| 187 | Samuel L. Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Clifton Gonzalez, Tony Plana, Jack Kehler, Karina Arroyave, Lobo Sebastian, Jonah Rooney, Demetrius Navarro | After being felled by a vicious stabbing attack precipitated by failing a student, a determined Brooklyn high school science teacher heads west for a fresh start. But his new assignment--substitute relief in a gang-ridden school for a teacher on "stress leave"--proves even more exhausting, as his new pupils' resistance to his teaching soon provokes a potentially deadly desperation. Penned by first-timer Scott Yagemann, a seven-year veteran of the LA school system. "187" is California police code for murder. | D |
| 10,000 BC | Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Tim Barlow | Director Roland Emmerich weaves myth and legend together in this
epic love story. As the Ice Age is ending, the Yagahl people are struggling
to survive. When Evolet (Camilla Belle), a young, blue-eyed girl is found and
brought back to the tribe, their esteemed elder, Old Mother (Mona Hammond),
realizes that the child is fulfilling a prophecy and will be instrumental in
saving the Yagahl. D'Leh (Steven Strait) swore his heart to Evolet when she
first came to the tribe, and after many years claims her as his own. But no
sooner are the young lovers together, than they are torn apart by mysterious
men arriving on horseback who kidnap many of the Yagahl, including Evolet,
for slave trade. Determined to save his love and their people, D'Leh embarks
on a rescue mission with his father figure Tic'Tic (Cliff Curtis). Along the
way, they encounter different lands, new people, and strange creatures
including giant birds akin to a killer ostrich. Mixing history and fantasy, there is little (if anything) that is historically accurate in this film. Rather, Emmerich weaves together myths and legends to unite people from different lands into one force and bring down a great evil that threatens all of their civilizations. Emmerich also tackles multiple universal themes: the redemption of an outsider, the coming of age of a boy who becomes a leader, the importance of loyalty, and the discovery and understanding of new cultures. Ultimately, he tackles the age-old saga of star-crossed lovers and the power of love. Omar Sharif narrates this love story that spans mountains, valleys, deserts, and rivers. |

| 10th And Wolf | James Marsden, Giovanni Ribisi, Brad Renfro, Piper Perabo, Dennis Hopper, Lesley Ann Warren, Dash Mihok, Tommy Lee, Brian Dennehy, Val Kilmer | James Marsden stars as Tommy, an ex-Marine who gets roped into
going undercover in the old neighborhood in this film from CRASH co-writer
Robert Moresko. Giovanni Ribisi plays his cousin Joey, the slightly unhinged
boss of the local crime family--they've been friends since they were kids.
Brad Renfro is Vincent, Tommy's dim-witted younger brother and Joey's
right-hand man after Tommy left to join the Marines. There are lots of
violent flashbacks to when all these guys brawled around the old neighborhood
and went to mob funerals. Now there's a villainous Italian drug lord trying
to seize control and a turf war is imminent. It's up to Tommy to take the
drug lord down without getting his little brother killed or Joey indicted in
the process. Piper Perabo (COYOTE UGLY) is Tommy's love interest, an
attractive mob widow now tending bar at a strip club co-owned by the
coke-snorting thug who killed her husband (Dash Mihok). Episodic and
entertaining, 10th AND WOLF plays out like a greatest-hits collection of scenes
from other mob movies, but this is not a bad thing. An array of well-known
names show up in bit parts: Leslie Ann Warren is great as Joey's
falling-down-drunk of a mother, Dennis Hopper is an old-time Mafia guy, Val
Kilmer is a deranged bar patron, Tommy Lee (ex of Motley Crue and Pamela
Anderson) is one of Joey's crew, and Brian Dennehy is an unscrupulous federal
agent. Theatrical Release: August 18, 2006 |

| 13 Going On 30 | Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Christa B. Allen, Sam Ball, Susan Egan, Alex Black, Alexandra Kyle, Robinne Lee, Justin Burke, Marcia Debonis, Renee Olstead, Mark Ruffalo, Shana Dowdeswell, Jack Salvatore Jr., Kathy Baker | After Jenna Rink's 13th birthday party where her friend Lucy
plays a cruel prank on her, she promptly makes a wish that she could skip
adolescence and be 30. With the help of some wish dust given to her by her
unpopular best friend Matty, her wish comes true. She wakes up to find that
her 13-year-old self is now inhabiting the body--and life--of a 30-year-old,
high-powered, New York magazine editor. Frightened by her new adult life,
Jenna (Jennifer Garner) seeks the help of Matty (Mark Ruffalo), but he hasn't
spoken to her since high school. Unfortunately, as she uncovers the details
of the time she skipped, she learns that perhaps she hasn't made the best
decisions. Similar to the 1988 Tom Hanks vehicle BIG, 13 GOING ON 30 benefits from the undeniable appeal of Garner, who amusingly exudes the awkwardness and energy of a teenager. Meanwhile copious '80s pop culture references, an energetic soundtrack, and vibrant colors provide instant, foolproof nostalgia. Director Gary Winick (TADPOLE) has crafted an undeniably fun picture for any age or gender. Theatrical Release: APRIL 23, 2004 |

| 2 Fast 2 Furious | Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Eva Mendes, Cole Hauser, Devon Aoki, Ludacris, James Remar, Amaury Nolasco, Thom Berry, Michael Ealy, Jin Auyeyng | The sequel to the racing smash THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS may not
have Vin Diesel as its star, but it burns with even higher octane than its
predecessor, and a whole lot less extraneous drama. Back in action is
undercover cop Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) whose career has hit the skids
since he let Diesel's character escape at the last film's end. He has sunk in
status and is now a fringe dweller on the Miami street racing scene. A chance
at redemption arrives when the fuzz recruits him to investigate Carter
Vellone (Cole Hauser), a top-dog street racer with dangerous drug
connections. O'Connor recruits his bickering childhood pal (model/singer
Tyrese), now a nitro-burning ex-con from the Diesel school of toughness, to
help him pull the bad guys to the curb with a tire-spinning vengeance. John Singleton (BOYZ IN THE HOOD, HIGHER LEARNING) directed, and obviously had great fun delivering, a straight-up racing thriller that's free of the message-bearing pressure of being a "John Singleton film." 2 FAST fairly roars off the screen with comic book exuberance and a cheerful disregard for anything that gets in the way of its forward momentum. Best of all is Tyrese, a natural, laid-back star--he's not afraid to poke fun at his own shirtless model-boy image and amply compensates for the mighty Vin's absence. Rapper Ludacriss is also memorable as O'Connor's mechanic, as is model Devon Akoi as a cute female racer. Theatrical release: June 6, 2003 (NY) |

| 25th Hour | Edward Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Barry Pepper, Rosario Dawson, Anna Paquin, Brian Cox | Spike Lee's bracing adaptation of David Benioff's novel is a
vibrant, vital motion picture. Edward Norton plays Monty Brogan, a harmless
drug dealer who has 24 hours of freedom before serving a seven-year jail
sentence. Nervous, confused, and terrified, Monty turns to his closest
friends for support: Frank Slattery (Barry Pepper), a cocky stockbroker who
resents Monty for throwing his life away; Jakob Elinsky (Philip Seymour
Hoffman), a hapless high school teacher who is attracted to one of his
students (Anna Paquin); and Monty's heartbroken father (Brian Cox), who
blames himself for Monty's demise. And then there is Naturelle (Rosario
Dawson), Monty's beautiful girlfriend, who may or may not be guilty of
ratting Monty out to the cops. Monty spends his last day trying to ignore the
inevitability of time, but everyone and everything only reminds him of the
bleak, unpromising days that lay ahead. With 25TH HOUR, Spike Lee revisits the fiery territory of 1989's DO THE RIGHT THING. Frustrated by Hollywood's cold shoulder toward the tragedy of September 11th, Lee attacks the subject with fervor, resulting in a film that brilliantly captures the mood and atmosphere in New York City in the months following the attack. The film features stellar contributions from composer Terence Blanchard, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and Lee's ensemble cast. Theatrical release: December 19, 2002 |

| 3:10 To Yuma | Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol, Dallas Roberts, Ben Foster, Alan Tudyk, Vinessa Shaw, Logan Lerman | Based on the Elmore Leonard story, 3:10 TO YUMA is a riveting
remake of the 1957 classic Western. It's the story of Dan Evans (Christian
Bale), a down-and-out rancher who lost his leg in the Civil War. With a wife
and two sons, he is struggling to put food on the table, and unable to make
payments on his land. When the notorious gunman Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) is
apprehended nearby, a few local men are needed to escort him to the town of
Contention so he can be put on the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison. Few will
volunteer for the job, as they know that Wade's ruthless gang will follow
them, but Evans sees an opportunity to make some fast cash, and offers to go
in exchange for $200. The small team of men set off, and are later joined by
Evans's young son William (Logan Lerman), who has run away from home to join
them. What follows is a race against time, as the group tries to get to Yuma
without the clever and dangerous Wade outsmarting them. Crowe is fantastic as the smooth-talking gunman, and Bale delivers a moving performance as the weary-eyed Evans. The two men are perfect foils for each other. Wade is the infamous gunman, living the high life on the wrong side of the law, while Evans, who has struggled to lead an honest life, has only faced one hardship after another. It is a classic tale of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, and yet, by the story's end, it becomes harder to separate the good guys from the bad. As the clock ticks down, the film builds to an emotional nail-biter of an ending, reminiscent of BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID |
|
| 300 - Tonight We Dine In Hell | Gerard Butler, Lena Heady, David Wenham, Dominic West, Vincent Regan | Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300
takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a
horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack
Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive
visual spectacle. Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) plays Leonidas,
the king of ancient Sparta. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy,
and Leonidas won't kneel to the demands of Persia's King Xerxes (LOST's
Rodrigo Santoro). Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against
Xerxes's army of millions. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headley, THE BROTHERS
GRIMM) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements as she butts
heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, THE WIRE). With its gore and scale, 300 marks director Snyder as a possible successor to Peter Jackson's throne. Jackson also got his start in horror with BAD TASTE and DEAD ALIVE, and the two men share a penchant for ambitious battle scenes. The huge fights in 300 rival Jackson's efforts in the LORD OF THE RINGS films. David Wenham, who starred in two of the Tolkien-based films, plays Dilios, one of the Spartan soldiers. Though the cast doesn't boast any A-list stars, the actors ably fill their larger-than-life roles. In a film filled with men, Headley stands out as Queen Gorgo. She matches her warrior husband in strength, while showing love toward Leonidas and their son. Though there are scenes that demonstrate the humanity of the characters, 300 is undeniably about bravery and blood, and it succeeds because of the stylish depictions of both. |

| 3000 Miles to Graceland | Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox, Christian Slater, Kevin Pollak, David Arquette, Howie Long, Bokeem Woodbine, Thomas Hayden Church, Jon Lovitz, Ice-T, David Kaye, Andrew Stevens | A skilled band of criminals gang together with a goal to get
rich at the 2001 International Elvis Convention in Las Vegas. Dressed to the
nines as flawless Elvis impersonators and armed with enough ammo and
electronic gadgets to easily knock off any establishment, it's no surprise
when, at the last minute, the deal goes bad. A wild action-adventure film
with twisting plot and a kicking soundtrack by George Clinton, 3,000 MILES TO
GRACELAND is a non-stop rollicking ride. Theatrical Release: February 23, 2001 Kurt Russell starred as Elvis Presley in John Carpenter's 1979 television film ELVIS--THE MOVIE. The actual distance between Graceland and Las Vegas is approximately 1,500 miles. |

| 40 Days and 40 Nights | Josh Hartnett, Shannyn Sossamon, Vinessa Shaw, Paulo Costanzo, Griffin Dunn, Monet Mazur, Maggie Gyllenhaal | Matt (Josh Hartnett) is having a hard time moving on six months
after his relationship with bombshell Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) ended. He finds
himself involved in empty physical relationships that are unfulfilling and
ultimately send him fleeing. His solution is to give up sex and anything
sexual for the 40 days of Lent. Initially, Matt is empowered by his
decision--until he meets stunning Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), the girl of his
dreams, at the local laundromat. Erica doesn't know about Matt's vow of abstinence,
which impacts their budding relationship. To complicate matters more, Matt's
co-workers are determined to literally put their two cents in as well by
establishing a betting pool about how long Matt can keep his vow. Hartnett is
endearing as the clumsy Matt, who desperately wants to do the right thing.
Griffin Dunne stars as Matt's sex-starved boss. Also starring Paulo Costanzo
and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film was produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner,
the team that made NOTTING HILL and BRIDGET JONES' DIARY, and directed by
Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS). The city of San Francisco provides a beautiful
backdrop to this modern look at love that includes a touch of crude
teen-movie humor. Theatrical release: March 1, 2002 |

| 48 Hours | Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy, Anette O'Toole, Frank McRae, Jame Remar | ||
| 50 First Dates | Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler, Sean Astin, Missi Pyle, Rob Schneider, Dan Aykroyd, Blake Clark, Lynn Collins, Pomaika'i Brown, Amy Hill, Adam Del Rio, Luisa Strus, Katheryn Winnick, Jackie Titone, Kevin James, Maya Rudolph, Kent Avenido | Scatological and sentimental, satirical and sincere, 50 FIRST
DATES pairs Adam Sandler with Drew Barrymore in this romantic comedy about
the power of love and short-term memory loss in Hawaii. Henry Roth (Sandler),
the local marina veterinarian, only dates tourists because he's afraid of
commitment--that is, until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). Unfortunately, Lucy
lost her short-term memory months ago in a car accident, and for her, each
day is October the 13th. She follows the same routine every day--breakfast at
the same restaurant, pineapple-picking with her dad, and eventually bed time,
where sleep wipes away her short-term memory. Henry, however, refuses to be
forgotten, and as his puppy love matures, he embarks on a quest to restore
her memory, or at least be a part of her everyday routine. But vying for
Lucy's attention isn't always easy. Sandler explores various neophytic
approaches before making a video for Lucy to watch every morning, reminding
her of who she is and what she's doing. The film includes a trademark Sandler
ballad as Henry serenades Lucy with his ukulele and a series of familiar
salacious puns. Rob Schneider plays Henry's best friend, a goofy native
stoner whose physical hijinks earn numerous laughs, and a cameo by Dan Akroyd
as Lucy's doctor rounds out the cast. Theatrial Release: FEBRUARY 13, 2004 |

| A Beautiful Mind | Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Paul Bettany, Adam Goldberg, Judd Hirsch, Joshua Lucas, Anthony Rapp, Christopher Plummer | Director Ron Howard delivers his finest effort with his
extraordinary film, A BEAUTIFUL MIND, which won the Academy Award for Best
Picture in 2001. Based loosely on Sylvia Nasar's acclaimed biography of
mathematician John Forbes Nash, the film is a compelling look at one man's
genius, his debilitating mental illness, and the fine line between the two. A
BEAUTIFUL MIND begins with Nash (Russell Crowe) at Princeton, where he
struggles to think of an original idea, and the stroke of genius that will
make him matter. Nash is eccentric, socially awkward, and extremely
competitive. Eventually, he finds the inspiration for his innovative and
influential work on game theory. He's chosen for a post at MIT, which
includes crucial code-breaking work for the US government. There, he meets a
beautiful and brilliant student, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). They marry but
their happiness is threatened, as Nash, belatedly diagnosed as schizophrenic,
descends into madness. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman cannily condenses Nash's
story, and the film manages to dramatize both Nash's mathematical brilliance
and his schizophrenia in a compellingly visual manner. Crowe delivers a
strong performance, and has real chemistry with Connelly. The two make the
film's story about the power of love believable and moving. Theatrical release: December 25, 2001 (Limited) January 4, 2002 (Expanded) |

