Back in the 1970s, Peter Medak directed Peter Sellers in "Ghost in the Noonday Sun."  The movie never got a theatrical release, arriving years later on videotape and then DVD.  Now though, Medak has put together a documentary on his experiences shooting "Ghost" and he's here to tell us all about it.

In 1980's "Urban Cowboy" we see John Travolta as a deplorable human being even if they don't use that word.  In fact, the movie doesn't really seem to recognize him as such, but he is and the movie is the worse for not knowing it.  "The Hunt" does use the word deplorable, but in a totally different context.  Like "Urban Cowboy," the movie is brutal, but in completely different fashion.  Let's discuss
