Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is a family man cop who is about to
turn fifty. Cautious by nature, he is less than happy to be paired
with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) when he is assigned to investigate
Californian drug baron 'The General' (Mitchell Ryan). Following the
death of his wife, Riggs has become a manic loner who no longer
cares whether he lives or dies; an approach which causes more than
a few problems as he and Murtaugh attempt to bring the General to
justice.
Fairfield, including its village of Southport, is steeped in
tradition and is rich in history. Many people who call this coastal
Connecticut community
home already know that Fairfield was founded in 1639 by Roger
Ludlow and was visited in 1789 by Pres. George Washington, who
actually spent the night at the Sun Tavern. However, do they also
know the history of Pulpit Rock or for that matter, could they
locate it? What about the granite planter at the junction of Main
Street, Center Street, and Harbor Road--do they know the story
behind that? Those residents who "remember Fairfield when . . .,"
as well as those with a desire to learn more about "Fairfield when
. . .," will be fascinated by Fairfield and Southport.
Hood drama follows single dad trying to retrieve abducted son.
Former gang-banging single dad O2 (Tyrese Gibson) is suddenly
plunged into a do-or-die situation; trying to go straight for his
son, Junior's sake, this recently paroled ex-con is forced to go
back outside the law after his son is kidnapped in a carjacking.
The resulting chase and shootout have left Junior in the hands of
Meat (The Game), the vicious leader of the Outlaw Syndicate. O2's
shady cousin Lucky (Larenz Tate) tries to mediate, but is torn
between criminal and family loyalties. The only person willing to
help O2 get his son back is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Meagan
Good), whose path fatefully crossed O2's just moments before the
kidnapping. When Lucky gets word to O2 that Meat expects $100,000
for Junior's freedom, O2 and Coco seize the opportunity to pit
rival elements of the South Los Angeles underworld against each
other. 'It's either all or nothing,' realizes O2. With the clock
ticking down, the heat between O2 and Coco rises as they become a
lawbreaking couple, on a tear through a range of Los Angeles
neighborhoods. Can they outwit the underworld and save Junior and
themselves?
