Along for the Ride
Method actor, filmmaker, art collector, and all-American anarchist—the many sides of the legendary Hollywood maverick Dennis Hopper are explored in Nick Ebeling’s documentary. Drawing heavily from the testimony of Hopper’s right-hand man Satya De La Manitou, it features previously unseen photos and footage that span the triumph of Easy Rider, the magnificent career suicide of The Last Movie, and a midlife comeback after an overwhelming amount of booze and brawling.
Surviving the Game
Mason, who lives on the streets, wants to cease his life when on the same day his two best friends die: His dog and an older man with whom he shared his food and roof. Just in time Cole, from a charity organization, can prevent his suicide and also offers him a well paid job as a servant for a hunting party in the Rocky Mountains. Mason accepts the job and flies with them to a hut in the wilderness where they prepare everything for the four rich businessmen who want to hunt something special. Mason does not yet know that he is the victim of their sports that should lead to the basic instincts of man, but they did not count with his cleverness... Starring Ice-T ("Tank Girl," TV's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"), Rutger Hauer ("Blade Runner," "Batman Begins"), and Academy Award-nominee Gary Busey ("Lethal Weapon," "Point Break").
Casualties of War
Hyllet som et mesterverk av kritikerne. De Kalte Oss Helter er basert på den sanne historien om en tropp som havner midt i et etisk dilemma under Vietnamkrigen. Menig Eriksson (Michael J. Fox, TV's, Spin City) må alene ta et standpunkt mot sine medsoldater og øverste befalshavende, sersjant Meserve (Sean Penn, Dead Man Walking), en mektig og karismatisk mann som tyr til grusomme tiltak etter å ha opplevd stridens terror og brutalitet. Med dramatisk musikk, action og rå kraft forteller den mesterlige filmmakeren Brian DePalma (The Untouchables) en rystende og uforglemmelig historie om en manns søken etter fornuft og rettferdighet midt i krigens kaos.
