This film is a montage of stories about U.S. soldiers fighting the war in Iraq and how the conflict is covered by the media. Based on true stories, this narrative is told using source materials such as news clips, YouTube confessions, and testimonials.

Based around a small group of soldiers at a checkpoint in Iraq, De Palma constantly switches points of view from the truth as the men see it to the truth as the media portrays it.

The audience will likely question the filters through which we receive information and ask if truth really is the first casualty of war.

Starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor, this musical re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz is coming to Jengo's! In this version, Dorothy (Ross) is a 24 year old school teacher in Harlem, who awakens after a snowstorm in the land of Oz - a surreal version of New York City.

The scarecrow is made of garbage, the tin man is a mechanical carnie from Coney Island, and the lion works as a living statue in front of the public library.

Originally released in 1978 to commercial failure, the film has remained a favorite to many and has risen to cult classic status.

The Shopocalypse is upon us! This wild movie from producer Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) introduces the world to Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping as he and his choir go across the country spreading their message.

Reverend Billy reminds us all that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas, preaching in Times Square, the Mall of America, and even at a Disney theme park! He performs corporate exorcisms, retail interventions, and tells anyone that will listen that we are all doomed for the fires of eternal debt.

Hilarious, shocking, and every bit as entertaining as you could imagine, the Reverend simply asks the audience to think - during the most commercialized religious holiday - what would Jesus buy?

If you were turned away at the Cucalorus Film Festival in November, you have another chance to see this wonderful feature, directed by local filmmaker Erica Dunton. The film, which sold out at the festival, takes a fresh and unconventional look at modern romance.

It is a story about a young woman who falls for her best friend, a guy that is out every night with a new girl. As he starts to notice Lucy (Corri English), she decides to settle into a comfortable relationship with another guy who she "can't find anything wrong with."

Dunton's skill in developing real problems and relationships for the characters, added to her use of improvisation, make this film a delight to watch. And perhaps it makes us all question if finding love doesn't have more to do with finding ourselves first.
