"Movies are a great way to explore the risk we never took. INTO THE WILD opens tonight, Sean Penn shares the story of first reading the book from an interview in Telluride. We also look at THE MOSQUITO COAST (1986, Peter Weir), starring Harrison Ford, and what these films tell us about breaking from civilization and doing the unthinkable. Karina interviews the makers of HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD and it becomes clear why she wrote “I don???t care how tired of Iraq documentaries you think you are???you need to see Heavy Metal in Baghdad.” FilmCouch #38 Subscribe in the iTunes store and a new free episode will download every Friday.

"The Mosquito Coast (1986) is based on the Paul Theroux novel of a brilliant American inventor (Harrison Ford) who abandons his ailing country and attempts to live the lifestyle he wants in the jungles of Belize. Although the movie is two decades old, it is not dated in form or content. Things do not go smoothly. “I wanted everything to be right angles,” says the main character, “but life is not like that. Cut your finger on the lid of a tuna can and die.” Good movie. Jim Bell " [More]
