    Agent 88 (2013)
    Film (short) by Digger Mesch (Action, Comedy and Drama) Producer AGENT 88 is the story of the world's deadliest assassin... an 88-year-old British woman on the verge of Alzheimer's. An eclectic cocktail of KILL BILL, 007, and MR MAGOO. AGENT 88 is a dark, action comedy that meshes wry wit with cutting edge martial arts action and the conviction that... Killing just gets better with age. She may suffer from the occasional bout of forgetfulness but this geriatric killing machine is as proficient with a bazooka as she is lucky at bingo.

  • Lincoln

    Lincoln (2012)
    Film by Steven Spielberg (Drama, War, History and Biography) 2nd Asst Accountant In 1865, as the American Civil War winds inexorably toward conclusion, U.S. president Abraham Lincoln endeavors to achieve passage of the landmark constitutional amendment which will forever ban slavery from the United States. However, his task is a race against time, for peace may come at any time, and if it comes before the amendment is passed, the returning southern states will stop it before it can become law. Lincoln must, by almost any means possible, obtain enough votes from a recalcitrant Congress before peace arrives and it is too late. Yet the president is torn, as an early peace would save thousands of lives. As the nation confronts its conscience over the freedom of its entire population, Lincoln faces his own crisis of conscience -- end slavery or end the war.
