead of attaining deeper insights into external events, the men find that their investigations drive them into states of endless introspection. Ultimately, each must grapple with the same Faustian bargain - and each makes a very different choice.

Sequestered in his home, a disgraced President Richard Milhous Nixon arms himself with a bottle of scotch and a gun to record memoirs that no one will hear. He is surrounded by the silent portraits of Lincoln, Eisenhower, Kissinger, and his mother, as he resurrects his past in a passionate attempt to defend himself and his political legacy. Based on the original play by Donald Freed and Arnold M. Stone, and starring Philip Baker Hall in a tour de force solo performance, Robert Altman’s Secret Honor is a searing interrogation of the Nixon mystique and an audacious depiction of unchecked paranoia.

In November 1937, high school student and aspiring thespian Richard Samuels takes a day trip into New York City. There, he meets and begins a casual friendship with Gretta Adler, their friendship based on a shared love and goal of a profession in the creative arts. But also on this trip, Richard stumbles across the Mercury Theatre and meets Orson Welles, who, based on an impromptu audition, offers Richard an acting job as Lucius in his modern retelling of Julius Caesar, which includes such stalwart Mercury Theatre players as Joseph Cotten and George Coulouris…..

The six-film Herzog/Kinski boxed set is a sleek compilation of a visionary cinematic collaboration. The history of cinema is dotted with great directors who have found an actor whose face, voice, and style capture that director's point of view: Josef Von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich; John Ford and John Wayne; Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. In 1972, the German director Werner Herzog cast Polish actor Klaus Kinski in Aguirre, the Wrath of God–the result was perhaps the definitive film for both. Kinski had previously made almost 100 films, but his malevolent role–as a Spanish conquistador obsessed with finding gold–shot him into international stardom.

The Northern Iran winters are so cold that the Kurdish smugglers who live there feed their mules alcohol so that they will carry loads over the mountain passes. In this world of high-risk border crossings and death by land mine, a fatherless young boy named Ayoub scrapes out a living doing odd tasks, supporting his sisters and crippled brother. This may seem like a recipe for seventy-seven minutes of misery, but the director Bahman Ghobadi's affection for his subjects gives the film a certain lightness. He takes the raw materials of his homeland-the harsh landscape, communal rooms, and lambent-eyed children-and fashions a visual poem. Ghobadi documents his subjects without intruding, and the results are quietly enthralling.
