Super Size Me & Before Sunset
(Also, Coming Soon)

Super Size Me
Americans are fat. Two out of three Americans are overweight or obese, but where does personal responsibility end and corporate responsibility take over? On the heels of two teenage girls suing McDonald?s for making them obese, director Morgan Spurlock sets out to discover what has made people in our country so fat. The result is "Super Size Me," a hilarious and often terrifying look at the effects of fast food on the human body.

Before Sunset
Writer/director Richard Linklater takes the concept of real-time seriously. This sequel to 1995?s "Before Sunrise" not only documents the protagonists' every exchange, every movement, minute for minute; it also is set nine years later, which is the exactly how long it?s been between the two films. The effect is elegiac for anyone who related to the first cinema verite Gen-X romantic drama, which starred Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine, two hitchhikers in Europe who meandered around Vienna discoursing intelligently and passionately with idealistic college-student fervor on every conceivable subject for just one evening before going their separate ways, failing to exchange phone numbers, presumably trusting in fate to reunite them.
