The

film directed by
Olatunde Osunsanmi,
and starring Milla
Jovovich. The film

with aliens, in
which the fourth
kind denotes an
alien abduction.
The film's trailer
states that the
story is based on
"actual case
studies," but does
not specify which
cases. As a result,
much speculation has
arisen regarding the
search for
documented evidence
from the actual

Dr. Abigail Tyler is
a real person or a
fictional character
for use in an
internet viral
marketing campaign.

A Serious Man,
is a black comedy feature film
written, produced,
and directed by Joel
and Ethan Coen. It
is due to be
released on October
2, 2009, in the
United States. The
film is set in St.
Louis Park,
Minnesota in the
year 1967, and is
intended in some
ways to reflect the
childhood of the
Coen brothers as
they recall it.
The protagonist is
Larry Gopnik, a
Jewish academic
living in a
middle-class Jewish
neighborhood in a
Minneapolis suburb.
The story follows
Gopnik's spiritual
and existential
struggle as his wife
Judith contemplates
leaving him for his
colleague Sy Ableman.
Adding to his
suffering is his
ne'er-do-well
brother, Arthur, who
lacks the resources
and the ability to
care for himself and
consequently lives
on Larry's couch.
Larry begins to
question the value
of his life as he
deals with these and
other trials,
including his son,
Danny, who steals
money from his
wallet to buy
marijuana; his
daughter, Sarah, who
steals to finance a
planned nose job; a
student who
alternately attempts
to bribe him for a
passing grade and
threatens to sue him
for defamation (made
all the worse
because Larry is up
for tenure); and a
female neighbor who
distracts him by
sunbathing in the
nude. Larry seeks
advice from three
different rabbis in
an attempt to solve
his problems and to
become an austere
and devoted man.
Capitalism: A Love Story,
is a 2009
documentary film
directed by Michael
Moore. The film
centers on the
financial crisis of
2007–2009 and the
recovery stimulus,
while putting
forward an
indictment of the
current economic
order in the United
States and
capitalism in
general. Topics
covered include
everything from Wall
Street's "casino
mentality",
for-profit prisons,
Goldman Sachs'
influence in
Washington, DC, the
poverty-level of
many airline pilots,
the large wave of
home foreclosures,
and the consequences
of "runaway greed."
The film will be
widely released to
the public in the
United States on
October 2, 2009.
The
film alternates
between a fierce
critique of the
status quo, personal
portraits of the
suffering caused by
the recent economic
crisis, and comical
social satire. Some
featured stories
include an internal
Citibank report
happily declaring
the United States a
"plutonomy"
(plutocracy), with
the top 1 percent of
the population
controlling more
financial wealth
than the bottom 95
percent, along with
an expose of "dead
peasant insurance"
policies that have
companies cashing in
on the untimely
deaths of their
employees.
Additionally, the
film contrasts the
present economic
reality in America
with archival
footage of US
president Franklin
D. Roosevelt calling
for a Second Bill of
Rights that would
guarantee all
Americans "a useful
job, a decent home,
adequate health
care, and a good
education."
The documentary also
features a number of
positive portrayals,
which include
bailout watchdog
Elizabeth Warren,
Wayne County Sheriff
Warren Evans who put
forth a moratorium
on home evictions;
and Ohio
Representative Marcy
Kaptur, who on the
floor of the US
Congress encouraged
Americans to be
"squatters" in their
own homes, and
refuse to be
vacated.

series of the same
name. The film is
directed by Jonathan Mostow and stars
Bruce Willis.

The year 2017 is a
future in which
humans live in
near-total
isolation, never
leaving the safety
and comfort of their
homes, and only
communicating with
their fellow man
through
remotely-controlled
robotic bodies that
serve as
"surrogates",
designed as
better-looking
versions of their
human operators.
Because people are
safe all the time,
and damage done to a
surrogate is not
even felt by its
owner, it is a
peaceful world free
from fear, pain, and
crime. Agent Greer
(Willis) is an FBI
agent who enlists
the aid of his own
surrogate to
investigate the
first murder in
years, of the genius
college student who
invented the
surrogates. The case
grows more
complicated,
however, when
several humans are
murdered because
their surrogates are
destroyed. The
withdrawn detective
discovers that in
order to actually
catch the killer he
will have to
physically venture
outside the safety
of his home for the
first time in many
years, and enlists
the aid of another
agent in tracking
his target down.
