Cronenberg`s first foray into mainstream filmmaking is also one of his most satisfying pictures. Adapted from a Stephen King novel, it stars Walken as Johnny, a man who has been in a coma for five years and wakes up to realize that he can tell a person`s fate just by touching them. Realizing that he can change the future as well, Johnny soon gets intervenes in a number of would-be tragedies. Consequently, he soon becomes famous for his gift, but he longs for his former life, when he still had his job, his fiancee, and a normal life. However, when he shakes hands with a future president of the US (Sheen, in a wonderfully hammy performance) who could end up being the biggest mass murderer since Hitler, Johnny wrestles with what seems to be his destiny. Walken`s bravura performance forms the soul of this excellent and touching thriller.

GWAR - Phallus in Wonderland (DVD)
A long form video from the alien warriors of Richmond, Virginia who try to offend everyone. The narrative -- in which the institutions of America come together to censor GWAR -- basically serves as an assault of modern capitalist culture and its values. The movie contains several of their gross-out songs, all of which are from the album America Must Be Destroyed. The strangest tongue-in-cheek political satire you`ll ever see.NR"
