- "Here is a twelve car train dashing along at a high rate of speed. It is seen first in the distance and approaches and then passes by the camera. As it takes less than 30 seconds to show this 50 foot strip on a Projecting Kinetoscope, an idea may be formed of the speed of this pet train of the Northern Pacific Railway. The waving grass along the track side, the black smoke, and the clouds of dust that follow the train make very vivid effects."
- Through the eyes of 11 year old Calvin we see the helplessness and hopelessness that domestic violence inflicts on our children. 'Calvin' depicts a convincing portrait of one of the uglier aspects of contemporary America: and yet there is in it, much lightness, hope and humanity. Race, culture and poverty are all explored in this film. 'Calvin' challenges our assumptions while affirming our love for the underdog and under served.
- A lonely elderly widow, Carol has invited her friend Pearl to stay with her for the month while Pearl's apartment is being fumigated. Pearl is agonizing about her age in the mirror when a saleslady comes to the door and offers her a deal on beauty products from the Glamavive anti-aging line. Pearl signs the contract and awakes the next day to find herself transformed into a young woman again. She rushes off to the mall with Carol for a crazy new wardrobe, when in a dressing room conversation, Pearl revels that she once dated Carol's now deceased husband of fifty years. Carol is upset that Pearl never told her about their tryst, but before they can talk about it more, Pearl rushes off to meet up with Carol's college-aged grandson, Adam, to ask him to take her out dancing later. As Carol is searching for Pearl and Adam at the Mall, she finds a Glamavive pamphlet on the ground. The Glamavive Saleslady appears almost out of nowhere and begins pressuring Carol to sign a contract to reclaim her youth. The Saleslady's ambiguous answers about side-effects of the product leads Carol to fear for Pearl's life. She takes a copy of the contract to review. Adam takes Pearl out to a dance club, and as they drink and dance, Pearl begins to seduce Adam. The next day as Carol is eating breakfast and reviewing the contract, Adam runs, barely dressed, out of the guest room where Pearl is staying. He locks himself in the bathroom and refuses to come out. Carol goes to the guest room to find their clothes strewn on the floor and Pearl lying dead in her bed. At the funeral, Carol is mourning the loss of her friend when the Glamavive Saleslady appears. Carol signs a contract and asks the woman how long she will have left. The Saleslady closes her book and they stare at Pearl lying in the coffin surrounded by old pictures of her and Carol.
