Wag the Dog (1997) From the Academy Award Winning Director of Rain Man-Barry Levinson. When the President of the United States is involved in a sex-scandal it is up to the White House adviser, Ronnie Bream (Robert De Niro) to cover it up. As the clock ticks, Ronnie joines forces with cutthroat Hollywood producer Stanley Moss (Dustin Hoffman) in a desperate attempt to divert the country’s attention away from the President. They decide to redirect the media spotlight to a war, but lacking a real war, they create one. Acresses are called in to play pretty refugees and rock stars record stirring hit songs about freedom. The War saves the President in this wickedly funny political satire that couldn’t have been more timely!Showtime (2002) LAPD Detective Sergeant Mitch Preston cares only about doing his job and nailing crooks. LAPD Patrol Officer Trey Sellars joined the force as a day job until his acting career took off. During an undercover drug buy Mitch was working that Trey botched by calling in for backup and drawing media attention, Mitch’s partner is shot with a very exotic 12-gauge automatic weapon; Mitch then shoots the video camera out of the hands of a reporter filming the action when the cameraman refused to shut it down. Faced with a $10 million lawsuit, the department agrees to let producer Chase Renzi film Mitch’s investigation for a new reality TV show, and constantly tries to make everything more viewer friendly by changing everything about Mitch’s life to fit the stereotypical view of police officers–and partners him with Trey.
