Evan Almighty
Evan Baxter says goodbye to the news-anchoring business in favor of his job as a
naive freshman congressman. When God orders him to build an ark and prepare for
an impending inundation, Evan sheepishly takes on the task in this bizarre comedy about a modern-day Noah's Ark. |
|
Ten Canoes
An art-house film filled with more humor and skilled acting than most Hollywood
blockbusters, Ten Canoes is a wry story within a story. Set in Australia's far northern Arnhem Land, the film tells the tale of friendship, deception, and forbidden love. |
