Anne Heche, Catherine Keener, Liev Schreiber, Todd Field - Director: Nicole Holofcener Manhattanite yuppies Laura and Amelia are close confidantes until Laura gets engaged and their relationship with each other begins to change. While Amelia struggles through romantic misadventures, Laura starts to have doubts about her upcoming nuptials. Catherine Keener and Anne Heche star as childhood friends who have now grown up, moved to the big city, and are trying to maintain their friendship as they each deal with their ever-changing life and loves. WALKING AND TALKING, writer-director Nicole Holofcener's debut feature film, is a smart, witty, perceptive film that explores what it's like to be single in New York City in the 1990s. As Laura (Heche) gets engaged to Frank (Todd Field), Amelia (Keener) grows closer with ex-boyfriend Andrew (Liev Schreiber) while considering going out with Bill (Kevin Corrigan), a film geek who works in a video store. The strain that their individual relationships put on each other soon threatens to drive Amelia and Laura apart, as Laura prepares to get married, and Amelia must care for her sick cat.
Holofcener's keen ear for dialogue makes WALKING AND TALKING an honest, utterly believable examination of a lifelong friendship that is suddenly in trouble as the innocence of childhood can no longer make problems go away. Keener and Heche are wonderful as the best friends, with excellent support from Field, Schreiber, Corrigan, and the rest of the cast (which includes SOPRANOS star Vincent Pastore as a bizarre therapy patient and THE WEST WING's Allison Janney as a comforting neighbor). Billy Bragg's wonderful songs make up much of the soundtrack. WALKING AND TALKING screened in competition at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1996.
Filmed on location in New York City.
Spatz played Amelia's cat, Big Jeans.
The soundtrack includes songs by Joe Henry, Yo La Tengo, Liz Phair, Frente, Pal Shazar, and Billy Bragg, among others.
Producer James Shamus is also Ang Lee's writing partner; among the films he has cowritten are THE WEDDING BANQUET, EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN, THE ICE STORM, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL, and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Walking And Talking Reviews: "...A perceptive blend of humor and heartbreak..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Moments of tenderness and wit, as well as...the light touch [of an] attractive cast..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "...Uniformly droll lead performances as well as impressively confident filmmaking savvy. Buoyant style and innumerable little insights about contempo lifestyles make for an engaging crowd-pleaser..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...It's a downright refreshing experience to be presented with people you can identify with....A romantic comedy with stellar portrayals..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "...One of the gifts of WALKING AND TALKING is that it remains subtle and gentle..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This fun, critically acclaimed comedy follows the hilarious antics of four friends looking for love in the '90s! Laura, Frank, Andrew, and Amelia always have something to laugh about when it comes to matters of the heart. There are good dates, bad dates, and no dates. Wild fantasies. Long-distance phone sex. And an outrageous search for Mr. Right that turns up every oddball imaginable! In the hilarious tradition of BEAUTIFUL GIRLS and FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, WALKING AND TALKING shows that the ups and downs of modern romance aren't easy ... they've just never been funnier!

Prior to his global infamy as organizer of both Band Aid and Live Aid, Bob Geldof enjoyed a successful time with his punk-era band, The Boomtown Rats. This show is culled from a 1978 performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon, with the Rats popularity peeking--both "Rat Trap" and "I Don't Like Mondays were subsequent number 1 singles--and an expectant crowd urging the group to deliver the goods. They do so in style, delivering incendiary interpretations of "Like Clockwork," "Looking After No. ...

Thanks in part to the popularity of Scottish dance-rock act Franz Ferdinand in the early 2000s, the Fire Engines became perhaps the most name-dropped band most people had never actually heard. The band's limited recorded output was released on vinyl seven-inch, LP, and EP in the early '80s; it quickly went out of print, and became nearly impossible to track down. In 2007, Acute Records issued HUNGRY BEAT, a 16-track collection spread across the band's various releases, including its debut 1980 self-released single "Codex Communications." Offering a proto-dance ...
