:plot: FBI trainee Clarice Starling works hard to advance her career, including
trying to hide or put behind her West Virginia roots, of which if some knew would
automatically classify her as being backward or white trash. After graduation,
she aspires to work in the agency's Behavioral Science Unit under the leadership
of Jack Crawford. While she is still a trainee, Crawford does ask her to question
Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a psychiatrist imprisoned thus far for eight years in maximum
security isolation for being a serial killer, he who cannibalized his victims.
Clarice is able to figure out the assignment is to pick Lecter's brains to help
them solve another serial murder case, that of someone coined by the media as
Buffalo Bill who has so far killed five victims, all located in the eastern US,
all young women who are slightly overweight especially around the hips, all who
were drowned in natural bodies of water, and all who were stripped of large swaths
of skin. She also figures that Crawford chose her as a woman to be able to trigger
some emotional response from Lecter. After speaking to Lecter for the first time,
she realizes that everything with him will be a psychological game with her having
often to read between the very cryptic lines he provides. She has to decide how
much she will play along as his request in return for talking to him is to expose
herself emotionally to him. The case takes more dire turns when a sixth victim
is discovered, this one from who they are able to retrieve a key piece of evidence
if Lecter is being forthright as to its meaning. A potential seventh victim is
high profile Catherine Martin, the daughter of Senator Ruth Martin, which places
greater scrutiny on the case as they search for a hopefully still alive Catherine.
Who may factor into what happens is Dr. Frederick Chilton, the warden at the prison,
he an opportunist who sees the higher profile with Catherine, meaning a higher
profile for himself if he can insert himself successfully into the proceedings.

:plot: 'After his death sometime in his forty-third year, suburbanite Lester Burnham
tells of the last few weeks of his life, during which he had no idea of his imminent
passing. He is a husband to real estate agent Carolyn Burnham and father to high
school student Janie Burnham. Although Lester and Carolyn once loved each other,
they now merely tolerate each other. Typical wallflower Janie too hates both her
parents, the three who suffer individually in silence in their home life. Janie
tries to steer clear of both her parents. Carolyn, relatively new to the real
estate business, wants to create the persona of success to further her career,
she aspiring to the professional life of Buddy Kane, the king of the real estate
business in their neighborhood. Lester merely walks mindlessly through life, including
at his job in advertising. His company is downsizing, and he, like all the other
employees, has to justify his position to the newly hired efficiency expert to
keep his job. Things change for Lester when he falls in love at first sight with
Janie''s more experienced classmate, Angela Hays. Both Janie and Angela can see
Lester''s sexual infatuation with Angela, who courts such attention from any man
as a sign that she is model material, she having once appeared in Seventeen and
it a career to which she aspires. Lester''s infatuation with Angela gives him
a reenergized view on life, where he openly doesn''t care anymore what anyone
thinks about what he does, anyone except Angela. This infatuation coincides with
the Fittses moving in next door: homophobic disciplinarian US Marine Colonel Frank
Fitts who rules the house with a military fist (that fist being both figurative
and literal), his semi-comatose wife Barbara Fitts, and their bright and quietly
subversive eighteen year old son Ricky Fitts, who openly abides by his father''s
rules while behind the scenes lives by his own quite different perspective. Much
like Lester''s infatuation, Ricky immediately becomes infatuated with Janie, he
who considers girls like Angela as ordinary. The entry of Angela and the Fittses
into the Burnhams'' lives ultimately leads to each of the players confronting
what is truly in his or her heart.'

:poster: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjExMTg5OTU0NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjMxMzMzMw@@._V1_SX300.jpg
:plot: In a distant, but not so unrealistic, future where mankind has abandoned
earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful
multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has
been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and
show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One
day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find
proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E
rescues EVE from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the
rubble. Consistent with her "directive", EVE takes the plant and automatically
enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't
understand what has happened to his new friend, but, true to his love, he protects
her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive
ship comes to reclaim EVE, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness, hitches a ride
on the outside of the ship to rescue EVE. The ship arrives back at a large space
cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years
earlier. The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs
which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their
meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that
they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily-given instructions
sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of Earth from returning
by stealing the plant, WALL-E, EVE, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots
stage a mutiny.

