Program Description:

"It’s Movie Time’s The Year That Was - 2003" (59 minutes)

An entertaining and provocative look at the way the world of movies and the world of real events intersected last year. The program features reviews of over twenty-five of the year’s most important movies, as well as musical selections from the movies' original sound tracks. From “City of God,” “Talk to Her,” and “Man on the Train,” to “The Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Kill Bill,” and “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” co-hosts John DeSando and Clay Lowe make connections between the movies’ themes and the political events that eventually led America into war. Also featured are interviews with Parminder Nagra (“Bend It Like Beckham”) and Academy Award Nominee Alec Baldwin (“The Cooler”).
