7 17 Issue 78 / 2015 FILM guestlist.net How to Change the World depicts the beginning of the Greenpeace movement A group of Vancouver-based activists have found themselves starting a global, social movement. With footage from an organisational archive, Jerry Rothwell's documentary focuses on the human dynamics of the Greenpeace movement, particularly on the role of late leader Bob Hunter. The documentary describes in detail the progress and the gradual process of growth of Greenpeace, and at the end the disillusionment of Hunter himself, who returned to high-profile environmental journalism before his death in 2005 due to cancer. He found himself caught between conflicting notions of Greenpeace's mission. The key figures of today's Greenpeace are Paul Watson and Patrick Moore, who were at the head of Greenpeace's pyramid and are now "fighting" for a leadership role. The archive footage is helped and enriched by tracks from Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd and more - they give a real sense of period to the film and work well with Lesley Barber's orchestral score. Barry Pepper is the perfect choice to interpret and describe passages from Hunter's writings. There is no official general release date yet, but this documentary is a must- watch. How to CHange tHe world Coming soon Hitman: Agent 47 Based on the Hitman video game series, Agent 47 promises plenty of action. Rupert Friend plays the title character, a genetically engineered secret agent who carries out assassination of high profile targets across the world, who teams up with a young woman to overcome a mega-corporation that plans to create an army of killers. And with Zachary Quinto on board as a villain, we're definitely intrigued. American Ultra A stoner government agent is marked for extermination but he's high and he's well trained. That's basically the whole plot and that's really all we need. With guns and gags in equal measure, and the double team of Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart (who were so good together in Adventureland) sparking up, we will be watching. Jane Got A Gun In this all-star action-western, Jane (Natalie Portman) gets caught up in a fight with the Bishop Boys gang (led by Ewan McGregor) after her husband comes home riddled with bullets, and is forced to work with her former fiancé (Joel Edgerton) to save her family. Westerns are not normally high on our list, and the film has had its release pushed back a few times, so this is a difficult one to call. August 27th August 28th September 4th
