Featuring fierce rivalry, stopwatch suspense, and larger-than-life personalities, "Murderball", winner of the Documentary Audience Award and a Special Jury Prize for Editing at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, is a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby players. Whether by car wreck, fist fight, gun shot, or rogue bacteria, these men were forced to live life sitting down. In their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash the hell out of each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs. And, no, they don't wear helmets. From the gyms of middle America to the Olympic arena in Athens, Greece, "Murderball" tells the story of a group of world-class athletes unlike any ever shown on screen. In addition to smashing chairs, it will smash every stereotype you ever had about the disabled. It is a film about family, revenge, honor, sex (yes, they can) and the triumph of love over loss. But most of all, it is a film about standing up, even after your spirit - and your spine - has been crushed.
Woody Allen's wonderfully neurotic Alvy Singer falls for the equally neurotic Annie Hall and movie history is made. As talk-show host Conan O'Brien put it, no one plays "lovable befuddlement" like Diane Keaton, and no one creates romantic comedies quite like Woody Allen. Existential angst has never been so entertaining. Arguably Allen's best film, "Annie Hall" took home Oscars for Best Picture, Actress, Direction, and Screenplay (cowritten with Marshall Brickman).
