TV SHOW
Carnivàle
Into each generation is born a creature of light and a creature of darkness - 1934, America. The Dustbowl of the Midwest. A fugitive named Ben Hawkins finds refuge within a traveling carnival comprised of several strange characters. The boy is concealing an untapped paranormal gift, while on the other side of the country, Brother Justin Crowe has begun to discover and practice his own extraordinary talents. This is their journey. Their battle. Our future. (One of the best shows HBO ever produced.)
MOVIE
6/14/06 - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
An anatomically incorrect rock odyssey - Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a sex-change operation in order to marry him and flee to the West. Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to and, years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at dive restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig ... but then left, taking all her songs with him. (A high-strung transsexual and a Trent Reznor wannabe ... you have to see it to believe it.)
6/21/06 - Office Space
Did you get the memo? - Peter Gibbons hates his job, his girlfriend is cheating on him, and his boss loves to make him work weekends. To try to relax, he goes to a hypno-therapist, who puts him in a state of bliss ... then the therapist drops dead. What happens when a cubicle drone suddenly finds the freedom to let it all go? (This comedy is from Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill.)
6/28/06 - Returner (Ritana)
Who cares about the future? - After an alien invasion threatens to annihilate the human race, a young girl travels back in time - from 2084 to 2002 - and enlists the reluctant aid of skilled Tokyo gunman to discover and prevent the start of the war. The trouble? A Japanese mafia boss is somehow involved in the start of the war. Can they stop the oncoming destruction of Earth and save the entire future? (Amazing, futuristic visual effects from our favorite filmmakers, the Japanese; subtitled.)
7/5/06 - Blue Velvet
It's a strange world - A young man returns to his home town after being away and discovers a severed human ear in a field. Not satisfied with the police's pace to solve where it came from, he and the police detective's daughter carry out their own investigation. The object of his investigation turns out to be a beautiful, seductive, and mysterious woman involved with a violent - and perversely evil - man. (David Lynch at his best: Discovering what lies beneath the idyllic suburban landscape of America.)
7/12/06 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
Wherever you go ... there you are - Buckaroo Banzai is a rock-star / brain-surgeon / comic book character / samurai / race-car driver / inventor / philosopher / superhero who, along with his group The Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil creatures from the 8th dimension - all of them named John - who are trying to conquer our dimension. (This very weird, very cool sci-fi comedy from the early 80s Stars Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, and Ellen Barkin!)
