Gary Ross directs this sci-fi action film based on the best-selling
novel by Suzanne Collins. Jennifer Lawrence stars as 16-year-old
Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the totalitarian post-apocalyptic
country of Panem, formerly the United States. Every year, the
all-powerful ruling agency known as the Capitol selects one boy and
one girl from each of Panem's 12 impoverished rival districts to
fight to the death on live national television in a contest known
as 'The Hunger Games', in which the winner is given food to feed
their entire district for a year. When her younger sister Primrose
(Willow Shields) is selected as a contestant, Katniss steps up to
take her place in the match. Under the tutelage of inebriated
former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Katniss goes
into training for the fight of her life.

farmer Newton Knight, played by Matthew McConaughey. During the
Civil War Knight flees from the battlefield after seeing the

daughters are left starving and destitute. Gathering together other
deserters, mainly poor farmers, Knight leads a rebellion against
the Confederate Army and creates a free state. The cast also
includes Keri Russell, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Sean Bridgers.
Who Watches the Watchmen? could hardly be more timely as we debate
the recent leaking of the largest trove of documents in American
history. The "WikiLeaks" case drives home the need for what this
book lays out: an approach to protecting classified information
that goes beyond law enforcement. Gary Ross' application of
Rational Choice Theory codifies, organizes, and extends what many
of us have been trying to do instinctively when dealing with
unauthorized disclosures. In Ross'discussions of "motivations" and
"justifications," I see powerful echoes of what I personally
experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had had
access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the
courses of action it suggests while still in government. - General
Michael V. Hayden (U.S. Air Force, Retired). Former Director,
Central Intelligence Agency. Former Director, National Security
Agency/
Gary Ross book, Who Watches the Watchmen?, argues that the tension
between maintaining national security secrets and the public's
right to know cannot be "solved," but can be better understood and
more intelligently managed.

Two modern day teenagers, brother and sister David and Jennifer
(Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon), are transported by their TV
repairman into the world of Pleasantville, a 1950s sitcom which
David constantly watches. In Pleasantville the world is black and
white, there is no sex or violence, the basketball team never loses
and the library is full of blank books. But the presence of the two
teens contaminates the dream-like atmosphere, and soon colour is
spreading across the town and its inhabitants are behaving like
real people. As Pleasantville becomes more and more modern David
and Jennifer have to decide which they prefer: real life or
sugar-coated fantasy.
