...possibly more trusting, than it once was, nothing much happens, dramatically speaking, in Career Girls. It is less scarring than Leigh's Naked, less poignant than Secrets & Lies. But still it offers a behavioral truthfulness and a passionate engagement with the despairs of dailiness that put most movies to shame...

...earth and begin a thousand-year rule, this glory preceded by a period of turmoil and chaos. During the dark years, church members understand that it is their destiny to sustain a light to help usher in the kingdom to come. In their preparations to do so, they shame even the most avid of secular survivalists. Church members are advised to keep one year's food and other supplies on hand at all times, and many do.

...manhunt leave you wanting? Is spectacle, not suicide, what you crave? Then here, for your VCR, are some fictional blazes of glory that put the news channels to shame. James Cagney's classic White Heat might just be the king of them all. Said to be based on Arthur "Doc" Barker and his "Ma," Cagney's mama's boy Cody Jarrett went out, back in 1949, like no one before or since.
