Metropolis Metropolis, a visionary and elaborate spectacle by director Fritz
Lang is an epic projection of a futuristic city divided into a working
and an elite class. Its exhilarating climax brings the city to its
knees, as the classes clash against each other. In the
21st-Century, a de-humanized proletariat labors non-stop in a
miserable subterranean city beneath a luxurious city of mile-high
skyscrapers, flying automobiles, palatial architectural idylls, tubes
and tunnels. With stunningly inventive special effects, Lang's
allegorical narrative and architectural vision creates a highly
stylized vision of a not-so-unlikely future (especially for 1926 when
the film was made.) As the elite frolic above the clouds, thousands
of miserable workers toil night and day inside the belly of the
gigantic machine that runs the entire city. Metropolis is controlled
by a sinister authoritarian whose son, Freder, rejects his father's
callous philosophy and attitude towards laborers. Meek though they
are, the workers are encouraged by Maria, a wistful young woman
who wills her comrades to embrace patience and silent strength.
Upon discovering her influence upon the workers, a mad scientist
kidnaps Maria and creates a robot in her image that will incite the
workers to revolt. As Freder races against time to save Maria and
curtail the damage done by her doppelganger robot, Metropolis is
enveloped in chaos and the classes are brought together in a
breathtaking and highly moralistic climax.

best chance.

Released. In between, howl at her tack lounge singer Dolores Delago, the Toast

Madonna - Truth or Dare Madonna is perhaps the most postmodern of all pop stars, and this
acclaimed documentary is prime evidence of that. Madonna enlisted
Harvard graduate Alex Keshishian to follow her around with a
camera during her 1991 "Blonde Ambition" tour, and the result is
one of the most candid glimpses into a pop star's life and
personality ever produced. Concert footage, family visits, dance
practice, hotel room makeup sessions, and even a visit to the
dentist with then-boyfriend Warren Beatty are just some of the
places that Madonna lets us be involved in. This is more than just a
fun pop documentary - it is also both a celebration and critique of
the invasive, all-encompassing media culture that defines America
today.
Millennium Time travel, the fate of air disaster victims and the future of mankind

when he meets Louise (Cheryl Ladd), a woman from the future whose
do-or-die mission is to travel back in time and recover the lost "stunner". Is
she running out of time? Will Bill Smith's knowledge of the future jeopardize
the course of history? Is the future of mankind now a thing of the past?
One thing's for sure... the suspense never lets up.
