Congress
is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment
-- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies
like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast
from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what
site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our
elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying
campaign.
"The Lookout" marks Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank's ("Out of Sight"), directorial debut. The intelligent crime drama is centered around Chris (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt, "Mysterious Skin"), a once promising high school athlete whose
life is turned upside down following a tragic accident. As he tries to maintain
a normal life, he takes a job as a janitor at a bank where he ultimately finds
himself caught up in a planned heist. The film also stars Jeff Daniels ("The
Squid and the Whale"), Isla Fisher ("The Wedding Crashers"), Matthew Goode ("Match
Point") and Carla Gugino ("Night at the Museum"). — More here
