Synopsis: | When their beloved bicycle is stolen, three anarchist punks romp through Minneapolis to recover it. But after a fruitless search, a vision of Joan of Arc urges them to break the chains of tyranny, and the only logical conclusion is to smash every bike lock in the city. It's all destructive fun until the Bike Lock Industry arrives to protect their investment - bringing martial law, city-wide lockdown, and warring courier factions with them. As the punks fight to build their city-wide bicycle utopia, they soon discover that the greatest threat isn't from posers or corporations, but from their own overwhelming idealism. | |||||

Synopsis: | In the heated summer of 1720 investment mania fills London, and a poor young highwayman convinces Jonathan Wild to release him from prison, with a promise to help secure his criminal empire under the shadow of the Tyburn Gallows. But when the thief robs a writer and his crimes become published, he quickly discovers the benefits that a dangerous reputation can yield. Through a careful balance of renown and reward, six people - a branded highwayman, a penniless writer, a clever young lady, a proud investor, a thuggish cockney, and Jonathan Wild, England's great Thief-Taker General - are caught in an intricate game of cat and mouse as each struggles to survive and profit from the hangman's noose. | |||||

| Described as a true and accurate account of the 1599 zombie invasion at the Globe Theatre , William Shakespeares Land of the Dead explores the Elizabethan era of Shakespeare, Francis Bacon and Queen Elizabeth, all of whom are struggling to survive a zombie attack! In the midst of an argument in which Will Kemp is thrown out of the theater for refusing to acknowledge Falstaffs death in Henry V, a costume designer is mysteriously bitten by a zombie, thus causing all hell to break loose. As the Globe becomes a quarantine-zone in a zombie-riddled London, the characters must learn how to survive amongst both the undead and each other. | |||||
