Film7.5DramTarihAmerikan tarihinin en önemli insan hakları savunucularından ve siyahi liderlerinden biri olan Malcolm X’in hayatı, Spike Lee’nin yaratıcı bakış açısı ile beyazperdeye aktarılıyor. Daha önce Broadway’de tarihi lideri canlandırmış olan Denzel Washington’un dikkate değer oyunculuğu ile Malcolm X’in hikayesi sıradan bir biyografi olmaktan çok, bir insanın hayatında devrim yapıp kendini gerçekleştirmesi şeklinde, dönemlere bölünerek anlatılmış:Babası Ku Klux Klan tarafından öldürülen Malcolm, çağdaşı bir çok zenci gibi umutsuz ve zor bir çocukluk geçirir. Neticesinde hayatı günlük yaşayan hedonist bir hırsıza dönüşür. Sonunda hapise girdiğinde İslam öğretisi kendisini yeniden tanımlamasına yardımcı olur. Burada dahil olduğu toplulukta kendini bulur ve yükselmeye başlar. Hapisten çıkınca Malcolm, adeta bir mesih işlevi yüklenir ve kendilerini birer suçlu yapan toplumsal adaletsizliğe başkaldırır.

Film7.0BelgeselFor the first 50 years of film history, the newsreel was a fixture in American movie theaters. From 1911 to 1967, these shorts proved an influential source of information – and misinformation – for generations of American moviegoers. Television news and public affairs programs became a great improvement over the scanty information offered by the newsreels. This documentary offers insight into a medium which has disappeared.

Dizi7.1KomediGarry Shandling stars as himself, a neurotic, sardonic stand-up comedian who just happens to be aware he is a sitcom character. Garry spends just as much time interacting with the studio audience as he does the regular cast members, performing monologues and show-closing summations of the episode's events. However, everyone knows they're on TV, not just Garry; and the audience (itself a character) is often involved in the storyline.