| A Bridge Too Far | John Wayne, Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Hardy Kruger, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell, Luv Ullmann, Denholm Elliott, Peter Faber, Frank Grimes, and Christopher Good | Richard Attenborough's ambitious, all-star adaptation (by William Goldman) of Cornelius Ryan's book, gives an account of the Battle of Arnhem. In 1944, the Allied powers attempt to expedite the end of the war with a costly operation to capture six bridges connecting Holland to Germany ended in Allied defeat. A multitude of notables star in Attenborough's epic dealing with the true account of the Battle of Arnhem. In 1944, the Allied powers attempted to expedite the end of the war by planning an ambitious and costly operation (the capturing of six bridges connecting Holland to Germany) that ended up getting bungled by both the Allied and Axis powers. | |
| A Christmas Story | Peter Billingsley, Darren McGavin, Melinda Dillon, Ian Petrella, Scott Schwartz, R.D. Robb, Tedde Moore, Yano Anaya, Zack Ward, Jeff Gillen | This vignette-laden, nostalgic view of Christmastime in 1940s Indiana follows nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas--and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. By turns warped and winsome, the comedy follows Ralphie as he prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. Based on the novel by humorist Jean Shepherd (who also narrates the film), A CHRISTMAS STORY gained popularity long after its theatrical run, through frequent holiday broadcasts that turned its schoolyard "triple-dog" dares, family neuroses, and childhood indignities into a Yuletide tradition. | |
| A Civil Action | John Travolta, Robert Duvall, James Gandolfini, Dan Hedaya, John Lithgow, William H. Macy, Kathleen Quinlan, Tony Shalhoub, Stephen Fry, Zeljko Ivanek, Sydney Pollack, Mary Mara, Daaniel Von Bargen, Michael Byrne, Tracy Miller, Alan Wilder, Josh Pais, Kaiulani Lee, Kevin Fry, John Lafayette, Charles Levin, Jay Patterson | Jan Schlichtmann, a tenacious young lawyer, is confronted with
the litigation of a lifetime in this unbelievable real-life story. Several
families in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts, have suffered the tragic
losses of their children to the rare cancer known as leukemia. After having
their claim rejected by most law firms in town, these citizens approach
Schlichtmann with the possibility that the deaths of their children may have
had to do with Woburn's drinking water supply being contaminated by a couple
of local businesses. The rub lies in the fact that these businesses are
offshoots of two of the most powerful national corporations in the country!
Schlichtmann must push his skill and craftiness as a lawyer to the limit in
order to oust his opponents, who are working with a limitless bankroll. Based
on the great fact-based novel. |

| A Clockwork Orange | Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri, Aubrey Morris, James Marcus, Michael Bates, Warren Clarke, Miriam Karlin, Carl Duering, John Clive, David Prowse | From its opening shot of Malcolm McDowell staring with evil
intent directly into the camera (which pulls back to reveal him drinking a
glass of milk), Stanley Kubrick's brilliant A CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces
itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience. The film, set in an
unidentified future, overwhelms the senses with its almost comic depictions
of rape and violence set to an upbeat classical and pop music score. Kubrick
based his chilling masterpiece on Anthony Burgess's culture-shaking novel
about a young man growing into adulthood, but unable to shake his huge
problem with authority figures. The first part of the film shows Alex (a
career-defining performance by McDowell) and his "droogs" (his
cohorts) indulging in what they refer to as "a little bit of the old
ultraviolence." After establishing Alex and co. as unremitting
psychopaths, Kubrick's movie changes tact, and shows Alex getting caught and
forced to undergo controversial treatment that will make it impossible for
him to commit violent acts, leading to a fascinating ending to the film.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE purposely confuses crime and punishment, cause and effect, hero and villain, irony and satire, and many other concepts, creating a truly unique work of art in the process. Its magnificent, colorful, futuristic set designs and utter determination to shock, frighten, and thoroughly entertain left audiences reeling in the '70s. Kubrick even withdrew the film from distribution in the UK, after reading newspaper reports of people dressing up as Alex and his Droogs and meting out their own brand of ultraviolence (it was subsequently rereleased after his death). One thing is for sure: No one who has seen it has ever been able to hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Beethoven again in quite the same way. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, based on the prescient novel by Anthony Burgess, is director Stanley Kubrick's masterful satire on crime and punishment in an ultraviolent future. Theatrical release: February 9, 1972 |

| A Far Off Place | Reese Witherspoon, Ethan Randall, Jack Thompson, Maximilian Schell, Saral Bok, Robert John Burke, Patricia Kalember, Daniel Gerroll, Miles Anderson | After witnessing poachers on an African animal preserve, two
teenagers (Reese Witherspoon and Ethan Embry), formerly strangers, must make
a daring escape across 1000 miles of deadly desert terrain. With only their
minds and the help of a local man to help them in their journey, they
encounter countless threats and obstacles, including wild animals and
terrifying weather! Two children, orphaned by poachers, are pursued across the African desert aided by a friendly bushman. Released theatrically in the USA March 12, 1993 Filmed in Africa, in Rank color; prints by Technicolor. The film is thematically linked to Nicolas Roeg's "Walkabout." |

| A Few Good Men | Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, James Marshall, J.T. Walsh, Kiefer Sutherland, Wolfgang Bodison, Cuba Gooding Jr., David Bowe | When two marines are charged with murdering a member of their
platoon during an unsanctioned disciplinary action in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
the armed forces hire a lieutenant they believe is a lightweight defense
attorney. Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) prides himself in having
successfully plea-bargained every one of his 44 cases and would just as well
make this one his 45th. However, ambitious internal affairs officer
Lieutenant Commander Jo Ann Galloway (Demi Moore) smells a rat in the form of
a hushed-up practice known as Code Red and, furious at Kaffee's halfhearted
efforts, gets hired as the younger cadet's defender. Aided by Lt. Com.
Galloway's prodding, Lt. Kaffee begins to realize the rottenness of the whole
affair and sets to take on the whole Guantanamo Bay marine corps and its
codes, a decision that makes inevitable a ferocious head-to-head showdown
with an immovable force. Irascible Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson, in
one of the most striking performances of his fabled career) heads the Cuban
marine base and is on the cusp of appointment to the National Security
Council. Jessup embodies both the necessity and the evil in necessary evil
and does not take lightly to anyone questioning his or his corps' methods.
Aaron Sorkin's script is adapted from his own gripping award-winning Broadway
play and is skillfully brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner. In Rob Reiner's A FEW GOOD MEN, the military hires a young defense attorney to handle a controversial case. However, when a headstrong lieutenant commander joins the proceedings, the tension dramatically rises. |

| A Force Of One | Jennifer O'Neill, Chuck Norris, Ron O'Neill, Clu Gulager, James Whitmore Jr., Eric Laneuville, Bill Wallace | After a number of undercover narcotics agents are found murdered, the police enlist the aid of a karate champion named Matt Logan (played by Chuck Norris). Logan soon discovers that a traitor within the police force is responsible for the killings. | 1 |
| A History Of Violence | Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris, William Hurt, Ashton Holmes, Stephen McHattie, Peter MacNeill | Canadian director David Cronenberg, whose impressive oeuvre
includes such disparate works as THE DEAD ZONE, THE FLY, DEAD RINGERS, M.
BUTTERFLY, and SPIDER, has made what might be the best film of his career
with A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Loosely based on the graphic novel by John Wagner
and Vince Locke, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen as Tom Stall, a quiet,
easygoing family man who runs a diner in a small Indiana town. But when two
dangerous criminals come into the restaurant prepared to wreak havoc, Stall
turns hero and shoots them both. After Stall's story is blasted all over the
media, Philly mobster Carl Fogaty (an excellent Ed Harris) shows up, claiming
that Tom is actually former hit man Joey Cusack--and they've got some
important business to finish. While Stall insists that Fogaty is mistaken,
his family--his wife, Edie (Maria Bello); teenage son, Jack (Ashton Holmes);
and young daughter, Sarah (Heidi Hayes)--gets dragged into the danger that
constantly threatens to explode. Cronenberg, whose films often deal with the
fantastical, the futuristic, and the supernatural, has done a masterly job
creating a wholly believable modern world where evil lurks just around the
corner. Howard Shore's tense, moody music complements the outstanding acting
in a violent, powerful film that is not to be missed. Theatrical Release: September 23, 2005 |

| A Lot Like Love | Ashton Kutcher, Amanda Peet, Herschel Bleefeld, Kathryn Hahn, Moon Bloodgood, Ali Larter, Taryn Manning, Kal Penn, Gabriel Mann, Jocelyn Seagrave, Aimee Garcia, Jeremy Sisto, Ty Giordano, Melissa Van Der Schyff, Linda Hunt | From British director Nigel Cole, whose sweet-hearted comedies
CALENDAR GIRLS and SAVING GRACE shared a similar combination of humor and
true emotion, A LOT LIKE LOVE is the story of two friends who seem destined
to love each other--if they can ever realize that themselves. Meeting on a
flight from Los Angeles to New York, naive Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and tough
Emily (Amanda Peet) have sex in an airplane lavatory before learning each
other's names. Despite this intimate introduction, Emily is uninterested in
getting to know the guy she just picked up, telling Oliver frankly that he's
not her type. The two part ways, but end up running into each other hours
later in what proves to be just the first of many semi-coincidental romantic
encounters. After spending a fun day together in the city, Oliver gives Emily
his home number and tells her to call him in 6 years, once he's gotten his
life and career figured out. When an unforeseen breakup leaves Emily dateless
for New Year's Eve a few years later, she calls Oliver and they meet again.
In the years that have passed since their first meeting, Emily has taken up
acting, Oliver has started an online diaper-selling business, and both have
gotten more flattering haircuts. But Emily is disappointed to learn that
Oliver is moving to San Francisco for business the next day. Over the course
of a few years, Emily and Oliver grow to depend on each other in times of
crisis, and develop a solid friendship. While each sporadic encounter
contains an undeniable spark, the timing never seems to be right, with
several bad relationships, career transitions, and location changes getting
in the way. But will the pair realize their feelings for each other and get
together before it's too late? Theatrical Release: April 22, 2005 |

| A Love Song For Bobby Long | John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson, Gabriel Macht, Deborah Kara Unger, Dane Rhodes, Clayne Crawford | Dipping a spoon in a jar of peanut butter and coating it in
M&Ms while watching gory medical shows on television is, for Pursy
(Scarlett Johansson), an afternoon well-spent. But, when her mother's death
forces her to get off the couch and leave her trailer park and grimy
boyfriend behind, she finds some new friends who have her bested in the sloth
department. Arriving at her late mother's home in New Orleans, she meets
Bobby Long (John Travolta) and his sidekick Lawson (Gabriel Macht), two
sweaty alcoholics who are squatting in the dilapidated dwelling. Bobby Long
not only lies to Pursy about the fact that she legally owns the house--taking
advantage of her innocence--he also behaves like an angry and aggressive
dirty old man. It is Lawson who sees Pursy for who she is--a directionless
18-year-old girl who desperately needs guidance and positive role models. His
fatherly support sparks an instant crush between the two, which only fuels
Bobby's drinking and deviance. However, with time and patience the three
friends find they have more in common than they first realized, and they help
each other to get back on track. A moody film in set in toxic shades of blue, green, and red, A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG combines the lazy, lurking, sometimes romantic mystique of New Orleans with the desperation of three lost souls. Rain storms counterbalance hazy summer days drinking beer and singing folk songs, while Bobby Long and Lawson--who were formerly English teachers--add a necessary dose of intellect with their constant literary trivia. THEATRICAL RELEASE: DECEMBER 29, 2004 (NY/LA) JANUARY 21, 2004 (EXPANDED) |

| A Perfect Murder | Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen, David Suchet, Sarita Chouohury | Emily Bradford (Paltrow) is a society daughter married to the
successful Steven Taylor (Douglas). Heiress to a huge family fortune, Emily
is due to inherit a one hundred million dollar trust fund much to the delight
of her conniving husband. An adulterous transgression by Emily with the even
more devious David (Mortenson) gives Steven a chance to try and outwit them
both for the big prize. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Dial M
for Murder." Based on the play"Dial M For Murder" by Frederick Knott |
|
| A Simple Plan | Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda, Brent Briscoe, Gary Cole, Chelcie Ross, Jack Walsh, Peter Syvertsen, Tom Carey, John Paxton, Becky Ann Baker | Like the Coen brothers' FARGO, Sam Raimi's A SIMPLE PLAN is an ice-cold neo-noir as chilling and bleak as its snow-covered Minnesota locale. When two brothers, straightlaced family man Hank (Bill Paxton) and simple-minded loser Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton)--along with Jacob's unabashed town-drunk friend Lou (Brent Briscoe)--find 4.4 million dollars inside a crashed plane, they believe they've found the financial answer to all their problems. All they have to do is keep it a secret until the plane is discovered and any investigations are completed. This proves to be easier said than done, however, when the three men (as well as Hank's surprisingly calculating wife, Sarah, played by Bridget Fonda), each with their different reasons, begin to lose trust in the others. When an FBI agent (Gary Cole) comes to town, the tension becomes explosive, peeling away layers of familial resentment and resulting in betrayal, deceit, and, ultimately, murder. Thornton's brilliantly understated and profoundly moving performance was recognized by the Academy with a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, while the taut script, by crime writer Scott B. Smith from his own novel, was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. | D |
| A Time To Kill | Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Spacey, Brenda Fricker, Oliver Platt, Charles S. Dutton, Ashley Judd, Patrick McGoohan, Donald Sutherland, Oliver Platt, Brenda Fricker, Donald Sutherland, Kiefer Sutherland, M. Emmet Walsh | In a small southern town in the 1960s, a black man awaits trial
for murdering the two rednecks who viciously raped his 10-year-old daughter.
A young, idealistic white lawyer takes up the father's defense, and the
incendiary case becomes a firestorm of racism and controversy, ripping the
town apart. Based on John Grisham's bestselling first novel. This adaptation of John Grisham's bestseller takes place in the small town of Canton, Mississippi, where two White rednecks kidnap, rape and savagely beat a young Black girl.

