Limbo -- Three people are forced to take risks and confront their fears when they find themselves stranded in the wilderness of an Alaskan island.

Limbo -- Alaska is America's last frontier, a land rich with the promise of adventure and the possibility of redemption. This vast expanse of raw nature is both setting and antagonist in John Sayles' Limbo, the story of three people who come together to face their own demons and to learn the very nature of risk. In the rugged beauty of the southeastern Alaska wilderness, former fisherman Joe Gastineau (David Strathairn) struggles with the memory of an accident at sea that nearly took his life. Fortunately, a budding romance with a sultry singer named Donna De Angelo (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) gives him hope. But when Joe's fast-talking half-brother (Casey Siemaszko) returns to town and asks Joe for a favor, the lives of Joe, Donna and her disaffected daughter, Noelle (Vanessa Martinez), are changed forever

Warren Beatty's award winning epic mixes drama and interviews with major social radicals of the period. "Reds" tells the story of the love affair between activists Louise Bryant and John Reed. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous start of the twentieth century, the two journalists' on-again off-again romance is punctuated by the outbreak of WWI and the Bolshevik Revolution. Louise's assignment in France at the outbreak of the war puts an end to their affair. John Reed's subsequent trip to Russia, and his involvement with the Communist party, rekindles their relationship. When Louise arrives in Petrograd, she finds herself swept up in the euphoria of the Revolution. Reed, however, eventually becomes disillusioned with Communism when he sees his words and intentions augmented and controlled by the growing Soviet propaganda machine.
