This two-hour PBS documentary details not only the 1972 "third-rate burglary" that brought down an American president, but also the unprecedented gavel-to-gavel live TV coverage of the official Watergate hearings. In the summer of 1973, all three commercial networks were offered the opportunity to provide this coverage, and all three took a pass. Only PBS was willing to devote the time, money, and energy to broadcasting the entire procedure, and it is from that network's miles and miles of archival tapes that this special is gleaned. In addition to recalling such once-familiar catchwords as "To the best of my recollection" and "Expletive deleted," the special includes contemporary comments from many of the participants and eyewitnesses of the courtroom spectacle, including former Nixon associates John Dean and Jeb Magruder, journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (co-authors of All the President's Men and The Final Days), and government investigator Sam Dash. Either by accident or design, Watergate Plus 30: Shadow of History was originally telecast in late July 2003, just when certain provocative questions were being raised about the credibility of President George W. Bush's official reasons for invading Iraq. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Kids offers a bleak, unblinking view of a group of vacuous, thoughtless New York City teens in their ceaseless quest for sex, drugs, and trouble. The film primarily follows Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), who, having just realized the conquest of his latest virgin, brags that by day's end he will claim one more. While he and his friends brag to each other about their sexual exploits, Jenny (Chloë Sevigny) describes her own less-than-romantic encounter with Telly. Soon after the conversation, she learns that Telly, the only boy with whom she has slept, has infected her with the AIDS virus. Devastated, she sets out to find him and share the news. Meanwhile, Telly has set his sights on Darcy (Yakira Peguero), a lovely young girl whom he invites for a skinny dip at the local pool. Together with his friends, Telly drags Darcy along, and the entire crew jump the fence after hours. There he presents his now-familiar spiel which Darcy naïvely accepts, and the scene is set for disaster as the group heads back to a vacant apartment for an evening of sex, booze, drugs, and debauchery. Jenny finally locates Telly at the impromptu party and rushes to confront him, although she may be too late to save the next virgin in line from sharing her fate. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide
