November is a psychological thriller film first screened at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival (see 2004 in film). It stars Courteney Cox as Sophie, a photographer whose life begins to unravel following a traumatic incident on November 7 that involved her boyfriend, played by James LeGros. The film co-stars Michael Ealy as a co-worker of Sophie's, Nora Dunn as her psychiatrist, and Anne Archer as her mother. Nick Offerman plays a police officer investigating the incident, while Matthew Carey has a role as a robber of a convenience store.
The low-budget independent film was directed by Greg Harrison, written by Benjamin Brand and Harrison, and produced by Danielle Renfrew and Gary Winick. Sony Pictures Classics released it to theaters in the United States on July 22, 2005 (see 2005 in film), and while its award-winning digital video photography was praised, many reviews criticised the film's story for being too ambiguous and derivative of other pictures. Critics have compared it to the work of film-makers such as David Lynch and M. Night Shyamalan.
The original title, "Swiss Lotto", had to changed since Swiss Lotto is the official lottery company in Switzerland.
Robert is lying in a room. Blurry, heavy light comes through the windows. Beer bottles are lying on the floor. What time is it? Unimportant. The day of the week? Who cares? One can hear Robert's voice, he's reading a love letter. It's gotta be long time ago, because Robert is alone. Since days, weeks, months. He has stopped to go outside. The world out there doesn't understand him, anyways. Sometimes his girlfriend appears. Out of a sudden she's lying right next to him. Kissing him, making love to him and disappears again. Robert knows, that his girlfriend doesn't exist. Not anymore. Not for him. She's a fiction, but he likes that fiction way more than everything else in this world. That's why he's in that room and not outside. Everyone finds his way through this time of depression. Friends like to laugh about it.They mourned a bit and at some point they got a new love and keep on moving. But not everyone. Some stay where they are. Like Robert. He has stopped the hands of time, just for himself and no matter what, he won't let go. They call it "obsession", but who cares, what they say? He rather waits. The voice in this film talks about things you can't see. Robert sees things, which aren't really happening. Is the ending really, what it seems to be? Written by Anonymous
Every vote counts on Election Day. When the fate of a country is far too precious to leave to the masses, the secretive and powerful must organize to secure a nation's fate.

When this man of conscience flees, the organization must pursue. Plans become clear. Enemies aligned. Allies lost. Trust destroyed. When fate itself is controlled by those who rule, futility is all that's left... and hope is its casualty. The true measure of a man is found in his convictions. When truth is something owned, men can be made. For behind every great man, is a great plan. Written by James Hollis
