Welcome to ToonZone Movie Club (M), a forum devoted to viewing and discussing films selected and recommended by ToonZone members. For newbies and others just joining us, I'll start with a little explanation.
Each Friday we will be launching a new thread, inviting ToonZone members and visitors to watch a film selected from lists of titles we have received; we will then spend the following week discussing that film. We choose films that have not been widely seen by our members, so that the greatest number of us can enjoy a new cinematic experience, as recommended by some of our other members.
The (M) in the title of this (and future) threads stands for "mature." That's because the films discussed in them are intended for mature viewers, either because they contain objectionable material, or because they represent cinematic works of a particularly challenging variety. Of course, all ages and sensibilities are welcome here, and discussion will take place on a PG (or, at most, PG-13) level. The (M) is simply designed as a caution: The films here are not for all tastes or viewers. (We also maintain parallel threads--the (A) threads--for films suitable for all ages.)

Our second set of selections in the Movie Club focus on odd, almost extra-dimensional tales. "Run Lola Run" is a German film that tells the story of a woman who has to deliver a large quantity of cash to her boyfriend, and spins out different scenarios about how she accomplishes this task, depending upon the different tacks she chooses.
"Run Lola Run" is available on both DVD and VHS formats, and should be available in the Drama, Thriller, or Foreign film sections of most video stores.
Next week's (M) selection: "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
