"It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely." - Al Gore.
Former Vice President Al Gore presents this important documentary on the planet-wide crisis of global warming. In a riveting multi-media lecture, he presents a wide array of facts and information that reveal the truth about climate change: if this issue is not addressed, all life on the planet will be devastated. Gore became interested in this startling issue while at college 30 years ago, and in the past few years, since retiring from politics, he has traveled the globe staging free events for small, invited audiences on this issue. He works exhaustively to disabuse doubters of the notion that climate change is debatable. His proof is the indisputable correlation between CO2 emissions and exponentially rising temperatures, an epidemic which is already responsible for ice-cap melting, drought, and rising sea levels. This is not a political issue, rather one of global stability, and Gore's goal is to lay out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions. With humor and searing intelligence, he outlines crucial steps we must take to avert impending disaster and proves that inaction is no longer an option in fact, it's downright immoral.

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon ('Tom Hanks') receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci - clues visible for all to see, and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion - an actual secret society. In a breathless race through Paris, London and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic organization believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever.

Filmmaker Terry Zwigoff and comic artist and screenwriter Daniel Clowes, who collaborated for the acclaimed 2001 comedy-drama Ghost World, team up once again for this offbeat satire. Jerome (Max Minghella) is an aspiring artist who arrives at a prestigious East Coast art institute to study. While Jerome enjoys daydreams of becoming the best-respected painter on Earth and winning the hearts of his female classmates, he soon learns the sad truth -- his "cool artist" act is old hat in the big city, and as he's surrounded by every art school cliché on Earth, practically nothing about him stands out. Determined to be recognized whatever the consequences, Jerome maps out a bizarre plan to become famous that has some unexpected consequences. Loosely adapted from a story in Clowes' comic book Eightball, Art School Confidential also stars John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Anjelica Huston, and Sophia Myles.
