Quest for Freedom is a documentary in the Learning category, designed as a conversation between filmmaker Howard Burton and intellectual historian Quentin Skinner. The conversations explore how Skinner understands the importance of the distinction between the modern view of freedom and the so-called neo-Roman view, as well as what it means for our current and future political understanding.
Life of Chuck really gives the viewer something to think about. What is the most dramatic thing a person can experience? Tom Hiddleston gives a fine performance in the film, and here you also meet Mark Hamill (Star Wars) in the role of his grandfather. Director Mike Flanagan uses some unusual techniques to bring out several good cinematic points.
This is the true story of Dave who, after lending money to local forces, decides to start his own bank. But you can't do that, can you? The resistance is at least noticeable, just like the feel-good vibe that the main character radiates. Enjoy the comedy Bank of Dave!
My Name is Lenny is a British drama about 'The Guv’nor,' a quick-talking and violent man who tries to win back his ex. In the process, he gets involved in trouble at a local bar, and soon he is accused of a murder he did not commit.
She can really sew, but when she literally attaches the thread in the wrong place, it goes very badly. After stealing a suitcase full of drug money, she gets caught in a cat-and-mouse game that is hard to escape. Sew Torn is a comedic thriller from 2024, starring Eva Connolly (Vikings) in the role of the seamstress.
Richard Chamberlain (known from The Thorn Birds) plays the vengeful count in this 1975 edition of the classic story of The Count of Monte Cristo. The story is an adaptation of the serial that was first published in 1844, written by Alexandre Dumas.
