Theodora Goes Wild--The small town of Lynnfield gets upset when newspaper editor Thomas Mitchell starts serializing a saucy novel. Little do they know who penned the scandalous work under a pseudonym.
Darwin--No, not Charles or Australia but a virtual ghost town in Death Valley. A strange documentary.

NB: The Marx Brothers "Duck Soup" features the great 'mirror' sequence. The first half of "Night at the Opera" takes place on a cruise liner. Steve Martin plays Navin Johnson in "The Jerk" - he calls his penis his "special purpose". "Bottle Rocket" started out as a short film before being extended into Wes Anderson's first feature. Lukas Moodysson's "Together" follows a mother and children who move in with a commune of hippies following the husband's drunken violent behaviour.
Notes: Safe-cracker Gary Dove encounters the violent and vulgar "Beast," Don Logan. In Tales from Earthsea, the villain Lord Cob sets a trap for the wizard Sparrowhawk (a.k.a. Ged). Brad Bird directed The Incredibles. Snake Plissken is chosen to rescue the president from Manhattan.
