Senna looks at the life of the late Brazilian Formula 1 superstarnew

Race car drivers, we know, go very, very fast, but rarely with the thoughtfulness and integrity shown by Brazilian Formula 1 superstar Ayrton Senna. In the ultra competitive speed-freak world of car racing, it seems slightly out of the norm for a racer to regularly consult with God mid-race. Then again, very little about the driver, who died from a racing injury in 1994, suggests he was run-of-the-mill. The documentary Senna makes a convincing case for the spirit the three-time Formula 1 world champion brought to the sport.

The Man Who Fell to Earthnew

The wonderment threshold has been raised considerably since the days when Nicolas Roeg and his leading man David Bowie were pop-culture sensations. And so it's an opportune time to revisit Roeg's misunderstood sci-fi idyll, The Man Who Fell to Earth, especially in light of a new "director's cut," which restores some twenty minutes of the filmmaker's intentions.
