Real Life
PG
In his directorial debut Albert Brooks presents a hilarious account of what happens to a
typical American family when a group of filmmakers moves in with them to record "real
life." Brooks plays himself, a producer who pitches a movie concept about filming a
real American family for one year and editing it into a movie. Backed up by a team of
psychologists and a respected institute dealing with human behavior, he promises not to
let the cameras interfere in any way in their lives. But the problems begin on day one,
and Brooks desperately tries to hold his project together. Obsessed with presenting what's
"real," he is soon convinced that real life isn't exciting enough for film.
Brooks mercilessly parodies the Hollywood persona in this sharp satire of the
entertainment industry that presages such later films as EDTV and THE TRUMAN SHOW as well
as the television shows THE REAL WORLD, BIG BROTHER, and SURVIVOR.

A widowed newspaper reporter is drawn to a small West Virginia town to investigate a
strange creature that may have supernatural origins. Richard Gere stars as John Klein, the
scribe whose own fate became intermingled with the "mothman"--a seven-foot tall
mothlike being who appears during disasters and reveals the future to humans. While fears
in the town continue to grow, Klein becomes personally involved--thanks to an unnerving
series of phone calls from a person or thing--who knows everything about him...and
everything that's to come. Laura Linney co-stars as the town's sheriff in this eerie,
fact-based chiller that was adapted from John A. Keel's 1975 book. With Will Patton (Gone
in Sixty Seconds), Debra Messing (TV's Will and Grace), Lucinda Jenney (Thirteen Days).
Directed by Mark Pellington (Arlington Road).