Now Carl Lee Hailey is the one on trial, a highly controversial and fiery proceeding that begets numerous racial issues and incidents, some involving the Ku Klux Klan and the NAACP. At the center of this storm is White lawyer Jake Brigance, who not only faces an all-White jury, but personal attacks on his life should he win the case.

| A Walk To Remember | Shane West, Mandy Moore, Daryl Hannah, Al Thompson, Lauren German | Landon Carter (Shane West) and his friends are the coolest kids in Beaufort, North Carolina. They wear the right clothes, drive the right cars, and get into just enough trouble to be rebellious. Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is the opposite--there doesn't seem to be anything cool about her.

| Adaptation | Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Tilda Swinton, Cara Seymour, Brian Cox, Ron Livingston, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Curtis Hanson, Judy Greer, Catherine Keener, John Cusack, John Malkovich, David O. Russell, Gary Farmer, Stephen Tobolowsky, Rheagan Wallace, Jane Adams, Doug Jones | Following up their acclaimed debut, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH,
screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze are back to
metaphysical moviemaking with ADAPTATION. The film stars Nicolas Cage as both
Charlie Kaufman himself and his fictionalized identical twin brother, Donald
Kaufman. While the boisterous Donald freeloads off of his sibling and works
on a serial-killer movie script, Charlie is tormented by both his own army of
neuroses and his new project, adapting THE ORCHID THIEF by Susan Orlean into
a screenplay. As Charlie struggles to shape the nonfiction novel into a film,
he begins writing himself into the story of Orlean (Meryl Streep), a sad-eyed
journalist, and her subject, renegade Florida flower expert John Laroche
(Chris Cooper). The resulting tale extends far beyond the scope of the book,
stretching from Hollywood to New York to...Hollywood four billion years
ago. Equally as inventive as BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION revels in its gloriously absurd premise. Kaufman and Jonze skillfully sidestep the pitfalls of such a seemingly self-indulgent project, creating a multilayered film that focuses on the writing process as well as the nature of beauty, the beauty of nature, and dozens of other significant themes. Cage makes a stunning return to pre-Bruckheimer form in the roles of the Kaufman brothers, giving their identical appearances completely different personalities and making them believable to boot. Meanwhile, the consistently excellent Streep and the often underrated Cooper are perfectly matched as Orlean and Laroche. Theatrical Release: DECEMBER 6, 2002 |

| After Shock Earthquake In New York | Tom Skerritt, Sharon Lawrence, Charles S. Dutton, Lisa Nicole Carson, Jennifer Garner, Cicely Tyson, Rachel Ticotin, Frederick Weller | From director Mikael Salomon (HARD RAIN, SOLE SURVIVOR) comes a story of courage in the face of horror and human tragedy as New York City inhabitants are trapped in the crest of an unsuspected massive earthquake that destroys museums, skyscrapers, streets, subways, and brutally disassembles the Lady Liberty. Based on the novel by Chuck Scarborough | 1 |

starring Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek as lovebird jewel thieves. After
snatching a huge diamond out from under the nose of FBI agent Stan (Woody
Harrelson), the pair retire to the Bahamas to live happily ever after. Yet
after a few months, Max (Brosnan) gets bored and starts longing to get back
in the game. His chance comes when a cruise ship carrying a large, lovely
diamond pulls into port. Lola (Hayek) gets pretty mad when she finds out her
man wants to risk it all once again, especially since Stan is in town,
determined to redeem his sullied reputation by catching Max in the act. Don
Cheadle is the local crime boss who partners with Jack for the heist, or
maybe that's a fake-out move to put the feds off the scent. It hardly matters
in the long run, as Max and Stan become fast friends, and no diamond can
match the beauty of the film's tropical island locale, or its gorgeous lead
actress in various swimwear. One gets the sense the cast really had a good
time shooting this, and their good vibrations will undoubtedly rub off on the
vacation-deprived viewer. Naomie Harris (28 DAYS LATER) plays a major hottie
as a local cop who falls for Stan and agrees to help him take the other
couple down. The legendary Lalo Schifrin (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE) conducted the
pulse-quickening score. Theeatrical Release: NOVEMBER 12, 2004 |

| Air Force One | Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, Wendy Crewson, Liesel Matthews, William H. Macy, Dean Stockwell, Paul Guilfoyle, Xander Berkeley, Bill Smitrovich, Elya Baskin, David Vadim, Tom Everett, Philip Baker Hall, Michael Ray Miller, Spencer Garrett, Carl Weintraub, Elester Latham, Donna Bullock | President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) is one of the most
respected leaders in the history of America. When Kazakhstanian separatists
commit atrocities on their own people, Marshall authorizes a guerrilla
mission to take their leader, General Radek (Jürgen Prochnow), into custody
and restore the democratic regime. In his speech afterward, the president
vows never to let America hesitate again when dealing with terrorists.
However, that's before a group of them, led by the ruthless Korchunov (Gary
Oldman) take over his own flight on Air Force One, with his wife and young
daughter also on board. President Marshall, a decorated Vietnam veteran,
becomes a one-man vigilante force in his efforts to free his family and the
other hostages, retake the plane, and thwart the hijackers. Director Wolfgang
Petersen's thrilling film is supported by an excellent ensemble cast, which
includes William H. Macy, Philip Baker Hall, and Glenn Close as Kathryn
Bennett, the vice president who must hold the Cabinet together in Marshall's
absence. En route from Russia to the United States on Air Force One, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), his wife and daughter, and other passengers are taken hostage by a gang of wild-eyed Kazakhstanian separatist radicals led by the cunning Korchunov (Gary Oldman). Fortunately, this Chief Executive is a decorated Vietnam vet who knows his way around hand-to-hand combat and firearms. Bargain? Never! As the president fights to subdue the hijackers and ground the plane, his Cabinet fights to keep the nation together. Theatrical release: July 25, 1997. |

| Alex And Emma | Luke Wilson, Kate Hudson, Jordan Lund, Sophie Marceau, David Paymer, Alexander Wauthier, Earl Carroll II, Leili Kramer, Chino XL, Rip Taylor, Cloris Leachman | ALEX AND EMMA is the perfect date movie, courtesy of veteran
comedy director Rob Reiner (THE PRINCESS BRIDE, THIS IS SPINAL TAP). Luke
Wilson plays Alex, a struggling writer who owes $100,000 to Cuban loan
sharks. If he could only finish his romance novel in thirty days he would
earn a big enough advance to pay them off, but before he can even start, the
thugs destroy his lap top. Enter Emma (Kate Hudson) the prim, highly
opinionated stenographer Alex convinces to help him. The rest of the film
then oscillates between their present-day budding romance and the 1920s
setting of Alex's story, wherein a tutor named Adam (Wilson again) takes a
job at a lush country manor and falls for his beautiful employer, Polina
(Sophie Marceau). Hudson appears in the story as Anna, the au pair of Adam's
student, and with Emma's input, her character eventually supplants Polina as
the novel's primary romantic heroine. All in all, it's an amusing tale of how
real-life romance can affect the outcome of romantic fiction, and is loosely
based on the true story of Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, who fell in
love with his own stenographer over the course of writing THE GAMBLER. In the
Emma/Anna role, Hudson proves herself an adept comedienne, and she and Wilson
share a natural, easygoing chemistry. Theatrical Release Date: June 20, 2003 |

| Alexander | Colin Farrell, Angolina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto, Rosario Dawson, Anthony Hopkins | Director Oliver Stone chalks up an ambitious entry on his biopic
resume (past entries include films about Jim Morrison, Richard Nixon, and JFK
among others) with this cinematic treatise on the life of the mighty
Alexander the Great. Despite his young death at 32, Alexander packed some
unimaginable conquests into his limited years by ruling over a huge chunk of
the globe. Stone draws on a voice-over narration provided by Anthony Hopkins,
whose character is named Ptolemy, to aurally depict some of the battles.
Thus, Stone shifts the weight of the film to focus on the personality of
Alexander (Colin Farrell), a man who is stricken by overwhelming personal
insecurities that come in direct contrast to his bold achievements. Complex
dealings with his mother (Angelina Jolie) and father (Val Kilmer) plague him,
as does his turbulent relationship with his wife, Roxane (Rosario Dawson).
His connection with his best friend, Hephaestion (Jared Leto), is ambiguous,
with Stone touching on their vaunted homosexuality via some shared tender
moments. As these personal battles are played out, Ptolemy fills the historic
gaps in the narrative by charting the incredible conflicts that raged at
Alexander's behest. Eventually, Stone lets loose with an epic on-screen
battle, which sees Alexander's troops rumble across India in another
country-conquering quest. But while his minions struggle, and Alexander
demands success, it becomes clear that he is his own worst enemy. With the
only real threat to Alexander coming from a tempestuous struggle with his own
ego, Stone's summation of the great historical leader paints a picture of an
embittered and solitary figure who was able to rule everyone apart from
himself. Theatrical Release: November 24, 2004 |

| All the Right Moves | Tom Cruise, Craig T. Nelson, Lea Thompson, Chris Penn, Leon | Stefan (Tom Cruise) is determined to leave the sleepy
Pennsylvania mining town of Ampipe where he is growing up. An exceptional
athlete, Stef sees football as his ticket out. His pursuit of a scholarship,
however, brings him at odds with his combative coach (Craig T. Nelson). While
rebelling against his coach and his town, Stef takes up with Lisa Litski (Lea
Thompson), an attractive schoolmate and talented saxophone player. Cruise
graduated to leading man status with this film, one of many early 1980s pictures
with strong teen identities. His sexy, defiant presence carries the film.
First-time director Michael Chapman (cinematographer of TAXI DRIVER and many
other films) proves himself especially adept in capturing the intense
football sequences. Stef, a young man in a depressed Pennsylvania mill town, wants to escape to a better future. He is the star safety on his high school football team, and he and the coach work towards getting him a college athletic scholarship. But it turns out that he and the coach don't agree on everything... Shot on location in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. |

| Almost Famous | Patrick Fugit, Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson, Jason Lee, Frances McDormand, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Fairuza Balk, Noah Taylor, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Fallon, Anna Paquin, Bijou Phillips, John Fedevich, Mark Kozelek, Alice Marie Crowe, Eion Bailey, Jay Baruchel, Liz Stauber, Mark Pellington, Pauley Perrette, Michael Angarano, Olivia Rosewood | ALMOST FAMOUS is a semiautobiographical account that tells the
story of a teen journalist, William Miller (Patrick Fugit), who goes on the
road with an up-and-coming rock band called Stillwater. Though Miller's
mentor, legendary rock critic Lester Bangs (portrayed with humor and heart by
Philip Seymour Hoffman), cautions him not to befriend the musicians, Miller
takes it a step further and befriends both the band and the Band-Aids--the
girls who hang around with the band because they love the music. Miller is in
for a wild ride around the country, to thrilling concerts and debauched
backyard parties, living the life many 15-year olds dream about. He discovers
that beneath the glittery façade of rock stardom are sometimes bittersweet
life lessons and mild doses of heartbreak. More impacting are the friendships
he finds with his glamorous travel companions. Newcomer Fugit is the perfect
William Miller: baby-faced, slightly gawky, and an awestruck observer. Kate
Hudson sparkles as Penny Lane, the leader of the Band-Aids, and Frances
McDormand delivers a stellar performance as Elaine, Miller's protective and
mildly paranoid mother. In the tradition of SAY ANYTHING and JERRY MAGUIRE,
Crowe's coming-of-age tale is intelligent, well-written, and memorable. Theatrical release: September 15, 2000 |

| Along Came Polly | Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing, Hank Azaria, Bryon Brown, Alec Baldwin | Writer-director John Hamburg (writer of ZOOLANDER and MEET THE
PARENTS), teams once again with Ben Stiller to make an offbeat character
study that is guaranteed to induce helpless laughter. Reuben, an overanxious
insurance risk analyst (Stiller), weighs his every action by assessing pros
and cons. He finds himself dumped on his honeymoon by fickle wife Lisa (Debra
Messing) who runs off with Jacques, a nudist scuba instructor (Hank Azaria).
A few days later, Reuben is back in New York at a pretentious gallery
opening, wondering why he's bothering to test the waters so soon, when along
comes Polly Price (Jennifer Aniston), a quirky, worldly, adventurous soul,
whose only flaw appears to be a generalized lack of commitment. The formerly
germ-obsessed, controlling Reuben is transformed by Polly's free spirit, her
predilection for spicy food, and her pet ferret. Her love of salsa dancing
makes him jealous and painfully uncomfortable. But his heart is aflame. Hamburg, who began his directorial career with SAFE MEN, has proven himself a reliable producer of charming realism and a brand of comedy comparable to that of the Farrelly brothers. Editor William Kerr has an extraordinary sense of comic timing, which gives ALONG CAME POLLY's funny factor a boost. Stiller's salsa solo is striking--the actor is actually an amazing dancer. Last but not least, Philip Seymour Hoffman (PUNCH DRUNK LOVE, FLAWLESS) nearly steals the show as Reuben's best friend Sandy Lyle who plays both Jesus and Judas in a community production of GODSPELL. Theatrical Release: January 16, 2004 |

| American Beauty | Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Allison Janney, Peter Gallagher, Mena Suvari, Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper, Scott Bakula, Sam Robards, Barry Del Sherman | AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin
Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his
stale, repetitive existence. Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the
film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD
flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the
proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times. On a whim,
Lester quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting
weights, smoking pot, doing nothing, and discovering the overflowing
sexuality of his 16-year-old daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari).
His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), has her own midlife crisis of sorts. A
real estate agent, she experiences a youthful awakening when super-agent
Buddy Kane (Peter Gallagher) seduces her repeatedly. Meanwhile, Jane (Thora
Birch), the Burnhams' daughter, is pursued by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the
mysterious boy next door who carries a video camera around with him at all
times. When Ricky's militaristic father, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper),
discovers something potentially horrifying on one of his tapes, and when
Carolyn's rage for Lester's actions boils over, the time bomb finally
explodes. Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) is a gainfully employed suburban husband and father. Fed up with his boring, stagnant existence, he quits his job and decides to reinvent himself as a pot-smoking, responsibility-shirking teenager. What follows is at once cynical, hysterical, and, eventually, tragically uplifting. A flawless cast (Spacey, Bening, Birch, Suvari, Bentley, and especially Cooper) combines to deliver one of the decade's strongest ensemble performances in this multiple-Oscar-winning film. Director Sam Mendes, already a wunderkind in the world of British theater, proves that his talent isn't limited to the stage in his feature-length debut. |

| American Gangster | Denzel Washington, Russel Crowe, Cuba Gooding Jr., Josh Brolin, Rza, John Ortiz, John Hawkes, Ted Levine, Carla Gugino, Roger Bart, Idres Elba, Chjwetel Ejiofor, Ruby Dee, Armand Assante, Common T.I. | British director Ridley Scott may not seem a logical choice for
this truly American crime drama, but the filmmaker does an excellent job. The
film is based on a true story and set in 1968 Harlem, where Frank Lucas
(Denzel Washington) is a driver for Bumpy Johnson, one of the top figures in
the city's criminal world. When Bumpy dies, Lucas swoops in, taking over his
predecessor's empire and expanding it over the next few years with his sale
of a particularly potent brand of heroin. Meanwhile, New Jersey cop Richie
Roberts (Russell Crowe) begins to investigate the New York drug world and
discovers that there's a new power in town. Thanks to screenwriter Steve Zallian, as well as Washington and Crowe, AMERICAN GANGSTER creates a convincing portrait of two men who are neither entirely good nor entirely bad. Washington plays Lucas as a man who buys his mother a palatial home but doesn't hesitate to beat his brother's head against a window. Crowe's Roberts may turn in a million-dollar find, but he cheats on his wife. Sadly, they only meet onscreen toward the end of the film, but the minimal interaction between the two Oscar winners is fascinating. Even though the focus is on Lucas and Roberts, AMERICAN GANGSTER is filled with a wealth of strong characters played by talented actors. It seems everyone with a SAG card turns up for the film, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Josh Brolin, Ted Levine, John Hawkes, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Carla Gugino, Ruby Dee, Joe Morton, and rappers T.I. and RZA. It's an epic film, with a run time of over two and a half hours, but it's time well spent. Fans of classic crime films such as THE GODFATHER, SERPICO, and CARLITO'S WAY will certainly be pleased by this addition to the genre. Theatrical Release: November 2, 2007 |

| American Graffiti | Richard Dryfuss, Ronny Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams, Wolfman Jack, Harrison Ford, Bo Hopkins, Suzanne Somers | Set in 1962; Produced and released in 1973. AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard) prepares to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend, is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious doubts about his future. Also included here are the hopeless nerd (Charles Martin Smith) and the eternally cool drag racer, John (Paul LeMat), who feels pressure to live up to his reputation. A nostalgic feeling is evoked in seeing the teenagers cruising in their hot rods, eating at Mel's Diner, and listening to Wolfman Jack spin the latest hits, with the camera jumping from character to character as they each enjoy--or fret over--their last moments of summer freedom. Theatrical release: August 12, 1973. The license plate number on John Milner's car is THX-138, closely resembling the title of Lucas' 1970 film, THX 1138. |

| American History X | Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Fairuza Balk, Beverly D'Angelo, Ethan Suplee, Avery Brooks, Elliott Gould, Stacy Keach, William Russ | Edward Norton gives an impassioned performance as Derek Vinyard, a Southern Californian skinhead who must do time after committing a hateful murder. Once in jail, his mind opens and he sees the error of his ways. Upon reentering the real world, he must now turn his attentions to his younger brother Danny, who is swiftly heading down the same path as his brother. Controversy surrounded the film when director Tony Kaye disowned it, claiming that Norton had the film re-edited without Kaye's permission. Norton still got an Oscar Nomination for his intense performance. | D |

first, he is elated by the control he wields but as maturity and a blossoming

Three homeboys, Santana, Mundo and JD, born in a crucible of poverty, create the capitalist dream in their own way as powerful gang members.

