1. Key to "An Inconvenient Truth"
..................................
In "An Inconvenient Truth," director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves
the science of global warming with former Vice President Al Gore's
personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of
global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore
presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and
compelling way using Keynote. The film is not a story of despair, but
rather a rallying cry.
"When we were trying to figure out how to best film Al's presentation,"
coproducer Lesley Chilcott recalls, "we looked at a variety of options
when designing multiple screens for him. Once we started investigating
Keynote and its capabilities, we realized that it was best to actually
film the presentation using Keynote on multiple screens.
"It's just a phenomenal program," Chilcott adds. "Al keeps what he calls
a genome of all his master slides--whether they are charts or graphs or
images or QuickTime clips--in Keynote, so he can tailor his presentation
to different audiences."

Inconvenient Truth" and watch the movie trailer.

4. Movie Trailers
..................
Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson), a hotshot rookie race car
driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the
finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy
Route 66 town of Radiator Springs.
En route across country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California
to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's
off-beat characters--including Sally (a snazzy 2002 Porsche, voiced by
Bonnie Hunt), Doc Hudson (a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past,
voiced by Paul Newman) and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow truck, voiced
by Larry the Cable Guy)--who help him realize that there are more
important things than trophies.
"Cars" opens in theaters June 9.

Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest "why can't you do
this one thing for me?" argument, art dealer Brooke (Jennifer Aniston)

tours of Chicago.
What follows is a series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and
underminings suggested by the former couple's friends, confidants and
the occasional total stranger. When neither ex is willing to move out of
the condo they used to share, the only solution is to continue living as
hostile roommates until somebody caves.
