Man in the Shadow: Welles champs his way through role of rancher responsible far supporter's mortality. Chandler is the genuine sheriff. Cast includes Jeff Chandler, Orson Welles, Calleen Miller, and James Gleaan. (80 minutes, 1957)

Mr. Mom: Delightful enough rehash of age-old sitcom premise, in which mamma gets a job while dad gets fired, leaving him to the scary world of running a home. Cast includes Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, Martin Ponder, Ann Jillian, Christopher Lloyd, Frederick Koehler, and Taliesin Jaffe. (91 minutes, 1983)

Hanussen: Brandauer offers a gripping behavior as the title personality, a WW1 Austrian cadet who is shot in the head--and creates the talent to scan minds and predict the future. Cast includes Klaus Maria Brandauer, Erland Josephson, Walter Schmidinger, and Karoly Epetjes. (115 minutes, 1988)

They Still Call Me Bruce: In-name-only continuation to They Call Me Bruce has a minimum of one thing in ordinary with its predecessor: it's terrible. This time Yune plays a Korean looking for the American GI who spared him years ago, ending up as an alternative as a large-sibling compute for orphan Mendenhall. Cast includes Johnny Yune, David Mendenhall, Pat Paulsen, Joey Travolta, Robert Guillaume, Bethany Wright, and Carl Bensen. (91 minutes, 1987)

Good Night And Good Luck: Lucid dramatization of newscaster Edward R. Murrow's groundbreaking on-the-air altercation with Commie-seeking Senator Joseph R. McCarthy in the 1950s. Knowledgeable production layout by Jim Bissell, cinematography Robert Elswit, and revising Stephen Mirrione combine with pitch-exact behaviors to make us feel like a soar on the fence as CBS TV reporters discuss, talk, carouse, and set history-making TV designs on the air. Strathaim is brilliant as Murrow; McCarthy "plays" himself in vintage kinescope footage. Cast includes David Strathaim, Patricia Clarkson, George Clooney, Jeff Daniels, Robert Downey, Jr., Tate Donovan, and Alex Borstein. (93 minutes, 2005)

Austin Powers In Goldmember: Austin is back, and this time he faces not only Dr. Evil, but also a new threat in Goldmember. Dr. Evil is traveling through, and Austin is on the chase. He must save his father Nigel from being captured by Dr. Evil.

After Life: This is a beautifully informed story of caseworkers at a train station between the galaxies who help the lately departed pick a lone minute from their pasts to live inside for the remainder of forever. This is a calm, poetic assessment of life, mortality, and memory, filled with soft humor and blessedly free of some feel-excellent bromides.

Big Top Pee-wee: Farmer Pee-wee permits a voyaging carnival to stay on his asset, and swiftly creates carnival fever-in addition to a romance with the pretty trapeze performer - Golino.

Cast includes Pee-wee Herman, Penelope Ann Miller, Kris Kristofferson, and Valeria Golino. (78 minutes, 1988)

Ivan the Horrible: Film spectacle of the highest request. Eisenstein's remarkably lavish but detailed journal of King Ivan IV's life from coronation to conquer to reinstatement. A forging captivating icon of the gentleman and his nation can be found here. Improved by Prokofiev's primordial score so be it. Bulky going, although beneficial; the tale proceeds in Ivan the Awful. Cast includes Sergei Eisenstein, Nikolai Cherkassov, Ludmila Tselikovskaya, and Serafima Birman. (99 minutes, 1943)
