After the Gulf Coast was ravaged by a barrage of tropical storms, six television networks simultaneously broadcast this one hour fundraising concert in order to benefit those who lost their homes, lives, and families during the natural disaster. Some of the artists who participated in the hopes of both assisting and paying tribute to those who had survived, include Neil Young singing When God Made Me and U2 collaborating with Mary J. Blige for the song One. Entertainers such as Jack Black and Chris Rock also appear in the program to provide both introductions and comic relief. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Playing drums for Nirvana might not have seemed like the launching pad for a great guitar-slinging frontman, but Dave Grohl survived the collapse of Seattle's finest to form one of America's finest hard rock bands, The Foo Fighters. The Foo Fighters: Everywhere but Home is a live video that captures the band at various venues during their 2002-2003 world tour, as well as presents rare acoustic and archival material. Songs include "All My Life," "Everlong," "For All the Cows," "Learn to Fly," "Monkey Wrench," and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Troubled artist Karen and unfulfilled yuppie Kyle are both nearing breaking points in their disjointed lives. Meeting by chance one night on a bus, the two are mugged and left for dead, only to awaken having been brought to an abandoned church by a kind passerby. They come to with no memory of who they are, and with an emotional clean slate, they fall in love. Their amnesia is not permanent, however, and when they remember their former lives they will face a choice: should they return to their former selves or continue with their new lives? ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Sarah Pirozek filmed this documentary combining interviews with concert footage of the 1996 San Francisco Tibetan Freedom Concert, which attracted 100,000 people to Golden Gate Park. The film's executive producer, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, is a Buddhist who initiated the concept of the annual concert. Included are current-events clips (the Dalai Lama addressing Congress, President Clinton announcing a continuation of trade despite China's treatment of Tibetans). With numbers (or partial performances) from top groups (A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Bjork, De La Soul, Foo Fighters, Fugees, Richie Havens, John Lee Hooker, Biz Markie, Tim Meadows, Yoko Ono, Pavement, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins), this film was distributed to one city at a time and marketed like a concert tour. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
