El Dorado -- Robert Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles the dark side of the wild West, ruthless cattle barons and crooked 'businessmen.' The Duke gives an equally adept performance as the sheriff's old friend who knows his way around a gunfight.

Cheyenne Autumn -- John Ford's last Western masterpiece chronicles the struggle by Cheyenne Indians to migrate homeward across the Great Plains in 1878.

The Last Hurrah is a comedy filmed in a single continuous shot. Set at a graduation party in Los Angeles, an eclectic group of brainy philosophy students, train-hopping hippies, aspiring prophets and drug-addled hipsters come together for one wild night. At the eye of the storm are three best friends, all with the same problem - women. Jason can't get enough of them, Steve can't let go of the one he's got and Will can't understand them at all. The brainy grad students will have to work through their issues fast, because tonight's house party is their last crack at the women of the philosophy department. In the spirit of Richard Linklater and Woody Allen, The Last Hurrah is a smart, witty, ensemble-driven comedy that wonders if the over examined life is really worth living.

Americans, according to Reverend Billy, lead fake lives: we gobble up the mono-culture peddled by transnational conglomerates; we buy whatever stores sell us; and, consequently, we live consumerist fictions. We become, in his words, "tourists in our own lives." Dietmar Post's "Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping" focuses on Reverend Billy (NYC performance artist Bill Talens) and his devout group of disciples as they crusade against the synthetic and corruptive aspects of today's hyper-consumerist culture. Talens tirelessly labors to organize "actions" ranging from choir-singing protests to rooftop speeches that urge people to stop shopping and to realize the threat lurking beneath the veneer of commodification. Concerned with how transnational corporations "colonize" our mental-scapes and destroy local neighborhoods, the charismatic "preacher" thrives on staging infiltrations of the Disney Store or boycotts of Starbuck's, even if it means frequent run-ins with the NYPD. In the style of Direct Cinema, filmmakers Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios expertly observe - without interruption - Reverend Billy in action and confrontation. As a result, the most rewarding aspect of "Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping" is its proficiency in accessing Talens' truly human side - his humor, self-deprecation, and intelligence - which in turn reveals what is genuinely empowering and inspiring about the man and his mission.
