Felled by a single gunshot wound, Reeves leaves behind a fiancée - aspiring starlet Leonore Lemmon - and millions of fans who are shocked by his death. But it is his grieving mother, Helen Bessolo, who will not let the questionable circumstances surrounding his demise go unaddressed. Helen seeks justice, or at least answers. The Los Angeles Police Department closes the case, but Helen hires - for $50 a day - private detective Louis Simo. Simo soon ascertains that the torrid affair Reeves had with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM studio executive Eddie Mannix, might hold the key to the truth. But truth and justice are not so easily found in Hollywood. Simo pursues dangerous and elusive leads in both high and low places and, in trying to turn up the heat, risks getting burned. The detective also uncovers unexpected connections to his own life as the case turns more personal and he learns more about Reeves himself. Behind the icon was a complex man who gave his life to Hollywood in more ways than one.

Hollywood had it coming
Seann William Scott, Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Eliza Dushku, Jason Mewes, Carrie Fisher, Jeff Anderson, Brian O'Halloran, Shannon Elizabeth, Ali Larter, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, Will Ferrell, Judd Nelson, George Carlin

The quest takes them from New Jersey to Hollywood where a showdown involving the police, the jewel thieves, and the Bluntman and Chronic filmmakers will decide the fate of Suzanne, Jay, Silent Bob, and their good names.
Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941 - It Was A Sunday Morning...
Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, Tom Sizemore, Josh Hartnett, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin, William Lee Scott, Greg Zola, Ewen Bremner, Jaime King, Catherine Kellner, Jennifer Garner, Sara Rue, Michael Shannon
DIRECTOR:The above summaries do a great job of describing the dynamics of the love triangle that develops between the two pilots that fall in love with the same nurse. The movie also does a credible job of displaying the war from the American side with FDR and our side. It also shows the strategy of Japan as they plan for and execute all facets of the attack on Pearl Harbor. While all details may not be historically correct, I believe that they do the job well - all things considered. Historic events that were altered were probably done so in an attempt to also make this movie the entertaining epic that it is.
