Survival -- A psychopath overlooks his victim, as she gives everything to survive. One man's game is another's Survival.

Catch-22 -- Mike Nichols superbly directed this cinematic adaptation of Joseph Heller's scathing black comedy, a tale of a small group of flyers in the Mediterranean in 1944.

Mike Nichols superbly directed this cinematic adaptation of Joseph Heller's scathing black comedy, the tale of a small group of flyers in the Mediterranean in 1944. There are winners and losers, opportunists and survivors. Separately and together, they are nervous, frightened, often profane and sometimes pathetic. Almost all are a little crazy. Catch-22 is an anti-war satire of epic proportions.

Vic is a violent, illiterate scavenger, principally interested in getting laid. He communicates telepathically with his deceptively cute-looking dog Blood; Vic finds food for Blood, while Blood sniffs out girls for Vic. One of these girls is the sexy Quilla June, who, unbeknownst to Vic is a spy for an underground society, headed by a Mr. Craddock. This subterranean civilization needs a human "sperm bank" to stay alive, and the oversexed Vic fills the bill.
