129 minutes Director: Sidney Lumet Producer: David Brown, Richard D. Zanuck Cinematography: Andrzej Bartkowiak Screenwriter David Mamet’s second offering of a script is so raw and powerful you’ll be left feeling affected by this film.

80 minutes Dir: Ralph Bakshi Producer: Ralph Bakshi Cinematography: Ted C. Bemiller I’ve stumbled upon antiquated animators living in the farthest flung inhabitations known to mother earth, scrambling and eeking out some living. In short, animation isn’t for those slight of ...
