I
Am Trying to Break
Your Heart chronicles the controversy surrounding the creation
and release of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," the acclaimed new
album from alt-country turned experimental rock band Wilco.
Initially planning to follow the band's collaborative process,
filmmaker Sam Jones soon had unexpected human drama and
corporate intrigue to contend with when the band started
breaking apart and the new album was rejected by their label.

Bowling
for Columbine
Starts Friday, October 25 at the Hillcrest Cinemas
With his trademark charm and biting wit, filmmaker Michael
Moore (director of Roger and Me and author of Stupid White
Men) delivers an alternately humorous and horrifying view
of firearms abuse in the United States. From a look at the
Columbine High School security camera tapes, to a visit
with NRA President Charlton Heston, to a young man who makes
homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook, Moore's new
film will resonate with anyone dreading—but expecting—the
next breaking news report about a homegrown assassin.
