No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005)
Biography | Documentary | History | Music | Romance
Portrait of an artist as a young man. Roughly chronological, using archival footage intercut with recent interviews, a story takes shape of Bob Dylan's (b. 1941) coming of age from 1961 to 1966 as a singer, songwriter, performer, and star. He takes from others: singing styles, chord changes, and rare records. He keeps moving: on stage, around New York City and on tour, from Suze Rotolo to Joan Baez and on, from songs of topical witness to songs of raucous independence, from folk to rock. He drops the past. He refuses, usually with humor and charm, to be simplified, classified, categorized, or finalized: always becoming, we see a shapeshifter on a journey with no direction home.
Starring: Bob Dylan, B.J. Rolfzen, Dick Kangas, Liam Clancy, Tony Glover, Paul Nelson, Allen Ginsberg

Action | Drama | History | Thriller
At the dawn of the Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate all power and keep his bloodline on the throne, the Emperor established a secure system of defence for himself by taking young orphans off the street and training them to the highest martial arts standards to become his secret guards. Called Jinyiwei (the Brocade Guards), these warriors operated under their own code of law, led by the most skilled of their number, Qinglong. Bestowed upon him as leader is a box containing 14 steel blades, eight of which are to be used for interrogation and the remaining six for execution. When the Imperial Court is usurped by the evil eunuch Jia, Qinglong is assigned to steal a list identifying those still loyal to the Emperor. But unknown to him, the Jinyiwei themselves have fallen under the control of Jia, who, in league with an exiled noble, Prince Qing, is plotting to rebel against the Emperor and seize power.

9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out (2012)
Crime | Documentary | History | Mystery
World Trade Center Building 7 was the third skyscraper to collapse completely, rapidly and symmetrically on 9/11. In 2008, a high school physics teacher provided evidence to overturn the government's story on the collapse of WTC7 by demonstrating a period of free fall acceleration. International teams of independent scientists, including the U.S.G.S., have all confirmed the existence of military-grade high-temperature incendiaries in all post-9/11 WTC dust samples. From the point of view of highly – credible professionals (including National Award of Science recipient Dr. Lynn Margulis), as well as a truly compelling look at the reasons why people have difficulty with this evidence from psychologists, explaining all of the available technical evidence in startling clarity and detail.
