Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/30/2009 Run time: 135 minutes Rating: RWhat is it about director Richard Donner that Mel Gibson enjoys so much that he's appeared in five of Donner's films? Is it the on-set pranks? Could it be the big-budget perks and $20-million paychecks? Or is it just a well-stocked catering table? Whatever the case, the
Lethal Weapon star and director teamed up again, along with fellow superstar Julia Roberts, for this typically glossy, entertaining but ultimately hokey thriller. Gibson plays New York cab driver Jerry Fletcher, whose wacky belief in conspiracies finally hits on a coincidental truth involving an evil figure named Jonas (Patrick Stewart) and a sec! ret program of government-funded mind control. Roberts plays the Justice Department attorney who finally believes in Jerry's paranoid ramblings. With a plot (from
LA. Confidential cowriter Brian Helgeland) that's a lot of fun as long as you don't think about it too critically,
Conspiracy Theory benefits immeasurably from the charisma of its high-magnitude stars.

--Jeff ShannonThe one hundred conspiracy theories of all time-from Harold Wilson as a Soviet agent to Princess Diana's death, from the attacks on 9/11 in the U.S. and on 7/7 in London. This volume presents research and plausible cover-up theories for the reader to judge.
set of 4 dvd'sMel's the man for screen excitement! Mel Gibson leads Kurt Russell and Michelle! Pfeiffer in Tequila Sunrise (Side A). Robert Towne (Chinatown) writes and directs a volatile mix of romance and suspense involving a contraband smuggler (Gibson) who claims he's gone straight, a cop (Russell) who's a boyhood pal of the smuggler, and a restaurateur (Pfeiffer) who may be a pawn in the men's moves and countermoves. Gibson brings gonzo brilliance to Conspiracy Theory (Side B), starring with Julia Roberts in a funny, fierce thriller about a New York cabbie (Gibson) who becomes a hunted man when one of his crackpot theories turns out to be ominously true. Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon) directs this wild action ride.
Seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list: Jesse Ventura tells it like it is, and this time he tackles our government’s biggest secrets.
In this explosive account of wrongful acts and ensuing cover-ups, Jesse Ventura takes a systematic look at the wide gap between what the government knows and when the government knows! it, and what is revealed to the American people and when it i! s reveal ed. The media is complicit in these acts of deception, often refusing to consider alternate possibilities and dismissing voices that diverge from public opinion. In
American Conspiracies, Ventura looks closely at the theories that have been presented over the years and examines the truth, as well as the lies.
The assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, the Kennedys, and Martin Luther King Jr.â€"these cases and more need to be re-examined in Ventura’s eyes. Was Watergate presented honestly, or was the CIA involved? Did the Republican Party set out to purposefully steal two elections? Has all of the evidence on 9/11 been presented, or is there another angle that the media is afraid to explore? And finally, is the collapse of today’s financial order and the bailout plan by the Federal Reserve the widest-reaching conspiracy ever perpetrated? Nothing gets by Jesse Ventura in
American Conspiracies.
