At The Movies...

The Iron Giant

A magical film that delivers a touching story of friendship without any of the standard Disney fare (sidekicks, teacups bursting into song).  The Iron Giant focuses on a rambunctious child named Hogarth who befriends a mechanical marvel.  Set in 1957, when paranoia and the Soviet threat were both at an all time high, Hogarth and the Giant must combine forces to overcome the military that view him as a monster and a threat.  Wonderful animation that leaves the viewer with awe, and a compelling moral that teaches us that humans can be the least humane of all.

On Video...

EDtv

In order to offset a ratings slide, a local cable channel comes up with the idea of putting one ordinary person's life, a thirtysomething video store clerk (Matthew McConuaghey), on TV 24 hours a day. Dubbed Edtv, the show becomes a hit. But what at first seems like a good idea soon turns sour as the young man's family life begins to deteriorate. Directed by Ron Howard and co-starring Jenna Elfman and Woody Harrelson, this film is a bittersweet look at the price of fame.
