Seventies made-for-TV wilderness film about a man who gets bitten by a skunk, and, fearing rabies, chains himself to the barn and orders his family not to come near him, no matter how rational he may seem. Well, it isn't long before a crisis comes along that only dear old and possibly rabid dad can handle: locating the blockage of the river, their only source of water, and a flood danger if the blockage is not removed. With his family afraid to go near him, he pleads with them to free him. Could this be a ploy to escape and infect the rest of his clan? Reviews Los Angeles Times 09/21/1990 "...A fine family film, an appealing survival-in-the-wilderness saga of much natural beauty and minimal sentimentality..."

| Examining the 1970s, the decade that has come to be seen as North American cinema's most revolutionary and experimental, this reverent documentary directed by Richard LaGravenese and the late Ted Demme interviews a handful of the key players and survivors of that fertile time. Beginning with EASY RIDER (1969) and other offshoots of producer/director Roger Corman's virtual training ground for young directors at b-movie studio American International Pictures, DECADE traces the trajectory of filmmakers such as Dennis Hopper, Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, William Friedkin, and Paul Schrader. With clips from TAXI DRIVER, SHAMPOO, MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, THE GODFATHER, and many more, the film conveys the richness of talent that the 1970s film world possessed. But the birth of the blockbuster (namely JAWS and STAR WARS) raised the studios' expectations for financial performance in the industry, virtually killing the chances of riskier productions--a development which gave birth to the thriving independent scene we know today. While even the filmmakers go out of their way to point out that their film is by no means all-inclusive, A DECADE UNDER THE INFLUENCE is flashy and informative, a trip well worth taking for both the novice cinema-goer and film scholar alike. |

| Canadian director David Cronenberg, whose impressive oeuvre includes such disparate works as THE DEAD ZONE, THE FLY, DEAD RINGERS, M. BUTTERFLY, and SPIDER, has made what might be the best film of his career with A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Loosely based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen as Tom Stall, a quiet, easygoing family man who runs a diner in a small Indiana town. But when two dangerous criminals come into the restaurant prepared to wreak havoc, Stall turns hero and shoots them both. After Stall's story is blasted all over the media, Philly mobster Carl Fogaty (an excellent Ed Harris) shows up, claiming that Tom is actually former hit man Joey Cusack--and they've got some important business to finish. While Stall insists that Fogaty is mistaken, his family--his wife, Edie (Maria Bello); teenage son, Jack (Ashton Holmes); and young daughter, Sarah (Heidi Hayes)--gets dragged into the danger that constantly threatens to explode. Cronenberg, whose films often deal with the fantastical, the futuristic, and the supernatural, has done a masterly job creating a wholly believable modern world where evil lurks just around the corner. Howard Shore's tense, moody music complements the outstanding acting in a violent, powerful film that is not to be missed. |

In an unfortunate turn of events this film was released after the sleeper hit GREEN CARD, as it deals with the same exact subject and plot. However, while GREEN CARD succeeds as a romantic-comdey, PAPER WEDDING paints with more subtle strokes, focusing on issues of identity, integrity, and the pain of a "settling." Canadian actress Genevieve Bujold gives an exceptional performance as a middle-aged professor, self-possessed and strong, who enters a marriage of convenience with a Chilean political dissident (Manuel Aranguiz) who is faces certain death if he is extradited. When the two are forced to move in together to persuade Immigration Services that they're a genuine couple, a very human connection grows. Reviews Chicago Sun-Times 03/06/1992 "...Thoughtful, honest and affecting....Directed gracefully and with admirable restraint by Michel Brault, PAPER WEDDING speaks quietly but forcefully..."Los Angeles Times 09/20/1991 "...Michael Brault is a filmmaker with an overwhelming talent for evoking the here and now, a talent that streaks through his latest film, A PAPER WEDDING..."New York Times 06/21/1991 "...[A PAPER WEDDING] is given considerable substance by the performance of [Bujold]..."

Buzz Johnson (Bud Abbott) and Stanley Livingston (Lou Costello) go on an African safari in search of treasure. Buzz is a bookseller who tricks Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke) into believing that his fellow bookseller Stanley is an expert on Africa. They are thereby abducted by Diana's henchmen who expect the two self proclaimed hunters to lead her to an African tribe. On the way there they run up against giant apes, lion tamers, and a wild river. Eventually Buzz makes his way back to the States and Stanley lucks into some diamonds and purchases the store where they both used to work. By the end, Stanley hires Buzz to operate the elevator. Charles Barton directs some great gags and funny comedy routines in this lively film. This story contains the much-loved theme of Lou being terrorized by an evil pushy woman who eventually gets so fed up with his ineptitude that she wants him dead. Look for great comic turns by Martin Wilkins as the dreaded Cannibal Chief and Shemp Howard as Gunner.