The film begins in 1984 when Wiesler attends a play written by Georg Dreyman,
who is considered by many to be the ultimate example of the loyal citizen. Wiesler
has a gut feeling that Dreyman can't be as ideal as he seems, and believes surveillance
is called for. The Minister of Culture agrees but only later does Wiesler learn
that the Minister sees Dreyman as a rival and lusts after his partner Christa-Maria.
The more time he spends listening in on them, the more he comes to care about
them. The once rigid Stasi officer begins to intervene in their lives, in a positive
way, protecting them whenever possible. Eventually, Wiesler's activities catch
up to him and while there is no proof of wrongdoing, he finds himself in menial
jobs - until the unbelievable happens.

who allegedly murdered the samurai and raped his wife; the white veil cloaked
wife of the samurai; and the samurai himself who testifies through the use of
a medium. The three tell a similarly structured story - that Tajômaru kidnapped
and bound the samurai so that he could rape the wife - but which ultimately contradict
each other, the motivations and the actual killing being what differ. The woodcutter
reveals at Rashômon that he knows more than he let on at the trial, thus bringing
into question his own actions. But another discovery at Rashômon and the resulting
actions from the discovery bring back into focus the woodcutter''s own humanity
or lack thereof.'

content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor
Joseph II. But he's shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and

:plot: It's Britain, 1953. Upon his return to work following a heart attack, irrepressible
barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts, known as a barrister for the hopeless, takes on
a murder case, much to the exasperation of his medical team, led by his overly
regulated private nurse, Miss Plimsoll, who tries her hardest to ensure that he
not return to his hard living ways - including excessive cigar smoking and drinking
- while he takes his medication and gets his much needed rest. That case is defending
American war veteran Leonard Vole, a poor, out of work, struggling inventor who
is accused of murdering his fifty-six year old lonely and wealthy widowed acquaintance,
Emily French. The initial evidence is circumstantial but points to Leonard as
the murderer. Despite being happily married to East German former beer hall performer
Christine Vole, he fostered that friendship with Mrs. French in the hopes that
she would finance one of his many inventions to the tune of a few hundred pounds.
It thus does not help his case when it is learned that Mrs. French changed her
will prior to her murder with Leonard being the primary beneficiary of a £80,000
estate. Leonard states that he knew nothing about the will. Christine is apparently
the only alibi Leonard has to his whereabouts at the time of the murder. The usual
methods Sir Wilfrid uses to test his clients' guilt or innocence leads to him
believing that Leonard is indeed innocent. As the trial progresses, the prosecution
calls a surprise witness, one that could place a nail in the coffin of Sir Wilfrid's
planned line of defense. As Sir Wilfrid gets deeper and deeper into the case,
something doesn't quite sit right with him, although he doesn't know what it is.
The primary questions become how far Sir Wilfrid will go to obtain evidence to
acquit Leonard, and if he will ever discover why he feels that there is something
odd about the case.

:plot: As of November 1, 1959, mild mannered C.C. Baxter has been working at Consolidated
Life, an insurance company, for close to four years, and is one of close to thirty-two
thousand employees located in their Manhattan head office. To distinguish himself
from all the other lowly cogs in the company in the hopes of moving up the corporate
ladder, he often works late, but only because he can't get into his apartment,
located off of Central Park West, since he has provided it to a handful of company
executives - Mssrs. Dobisch, Kirkeby, Vanderhoff and Eichelberger - on a rotating
basis for their extramarital liaisons in return for a good word to the personnel
director, Jeff D. Sheldrake. When Baxter is called into Sheldrake's office for
the first time, he learns that it isn't just to be promoted as he expects, but
also to add married Sheldrake to the list to who he will lend his apartment. What
Baxter is unaware of is that Sheldrake's mistress is Fran Kubelik, an elevator
girl in the building who Baxter himself fancies. In turn, Sheldrake has no idea
of Baxter's own interest in Fran. And Fran, who is in love with Sheldrake, has
no idea that she is only the latest in a long line of Sheldrake's mistresses,
that Sheldrake has no intention of leaving his wife for her, and that the apartment
belongs to Baxter, who she likes as a friend. As some of these facts come to light
on Christmas Eve, one of the three makes a unilateral decision. That decision
sets off a series of events over the course of the next week which makes each
of the three examine what he/she really wants which in turn may be incompatible
with the other two. They are helped along the way by Dobisch, Kirkeby, Vanderhoff
and Eichelberger who are now feeling neglected as Baxter no longer needs their
assistance in moving up, by Miss Olsen, Sheldrake's long serving secretary who
was also once his mistress, and by Dr. Dreyfus, a physician and one of Baxter's
many exasperated neighbors who believes Baxter is a playboy based on all the noise
he hears in Baxter's apartment and the plethora of empty liquor bottles Baxter
seems to be always discarding.