In this installment, Matt receives the punishment of being sent to the notorious band camp, made famous by Alyson Hannigan's character in the first AMERICAN PIE. Mischief and bad manners seem to run in the family, as Matt plays every practical joke in the book on his innocent campmates. It's all raunchy fun and games until a serious crush threatens to change Matt's fun-loving demeanor. Don't miss a guest appearance by Eugene Levy reappearing in his role as Jim's dad. | |

AMERICAN PIE 2 finds Jim (Jason Biggs), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Kevin
(Thomas Ian Nicholas), Oz (Chris Klein), and Stifler (Seann William Scott)
reunited for the summer after their first year at college. When the boys rent
a beach house, even more familiar faces--such as Vicky (Tara Reid), Jessica
(Natasha Lyonne), and the Sherminator (Chris Owen)--begin to appear. Soon Jim
discovers that the gorgeous exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) will
be making a romantic visit, and, in a panic, he heads for band camp to seek
sex advice from the flute-playing Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). A worthy follow-up to AMERICAN PIE, this outrageous and entertaining sequel flaunts even more absurd antics and unlikely couplings. Erotic attempts continue to go awry, and musical instruments still find their way into the most inappropriate places. And once again, Eugene Levy brings down the house as Jim's nerdy yet understanding father. Fans of the first film will not be disappointed. Theatrical release: August 10, 2001 |

| American Psycho | Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Joshua Lucas, Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Matt Ross, William (Bill) Sage, Cara Seymour, Justin Theroux, Guinevere Turner | A cunning indictment of the materialism of the 1980s, AMERICAN
PSYCHO is Mary Harron's (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) and Guinevere Turner's (GO FISH)
deft interpretation of the dark and violent Brett Easton Ellis novel of the
same name. Christian Bale (VELVET GOLDMINE) plays Patrick Bateman, the
personification of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s.
Imprisoned in an inane corporate existence fueled by status symbols, small
talk, and gossip, Bateman begins a bloody reign of terror on nearly all that
cross his path. The film's gray and navy mise-en-scene is filled with chilly,
vacant streets, hard-edged skyscrapers and cold interiors flecked with the
latest technological gadgets and designer flourishes. Mary Harron's camera
glides through these spaces with the undisturbed detachment of a shark. Bale
is a razor sharp Bateman whose cool, predatory grace is only matched by the
equally indifferent corporate world in which he lives. Even during its most
hideous scene, when a naked, chain-saw-toting Bateman goes on a screaming
rampage, AMERICAN PSYCHO manages to project a cold indifference that has
terrifying undertones. Harron's film is a frightening denunciation of a
consumer culture gone amuck with greed, materialism and a lack of nearly any
charity whatsoever. Released theatrically April 14, 2000 Filmed in New York City and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. To clean the movie up and acheive a relatively mild R-rating, the producers excised approximately eighteen seconds of footage from a menage-a-trois scene featuring an emotionally detached Patrick Bateman and two women (one of whom was co-writer Guinevere Turner). |

| American Wedding | Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, January Jones, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Seann William Scott, Eddie Kay Thomas, Fred Willard, Eugene Levy, Deborah Rush, Molly Cheek, Eric Allan Kramer | In this final chapter of the AMERICAN PIE teen comedy trilogy,
mishap magnet Jim (Jason Biggs) and former band geek Michelle (Alyson
Hannigan) have decided to tie the knot. Jim's friends Finch (Eddie Kaye
Thomas) and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) are on hand to help with
preparations, but the trio soon gets an unwanted fourth wheel in the form of
the eternally obnoxious Steve "Stifmeister" Stifler (Seann William
Scott). Meanwhile, Michelle's lovely younger sister, Cadence (January Jones),
arrives and quickly becomes the object of affection for both the scholarly
Finch and the loudmouthed Stifler. Who will win the heart of Cadence? And how
many things will go wrong before Jim and Michelle walk down the aisle? (Hint:
A lot.) By once again balancing the lewd and the crude with the touching, AMERICAN WEDDING continues the charmingly funny yet gross streak of the first two films. Anchored by creator/screenwriter Adam Herz's obvious love for the characters, the film begins with a hilarious proposal scene and keeps the antics coming. As with past films, Biggs and Scott are the instigators of most outrageous acts, but the movie also gives ample screen time to comedy veterans Eugene Levy (once again playing Jim's always-understanding father) and Fred Willard (who portrays Michelle's overprotective dad). A fitting finale to the series, AMERICAN WEDDING doesn't involve pie, but that doesn't mean something can't happen to the cake.... Theatrical Release: August 1, 2003 |

| America's Sweethearts | Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Cusak, Hank Azaria, Stanley Tucci, Christopher Walken, Seth Green | Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (John Cusack) are
AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS, two wildly popular celebrities who share their love on
and off the screen in this farcical romantic comedy. But a messy breakup
sends Eddie to a New Age Hollywood healing center and Gwen into the arms of
her current affair, a Spanish bohunk short on charm (Hank Azaria). When their
relationship troubles begin to threaten their superstar celebrity status and
the release of their final film together the studio heads call in legendary
press agent Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) to helm the troubled film's press
junket. Julia Roberts costars as Kiki, Gwen's personal assistant and sister
who has always lived to please her demanding diva sister. Once overweight and
severely self-conscious, Kiki's life revolves around her sister's ridiculous
demands in this send up of ego-driven movie star vanity, penned cleverly with
cynical insider wit by Crystal and Peter Tolan. Phillips manages to gather
the warring superstars and gaggles of press together at a remote desert
location for the all important press junket where his best laid plans begin
to unravel in this hysterical parody of the movie industry replete with
neurotic actors, eccentric crazed directors (Christopher Walken in a gem of a
cameo), maniacal studio heads, and gossip-starved press who will do anything
or anyone for the next big story. Theatrical Release: JULY 20, 2001 |

| Amistad | Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Djimon Hounsou, Matthew McConaughey, Nigel Hawthorne, David Paymer, Pete Postlethwaite, Stellan Skarsgard, Anna Paquin, Fofanah, Thomas Milian, Geno Silva, Ralph Brown, John Ortiz, Derrick N. Ashong | Based on actual events in 1838, AMISTAD is the story of captured
African slaves who took over their transport ship in a bloody revolt with the
hopes of returning back to their homeland. After the slaves are caught and
imprisoned, their leader, Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), unable to understand the
language or court system of America, tries to communicate his desire to
return home to his defense lawyer, Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey), and
former slave Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman). The men plead for help with
their groundbreaking court case from former president John Quincy Adams
(Anthony Hopkins). Steven Spielberg directed this moving film, using as a
reference the book by William A. Owens, BLACK MUTINY: THE REVOLT ON THE
SCHOONER AMISTAD. The Africans in the movie speak Mende, with subtitles
added. West African actor Djimon Hounsou had to learn to speak the language
for his role--and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Spielberg shot the film
at the State House in Providence, Rhode Island, the seaport in Mystic,
Connecticut, and other New England locations. Steven Spielberg directed this powerful film depicting the real-life events that followed the 1839 insurrection aboard the slave ship Amistad. Desperate prisoner Cinque (Djimon Hounsou) leads his fellow prisoners in a bloody revolt on the ship and demands to be returned to Africa. When the slaves are recaptured and imprisoned in New England, lawyer Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey) is hired to represent the Africans and their desire to return home. With the help of John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins), Cinque and Baldwin try their historical case in front of the Supreme Court. Theatrical release: December 4, 1997. The film was shot on location in Newport and Providence, Rhode Island; Boston, Massachusetts; Mystic, Connecticut; and San Juan, Puerto Rico |

| An Officer and a Gentleman | Richard Gere, Debra Winger, Louis Gossett Jr., David Kieth, Robert Loggia, Lisa Blount, Lisa Eilbacher | 1 | |
| Analyze This | Robert DeNiro, Billy Crystal, Lisa Kudrow, Joe Viterelli, Chazz Palminteri, Bill Macy Leo Rossi Rebecca Schull, Kyle Sabihy, Molly Shannon | What happens when the worlds of the Mafia and psychiatry
collide? This outrageous farce answers that question, as mob boss Paul Vitti
(Robert De Niro) and psychiatrist Ben Sobol (Billy Crystal) are forced to
work together. When a prominent leader of the New York Mafia suddenly starts
having panic attacks, he enlists the help of a New York psychiatrist for a
fast cure. The two men suddenly find themselves struggling to understand each
other's professional and private lives as they battle the FBI and the impending
threat of a Mafia takeover, not to mention an irritable fiancée (Lisa Kudrow)
eager to get married. Mob boss Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) is having heart attacks. At least that's what he thinks. When his doctors inform him that he is suffering from anxiety attacks, he is forced to track down a shrink to help him get to the bottom of the problem. Billy Crystal costars as neurotic psychiatrist Ben Sobol, who is manipulated into treating the macho Mafia man, with hysterical results. Just as Ben and eager fiancée (Lisa Kudrow) are about to enter nuptial bliss, they are suddenly faced with a 24-hour responsibility to a mobster who won't take no for an answer. The hilarious hijinks ruin their first wedding and threaten to ruin the relationship as Paul battles his personal demons with the help of the initially unwilling shrink. As the two men's professional and private worlds collide, they are forced to realize their similarities as they join forces to battle the FBI and the impending threat of a Mafia takeover. Director Harold Ramis has crafter an intelligent, witty comedy that shows off the comic instincts of De Niro as never before. |

| Anchorman | Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Kevin Corrigan, Chuck D, Chris Parnell, Stephen Root, David Koechner, Paul Rudd, Vince Vaughn, Maya Rudolph, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Tim Robbins, Fred Willard, Luke Wilson, Chad Everett, Jack Black, Dave Allen, Justin Long, Kathryn Hahn, Jay Johnston, Paul F Tompkins, Tara Subkoff, Danny Trejo, Seth Rogen | It's the early 1970s and the local anchorman is not only a
source of news but a revered local hero. In San Diego, Ron Burgundy (Will
Ferrell), a mustachioed bachelor with a taste for scotch, unparalleled
passion for the jazz flute, and a near-telepathic connection with his
spirited mutt, Baxter, is that man. Rounding out Ron's testosterone-heavy
news team are his close friends--cologne-obsessed man-on-the-street Brian
Fantana (Paul Rudd), sports reporter Champ Kind (Dave Koechner), and mentally
challenged weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell). Their male camaraderie
is challenged, though, when producer Ed Harken (Fred Willard), pressured by
changing times, brings the first female reporter, ambitious Veronica
Corningstone (Christina Applegate), to the team. Ron finds his chauvinistic
ideals compromised further when he starts falling in love with her. Fueled by Ferrell's singularly loopy persona, ANCHORMAN joins the long list of comedies which have successfully poked fun at the styles and mores of the '70s. Here, with Ferrell's script and Adam McKay's direction, the character of Ron Burgundy becomes a full-bodied comic creation whose possibilities for laughs aren't nearly exhausted by the end credits. The result is an often hilarious celebration of moustaches, wide neckties, alcohol abuse, and good, old-fashioned sexism. THEATRICAL RELEASE: JULY 9, 2004 |

| Andrew "Dice" Clay, One Night With Dice | Andrew Dice Clay, | D | |
| Angel Eyes | Jennifer Lopez, Jim Caviezel, Sonia Braga, Terrence Howard, Jeremy Sisto, Victor Argo, Shirley Knight, Monet Mazur | Jennifer Lopez stars as tough Chicago cop Sharon Pogue in Luis Mandoki's ANGEL EYES. Sharon gives no quarter to the criminals on her beat. She's all too ready to beat up any lowlife who treats her disrespectfully. Sharon grew up in an abusive household, and this is the root of her anger. Catch (Jim Caviezel) has his own trauma to deal with. He's a drifter, seemingly connected to nothing and no one. But he suddenly becomes focused one day when he spots Sharon at a coffee shop. When she rushes headlong into a potentially fatal situation, he's there to save her. This odd, quiet, mysterious man intrigues her, and they begin to take tentative steps toward a relationship. Sharon discovers that Catch is dealing with a tragic past, and in his efforts to escape his pain, he's lost everything--even his identity. ANGEL EYES is a sensitive, intelligent, and touching romantic drama about two people struggling to connect despite tremendous odds. The film is surprising in small ways, in its telling details, its gentle humor, and in the subtly effective performances of its stars--Lopez, Caviezel, and especially Sonia Braga, in an uncharacteristically fragile performance as Sharon's abused mother. | 1 |
| Anger Management | Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei, Luis Guzman, Woody Harrelson, John Turturro, Allen Covert, Kevin Nealon, Lunne Thigpen, Krista Allen, January Jones, Jonathan Loughran, Kurt Fuller | ANGER MANAGEMENT, directed by Peter Segal, looks into the life
of Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler), an executive assistant at a pet clothing
company. The mild-mannered but overly passive Dave is in love with his
girlfriend, Linda (Marisa Tomei), yet his anxious personality keeps him from
taking things further, both in their relationship and in his career. However,
Dave's life takes a strange turn when he is wrongly accused of "air
rage" on a flight and sentenced to mandatory anger management classes.
Eccentric anger guru Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson) becomes Dave's therapist,
but when Buddy abruptly moves in with Dave, the doctor-patient relationship
takes an unusual turn. An appropriate pairing of actors with oversized personalities, ANGER MANAGEMENT allows Nicholson to run amuck, while letting Sandler hone the mellower side of his cinematic presence. As Sandler's Dave becomes more bewildered at his predicament, Nicholson's Buddy teeters wildly between wise and rambunctious. Meanwhile, Tomei (who apparently gets more attractive as she gets older) shines in her role as Dave's beloved. Of course, no mainstream Sandler movie would be complete without a number of familiar faces in supporting and cameo roles, and ANGER has them by the boatload. John Turturro steals every scene he's in; Luiz Guzman sports some remarkably unfortunate facial hair; Heather Graham shows up as a brownie-hurling blonde bombshell; and John C. Reilly appears as a bully-turned-Buddhist-monk. And to top it all off, there are cameos by renowned "angry" sports figures Bobby Knight and John McEnroe, as well as the esteemed former mayor of NYC, Rudy Giuliani. Theatrical Release: APRIL 11, 2003 |

