Battle in Seattle

Genre: Action/Drama
Release Date: Szeptember 2008 (USA)
Director: Stuart Townsend
Cast: Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Channing Tatum, Connie Nielsen, Joshua Jackson, Martin Henderson, Michelle Rodriguez, André Benjamin

In 1999, a meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle turned ugly when thousands of protesters showed up in order to make their voices heard. The situation eventually escalated to full scale riots and a state of emergency. Stuart Townsend’s movie Battle in Seattle is an attempt to retell these events in a docudrama style. In my head I’m thinking this could make an amazing film with someone like Paul Greengrass or Michael Winterbottom behind it, but Townsend is a bit of an unknown quantity, being that this is his directorial debut.

Chicago 10

Genre: Animation/Documentary/Music
ImdB Rating: 7.4/10
Director: Brett Morgen
Cast: Abbie Hoffman, Bobby Seale, David Dellinger, David Boat, Dylan Baker, Debra Eisenstadt, Hank Azaria, Jerry Rubin, James Urbaniak, Jeffrey Wright, Nick Nolte

At the 1968 Democratic Convention, protestors, denied permits for demonstrations, repeatedly clashed with the Chicago Police Department, who waged a week-long terror campaign that resulted in riots witnessed live by a television audience of over 50 million. The events had a polarizing effect on the country.
Needing to find a scapegoat for the riots, the Government held eight of the most vocal activists accountable for the violence and brought them to trial a year later. The defendants represented a broad cross-section of the anti-war movement, from counter-culture icons Abbie Hoffman (voiced by Hank Azaria) and Jerry Rubin (Mark Ruffalo) to renowned pacifist David Dellinger (Dylan Baker). Seven of the defendants were represented by Leonard Weinglass and famed liberal attorney William Kunstler (Liev Schreiber), who went head-to-head with prosecution attorney Thomas Foran (Nick Nolte). The eighth defendant, Bobby Seale (Jeffrey Wright), co-chair of the Black Panther Party, insisted on defending himself and was bound, gagged and handcuffed to his chair by Judge Julius Hoffman (Roy Scheider). From the start, the trial was a circus with the eight defendants on a collision course with the governmental authority.

The Signal

Genre: Horror
ImdB Rating: 7.1/10
Directors: David Bruckner, Dan Bush, Jacob Gentry
Cast: AJ Bowen, Cheri Christian, Anessa Ramsey, Justin Welborn, Scott Poythress

Imagine every cell phone, radio, and television in your city suddenly broadcasting the same mysterious signal over and over. Now imagine these "terminus" transmissions evoking violent, uncontrollable, psychotic chaos from everyone who comes in contact with them. "The Signal" invades the minds of everyday citizens living their workaday lives and having their sordid affairs. Suddenly struck by the power of the insidious transmissions, they are compelled to kill or be killed. Complicating matters is a zombielike resistance some characters have to the idea of remaining dead. The story violently explodes, blending bloody gore with psychological satire, for a truly original horror experience. The Atlanta filmmaking team of David Bruckner, Dan Bush, and Jacob Gentry tell the eerie tale in three parts (cleverly called "transmissions"), shifting perspectives to draw out a larger story that explores dark secrets and fears as well as jealousy and betrayal.
