In the spring of 1987, an undeniable front runner emerged in the race for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination: Colorado Senator Gary Hart – whose smarts and charismatic idealism seemed all but destined for the White House and the making of a new chapter in American history.
By April, Hart had opened up a gaping lead in the polls. Three weeks later, in a spectacularly public fall from grace, he was out of the race and Presidential politics forever.
Drawn from Matt Bai’s book, All The Truth Is Out, the film zeroes in on those very last few days in which Hart’s promise and Presidential hopes fell apart.
Shrek has settled down to married life with Fiona. The triplets are
a year old now, and life has become a boring routine.
Rumpelstilskin offers Shrek some hope: a return to his carefree
days, in return for one day of Shrek's life. Unfortunately
Rumpelstilskin picks the day Shrek was born, meaning he does not
exist, and no one knows him. With only one day to get a kiss from
Fiona to break the spell, Shrek has his work cut out convincing his
friends that they are his friends.

A local biker-gang leader (Mickey Rourke), despite reforming his
ways, is still the hero of local adolescents. His younger brother
(Matt Dillon) idolises him, even though his mentor strives to
persuade him that he has done nothing to be proud of. Shot in black
and white (with occasional touches of colour), this is an
atmospheric rites-of-passage tale with a musical score by Stewart
Copeland and featuring many members of the so-called eighties 'Brat
Pack'.
Box set of eight classic Clint Eastwood films. In 'Play Misty for
Me' (1971) Dave Garland (Clint Eastwood) is a Californian DJ who
runs a late night call-in show, and receives regular requests from
a female caller for Erroll Garner's 'Misty'. The fan, Evelyn Draper
(Jessica Walter), turns out to be a maniacal stalker. In the
western 'High Plains Drifter' (1973) the unwelcome arrival of a
stranger (Eastwood) in the town of Lagos causes resentment and fear
among the locals. However, when they come under threat from a band
of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfolk turn
for salvation. In 'The Beguiled' (1970), during the American Civil
War, a wounded Union soldier (Eastwood) is taken in by the
all-female staff of a Confederate Louisiana girls' school as their
'prize'. However, the soldier cunningly plays the women off against
each other, working on their sexual frustrations and biding his
time until he can make an escape. 'Breezy' (1973) is an
Eastwood-directed effort in which Breezy (Kay Lenz) is a teenage
hippy hitchhiker taken advantage of by a ruthless rotter who wants
to use her for sex. She escapes in a remote area and meets kindly
middle-aged man Frank Harmon (William Holden) whom she hopes will
take her in. Harmon is (rightfully) reluctant and his worst
imaginable scenario comes true when the impressionable teen falls
in love with him. In 'Joe Kidd' (1972) Eastwood plays a drunken
tracker coerced by American business tycoon Robert Duvall to go in
search of Mexican agitator John Saxon. The film is scripted by
renowned crime writer Elmore Leonard. In 'Two Mules for Sister
Sarah' (1969) a gold-digger (Eastwood) in old Mexico shows his
fundamentally noble nature by saving a 'nun' (Shirley Maclaine)
from being raped. She turns out in fact to be a prostitute, and the
odd couple team up, facing continual confrontation with the French
forces. In 'Coogan's Bluff' (1968) Eastwood is Arizona deputy Walt
Coogan, sent to New York city to escort a prisoner home. The
prisoner isn't ready to be transferred back to Arizona so Coogan
cuts a few corners. This helps the prisoner escape and, after
Coogan clashes with the Sherrif McElroy (Lee J. Cobb), he is
ordered back to Arizona. In 'The Eiger Sanction' (1975) college
lecturer Jonathan Hemlock (Eastwood) tops up his university
paypacket by carrying out the occasional assassination. His latest
assignment involves joining a climbing expedition up the Eiger,
identifying the Russian killer amongst the group, and then
neutralising his threat.

Based on Peter Morgan's stage play, Ron Howard directs this
dramatised account of the 1977 TV interviews between scandalised
former President Richard Nixon and British talk-show host David
Frost. Three years after the Watergate scandal that led to his
demise, former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) sat down
with Frost (Michael Sheen) to discuss, for the first and only time,
the details of his term in the White House and his spectacular fall
from grace. With the famously steely Nixon confident that he could
come out tops in the encounter, and Frost's side questioning
whether this was a step too far, media commentators prepared
themselves for a PR exercise. But when the interviews got underway,
observers were astonished when both men abandoned their usual
stances, and chose to conduct an open, honest and frank exchange of
views, covering all the areas of concern that had previously
remained off-limits. In addition to covering the interviews
themselves, the film also traces the difficulties that had to be
overcome, and egos that had to massaged, before the historic events
could finally take place.
A sixteen year-old orphan, Sylvie, is sent as a boarder to a
special school where the malaise Anglaise is the rule and every
misdemeanour an excuse for baring female rumps and administering a
sound spanking. The head-mistress is in fact a man in disguise, and
Sylvie the pupil soon becomes Sylvie the lover in this bizarre
gallic homage to chastisement.