| Animal Instincts (the seductress) | Wendy Schumacher, James Matthew, Marcus Grahm, John Bates, Anthony Lesa | ||
| Anna and the King | Jodie Foster, Chow Yun-Fat, Bai Ling, Tom Felton, Randall Duk Kim, Keith Chin, Syed Alwi | Based on the diary writings of English widow Anna Leonowens, who journeyed to Siam in 1862 to tutor the children of King Mongkut, this is a grand, epic motion picture that recalls the Hollywood days of yore (see 1946's ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM and 1956's THE KING AND I for earlier screen adaptations). Chow Yun Fat delivers a heartwarming performance that should finally earn him star status in America, and Jodie Foster is, as always, a magnetic screen presence. Their relationship, which is sparked by a just-beneath-the-surface romantic undercurrent, propels the story forward and provides it with its emotional core. As the film builds to its exciting climax, the relationship between the two is tested even further. | |
| Annapolis | James Franco, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Donnie Wahlberg, Chi McBride, Vicellous Shannon, Roger Fan | Working-class tough guy Jake Huard (James Franco) gets a chance
to make good when he's accepted into the famed Annapolis Naval Academy, but
his buddies and dad back at the shipyard doubt he'll last a month. The film
moves through his first year at the academy, culminating in the big boxing
tournament, which is Huard's chance to get revenge against his
stoic-beyond-the-call-of-duty senior officer, Cole (Tyrese Gibson). First,
though, the closed-off Huard must learn to ask for help, which arrives via a
warmly attractive senior officer played by Jordanna Brewster (THE FAST AND
THE FURIOUS). ANNAPOLIS's director, Justin Lin (BETTER LUCK TOMORROW) brings
an unpretentious visual approach to this film; he lets the story flow
straight as an arrow, sweeping viewers up into the daunting rigors and the
developing camaraderie of this challenging environment. A muscular orchestral
score by Brian Tyler pushes everything along with maximum heart and impact,
and the rich cinematography creates an invigorating sense of you-are-there
closeness which, by the time the story gets to the climactic fight, is
breathlessly intense. The standout performance is Gibson's--so composed and
elegantly tough, he's like a coiled spring. Brewster is also good, lending a
welcome contrast of feminine warmth to the sometimes cold world of military
discipline. As an inspiring tale of rising up and beating your limitations,
ANNAPOLIS makes the grade. Theatrical Release: January 27, 2006 |

| Antwone Fisher | Denzel Washington, Derek Luke, Joe Bryant, Salli Richardson | The true story of ANTWONE FISHER tracks a remarkable young man
on the path to recovery from physical and sexual abuse. Antwone Fisher (Derek
Luke) is a young Navy sailor who is on verge of getting booted from the
military because of his volatile temper when he is ordered to mandatory
sessions with psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport (Denzel Washington). After a
few strained sessions, Fisher navigates through difficult memories of his
Cleveland childhood, mostly of life with a vicious foster mother (Novella
Nelson) who beats him on a regular basis (and refers to him not by name, but
by the n-word) and a foster sister who violates him sexually. Fisher and
Davenport form a father-son bond (Fisher even adopts the doctor's wife [Salli
Richardson] as a kind of surrogate Mom). And eventually he finds the strength
to work through his anger and the courage to forge his first romantic
relationship with Cheryl (Joy Bryant). Writer Antwone Fisher, making his screenplay debut, achieves an encouraging view of human nature with this story, and first-time director Washington molds it into a film that ranks with GOOD WILL HUNTING and ORDINARY PEOPLE. Washington demonstrates his ease with actors by drumming up rich emotional intimacy, not without naturally humorous and awkward moments. Vivid, painterly images and the yearning melodies of composer Mychael Danna complete the artistry of the film. Theatrical Release Date: December 19, 2002 |

| Any Given Sunday | Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, James Woods, Matthew Modine, Ann-Margret, Edward Burns, Bill Bellamy, Elizabeth Berkley, James Caviezel, Aaron Eckhart, Charlton Heston, Lauren Holly, John C. McGinley, Lela Rochon, Lawrence Taylor, Clifton Davis, James Karen, Jim Brown, Oliver Stone, Jaime Bergman | Oliver Stone's hard-hitting look at the adrenaline-fueled world
of pro football stars Al Pacino as Miama Sharks coach Tony D'Amato. Having
just lost his star quarterback, Jack Rooney (Dennis Quaid), he's forced to
use the erratic Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx) off the bench, hoping he can
resuscitate his team, which is floundering on the field and in attendance
figures. If not, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), the team's new owner,
may be drop-kicking him to a new destination. Oliver Stone delves into his love-hate relationship with pro football in this high-impact film, thriving on the game's adrenaline rush while revealing its ultimate corruption. When legendary Miami Sharks quarterback Cap Rooney (Dennis Quaid) is badly injured in a game, coach Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) is forced to reach deep into his bench for Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx). The third-stringer's injury-plagued career and difficulty with maintaining focus make him a dubious commodity at best. But Beamen, aware of what this opportunity could mean, starts playing at a much higher level than ever before, planting championship hopes in the minds of Miami fans. The extraordinary success of Beamen, an athlete whose flamboyance contradicts everything the Lombardi-like D'Amato believes about the game, makes the coach wonder whether his time is passing. To add to his problems, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), a young woman who has inherited ownership of the team from her late father, is pressuring him to win now, and at any cost. Will D'Amato be able to pull the team together for a final run at the championship? The film conveys a vivid sense of the atmosphere of pro football and features a finely modulated performance by Pacino. Theatrical release: December 22, 1999. |

| Apocalypse Now | Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall Martin Sheen, Frederic Forrest, Albert Hall, Sam Bottoms, Laurence Fishburne, Christian Marquand, Aurore Clement, Harrison Ford, Dennis Hopper | Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic, loosely based on the novel HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad, tells the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a special agent sent into Cambodia to assassinate an errant American colonel (Marlon Brando). Willard is assigned to a navy patrol boat operated by Chief (Albert Hall) and three hapless soldiers (Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, and Larry Fishburne). They are escorted on part of their journey by an air cavalry unit led by Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a gung-ho commander with a love of Wagner, surfing, and napalm. After witnessing a surreal USO show featuring Playboy playmates, and an anarchic battle with the Viet Cong at a bridge, Willard reaches Colonel Kurtz's compound. A crazed photojournalist and Kurtz groupie (Dennis Hopper) welcomes the crew, and Willard begins to question his orders to "terminate the colonel's command." The grueling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features skilled performances and beautifully chaotic visuals that make it a powerful, unforgettable work. | D |
| Apocalypto | Dalia Hernandez, Mayra Serbulo, Gerardo Taracena, Raoul Trujillo | Mel Gibson (BRAVEHEART, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST) tackles the
downfall of Mayan civilization in his latest turn as writer/director. Jaguar
Paw (Rudy Youngblood) and his fellow villagers lead a peaceful life in the
forest until a savage, unprovoked attack turns their world upside down. After
hiding his pregnant wife and young son from the invaders, Jaguar Paw joins in
the fight, only to be taken prisoner with the rest of the survivors.
Uncertain of what the future holds and taken from his home to a thriving
metropolis that might as well be a foreign country, Jaguar Paw has just one
goal--to return to his wife and child. Jaguar Paw's journey is a
coming-of-age saga running the gamut of love, loss, courage, and
redemption. Filmed in Mexico with a cast of indigenous Americans speaking in the Yucatec dialect, this is a tale filled with contrasts. Muted greens and browns define the forest village while the city is awash in bright colors. The wealthy live in opulence, sporting elaborate jewelry, clothing, and hairdos while the villagers wear twig and bone ornaments. The villagers respect both life and nature, but the rulers of the great stone city condone violence in an effort to appease their gods. Gibson's point is clear: the more "advanced" society is corrupt and unrepentant, while the more primitive Mayans have far greater faith and humanity. Gibson also drives home the recurring theme of rebirth with symbolism, including rain, pregnancy, and the arrival of Christianity. Beautifully filmed by Dean Semler and scored by James Horner, APOCALYPTO could benefit from some framing at its beginning to give the viewer a sense of time and place, but otherwise offers a rare glimpse into a lost world. Theatrical Release: December 8, 2006 |

| Apollo 13 | Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, Kathleen Quinlan, Clint Howard, Chris Ellis | A vividly rendered dramatization of Apollo 13's true-life brush
with disaster on the way to the Moon in 1971. This mesmerizing film combines
computer graphics, archive footage and seamless special effects to recreate
the adrenalized odyssey of Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert
who battled astronomical odds to make it back to Earth. Academy Award
Nominations: 9, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor--Ed Harris, and
Best Supporting Actress--Kathleen Quinlan. Academy Awards: 2, including Best
Film Editing. The true story of the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission. On April 11, 1970, gung-ho astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and last-minute, less experienced replacement Jack Swigert blast-off towards the moon. But while in space, an oxygen tank explodes, putting the trio in peril: they quickly lose oxygen, run out of power, and get exposed to dangerously high amounts of carbon dioxide. Unbeknownst to them, there are more problems to come, including emotional friction when Jack is (wrongly) blamed for the explosion. Intensifying the situation is the fact that these mishaps catch the scientists and technicians at Mission Control by surprise, and they're not sure how to remedy the situation. Everyone must work together to come up with the right answer -- if the astronauts are to survive... |

| Are We There Yet | Ice Cube, Nia Long, Aleisha Allen, Philip Bolden, Jay Mohr, C. Ernst Harth, Tracy Morgan, Henry Simmons, Sean Millington, Viv Leacock, Jerry Hardin, M.C. Gainey, Nichelle Nichols, Alistair Abell, Nancy Robertson | Ice Cube stars in this highly entertaining family comedy as Nick
Persons, a thirtysomething player with a new Lincoln Navigator, who checks
out every fine lady that passes by the window of the sports collectibles
store where he works with pal Marty (Jay Mohr). Decked out in all the latest
bling, Nick confidently approaches his latest attraction, Suzanne, only to
learn that she is a recent divorcee with two kids. Little does he know,
Suzanne's children are no ordinary kids. Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and
Philip Bolden) go to extremes to keep their mom single. Putting his dislike
for children on the back burner, Nick decides to pursue Suzanne anyway. He
soon realizes though, that the only way to a single mother's heart is through
her children. So when Suzanne needs a babysitter to transport her kids from
Portland to Vancouver, Nick jumps at the chance. Getting way more than he
bargained for, Nick must survive 24 hours with two kids bent on destroying
him, not to mention missed flights, missed trains, run-ins with wildlife and
crazed truckers, and severe car trouble. Nick challenges himself to survive
the journey better than his SUV, and learns that while trying to prove
himself to Suzanne, he also impresses himself. Demonstrating his softer side, rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube (FRIDAY, BARBERSHOP) shows a flair for slapstick humor in this pleasing family picture. While humorous moments abound, ARE WE THERE YET? also tackles some serious issues. Director Brian Levant (SNOW DOGS, JINGLE ALL THE WAY) adds to his resume another fun-filled film that will have the whole family laughing. THEATRICAL RELEASE: JANUARY 21, 2005 |

| Armageddon | Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Will Patton, Peter Stormare, Keith David, Steve Buscemi, Michael Clarke Duncan, William Fichtner, Owen Wilson, Charles Stewart, Andrew Heckler, Anthony Guidera, Bodhi Elfman, Clark Brolly, Eddie Griffin, Ellen Cleghorne, Frederick Weller, Grace Zabriskie, Grayson McCouch, Greg Collins, Jason Isaacs, Jessica Steen, Ken Campbell, Lawrence Tierney, Marshall Teague, Udo Kier, Erik Per Sullivan, Mark Boone Junior, Peter White | Michael Bay, the master of the big-budget blockbuster, directs
this action film that is packed with emotion. With a planet-killing asteroid
on a collision course with Earth, it's up to a motley crew of scientists and
oil drillers (yes, oil drillers) to save the earth. With 18 days to impact, a
team from NASA (led by Billy Bob Thornton) frantically tries to find a
solution but ends up turning to an outside contractor. Harry Stamper (Bruce
Willis) and his team of oilmen are called upon to save the planet as only
they can. ARMAGEDDON may boast impressive special effects, but it's the
cast--including Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, and Owen Wilson--that
gives the film its humor and heart. Tyler's father Steven Tyler and his band
Aerosmith contributed the Oscar-nominated hit "I Don't Want to Miss a
Thing" to the soundtrack. Grossing more than 200 million dollars domestically during its initial box office run in 1998, Bay's loud, fast spectacle is a love-it or hate-it archetype of the big budget studio action film at the century's end. Made with lots of money ($140 million!), a strong cast and tons of special effects, ARMAGEDDON tells the tale of a team of oilmen called in by the president to land on a Texas-sized asteroid approaching Earth and blast it into pieces before it ends life as we know it. Huge plot holes, some of the quickest cutting seen in film, and occasionally unconvincing special effects will not deter those who approach it seeking two and a half hours of full-throttle, flag waving cinematic rush. |

| As Good As It Gets | Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear, Cuba Gooding Jr., Skeet Ulrich, Shirley Knight | Acerbic and outwardly despicable pulp novelist Melvin Udall
lives in a haze of obsessive-compulsive behavior patterns, avoiding cracks in
the sidewalk and rigidly adhering to his regimen of daily breakfasts in the
cafe where harried single mom Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) is the only
waitress he'll accept. But his ordered, hermetic world falls apart when his
neighbor, a gay painter, needs a babysitter for his cherished dog--and only
his long-time nemesis Melvin will do. Then, when the waitress's son's serious
illness keeps her from work, Melvin realizes how much he needs her after
all. |

| Assault On Precinct 13 (2005) | Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, Maria Bello, John Leguizamo, Drea de Matteo, Gabriel Byrne, Brian Dennehy, Ja Rule, Aisha Hinds, Currie Graham, Matt Craven, Dorian Harewood, Jeffrey Atkins, Titus Welliver | In 1976, John Carpenter paid homage to Howard Hawks' superlative
western RIO BRAVO with his second full-length feature film, ASSAULT ON
PRECINCT 13. Now it's Carpenter's turn to experience some cinematic
adulation, with this remake of the film from director Jean-François Richet.
Set in Detroit, Richet's film focuses on police Sergeant Jake Roenick, whose
failed career as an undercover cop has lead to a New Years Eve stint in
charge of the dilapidated Precinct 13. As a snowstorm rattles the windows and
doors of the rundown station, Roenick exchanges some festive banter with
police psychologist Alex Sabian (Maria Bello); curvaceous secretary Iris
Ferry (Drea de Matteo); and retiring veteran Jasper O'Shea (Brian Dennehy).
But their merriment is interrupted when a diverted prison bus escapes the
ravages of the storm, seeking a temporary haven for its peccant passengers in
Precinct 13. Criminal mastermind Marion Bishop (Laurence Fisburne) is on
board, along with a junkie, Beck (John Leguizamo), and two young felons,
Smiley (Ja Rule) and Anna (Aisha Hinds). Hot on their tail comes police
detective Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne), a crooked cop who wants Bishop dead
before he testifies against Duvall in court. Bringing a formidable army of
fellow corrupt officers with him, Duvall puts the police station under siege
in order to snag his man before it's too late. But he doesn't bank on the
impressive wiles of Roenick and his rag-tag mixture of cops and criminals,
who unite in an attempt to defend themselves from an execrable ending at the
hands of Duvall and his men. A highly entertaining action romp ensues, with
director Richet delivering a fast-paced thriller laced with violence and
surprising plot twists, ensuring viewers are kept on their toes right up until
the film's blood-soaked finale. THEATRICAL RELEASE: JANUARY 21, 2005 |

| August Rush | Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, Robin Williams, William Sadler | AUGUST RUSH is part romance, part gentle fantasy, but this sweet
drama is all heart. When young cellist Lyla (Keri Russell) and rock musician
Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) meet at a party in the mid 1990s, it's love at
first sight, and they spend the night in each other's arms. But Lyla's father
forces them apart, even though she later learns she's pregnant. Later, an
accident lands Lyla in the hospital, and though her father tells her that her
baby died, the child survives and is given up for adoption. AUGUST RUSH jumps
to the present and begins to follow Evan (Freddie Highmore), an 11 year old
who has grown up in a boys' home. As Evan embarks on a crusade to find his
parents, he imagines he can communicate with them through his gift for music.
His journey to New York City brings him into contact with Wizard (Robin
Williams), a man eager to capitalize on the child prodigy's talent. Wizard
gives Evan the name August Rush as he begins performing all over the city,
but the boy's ultimate goal is to find the parents he has never met. From FINDING NEVERLAND to CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, Highmore has displayed an almost prodigious talent himself. He's a gifted young actor, and this emotional story is the perfect venue for his acting. AUGUST RUSH isn't a film for the cynics, but even the hard-hearted in the audience will have difficulty not being touched by this sentimental film. As in Evan's life, music plays a central role in AUGUST RUSH, and it's tough not to let your heart soar along with the melodies. Though it could draw comparisons to OLIVER! and ANNIE, this is a unique and heartwarming film. Theatrical Release: November 21 2007 |

| Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery | Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, Mimi Rogers, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Charles Napier, Will Ferrell, Afifi Alaouire, Mark Bringleson, Clint Howard, Elya Baskin, Monet Mazur, Mindy Sterling, Paul Dillon, Joann Richter, Anatasia Nicole Sakelaris, Fabiana Udenio | AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY is the first in the
comic series starring this bodacious 1960s spy played by the hilarious Mike
Myers. Decked out in the gaudiest mod attire--ruffled shirts, tight-fitting
candy-colored suits, horn-rimmed glasses, and prosthetic teeth--Austin Powers
is anything but subtle. His near-constant exclamations of "Groovy,
Baby," accompanied an uncandid flash of his flirtatious smile, only add
to his wonderfully exaggerated hipster persona. Plotwise, Austin Powers and
his enemy Dr. Evil (also played by Myers) awake from 30 years of frozen,
cryogenic sleep to find themselves in the year 1997. A conniving Dr. Evil
plots a reign of terror and mass destruction, but finds that his ideas and
methods are a bit out of date. Our hero encounters a similar dilemma,
realizing that he is definitely behind the times. A series of well-meaning
though bumbling efforts to thwart the insidious Dr. Evil keep Austin Powers
and his devastatingly beautiful partner Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley)
hard at work as they travel from London to Las Vegas. With this
tongue-in-cheek send-up of James Bond spy films and 1960s cliches, director
Jay Roach compliments Myers' over-the-top performance with a lighthearted
soundtrack, fun photography, and amusingly retro sets. Theatrical release date: May 2, 1997. |

| Austin Powers Goldmember | Mike Myers, Beyonce Knowles, Michael Caine, Seth Green, Michael York, Robert Wagner, Mindy Sterling, Verne Troyer | AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER, the third movie in the Austin
Powers series, stars Mike Myers in director Jay Roach's James Bond, Sci-Fi,
1970s, funkadelic formula--a hyper-stylized backdrop to what is ultimately
Myers' one-man show. GOLDMEMBER is a family affair. Austin has a few unresolved issues with his dear old dad, Nigel Powers (the dead ringer Michael Caine, who is also a good sport), and he hopes to work out some Freudian tension when he's not saving the world from the forces of evil. Myers flexes his actor muscles and portrays a more thoughtful, and--is it even possible--a slightly less geeky Austin in this film. Likewise, even the bad guys show some new personality: Dr. Evil reveals a penchant for talking like a hip-hop, wise-ass homeboy, and the new villain Goldmember (the latest in Myers' repertoire) is an enigmatic amputee with a heart of gold who speaks with a Dutch accent and eats his own peeling skin. If that's not disgusting enough, Fat Bastard, the greasy behemoth from the THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, appears again in GOLDMEMBER, delving into new and nasty scatological territory. But the joke's on us, because GOLDMEMBER's toilet humor is so extreme that it dissolves into a harmless fit of giggles, keeping viewers laughing from start to finish. Theatrical release date: July 26, 2002. |

| Autumn In New York | Richard Gere, Winona Ryder, Anthony Lapaglia, Elaine Stritch, Vera Farmiga, Sherry Stringfield, Jamie Harrold, Sam Trammell | Following in a long tradition of Hollywood May-December
romances, AUTUMN IN NEW YORK is the story of a pair who finds love when each
least expects it. Will Keane (Richard Gere) is a successful restaurant owner
and bachelor playboy with more "girlfriends" than he knows what to
do with but no serious relationships. He meets Charlotte (Winona Ryder), the
daughter of an old flame, and is immediately interested in her. The two
develop a casual love affair, but Charlotte has a hidden secret: a terminal
heart condition. As the unlikely pair continues the relationship, they grow
closer than either could have imagined, proving that love is rarely
convenient or easy. While struggling with his feelings toward Charlotte, Will
also has to deal with a mystery woman (Vera Farmiga) who holds a secret from
his past, and his own sense of mortality as he gets older. AUTUMN IN NEW YORK
is an old-fashioned melodramatic love story that makes up for its familiar
plot with glossy movie-star performances from Gere and Ryder, plus lush
cinematography and elegant direction from actress-turned-director Joan Chen,
whose touch makes New York City romantic in a unique and understated
way. Joan Chen directed this sad story of a New York City romance cut short. An older man who is a known playboy picks up a younger woman, and the two fall in love. However, when she reveals that she is suffering from a terminal illness, the relationship takes on deeper meaning. THEATRICAL RELEASE: AUGUST 11, 2000 |

| AVP - Alien VS. Predator | Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova, Ewen Bremner, Colin Salmon, Tommy Flanagan, Agathe De La Boulaye, Carsten Norgaard, Joseph Rye, Sam Troughton, Tom Woodruff Jr | The two most terrifying forces in the universe are about to
fight to the death ... and earth is their battleground! A mysterious structure has been detected via satellite far below the ice at the bottom of the world. Assembled by a billionaire industrialist, a crack team of scientists, drillers, archaeologists and adventurers has traveled to the Antarctic wastes to make history by exploring what is believed to be a fully preserved pyramid predating those built by early Egyptian and Mexican civilizations. But once this expedition crew enters, there will be no way out -- and no hope left for humankind. Because deep within the labyrinth, a terror is stirring -- an alien monstrosity more vicious, cunning, evil, and unstoppable than any species in the universe -- except one: the otherworldly Predators who brought the nightmare to Earth to begin with and who are now returning here to face the beast once more in the most unholy combat. The battle is about to begin -- and to the victor will go the planet |

to marry his upper-class girlfriend, whose parents disapprove of him. When
his friends decide to throw a wild and crazy bachelor party, all hell breaks
loose. BACHELOR PARTY features a cocaine-snorting mule, Japanese businessmen,
and a lot of hearty partying. Rick and Debbie are all set to get married, so Rick's friends decide to throw him a bachelor party. Rick isn't terribly crazy about the idea, but reluctantly agrees to play along. Debbie's father, however, is not very fond of his daughter's choice for a husband and decides that this is a great opportunity to send Debbie's old boyfriend, Cole, to persuade Rick to give her up. Offering his Porche in exchange for the bride, Cole shows up at the party only to get hung out of the window by Rick's buddies. In the meantime, Debbie becomes worried about what Rick might do at the rowdy celebration, and decides to crash the party. But when Debbie, disguised as a hooker, enters the hotel room where the guys are having their blast, all hell breaks loose |

| Back to the Future I, II, & III | Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson | Robert Zemeckis scored a huge hit with 1985's BACK TO THE FUTURE, a film that became a genuine 1980s classic and began a successful trilogy. Taking the teen comedy a place it had never been before, on a trip to the 1950s via the 1980s, and fusing it with a time travel adventure, the film quickly became a blockbuster and established itself as a high point of 1980s pop culture. This special boxed set contains all three of Marty McFly's and Doc Brown's adventures traveling back and forth between the 1950s, the 1980s, and the 19th and 21st centuries in Doc's customized DeLorean. See individual titles for details | |
| Backdraft | Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rebecca DeMornay, Donald Sutherland, Robert DeNiro | Two feuding brothers carry on a heroic family tradition in the Chicago Fire Department. Before the smoke clears, love affairs are rekindled and lives are shattered as the brothers fight to resolve their differences and solve a puzzling series of arson attacks, each ignited by explosive phenomena known as backdrafts. | 1 |
| Bad Boys | Martin Lawrence, Will Smith, Tea Leoni, Tcheky Karyo, Joe Pantoliano, Lisa Boyle | Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a happily married family man. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is a smooth-talking bachelor. Both are cops in the narcotics division of the Miami police department. When $100 million dollars worth of seized heroin is stolen from their police station, the mismatched duo are forced to switch identities to placate the only witness (Tea Leoni) who can lead them to the drug lord responsible and save their jobs before the FBI closes them down. This explosion-heavy, chase-filled, gun-smoking action comedy is directed by Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR) and features comedic odd-couple-style bantering between the aptly paired Smith and Lawrence. | |
| Bad Boys II | Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jordi Molla, Gabrielle Union, Peter Stormare, Theresa Randle, Joe Pantoliano, Henry Rollins, Gary Nickens, John Salley, Jon Seda, Yul Vazquez, Jason Manuel Olazabal, Reynaldo Gallegos, Oleg Taktarov, Tim Powell, Otto Sanchez, Treva Etienne, Dave Corey, Kiko Ellsworth | Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith)
return as partners on the Miami Tactical Narcotics Team in director Michael
Bay's (PEARL HARBOR, ARMAGEDDON) sequel to the 1995 blockbuster BAD BOYS. Car
chases and shoot outs are daily occurrences as the two try to track down a
big time Ecstasy dealer. The trail leads to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Mollá) a
Cuban immigrant who runs the biggest drug cartel on the East Coast. The
stakes are raised when Marcus discovers that his sister, Syd (Gabrielle Union),
an agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency, is working undercover trying to
bust Tapia as well. And to further complicate matters, Syd and Mike have
become involved romantically and are keeping it a secret from Marcus.
Jam-packed with massive explosions, wild chase scenes, and flying bullets,
this wild ride is filled with action and violence. Smith is charming as the
quick-tempered, fast-talking Mike, and Lawrence is his ideal counterpart as
the stressed-out Marcus, who resorts to therapy tricks to keep calm. Joe
Pantoliano reprises his role as Captain Howard, who is continually
traumatized by the trail of wrecked cars and damage his boys leave behind
after a chase. Theatrical Release: JULY 18, 2003 |

| Bad Girls | Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie McDowell, Drew Barrymore, Andie MacDowell, James Russo, Robert Loggia, Dermot Mulroney | In 1994's BAD GIRLS, a gang of beautiful women sling sixshooters as they ride the dusty range. The film stars Mary Stuart Masterson, Drew Barrymore, Madeleine Stow, and Andy McDowell. | |
| Badder Santa | Billy Bob Thornton, Lauren Graham, John Ritter, Bernie Mac, Brett Kelly, Lauren Tom, Cloris Leachman, Tony Cox, Ajay Naidu, Lorna Scott, Alex Bornstein, Harrison Bieker | Billy Bob Thornton is terrific as Willie T. Stokes, a lowlife
department-store Santa in Terry Zwigoff's outrageous comedic follow-up to his
offbeat hit GHOST WORLD. Every year, Stokes takes a job as Santa in a
different place in order to rob the store he's working in. The diminutive
Tony Cox plays his horny sidekick, Marcus, the real mastermind, who is even
more foulmouthed than Stokes. Brett Kelly is Thurman Merman, an
eight-year-old who desperately needs to believe in the real Santa Claus--and
just might have a good enough heart to change Stokes's evil ways. Or maybe
not. And Lauren Graham plays Sue, a young sexpot who wants to get a different
kind of gift from Santa. Providing excellent comic relief in this black
comedy is John Ritter, in his last film role, as the mousy mall manager, and
Bernie Mac as Gin, the mall security guard who suspects something is not
right. Be warned--BAD SANTA is not a family holiday movie. It is lewd, crude,
and very funny, but it is most definitely not for children. Joel and Ethan
Coen, the brothers behind such quirky hits as RAISING ARIZONA and BARTON
FINK, are the executive producers who came up with the idea in the first
place, influenced by the likes of THE BAD NEWS BEARS and SOUTH PARK. Theatrical Release: November 26, 2003 |

| Barb Wire | Pamela Anderson, Temuera Morrison, Victoria Rowell, Xander Berkeley, Jack Noseworthy, Udo Kier, Andre Brown, Clint Howard, Steve Railsback, Jennifer Banko, Tony Bill | Pamela Anderson Lee mounts the title role in this tale of a
futuristic bar owner who accepts mercenary jobs on the side in the only
non-dictator-controlled city in the nation. She's always available to the
highest bidder until an old flame comes along and re-ignites her faith in
mankind. This high-tech thriller, based on a popular underground comic book,
is available in rated and unrated versions. Based on the Dark Horse comic book, "Barb Wire" takes place in the town of Steel Harbor during the year 2017, after the second Civil War. Steel Harbor is one of the few cities still free from the grip of either government troops or rebel fighters. It is also home to blonde bombshell Barb Wire, a leather-clad, pistol packin', cycle-ridin' bounty hunter, who ALWAYS gets her man. Barb becomes enmeshed in a "Casablanca"-esque plot, involving resistance fighters, wicked federal agents, and a very special pair of contact lenses that allow the user to avoid detection by the feds. In between shootouts, explosions and chases, Barb becomes the owner of the coveted lenses. Will she use them to help the rebels? Or sell them to pay for her blind brother's operation? Released theatrically in the USA May 3, 1996 |

| Basic | John Travolta, Connie Nielsen, Samuel L. Jackson, Giovanni Ribisi, Brian Van Holt, Taye Diggs, Cristian De La Fuente, Dash Mihok, Tim Daly, Roselyn Sanchez, Harry Connick Jr. | John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson team up in BASIC, an
action-packed military thriller from director John McTiernan (DIE HARD).
Jackson plays Sergeant Nathan West, propagator of a harsh military training
program that appears to have pushed a group of young recruits too far, when
an exercise winds up with them attempting to kill each other. Only two
soldiers emerge alive from the slaughter, and Jackson isn't among them. Rogue
DEA agent Tom Hardy (Travolta) is called in to question the survivors, teaming
up with Lieutenant Julia Osbourne (Connie Nielsen), in an attempt to solve
the puzzle. The two remaining soldiers (played by Giovanni Ribisi and Brian Van Holt) tell their conflicting tales, with director McTiernan utilizing flashbacks to illustrate what may have happened in the Panama jungle. It quickly transpires that Jackson and Travolta's characters are old army acquaintances, both with a penchant for unorthodox techniques; and when it transpires that corrupt doctor Bill Styles (Harry Connick Jr.) has been selling the recruits illegal drugs, it also appears he has a romantic history with Nielsen's character. The subsequent plot twists come thick and fast, resulting in a white-knuckle ride to the finale, in which nothing can be taken for granted. |

| Body Of Lies | Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Mark Strong, Goldshifteh Faharani, Oscar Isaac, Simon McBurney | Leonardo DiCaprio fights terrorists for the CIA in this rapid-fire thriller from director Ridley Scott (GLADIATOR, BLACK HAWK DOWN). While Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) gets his hands dirty on the teeming Arab streets, his handler Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) watches from Washington via spy satellite, cheerfully giving bull-in-a-china-shop style orders while picking up his kids from school. Innocent lives are lost, buildings blow up, and the threat of winding up beheaded on the internet is always one move away. LIES is decked out from front to back with fascinating bits of Arabic and espionage minutiae as it races along its wild mission to track down an elusive terrorist sect leader. Crowe has fun in his portly Southern-accented INSIDER mode, while DiCaprio does his usual anguished moral suffering over the fate of individuals (To Crowe's Hoffman, it's all just part of war and nobody's innocent). As the suave head of Jordanian intelligence, Mark Strong gives a scene-stealing, cobra-like performance that clashes beautifully with Crowe's "ugly American" bullying. The beautiful Golshifteh Farahani plays the obligatory love interest, the nurse who treats Ferris's regularly occurring battle and torture wounds. When most action heroes are completely healed within minutes of every fight, it's refreshing--in a grisly sort of way--to see how Ferris's wounds bruises pile up. The solid, punchy script is by William Monahan (THE DEPARTED) from the David Ignatius novel | |

