The Rules Of The Game ~ The Evolution of Rollerball Murder

  Let’s face it. Most fictional sports created for the screen or page tend to come across as contrived, silly and, well, fictional. “Rollerball” is not one of them. The futuristic game of “Rollerball” has achieved a rare state among fictional creations. In the 1975 movie starring James Caan, the filmmakers were effectively able to [...]

The U.S. vs John Lennon (documentary)

In retrospect, it seems absurd that the United States government felt so threatened by the presence of John Lennon that they tried to have him deported. But that’s what happened, as chronicled in directors David Leaf and John Scheinfeld’s The U.S. vs. John Lennon. The film starts with a familiar look at the former Beatle’s [...]

Moon

A truly unique film: It is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine Earths primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Taped messages [...]

What’s Wrong With The BBC ?
