VIP Kino — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:05:10 +0000

The Marks family is a tightly-knit quartet of women. Jane is the affluent matriarch whose 3 daughters seem to have nothing in common except for a peculiar sort of idealism. Setting the tone of vanity and insecurity, Jane is undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter her figure, but serious complications put her health in real danger. Former homecoming queen Michelle, the eldest daughter, has one daughter of her own and an alienated, unsupportive husband. Elizabeth, the middle sister, has an acting career that is beginning to take off, but is timid and insecure, and habitually relieves her trepidation by taking in stray dogs. Only the youngest sister, Annie, an adopted African American 8-year-old, stands a chance of avoiding the family legacy of anxious self-absorption. If only her intelligence and curiosity will see her through what promises to be a confusing adolescence. Each of the women seeks redemption in her own haphazard way.

Amy's Orgasm

VIP Kino — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:31:26 +0000

Amy is Jewish, nearing 30, single, and the successful author of "Why Love Doesn't Work," a self-help book for women who aren't in love. She's also a self-described sexorexic - she hasn't had sex with a man in four years and has never had a "mental orgasm." She gets plenty of advice - from her publicist, from her best friends (a married couple), from her parents, and from a priest to whom she goes to confession - so there's lots of conflicting emotion and analysis when she starts dating Matthew Starr, a good-looking playboy who's a popular L.A. male-chauvinist-pig radio shock jock. Each of Amy's theories and rules is put to the test - people may not change, but can love work?

Mockingbird Don't Sing

VIP Kino — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:50:14 +0000

On November 4, 1970 on The CBS Evening News, Walter Cronkite reported on a true, horrific story that was about to rock the country. A 13-year-old girl was discovered in the small Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia who was still in diapers, barely able to walk and unable to speak. Kept in severe isolation by her parents with virtually no human contact for more than 10 years, she was confined to her bedroom, tied to her potty-chair and left to fend for herself. As Cronkite noted, it was one of the most horrendous cases of child abuse ever to surface. Much like an animal, the girl spat, sniffed and clawed. She had none of the traits or characteristics of conventional human behavior, nor could she comprehend such modern societal conveniences as silverware or bathroom etiquette. Her emotional development was practically non-existent, and she could not speak. With this heartbreaking story, the world was being introduced to a fragile, beautiful teenager who seemed and behaved like an infant, or Wild Child.

Over the course of a few heady years, riding on polyurethane wheels and copying the surfing moves of Larry Bertleman, the Z-Boys invent and polish their style on a hilly street near the shop, on the asphalt slopes ringing school playgrounds, and then in swimming pools empty during California's drought. The Z-Boys astound upright skateboarders at the 1975 championship in Del Mar. Within a year, the team splinters as some players join better financed pro teams. The film ends with profiles of the stars, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, and Tony Alva.

Something's not right at General Teague's military school alma mater in Georgia. Racist philosophy has spread through the school, and has damaged the General's relationship with his nephew, Cadet Ted Teague. To ferret out white supremacy at the Military Academy he helps fund, the General calls upon former comrade Karl Thomasson. In his undercover role as an American History professor, Karl butts heads with a student named Buckner, who questions the veracity of historical accounts of the Holocaust. Buckner is displaying the neo-Nazi views of academy commandant Brack. Fortunately, General Teague has planted another spy, Luther, on campus, and Luther is posing as a groundskeeper. Karl can also rely on his old friend, Coach Devlin, to support his investigation. And Karl foolishly puts his trust in school nurse Jenny, who turns out to be Brack's girlfriend. Karl discovers that Brack's operation stretches beyond campus bigotry — he has brainwashed a group of students into becoming an elite force known as the Werewolves. Attempts to connect the Werewolves to off-campus terrorism prove fruitless, even after a student saboteur dies in an explosion. Brack has the General killed and prepares to eliminate traitors to the cause, and Ted finally begins to question his place in Brack's crusade. Ted decides to help Karl, Devlin, and Luther bring Brack down.