| Bride Wars | Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Kristen Johnston, Bryan Greenberg, Candice Bergen | Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway go veiled head to veiled head in
this bridal comedy. Childhood friends Liv (Hudson) and Anne (Hathaway) have
dreamed of June weddings at the Plaza since they were kids, and now their
fantasy is finally within reach. Both young women have gotten proposals, and
they've booked their dates at the famed Manhattan landmark. But a mistake in
the office of their wedding planner, Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen),
causes their weddings to be scheduled on the same day, and neither woman will
budge. Harsh words escalate into sabotage, and each woman craftily plots the
demise of the other's wedding until events reach a screeching, squealing
pitch on a sunny June day. With roles in films such as HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS and MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL, Hudson has perfected starring in light comedies. In BRIDE WARS, she doesn't take her usual romantic route, and she displays good chemistry with the always fine Hathaway. The romances between the brides and their respective grooms (EVERWOOD's Chris Pratt and REBA's Steve Howey) aren't the point; instead, it's the creative one-upmanship that Liv and Emma engage in to the detriment of their lifelong friendship. For those who mark pages in bridal magazines, BRIDE WARS may provide escapist fare a la BRIDEZILLAS or the romantic comedy 27 DRESSES. They'll just have to cross their ringed fingers that their weddings go off better than the prank-filled events of Liv and Emma |

| Charlie Wilson's War | Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ned Beatty, Emily Blunt, Shiri Appleby, Om Puri, Ken Stott, Denis O'Hare, Rachel Nichols | The first time the audience sees Texas congressman Charlie
Wilson (Tom Hanks) in the early 1980s, he seems far from a model politician.
Surrounded by strippers, a Playboy Playmate, and cocaine, the naked
congressman lies in a hot tub at a party. Despite the distractions, the TV
news catches Charlie's attention as Dan Rather reports from a war-torn
Afghanistan. As Soviets invade the country, the Afghans lack the money and
technology to defend themselves. Enter Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), a
wealthy Texan who champions the cause of Afghanistan and, by extension in the
Cold War, America. Together with CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour
Hoffman), Charlie begins a secret war where he must unite Israel, Pakistan,
Egypt, and America to defeat the Soviets. Just as director Mike Nichols brought a sense of fun to what should have been dour proceedings in films such as THE GRADUATE and CLOSER, this comedy about the largest covert war to date never feels like a history lesson. Writer Aaron Sorkin's dialogue is as sharp as fans have come to expect, and it's delivered with impressive verve from the film's trio of Oscar winners. Hoffman is famous for transforming into various characters, and he's remarkable, but it's Hanks's turn that's the most surprising. Outwardly, Charlie could resemble many of Hanks's previous roles, but the actor adds layers to the character and changes without the aid of makeup or prosthetics. Based on a true story as written by George Crile, the script for CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR displays all the trademark wit of Sorkin's writing. As in Sorkin's other work, notably THE WEST WING and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, the characters in CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR display a fierce love of their country. The screenwriter's own politics often rise to the surface, but this smart comedy never feels preachy |

| Doubt | Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Viola Davis | A tough-as-nails Catholic school principal, Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) tries to trick a confession out of a progressive priest (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) whom she suspects of being a pedophile in this terse drama, directed by John Patrick Shanley, based on his hit stage play, set in the mid 1960s in the wake of the Kennedy assassination. There's a feeling of dread and claustrophobia in the parochial school air: the kids can't sit still and they quake in terror of being called downstairs to face Sister Aloysius's wrath. Amy Adams is the sweet-natured sister in charge of eighth grade, who first suspects Father Flynn (Hoffman) may have seduced a withdrawn African-American boy in her class. Sister Aloysius becomes convinced of the priest's guilt, but it's hard to be certain if her judgment is obscured by the change he represents or is just the result of her hardened years of experience. | |

| Far From Heaven | Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Haysbert, Patricia Clarkson, Viola Davis, Barbara Garrick, James Rebhorn, Celia Weston, Olivia Birkelund, Jordan Puryear, Lindsay Andretta, Ryan Ward, Matt Malloy | The model marriage of Frank (Dennis Quaid) and Cathy Whitaker
(Julianne Moore) in 1950s Hartford is depicted in television ads, and a
magazine features photographs of Cathy as a model homemaker and citizen. Yet,
behind the curtains of their dream home, Cathy and Frank hide scandalous
secrets. Frank has been masquerading his homosexuality and is seeing a doctor
for a heterosexual conversion. Meanwhile, Cathy finds solace in her gardener,
Raymond (Dennis Haysbert), a black man about whom Cathy must conceal her
growing feelings, since simply being seen with him is cause for
scandal. Filmmaker Douglas Sirk employed the trappings of the melodrama to satirize and criticize narrow minds in the 1950s status quo with films such as ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS. Todd Haynes (SAFE) uses Sirk's highly stylized universe to critique society half a century later in FAR FROM HEAVEN. The film uses thematic elements of Sirk's such as isolating characters through windows and vivid, symbolic colors and flowers. It also applies Sirkian plot devices such as gossiping neighbors and demonizing television. Attacking prejudice, Haynes' methods are particularly effective as he uses an antiquated style of filmmaking to shed light on societal problems that are pervasive even in the 21st Century.

| Firewall | Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, Jimmy Bennett, Virginia Madsen, Mary Lynn Rajskub | Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is an average family man in
Seattle who heads up the hi-tech security team at his local bank. But
following a seemingly trivial case of identity theft, Jack's life is turned
upside-down when he discovers that his wife (Virginia Madsen) and two kids
have been kidnapped. The ransom? A mere $100 million, which the kidnappers,
led by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), want Jack to obtain for them via his expert
computer skills. Initially compliant, Jack is soon irked by Cox and his cronies
to the point where he decides to get his family back and bring the bad guys
to justice. British Director Richard Loncraine (WIMBLEDON) uses this basic premise to orchestrate a number of frantic set-pieces, while Ford concocts a character similar to his take on Dr. Richard Kimble in THE FUGITIVE. With a mouthful of computer jargon and nimble fingers that tumble frantically over a keyboard whenever he's in front of a computer, Ford's character is an unlikely action hero. Meanwhile, Bettany's bad guy gives subtly sinister instructions in his clipped British accent, Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN) provides a likeable if underused ally for Ford, and Madsen slots neatly into her wife-in-peril role. As the film builds to an explosive climax Loncraine dumps the gadgets and carves out a delirious romp through action-movie conventions, ultimately infusing an old-fashioned story with a twist of 21st-century techno-fear.

| Flightplan | Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Erika Christensen, Sean Bean | After 2002's PANIC ROOM, Jodie Foster took a three year break
before deciding to take another leading role in a major motion picture. Three
years is a lifetime in Hollywood, but Foster is one of the few stars who can
afford to take such a lengthy hiatus from the industry and still command
major roles on her return. Robert Schwentke's FLIGHTPLAN is the movie Foster
chose as her comeback vehicle; playing the recently widowed Kyle Pratt, she
sticks close to PANIC ROOM territory, delving further into fear and isolation
as her character boards an airplane to escort her dead husband's body from
Berlin to New York. Kyle brings her young daughter Julia (Marlene Lawston) on the plane with her, and they fly on a craft that was designed by the grieving widow during her tragic tenure in Berlin. But after a short in-flight nap, Kyle awakes to find Julia has disappeared. Her frantic search leads nowhere, and it seems no one on the plane can remember Kyle's daughter boarding the plane. An air marshal named Carson (Peter Sarsgaard) and the pilot of the plane, Captain Rich (Sean Bean), methodically ask Kyle some questions to determine where Julia could be, but she fails to produce any concrete evidence, not even a boarding pass. At this point, Kyle begins to doubt her own sanity, and Schwentke steers the movie through some surprising plot twists as his lead character teeters on the brink of madness. The second half of the movie drops the Hitchcockian intrigue (FLIGHTPLAN owes a sizeable debt to Hitchcock's 1938 thriller THE LADY VANISHES) and settles into a more straightforward action film, but Foster shines throughout. Credit is also due to cinematographer Florian Ballhaus, who unnervingly conjures up a palpable feeling of claustrophobia as the high-tech airplane endures a rocky journey through the skies.

| Frantic | Harrison Ford, Betty Buckley, John Mahoney, Emmanuelle Seigner | Roman Polanski's FRANTIC is an engaging thriller in the
tradition of Alfred Hitchcock. Harrison Ford plays Richard Walker, an
American heart surgeon vacationing with his wife, Sondra (Betty Buckley), in
Paris, where he is to attend a medical convention. Sondra suddenly and
unexpectedly disappears from the couple's hotel room while Richard is taking
a shower, and when she doesn't return after several hours, he decides to
report the incident. But neither the French police nor the U.S. embassy
offers much help or even appears particularly interested in his dilemma. On
the brink of despair, Walker decides to embark on an investigation himself,
aided by Michelle (Emmanuelle Seigner), a carefree, seductive gamine who is
also mixed up in the case, as he discovers after tracing back to her a
mysterious piece of switched luggage that he suspects his wife's kidnappers
are after. When the mismatched duo finally succeed in tracking down the
perpetrators, it becomes apparent that the stakes in this extortion scheme
are far higher than they imagined. Ford, cast somewhat against type, gives a
credible, low-key performance as the anxious Walker. Polanski also cowrote
this suspenseful film, assigning the female lead to his young wife
(Seigner). An American heart surgeon is confronted with a heartbreaking mystery when he arrives in Paris for a convention and his wife inexplicably vanishes. His search for her leads him into an urban underworld where he forges an alliance with a beautiful young woman who holds the only clue to his wife's whereabouts. Theatrical release: February 26, 1988. Filmed on location in Paris, France, and at the Studios de Boulogne, Paris. |

| Green Street Hooligans | Elijah Wood, Charlie Hunnam, Claire Forlani, Marc Warren, Henry Goodman | GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS: In 1988, British director Alan Clarke
set a high benchmark for movies about soccer hooliganism with a brutal,
unflinching drama called THE FIRM. Few dared follow in Clarke's estimable
footsteps. But filmmaker Lexi Alexander, who joined a gang of soccer thugs
during her childhood in Germany, seems well placed to be the director of
GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS, which returns to the controversial subject matter
some 17 years after Clarke's film. Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) is a student
who travels to London after getting kicked out of Harvard. Ostensibly there
to visit his sister, Matt instead forms an unlikely bond with her husband's
brother, Pete Dunham (Charlie Hunnam), who takes him to a soccer match to see
his team, West Ham. At the game, the inevitable happens, and Matt's initial
trepidation at the violence swelling around him soon turns into a
pulse-racing, visceral thrill. Suddenly finding a taste for the hooligan
life, Matt joins Pete's "firm," the Green Street Elite, leading to
further booze-fueled confrontations and providing an opportunity for Matt to
keep a journal explaining why he's attracted to such a violent pursuit.
Surprisingly, Elijah Wood manages to fit perfectly into a role that seems ill-suited to his elfin, wide-eyed looks. British actor Charlie Hunnam, who starred in the U.K. version of QUEER AS FOLK and TV's UNDECLARED, neatly complements Wood as the Cockney boy who leads him into danger, and together the two actors manage to carve out convincingly violent characters. A loud, energetic soundtrack and roaming, trembling camera work create a disquieting atmosphere in a movie punctuated with scenes of rampant brutality. Sensibly not trying to ape Alan Clarke's approach to the subject matter, Alexander has instead created a very effective work built on her own experience |

| I Am Legend | Will Smith, Alice Braga, Dash Mihok | In I AM LEGEND, Will Smith joins the ranks of Vincent Price (in 1964's THE LAST MAN ON EARTH) and Charlton Heston (in 1971's OMEGA MAN) as the star of an adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name. Often surprising in its focus on loneliness and loss, this thoughtful, eerie, and restrained sci-fi horror film provides a parade of startling visuals, but never allows special effects to overcome the human element. Smith, in a strong performance very different from his usual persona, is Robert Neville, the lone survivor in a New York City where streets are overgrown and deer gambol among deserted automobiles. Following an epidemic, the Earth's population has been turned into an army of nocturnal zombies. Immune to the virus, military scientist Neville searches for a cure in his Washington Square townhouse. Haunted by visions of his family leaving quarantined Manhattan two years prior, he drives through the city with his German Shepherd, Sam, by day and barricades his home from the monsters nightly. But when Anna (Alice Braga)--another immune stranger-finds him, they will have to fight the onslaught twice as hard. | |

| Identity | John Cusack, Jake Busey, Rebecca De Mornay, Clea DuVall, Ray Liotta, Alfred Molina, John Hawkes, Amanda Peet, John C. McGinley, Bret Loehr, Leila Kenzle, William Lee Scott, Pruitt Taylor Vince | IDENTITY, directed by James Mangold, is a thriller set at an
isolated motel in rural Nevada during an unrelenting rainstorm. With all
roads washed out and all forms of communication dead, a group of people
become stranded at the motel along with the shifty manager (John Hawkes).
Among the stranded are Ed (John Cusack), a former cop turned limo driver;
Caroline (Rebecca De Mornay), a self-absorbed actress; Paris (Amanda Peet), a
prostitute attempting to escape her profession; Rhodes (Ray Liotta), a cop transporting
a prisoner (Jake Busey); Lou (William Lee Scott) and Ginny (Clea DuVall),
bickering newlyweds; and George (John McGinley) and Alice (Leila Kenzle), a
married couple travelling with their young son. Soon the waterlogged lodgers
start dying in mysterious--and brutal--ways, and the increasingly dwindling
number of survivors must discover the killer to prevent their own
demises. Riveting from the opening sequence, Mangold's suspenseful murder mystery wastes no time in turning on the tension. Realizing that truly scary cinema comes from the unknown and the unexpected, Mangold and screenwriter Michael Cooney keep the audience--and the film's characters--in the dark and continually create situations that go from bad to worse for the luckless travelers. Cusack anchors the film as the resigned but noble former policeman, while Peet reveals a depth previously unseen in her other movies. Actors such as Liotta, McGinley, Hawkes, and De Mornay round out the fine ensemble cast. As with many thrillers, IDENTITY has a big twist, but because of the filmmakers' excellent slight of hand, it's unlikely viewers will predict the bizarre outcome. Theatrical Release: APRIL 25, 2003 |

Quentin Tarantino's long-gestating (and much anticipated) World War II epic is sure to delight fans of his artful touch with dialogue and visuals. Brad Pitt stars as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, an American soldier who leads a band of Jewish-American troops in their brutal, violent revenge against the Nazis. NATIONAL TREASURE’s Diane Kruger also stars as a German actress and double agent who is in on the group’s biggest plan yet. Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger, and Mike Myers are also featured in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS’ large cast. | |

