In 1994, scientist Victor DeNoble became the first whistleblower to reveal the tobacco industry's efforts to manufacture "a maximally addictive" product. Tasked in the 1980s by a major tobacco company to invent a safer form of nicotine—one that would decrease the danger of heart failure while remaining just as addictive (so smokers could live, and smoke, longer)—DeNoble succeeded. But, in doing so, he inadvertently created something the tobacco companies had been avoiding for years—indisputable scientific evidence that nicotine was addictive. Their reaction was swift: his position was terminated, his lab was closed, and both his research and the "safer cigarette" were buried in the vaults and kept from the public...until he broke his confidentiality agreement and became the ultimate whistleblower.

Rated R
109 Minutes

The cities of Zurich and Vienna on the eve of World War I are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, A Dangerous Method takes a glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender of Shame and Jane Eyre), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen, A History of Violence) and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley, Atonement), the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel, Black Swan), a free-thinker who encourages Jung to cross therapist-patient boundaries. This exploration of sensuality, ambition and deceit sets the scene for the pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come together and split apart, forever changing the face of modern thought. Screenplay by Christopher Hampton(Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons), based on his play The Talking Cure.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 : Carnage

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:52:06 -0500

2011
France
Rated R
80 minutes

The bitterly amusing story of two families who become locked in a showdown after their children are involved in a playground squabble, Carnage shines a spotlight on the risible contradictions and grotesque prejudices of four well-heeled American parents. Shot in real time as the four adults meet to settle the dispute, Carnage pits power couple Nancy (Kate Winslet) and cell phone-addicted Alan (Christoph Waltz) against the liberal writer and campaigner Penelope (Jodie Foster) and her wholesaler husband, Michael (John C. Reilly). Unpredictable and shocking, the film hilariously exposes the hypocrisy lurking behind their polite façade. Briskly-paced, Carnage is a real acting tour-de-force—reminiscent of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but lighter in tone.

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:58:09 -0500

PG-13
105 minutes

The Iron Lady revisits recent history through the eyes of the leader who shaped it—charting the compelling rise and fall of trail-blazing politician Margaret Thatcher, the controversial former Prime Minister of the UK and the first woman ever elected as head of government in the West. Best Actress nominee Meryl Streep brings Margaret Thatcher to vivid life over a 40-year span, delivering a performance of great authenticity and sensitivity. Combining fact, fiction and poetic flights of imagination into a new breed of biopic, director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) creates a piercing portrait which reveals the many faces of Thatcher: the hard-nosed conservative; the woman who demolished the barriers of gender and class in a male-dominated world; the spirited wife and mother who longed to change her country for the better.
