Good Ol' Charles Schulz
This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. The "Peanuts" cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz' personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

Neil Young: Don't Be Denied Neil Young grants rare and unprecedented access for this documentary in which he traces his musical journey in his own words. The film includes new interviews shot in New York and California and utilizes previously unseen performance footage from the star's own extensive archives. It also features cohorts Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Nils Lofgren and James Taylor. From his first success with Buffalo Springfield to the bi-polar opposites of mega-stardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the soulful rock of Crazy Horse, Young's career has enjoyed many guises. The film takes Young through his rise in the '60's, his solo artist period in the '70's, his '80's embrace of the New Wave, and it ends with Young still refusing to be denied, pursuing a more eclectic musical approach but also touring in the USA with Crosby Stills Nash & Young and teaming on occasion with Crazy Horse.

Chris McCandless' cross-country "spiritual pilgrimage" ended tragically on Alaska's Stampede Trail in August of 1992. In 2006, filmmaker Ron Lamothe traced McCandless' footsteps all the way to the abandoned bus where McCandless lived, and died of starvation, 14 years earlier. THE CALL OF THE WILD documents this journey. Over the course of his travels, Lamothe meets and interviews dozens of people about the McCandless story and uncovers new evidence about the mystery surrounding his death that directly contradicts both Into the Wildauthor Jon Krakauer's literary interpretation and Sean Penn's film adaptation of the story.
