V For Vendetta, based on the Alan Moore/David Lloyd graphic novel from DC Comics, gives you dystopian anarchy with all the explodo, flipping knives, and Hugo Weaving behind a mask you could possibly hope for. Still, I bet you could have a synopsis, right? Oh, look, here comes one now:
Synopsis: Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.
Very nice. Be aware that we're giving away a copy of the DVD (which streets today) as well as a kickass V mask. Yes. V mask. I dig it, personally.

- We're not going to give away or sell your address or e-mail address or anything without your permission.

You whackjobs who send us fifteen entries a month for the Mystery Box with addresses like "123 Main Street," "123 Main Avenue" and "123 Main" are weak. So don't even try it. We'll throw out all the extraneous entries and mock you.
