\*\* _Down by Sorrow_\*\* A girl named Sorrow (starring, uhm… I don’t know any child actresses… a Leon-era Natalie Portman, perhaps?) is orphaned at a young age and raised by a hard but fair retired soldier (Liam Neeson) who owns a small farm in medieval Pidkkilan. It’s discovered that Sorrow’s tears have the property of imbuing goose down with the power of levitation. Curious people from all over the realm come to visit Sorrow and her increasingly worried father, until it attracts the attention of the king of Pidkkilan, several of his vassals, and the ruler of Oquisltri, with whom Pidkkilan has an uneasy truce. Sorcerors are sent by various interested parties to investigate Sorrow, and it is discovered that an ancient ritual can give the power of controlled flight to the blessed down to make magic quilts, jackets, etc. Sorrow is 14 at this point, and is at first delighted to be at the center of attention; she willingly cuts open onions to bring out the waterworks. One of the vassals ends up killing the emissary from Oquisltri, and tensions start to mount. The first Sorrow Jacket is created by the king of Pidkkilan’s sorceror, and reports of flying soldiers begin to circulate. Sorrow and her father, realizing the danger, flee the “protective custody” of Pidkkilan and are relentlessly chased by all and sundry while the surrounding powers begin to make war. The king of Pidkkilan is assassinated by a Sorrow Cape’d vassal’s sorceror, and all hell breaks loose. The final shot is of Sorrow hiding on a treetop, watching elite flying soldiers dodging arrows as they try to breach a castle in the distance, a single tear rolling down her cheek and hitting a goose resting below. Celine Dion sings a tear-jerking song about birds with broken wings over the closing credits. TO BE CONTINUED… Well, that was fun. Next: **Pickle Control** ---

> [@tdn](#): > > **Kiefer Madness** Kiefer Bapper (Eric Roberts) is a hapless agent from the Anti Terrorism Unit in LA, and has got only 24 hours to stop several attempts at a terrorist attack by hackers, Muslims, the Australian Mob and PETA. This 2007 zany comedy attempted to satirize action movies and the TV show “24” in particular. It was a comercial and critical failure, with several reviewers agreeing in that even at it’s craziest, it was still not as over the top as the original. ---
