Reverend Billy, a.k.a. Bill Talen, is an actor/performance artist and a leading figure in the anti-globalization movement. His disruptions or "shopping interventions" (as he calls them) in public spaces are in the tradition of the Living Theater, Jos Bov, Lenny Bruce, The Yippies. The police call it illegal trespassing. The film follows the Reverend's "shopping interventions/actions" into cultural dead zones within the island of Manhattan such as Starbucks, Disney and the New York University construction site at the Edgar Allan Poe House. One man is afraid of our increasingly aggressive pursuit of globalization. One man has had enough of huge corporations stamping on little people. One man has decided to take a stand against everything he thinks is wrong in the world. Who is this man? His name is Reverend Billy, and together with his devoted followers in the Church of Stop Shopping he has waged a war on consumerism and globalization. This documentary follows Billy as he performs a series of shopping interventions in New York City, effectively stopping trade in a number of high profile outlets so he can deliver his sermons on why places such as Starbucks (which appears to be Billy's most common target) are morally reprehensible. Entertaining and educational, this film is a wonderful way to find out what this inimitable figure is all about.

Reverend Billy & The Church Of Stop Shopping film
$15.65 
A movie based on a PowerPoint presentation by a former presidential candidate may not sound exciting, but once AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH hits its stride viewers may be surprised how compelling the subject matter proves to be. While many high-ranking political figures continue to argue about global warming, Al Gore has plunged headlong into a serious wake-up call for the planet with a series of lectures about the problem. It's on one of these lectures that this movie from director Davis Guggenheim is based. Guggenheim breaks up Gore's delivery by illustrating his points with film footage, much of which features the former Democratic nominee exploring the globe as he examines the effects of global warming. Gore's speech is neatly divided between calm recitations of the facts about the issue and several stories of a personal nature. His skills as an orator are considerable, and it's hard not to be alarmed by most of what he has to say. Indeed, as Gore relates tales of melting polar icecaps, rising global ...

In 2001, German historian Lothar Machtan published a book claiming that Adolf Hitler was a homosexual, and that many of the dictator's vile actions could be traced to his sublimated sexuality and self-denial. Understandably, the book caused a controversy among historians, and led documentary filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (PARTY MONSTER, THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE) to produce a film exploring Machtan's claims. The film examines Machtan's evidence, as well as providing other historians and living witnesses the opportunity ...
