In February 2021, Joe Biden released the CIA report that concluded
the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia 'was responsible' for the
assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The
Saudi secret service lured him into the Saudi diplomatic mission in
Istanbul on 2 October 2018, dismembered him, and packed him into
five suitcases. Crime writer Owen Wilson has forensically gathered
all the known facts about the slaughter, what we know happened
exactly, and what prompted the most demonic conspiracy of the
twenty-first century. Chilling to the core and informative about
Middle Eastern politics.
This is the screenplay for the acclaimed film, directed by Wes Anderson. There were three extraordinary children in the Tenenbaum family: Chas Tenenbaum (Ben Stiller) was a financial expert and started buying real estate in his early teens; Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) was an acclaimed playwright and won a Pulitzer Prize in the 9th grade; Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) was a champion tennis player ranked 2nd in the world by the age 17. They were brilliant. They were famous. They were unlucky enough to be the children of a man named Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman). Now for the first time in 25 years, they're all living together under the same roof. After having largely gone their separate ways they're looking to mend fences—and themselves in the process.

When Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), former winner of the coveted
Male Model of the Year award, goes to work for up-and-coming
fashion designer Mugatu (Will Ferrell), he has no idea that he is
walking into a complex web of political intrigue and murder. Mugatu
is planning the assassination of a Malaysian politician whose
campaign against exploitative child labour looks set to cut into
the fashion industry's proft margin, and he sees Zoolander as the
perfect person to pull the trigger. The designer brainwashes the
model so that he will perform the assassination as soon as he hears
the Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic 'Relax', and then sits back
and waits for the politician's scheduled appearance at an imminent
New York fashion event. Will Derek realise the threat he poses in
time to prevent the murder? Or will the cruel and ruthless fashion
industry triumph once again?
Rushmore is the story of a gifted, iconoclastic youth called Max Fischer, a 10th-grader at the elite, conservative Rushmore Academy, who rocks the boat with his restless intellect and madcap entrepreneurial schemes which tend towards failure. Editor of the school paper, captain or president of innumerable clubs and societies, director of the radical theater company Max Fischer Players—Max is also one of the worst students in the school, and the threat of expulsion hangs permanently over his head. But Max's own world is rocked when he falls for elegant 1st-grade teacher Miss Cross, and plans to erect an aquarium at Rushmore in her honor—then finds himself competing for her favor with his friend, steel tycoon Mr. Blume, the wealthy father of two of his classmates.
Hailed by critics everywhere as a fresh, funny, endearing, and intelligently crafted motion picture, Rushmore is the second work from the team of Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, which follows the success of their debut screenplay and film Bottle Rocket.
