Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return to save the world all over again in this eagerly awaited blockbusting sequel!
A darkly comic ride, this intense and original 1991 offering from the Coen brothers (Fargo, Blood Simple) gleefully attacks the Hollywood system and those who seek to sell out to it, portraying the writer's suffering as a loony vision of hell. John Turturro (Miller's Crossing, Jungle Fever) plays the title character, a pretentious left-wing writer from New York City who is brought to 1930s Hollywood to write a script for a wrestling movie for palooka actor Wallace Beery. Fink thinks the job is beneath him, but his desire for acceptance gets the better of him, and he suddenly finds himself holed up in a fleabag hotel in Los Angeles, where he is almost immediately afflicted with writer's block. Various distractions begin to enter his life, first in the form of a famous southern writer (John Mahoney) whom Fink idolises, and then his neighbour in the hotel, a seemingly amiable salesman played by John Goodman (Sea of Love, Raising Arizona). The writer turns out to be a self-loathing drunk whose secretary (Judy Davis) is the one actually doing the writing. And the neighbour, the working-class hero who Fink made his reputation writing about, may have a horrifying secret of his own. Equal parts social commentary and hilarious farce, and winner of the Best Picture, Actor, and Director prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, Barton Fink is a visionary and original comic masterpiece not to be missed. --Robert Lane

Throughout the course of civilisation incidents of mass suicide have shaken humanity to the core. Yet history records very different social attitudes toward these extreme events. From the martyrdom of the Jews at Masada to the debauchery and carnage perpetuated by Jim Jones in Guyana, are these the acts of the morally righteous or the morally depraved? In the end, what made them do it?Science Fraud: E=MC$The cold fusion debacle and the purported discovery of the Piltdown man stand as two of the greatest shams perpetrated over the course of scientific history.
