This week, we discuss two films starring friend of the show Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The first is Owning Mahowny (2003). The film is based on the true story of Brian Molony, a Toronto bank employee who embezzled more than $10 million to feed his gambling addiction. It was named one of the ten best films of the year by critic Roger Ebert.
The second is State and Main (2000), an American comedy film written and directed by David Mamet. The plot sees a movie crew invade a small town whose residents are all too ready to give up their values for showbiz glitz.
