The Great Debaters
|
Denzel Washington
Jurnee Smollett
|
|
The true story of Melvin Tolson (Denzel Washington) and the debate team he started at the historically black Wiley College in 1935. Tolson guides an all-black debate team made up of a rebellious and experienced academic, the precocious teenage son of Wiley College's President, and a lone ambitious female member. We follow the students on a string of debating victories throughout the South, leading up to a debate against Harvard College. On the way, the debate team becomes one of the first black debate teams to face and beat a white institution while learning valuable lessons about discrimination and inequality in the South.

As Christmas approaches, Ronna (Sarah Polley), a grocery store cashier, is in desperate need of extra money in order to cover her rent for the month. When fellow employee Simon (Desmond Askew) dashes off for a quick vacation in Las Vegas, he gives her his shift. Meanwhile, actors Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) who have recently been busted for drug possession, make a deal which involves them participating in a sting operation. They visit the grocery store looking for Simon, who is known to sell ecstasy, but as he is away, they ask Ronna if she can obtain the drugs for them instead. She agrees, but has no idea of the events waiting to unfold over the course of the evening -- events which may result in her own death.

And, a pedophile has recently been released from prison in the area. Patrick and Angie must wade through mountains of misinformation to find the missing child. Will they be in time? And, will their personal relationship survive the tough choices they will have to make?

Grizzly Man
|
|
Werner Herzog
Franc G. Fallico
|
|
This documentary uses footage shot by Timothy Treadwell to tell the story of his encounters with grizzly bears during summers in the Katmai National Park in Alaska. Interviews with Treadwell's family and friends, as well as park rangers and local politicians, are also included to flesh out a story of an eccentric wildlife enthusiast whose motives and actions were often criticized as misguided, if not dangerous. The film focuses on the tension that is created between, on the one hand, Treadwell's passionate love of the wild bears and commitment to environmentalist concerns, and on the other, the need for non-involvement with wild animals and the protection of public safety.
