About Schmidt (DVD)
In Alexander Payne`s ABOUT SCHMIDT, Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson) is retiring from a long, dedicated tenure at Woodmen of the World Insurance Company. Though he is proud of this achievement, he finds some difficulty adjusting to life without work. To make matters worse, his loving wife Helen (June Squibb) passes away, leaving him all alone. He turns to his daughter, Jeannie (Hope Davis), for support, but she is busy planning her marriage to Randall (Dermot Mulroney), who Warren just can`t stand. He decides to sponsor a Tanzanian child, Ndugu, through a program advertised on television, and sends elaborate letters to the 6-year-old boy along with his $22 monthly checks. Meanwhile, he sets off on a soul-searching voyage across the west in his new RV.
Nicholson`s deadpan voice-over narration, especially in his letters to Ndugu, give ABOUT SCHMIDT a solid balance between comedy and drama. The crux of the film is the daughter`s wedding in Denver, where Warren is the guest of Randall`s outrageous, new-agey mom (Kathy Bates). Though the funny moments make light of Warren`s state in life, the overall feel of the film is a bit sad, and its enigmatic ending will keep viewers guessing what will happen to this uniquely knowable character.R"

Steal This Movie (DVD)
Abbie Hoffman (Vincent D`Onofrio), the dynamic, energetic political activist who, in the 60s, protested the war in Vietnam and the capitalist philosophies of companies that produced Napalm--most memorably by burning piles of $1 bills outside the New York Stock Exchange--comes into focus in STEAL THIS MOVIE. Outspoken on issues ranging from environmentalism to CIA recruitment on college campuses, Hoffman inspired his generation and taught them how to organize politically. A detailed look at one of American counterculture`s most fascinating personalities, STEAL THIS MOVIE is one film not to miss.R"
Director: Robert Greenwald
ACTORS: Vincent D`Onofrio, Janeane Garofalo, Kevin Pollack, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kevin Corrigan
