Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford star in this political thriller about the Watergate scandal that brought down President Nixon. Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein (Hoffman) and Bob Woodward (Redford), aided by the White House mole Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), thwart Nixon's attempted cover-up after his agents are caught breaking in to the Watergate complex in 1972. The film won four Academy Awards including Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Jason Robards) and Best Writing, Screenplay Based On Material from Another Medium and was nominated for another four including Best Picture and Best Director.
Fletch (Chevy Chase), a reporter with a habit of assuming different disguises, flies to the enormous Louisiana home left to him in a will, only to find it a ruin. Before he can leave, a woman drops dead and he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery. Sequel to the 1985 original.
In Harold, the beloved actor Hal Holbrook presents an affecting memoir about his struggle to discover his true self, even as he learned to transform himself onstage. Abandoned by his mother and father when he was two, Holbrook and his two sisters commenced separate journeys of survival. Raised by his powerful grandfather, who died when Holbrook was twelve, Holbrook spent his childhood at boarding schools, visiting his father in an insane asylum and hoping his mother would suddenly surface in Hollywood. As World War II engulfed Europe, Holbrook began acting almost by accident. Through war, marriage, and the work of honing his craft, his fear of insanity and his fearlessness in the face of risk were channelled into discovering that the riskiest path of all-success as an actor-would be his birthright. The climb up that forbidding mountain was a lonely one. And how he achieved it - the cost to his wife and children and to his own conscience - is the dark side of the fame he would eventually earn by portraying the man his career would forever be most closely associated with: Mark Twain.
Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon star in this drama based on the historical novel by Sara Gruen, following the adventures of a young vet working in a travelling circus during America's Great Depression in the 1930s. After his parents are killed in a car accident, promising Ivy League student Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson) suffers an emotional breakdown and runs away before graduating, eventually finding work as a vet with the down-at-heel Benzini Brothers circus. There he meets a host of colourful characters including tyrannical animal trainer August (Christoph Waltz) and his beautiful wife Marlena (Witherspoon).
