Key is a cold, emotionless, but fragile girl on her way to Tokyo. Only she knows that she is, in fact, an android, created by Murao Mima, who told no one else of his creation and died before anyone could ever even imagine the things he had discovered. But, before he died, Murao told his beloved Key that if she was able to gain 30,000 friends, then she would become human. This is Key`s only wish, to feel all the agony and joy that humans feel, and so she`s off to the big city to try and come up with a plan to help attain her goal.

In THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, an imaginative fantasy from the creators of DELICATESSEN, a prematurely aging mad scientist named Krank (Daniel Emilfork) kidnaps children so he can steal their dreams. However, Krank runs into trouble when his henchmen grab Denrie (Joseph Lucien), a little boy whose adopted brother, One (Ron Perelman), is a circus strongman. One desperately tries to find Denrie and begs for help from Miette (Judith Vittet), a 9-year-old girl who heads up a gang of orphans. Together, One and Miette finally find Krank`s castle, meeting along the way the lost identical brother--the original--of the three clones (each played by Dominique Pinon) who serve as Krank`s assistants.
French directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet once again prove their technical prowess with this dark fairy tale, which features outstanding performances from its youthful cast (most notably Vittet). As is the case with DELICATESSEN, however, their genius in constructing a highly artificial, beautiful, believable world threatens to overshadow the story. But even the fantastic sets cannot compare to the bizarre spectacles that Jeunet and Caro dream up. In one unforgettable scene, a pair of evil Siamese twin sisters prepare dinner, their four arms working perfectly in sync--one holding vegetables for another to chop while a third stirs the soup and a fourth scratches their collective itches. Frequent David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti creates the chilling, circusy musical score that adds to the film`s magic.

The Kinks - One for the Road (DVD)
It is nearly impossible to overestimate the influence of British band The Kinks on modern rock. Brothers Ray and Dave Davies and their bandmates formed in 1964 London, and soon cultivated an inventive, post-Beatles pop sound that helped defined England`s Mod youth culture movement and was a major part of the so-called British Invasion. Over the following decades of constant music production, the band continued to innovate and alter their sound. ONE FOR THE ROAD is a fantastic musical record of the Kinks` musical influence and growth. The video presents songs from across their long career, and includes classics like Lola and Victoria, as well as some great live versions of other tunes.NR"
