This madcap documentary re-examines the
cultural revolution and restores the once
bright reputation of Mao Zedong.
“The Passion of the Mao” begins by correcting
misconceptions about Mao’s early years.
Unlike the tryants with whom he is usually
compared, Mao was a successful scholar
and businessman before he became a
rabble-rouser.
By the mid 1950s,he had unified China,
spurred an impressive rate of growth,restructured
the education system,and improved living standards.
Then he became a Maoist. Mao devoted the
rest of his life to eliminating the centralized
Soviet Bureacracy heand his colleagues had
built.
The film takes viewers back to the 1960s.
Successful women and men,some now
professors at major universitites in the west,
credit Mao and especially the Cultural
Revolution for making them feminists
and allowing them access to education.
During the Cultural Revolution, Mao brought
Western-style ballets and operas, reinterpreted
in Chinese form,to China’s Villagess. Peasants
chose leaders who represented their true interest,
and rural communities built schools independent of
the central government.
And what about the anti-Maoist beliefs that have
sullied the reputation of the man once referred
to as ”The Sun in the Sky?”They are part of a
vast radical conspiracy, the result of propaganda
churned out by the same people who turned the
tanks on the tiananmen demonstrators.

FORGIVING THE FRANKLINS is the hilarious and absurd tale of what happens to a conservative North Carolina family after the burden of Original Sin is lifted from them through Divine Intervention.
Before the fortunate catastrophe of a car crash changes them forever, The Franklins are passionless American stereotypes living unfulfilling but picture-perfect lives. Frank's a lawyer, Betty's a homemaker, Brian's a high school football hero, and Caroline's a cheerleader. Not a one of them is genuinely contented in the roles they play.
After the accident, Frank, Betty and Brian emerge from a collective coma, reborn into a life without shame. Much to the horror of Caroline, who escaped the coma, her family's repressed sexuality is unleashed and on display for anyone who'd care to look.
The community they live in doesn't quite appreciate The Franklin's new way of embracing life, which leads to a dramatic conclusion you'll never see coming.
If you're in the mood for a movie that constantly surprises, delights and leaves you thinking when it's over, hop in bed with The Franklins tonight. They'll be happy to teach you a few new tricks.

After the loss of their close friend Billy, six friends go
their separate ways only to be brought back together five years later by his
ghost.In order to set things right,
they decide to go to the cabin where he died to put his spirit to rest.Old rivalries and long festering grudges
quickly rise to the surface until one of them mysteriously dies and they all
realize they’re trapped together in the woods.Without any means of escape and no clue as to who or what is after them,
they all must try to stick together in order to escape The Creek.

"I
don�t know how to describe NOBODY LOVES ALICE other than to say it is
an updated retelling of FATAL ATTRACTION. The catch is that the unlucky
bastard picked on by the manipulative woman doesn�t actually cheat on
his lady. In fact, he is set up by his would-be fianc�e in an attempt
to test his fidelity...."Molly Celaschi, Horroryearbook.com
"I
loved this film....it had me on the edge of my seat. The story was
unique, thrilling and suspenseful which made me all the more impressed
when I found out that this was Roger Scheck's directorial debut. I
highly recommend this film and look forward to seeing more of these
actors in the future..."Sassy72, Amazon.com
