<BR>
After years of perseverance and rejection letters, undiscovered playwright Christopher Post asks for a sign from the universe confirming that he’s on the right path. The signs flood in, each contradicting the next. When Christopher runs into an old college buddy who works for role model and star playwright Ward Edington, Christopher begins sneaking, stealing, hiding, conniving, teasing, fighting, and his life continues to snowball from there. Saving his marriage and career will be the hardest rewrite of his life. A romantic dramedy laced with farce and cows.<BR>

This week’s movie review-<BR>
</B><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#800000"><H2>An Inconvenient Truth<BR>
</H2></FONT><BR>
Documentary Film<BR>
Directed by Davis Guggenheim<BR>
Starring Al Gore<BR>
Rated PG<BR>
Running Time 1 hour, 34 minutes<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by Peter Travers writing for Rolling Stone Magazine<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
This stir-it-upper from director Davis Guggenheim is basically a lecture by Al Gore about global warming, including a multimedia slide show and shots of the former veep on the road, giving speeches and plugging thoughts into his Apple computer on environmental issues that have obsessed him for two decades. Dull? Not a bit. It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams. Gore keeps us riveted by being charming, literate and profoundly persuasive on a topic that's scarier than anything in a dozen Japanese horror flicks. Vote Gore on this one.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by Mick LaSalle writing for the San Francisco Chronicle<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
If things are even half as bad as Al Gore says they are, "An Inconvenient Truth" is the most important movie anyone will make this year. The film's significance as a wake-up call about global warming overshadows all its other virtues. Yes, it handles complicated material in a clear and entertaining way. Yes, it renders cinematic what might have seemed like a static lecture, and yes, Al Gore is funny and engaging in a way you've never seen him be. But beyond that, the movie brings a feeling of history: Virtually everyone who sees this movie will be galvanized to do something about global warming -- and everyone should see this movie.<BR>
<BR>
For some, the tipping point will come with the charts showing the rapid increase in global temperatures and the accompanying increases in greenhouse gases. For others, it will be the sight of polar bears struggling to find ice in the Arctic, or of shots of glaciers reduced to almost nothing in a span of only 30 or 40 years. It's a shock to see photographic evidence that the snows of Kilimanjaro have been reduced to a light dusting.<BR>
<BR>
Through these pictures, Gore shows that global warming is no longer a hypothetical. It's here already, and the evidence is everywhere, not least in the floods, hurricanes and droughts that we're seeing all over the world -- our "nature hike through the book of Revelations," as he calls it. Most ominous of all is evidence that the Antarctic ice shelf and the glaciers of Greenland are breaking up at a rate well beyond anything even scientists anticipated. If either were to melt completely -- or if each were to melt halfway -- the consequences would be dire for every coastal city, including Shanghai, New York and San Francisco. Indeed, about a fourth of Florida would disappear, though why Gore should care about that is another question entirely.<BR>
<BR>
Director Davis Guggenheim intersperses scenes of Gore giving his lecture with personal scenes, in which Gore recalls his political career, discusses his lifelong interest in environmentalism and talks about the crises that have shaped his worldview. We see Gore traveling, getting searched and patted down as he goes through airport security to deliver yet another lecture in another city. By his own estimate, he has done this global warming lecture about a thousand times.<BR>
<BR>
In "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore has the look of a man who's been through something big and awful and has come out the other side. Have you ever seen newsreel footage of the young Franklin D. Roosevelt before he contracted polio and contrasted it with the later Roosevelt of history? The young Roosevelt looks like a slick ambition machine, to whom nothing bad has ever happened. The older Roosevelt looks just as shrewd and calculating, but with a look in his eyes that suggests that now he knows why he's being shrewd and calculating. Well, Gore, who saw his life ambition turn to ashes thanks to a faulty ballot in Palm Beach County, has that look, and it's there for everyone to see in "An Inconvenient Truth."<BR>
<BR>
Winston Churchill once said that "Americans will always do the right thing, after they've exhausted every alternative." According to "An Inconvenient Truth," we're about down to exactly one alternative with regard to global warming, unless you count sticking our heads in the sand and waiting for the sand to turn to water. This movie throws down a challenge. In the next months, we'll see whether Churchill was right.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by William Arnold, movie critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
Gore-haters and global-warming naysayer’s will try to dismiss it, but it's hard to imagine how anyone -- no matter what their political or religious persuasion, or personal feelings about the former vice president -- can sit through it and not be profoundly affected.<BR>
<BR>
The film is essentially a deluxe filmed version of the "slide show" Gore has been presenting and refining since 1978, in which he concisely lays out the case that our carbon-dioxide emissions trapped in the Earth's atmosphere are systematically destroying the environment.<BR>
<BR>
The debate, Gore says, is over. The scientific community agrees the planet is heating up, we are primarily responsible, the effects are catastrophic, the effects are accelerating and there is still time to turn it around -- but not much time, maybe a decade.<BR>
<BR>
Gore calmly shows us evidence that the ice caps are melting, the ocean levels are rising, the weather is going crazy and -- if we don't act -- we're staring at a future of hurricanes, floods, droughts, insect plagues, epidemics and social, political and economic chaos.<BR>
<BR>
Part biopic, "Truth" also traces Gore's personal odyssey to total commitment on this issue, influenced by three trials: the death of his older sister to lung cancer, the near-death of his son in a traffic accident and his hairsbreadth loss of the presidency to George W. Bush.<BR>
<BR>
The film is, of course, exactly the kind of didactic, issue-oriented documentary that tends to preach to the converted, and Gore himself (who had to be persuaded to take part in the project) originally doubted that anyone would buy a ticket to hear his grim message.<BR>
<BR>
But this expertly put together lecture, with illuminating animation and special effects, is absolutely riveting. It's also strangely entertaining and so ultimately inspiring that it seems destined to be the biggest "event" documentary since "Fahrenheit 9/11."<BR>
