Jim Jarmusch's 1991 ensemble comedy Night on Earth turns a gimmick into a revelation. The story begins in Los Angeles one evening at 7:07 pm A talent agent (Gena Rowlands) gets into the back of a taxi driven by a sullen, chain-smoking young woman (Winona Ryder), and over the course of their bumpy conversation, Rowlands' character becomes convinced that the cabby would be perfect for a particular part in a movie. Meanwhile, at that very moment, taxi drivers in New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki are all having unique encounters with a variety of fares, breaking through that invisible social barrier between the front and back seats of their cars, often to absurd or touching effect. Among them are cabby Roberto Benigni's ranting confessions to a priest, Armin Mueller-Stahl's relinquishing of the wheel to a stunned Giancarlo Esposito and Isaach De Bankolé's relentless discussion of sight and sex with an angry blind woman (Beatrice Dalle). What emerges is a chain of brief intimacies (not always welcomed by the characters), like a number of matches lit simultaneously across the globe, flickering brightly for a few short moments. This popular work by Jarmusch helped confirm his reputation as a fiercely independent filmmaker of rare perception, rigour and classical sensibility matched with original thinking. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Spirit - Stallion Of The Cimarron (Dir. Kelly Asbury / Lorna Cook 2002): A refreshingly old-fashioned and gentle tale of a mustang stallion struggling to remain free in the old West. The film is a seamless blend of traditional hand-drawn and computer-generated animation. Opening with an impressive bird's eye pan of the Grand Canyon from the viewpoint of an eagle SPIRIT captures the unspoiled beauty of the land. The animals in this particular animated film do not talk and Matt Damon provides effective sparse narration from the perspective of Spirit an adventurous young stallion who is captured by the U.S. Army. But Spirit will not let the soldiers saddle and ride him. An authoritarian colonel (voiced by James Cromwell) is determined to break Spirit at one point starving the horse to weaken him. A Lakota prisoner Little Creek (voiced by Daniel Studi) is impressed with the horse and helps him to escape. Little Creek can't break the horse either.

The Crime Was Only The Beginning...

He reports every day to his blue-collar job as an armored truck driver.

Told with equal parts eloquence and passion the story follows 20-year-old Daniel Carter (Mark Webber Shrink and the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) a petty thief performing community service at a Greenwich Village elementary school. There he befriends eight-year-old Boone (the adorable Antonio 'A.J.' Ortiz). When Boone's mother is taken ill and the youth is sent away to a foster school Daniel 'rescues' him and together they set out on a road trip - funded partly by shoplifting and burglary - in which friendship redemption and adventure are all within one''s grasp. Co-starring the dynamic Rosie Perez (Fearless Pineapple Express) as the school principal Just Like the Son's story of two outcasts searching for identity resonates with heart warmth humour and hope as its touching tale of fraternity and sacrifice unfolds in poetic and unsentimental fashion. If you liked Wendy and Lucy or Half Nelson you will love this wondrous gem.
