Taxi To The Darkside Winner of the Oscar for documentary feature, TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE is a gripping investigation into the reckless abuse of power by the Bush Administration. A documentary murder mystery that examines the death of an Afghan taxi driver at Bagram Air Base, the film exposes a worldwide policy of detention and interrogation that condones torture and the abrogation of human rights. This disturbing and often brutal film is the most incisive examination to date of the Bush Administration's willingness, in its prosecution of the "war on terror", to undermine the essence of the rule of law. The film asks and answers a key question: what happens when a few men use the wartime powers of the executive to undermine the very principles on which the United States was founded? www.taxitothedarkside.co.uk Buy Now! |

Grizzly Man
For 13 summers amateur grizzly bear expert, Timothy Treadwell, lived in an area of Katami National Park, so heavily populated with Grizzly Bears that it has become known as The Grizzly Maze. In October 2003, Treadwells remains, along with those of his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, were discovered near their campsite in the Alaskan Reserve. They had been mauled and devoured by a grizzly bear. While he paid the perhaps inevitable price for his work, the 100 hours of footage Treadwell shot over this period is among the most incredible, stunning and moving ever committed to film. It is from this footage that Herzog sculpted Grizzly Man, a film that uncovers as much about human nature as it does the bears Treadwell set out to study.

What the Bleep Do We Know!?
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesnt even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isnt reality at all! The film employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain. Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the films message in an exciting, powerful way. Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this film unique in the history of cinema, and a true box-office winner. www.thebleep.co.uk Out Now on Region 2 UK DVD only!