Crafted from the same mould that saw Pollack produce the superlative political thriller THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (1975), Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn star in a film riddled with subterfuge, recriminations, and deadly secrets. Kidman plays Silvia Broome, an interpreter who works at the UN in New York City. One night, while collecting a bag she has left behind in the building, Silvia overhears a whispered conversation in which an assassination attempt on a redoubtable African leader, named Zuwanie (Earl Cameron), is planned during his future visit to the UN. Secret service agent Tobin Keller (Penn) is assigned to provide security for Zuwanie on the forthcoming trip, and conducts an investigation when Silvia explains what she has heard. He quickly discovers that Silvia has a lengthy, troubled past as a citizen from the same country as Zuwanie, and immediately doubts her story. A series of frantic, fast-paced set pieces ensue, with Pollack beautifully capturing the architectural wonder of the UN, and staging some breathtaking scenes all over the city. | |

| Lakeview Terrace | Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Wilson, Kerry Washington, Jay Hernandez | A quick perusal of any of LAKEVIEW TERRACE's promotional materials--its nervy trailer, its foreboding (and painterly) dawn-hued poster featuring Samuel L. Jackson looking less-than-neighborly in his squad car--not only reveals it as a thriller, but offers up aesthetic evocations of several popular home-invasion suspensers made in the early 1990s. Like UNLAWFUL ENTRY and PACIFIC HEIGHTS, LAKEVIEW TERRACE takes place in upper-middle-class Californian suburbia. The film's ubiquitous purple sky and poolside lighting create an air of domestic bourgeois comfort just waiting to be upended by deadly social unease. In this mode, the surprises start when the film opens with intimate household scenes not of the film's purported heroes, an interracial couple who's about to move next-door, but of its not-entirely-apparent villain--a curiously middle-aged beat cop (Jackson) who raises a few eyebrows when he close-mindedly bullies his children, but seems sad and sympathetic. The cop, a black man named Abel Turner, watches blankly from his home when the first new neighbor he sees is an African-American wife (Kerry Washington)--and then reacts with quiet shock and disgust when he realizes that the white mover is actually her husband, Chris (Patrick Wilson). The invasion in this home-invasion thriller is, ironically, the one perceived by its psychologically damaged bad guy. Abel, offended and ostensibly law-immune, immediately begins jabbing Chris with a toxic passive-aggression that quickly becomes impossible to ignore. LAKEVIEW TERRACE adheres to a satisfying thriller construct. It's also a little interested in exploiting the archetypes of squirm-inducing domestic threat--all the nasty scenarios viewers recognize from those earlier movies--to consider several facets of American racism: its inevitability in familial and casual issues and its existence in liberal white guilt as much as its poisonous mixture with mental illness | |

| My Best Friend's Girl | Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs, Lizzy Caplan, Alec Baldwin | Love conquers even the relentlessly foulmouthed Lothario played by master-class comic Dane Cook (GOOD LUCK CHUCK) in MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL. Tank (Cook) moonlights as an emotional terrorist, which means when a guy wants to keep a girl from dumping him, he hires Tank to intervene. Tank arranges an accidental meeting with the girl, charms her at first, then takes her through the worst date of her life, sending her running back to the safety of his client. Jason Biggs (AMERICAN PIE) is Dustin, the nerd who wants his best pal Tank to work his magic on Alexis (Kate Hudson), the stunning girl from work who just wants to be friends. Dustin makes a big mistake, since Alexis herself is looking for the raunchy fling Tanks offers, and Tank suddenly finds himself in the position to betray Dustin's trust. Taking a page from the book of Apatow (SUPERBAD, KNOCKED UP), director Howard Deutch and writer Jordan Cahan compensate both sides of the cup-holder armrest: amidst the frat boy-friendly shenanigans lurks girl-pleasing soap-opera hand-wringing as Tank faces tough romantic choices, and vice versa. Adding to the deal are some hilarious bits from Alec Baldwin--as Tank's feminist studies professor father--and Lizzy Caplan, as Alexis' roommate. Mainly this is for the Cook fans out there, and they should be pleased by his general free-form display of loutishness | |

| My Sister's Keeper | Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin, Sofia Vassilieva, Joan Cusack, Jason Patric, Thomas Dekker, Emily Deschanel, Lin Shaye | THE NOTEBOOK's Nick Cassavetes directs another tearjerking
literary adaptation with this drama based on Jodi Picoult's novel. Cameron
Diaz takes a detour from comedy to play Sara, the domineering mother of Kate
(Sofia Vassilieva, MEDIUM), a young girl with cancer. Sara’s other daughter,
11-year-old Anna (Abigail Breslin), was conceived just to serve as a donor
for her sick sister. On the outskirts of the family are father Brian (Jason
Patric), who feels unable to stand up to his wife’s strength, and son Jesse
(Evan Ellingson), who craves attention in the face of Kate’s illness. But the
complicated situation gets more difficult when Anna hires a lawyer (played by
the always excellent Alec Baldwin), so that she can control her own body and
say "no" to giving a kidney to her sister. Cassavetes and Picoult both traffic in tears, so MY SISTER’S KEEPER is a perfect match between director and source writer. Even the most jaded viewers will find it hard to keep their eyes dry in the face of this emotional family tragedy, so audiences are warned to have tissues parked next to their popcorn. This drama’s stellar cast also includes Thomas Dekker as Kate’s cancer-stricken love and Joan Cusack as the judge who presides over Anna’s case. |

| Norma Rae | Sally Field, Ron Leibman, Beau Bridges, Pat Hingle, Barbara Baxley | Set in the industrial South and based on a true story, Martin
Ritt's NORMA RAE is a moving portrait of a woman's fight to improve both her
own life and the deplorable conditions that exist in the mill where she
works. Norma Rae (Sally Field) has worked at the textile mill for years, but
when a union organizer from New York comes to town, Norma takes on the
hostility of the mill's management and the apathy of her coworkers to try to
unionize the mill. Field plays Norma Rae as a passionate woman who realizes
her own potential and her need to rebel against the status quo. She is also
infuriated by the conditions at the mill. When Norma, uneducated and poor,
finally expresses her disgust with life at the mill, it is an electrifying
moment, and Field radiates this energy for the rest of the film, providing an
emotional core and drive that gives the picture its power. NORMA RAE is a thrilling drama about factory workers in the South who are fed up with their dangerous, unhealthy working conditions. When a Jewish union leader from New York arrives to help them organize, he meets the impoverished and uneducated Norma Rae. Together they become a team, ready to wage a tough war against management. Theatrical release: March 2, 1979. Filmed on location in Opelika, Alabama. The film is based on the true story of Crystal Lee Jordan, who had been blacklisted by every textile union in the South for her fight against the conditions at those mills. However, with the success of NORMA RAE, Jordan began a new career as a spokeswoman for a textile workers union. The theme song, "It Goes Like it Goes," was sung by Jennifer Warnes. The film was originally rated R by the MPAA but won a PG on appeal. |

| North Country | Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, Sean Bean, Richard Jenkins, Jeremy Renner, Michelle Monaghan, Woody Harrelson, Sissy Spacek | This melodrama for the modern age is based on the true story of
the first successful sexual harassment case in America. Niki Caro's (WHALE
RIDER) inspirational tale traces one woman's determined struggle for
independence and equality in a male-dominated environment--a struggle that
set a precedent for improved working conditions for women across the country.
Charlize Theron plays Josey Aimes, a young mother of two who has just left
her abusive husband and returned home to live with her parents (Sissy Spacek
and Richard Jenkins). Reconnecting with her old friend Glory (Frances
McDormand), she learns of a well-paid job at the mines that would allow her a
modicum of independence for the first time in her life. But Josey soon finds
out about the drawbacks to the job, as the men mount a war of escalating
cruelty against the women, who are expected to "take it like a
man." Dildos in lunch boxes, obscene graffiti, and a harrowing episode
in a Porta-Potty are just some of the indignities the women have to suffer in
silence. Finally, Josey is pushed too far and decides to fight back, but she
finds herself hard-pressed to find allies willing to sacrifice their bread
and butter. Vilified by her former friends, increasingly abused by male
colleagues, and estranged from her son and also from Glory, Josey nonetheless
decides to sue the company. She is aided by exiled New York lawyer and former
local sports star Bill White (Woody Harrelson). As in all successful
melodrama, good and evil are clearly marked, with the powerful corporation
and the male workers the unmitigated bad guys. However, this makes Josey's
courage and strength, as well as the scope of what she accomplished, stand
out in even starker contrast. Theatrical Release: OCTOBER 19, 2005 |

| Obsessed | Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter, Bruce McGill, Jerry O'Connell, Christine Lahti | Hell hath no fury like an office temp scorned in director Stephen Shill's domestic thriller OBSESSED. Executive-produced by entertainment megastar Beyonce Knowles, the film stars Knowles as Sharon, a one-time temp who has become a dutiful wife to investment brokerage hot-shot Derek (Idris Elba of THE WIRE), as well as the mother to their son. Further temp-tation arrives in the form of Lisa (Ali Larter of HEROES), who sets her blonde ambitions on Derek from day one. Sharon is wary but Derek remains a model of marital fidelity in the face of Lisa's repeated flirtations--inappropriate incidents that he avoids telling Sharon about. But when Derek rejects Lisa's sexual advances at the company Christmas party, her downward spiral of romantic obsession leads her to pursue Derek on a corporate retreat and attempt suicide in his hotel room. Promptly sent into spousal exile, Derek must win back Sharon's trust while the two attempt to put Lisa's psychotic episode behind them. Lisa is one temp who's not easily reassigned, though, and her increasingly brazen intrusions into Derek and Sharon's life auger an inevitable reckoning between the would-be seducer and wife. First-time film director Shill gets a wonderfully wicked performance from Larter, while Knowles shows off her claws in the film's climactic showdown. Taking its place alongside such films as FATAL ATTRACTION and DISCLOSURE, OBSESSED is a rollicking reminder that all's fair in love and stalking | |

| On A Clear Day | Peter Mullan, Brenda Blethyn, Jamie Sives, Billy Boyd, Sean McGinley, Ron Cook, Benedict Wong, Jodhi May | Shot on location in Glasgow and Dover, director Gaby Dellal's
first feature takes off from a true story of one man's determination to swim
the English Channel. The film deftly avoids the pitfalls of sentiment through
a self-deprecating humor that recalls THE FULL MONTY in tone and theme, as
well as a stunning performance from Peter Mullen (YOUNG ADAM) as protagonist
Frank Redmond. After 40 years of working as a shipbuilder, the somewhat taciturn Frank has been "made redundant" and let go from his job. He finds himself utterly unmoored without the routine and trappings that have defined his existence for so long, and suffers a loss of self-respect that he is unable to talk about with his loving wife, Joan (Brenda Blethyn, PRIDE & PREJUDICE), and son, Rob (Jamie Sives). Floundering, Frank becomes obsessed with the idea of swimming the Channel, and undertakes the project with the help of Chan (Benedict Wong, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS), the owner of the local fish-and-chips shop, who becomes Frank's personal trainer. His three best mates (Billy Boyd, Sean McGinley, and Ron Cook) sign on for the ride as well, each discovering new strength in themselves along the way. But it is Frank's relationships with his family that are the most moving part of the film, as he deals with the demons that have hounded him for over 20 years and rediscovers the bonds he shares with his wife and his long-estranged son. Theatrical Release: April 7, 2006 |

| Out Of Time | Denzel Washington, Eva Mendes, Sanaa Lathan, Dean Cain | Carl Franklin and Denzel Washington (DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS)
reteam for this hilariously refreshing noir thriller. Washington is Matt Lee
Whitlock, police chief of a small Florida town just outside of Miami. In the
process of getting a divorce from the woman he still loves, Alex (the sultry
Eva Mendes), Chief Whitlock has begun to have an affair with Anne (Sanaa
Lathan), wife of abusive ex-football quarterback Chris Harrison (Dean Cain).
When he learns that Anne has terminal cancer and doesn't have long to live,
Whitlock's stupidity gets the better of him. He steals $450,000 cash that is
waiting to be sent to the feds in order to help her out. But when both Anne
and Chris's dead bodies are discovered the next morning, all of the signs
point to Whitlock. As the clamps begin to tighten and the excuses begin to
lose their already shaky groundings, Whitlock must use his cunning to track
down the money and clear his name once and for all. Gleefully subverting
typical film noir conventions, first-time screenwriter David Collard's script
is an utter delight. Featuring outstanding supporting turns from Lathan and
Mendes, OUT OF TIME is a rollicking ride through the swampy haze of southern
Florida. Theatrical Release Date: October 3, 2003 |

| Panic Room | Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam, Jared Leto, Kristen Stewart | As David Fincher's PANIC ROOM begins, recently divorced Meg
Altman (Jodie Foster) halfheartedly tours an old New York City townhouse with
her restless young daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart). Using money from her
divorce settlement, the unhappy mother decides to buy the spacious home. The
former abode of a wealthy eccentric, this townhouse contains an unusual extra
feature, a supposedly impenetrable "panic room" equipped with
surveillance monitors, a separate phone line, and other survival aids, where
residents can hide in case of emergency. When three men--Burnham (Forest
Whitaker), Junior (Jared Leto), and Raoul (Dwight Yoakam)--break into their
new home, Meg and Sarah end up using the panic room much sooner than they
could have possibly imagined. And, unfortunately for them, these intruders
are not simple burglars; they possess knowledge that makes the situation much
more perilous. Hitchcockian in its confined setting and carefully doled-out suspense, Fincher's PANIC ROOM is more straightforward than his infamous FIGHT CLUB, though no less engaging. Foster (who replaced Nicole Kidman after she injured herself on the set of MOULIN ROUGE) gives her best performance since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The thieves are equally compelling--Whitaker shines as a likeable, sad-eyed security expert; Leto provides comic relief as a talkative brat; and Yoakam is perfectly loathsome as an armed-to-the-teeth psycho. Although the film features some of Fincher's trademark hi-tech effects, its true bells and whistles are the excellent cast, the stunning photography, the moody score, and the simple yet thrilling story. |

Katie and Micah are a twenty-something couple who've just moved into a new home in San Diego, California. Katie has an interest in the paranormal and believes that malevolent spirits have been following her since childhood, though Micah is not so easily convinced. However, after several nights of loud noises and strange happenings, Micah starts to agree with Katie that some sort of ghost may have followed them to the new home. | |

After a stint in a mental hospital where he discovers his need to help others, a young Patch enters medical school. There he develops his own methods of reaching patients as an antidote to the the pomposity he witnesses in his instructors and fellow students. While his patients and fellow staff members appreciate his approach, the powers-that-be frown upon his "unschooled" methods and attempt to prevent him from practicing. Philip Seymour Hoffman (MAGNOLIA) and Monica Potter (ALONG CAME A SPIDER) co-star in this crowd pleaser based on a book by Adams | |

| Pineapple Express | Seth Rogen, James Franco, Gary Cole, Rosie Perez, Danny McBride | While it might sound outlandish to speak of THE PINEAPPLE
EXPRESS in the same sentence as CITIZEN KANE, in its own little neck of the
cinematic woods the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen comedy is perhaps just as
groundbreaking. In fact, it's nearly impossible to think of another film that
blends so seamlessly pitch-perfect stoner babble with high-octane action
sequences. Dale Denton (Rogen), a process server with a weed fixation, witnesses a murder and turns to his dealer, Saul (James Franco), for support. The murderer is actually Saul's main drug supplier, and because of Saul's access to some extremely rare high-grade pot (called Pineapple Express) the two are quickly tracked down and put on the run. Like all Apatow/Rogen vehicles, the movie deals with the theme of men succumbing to adulthood and all the adjustments they are forced to make in the process. However, unlike KNOCKED UP and THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is just too wacky to offer any lessons. Still, there's more going on here than giggles and the munchies. Indie director David Gordon Green (SNOW ANGELS) brings a subtle auteur's touch to the proceedings, approaching the smoking scenes with his distinctively loose feel and giving the action sequences a wonderfully dated sheen that makes them look more like a fight from KNIGHT RIDER than the empty flash of 21st-century blow- em-ups. It is Franco, however, who truly steals this movie--he hasn't been this charming since his days on FREAKS AND GEEKS. There's only so many ways to play a stoner, but Franco puts his own endearing, lovable spin on the type, portraying Saul as a kind-hearted, well-intentioned yet hardcore dope smoker. Rogen and Apatow have proven themselves a nearly unstoppable juggernaut; here's hoping they bring Franco along on the ride a little more often. |

Sandra Bullock (CRASH, MISS CONGENIALITY) stars as a housewife
troubled by a tragic premonition in Mennan Yapo's thriller. Linda Hanson's
life revolves around her beloved daughters (Shyann McClure and Courtney
Taylor Burness) and her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon, CHARMED). The familiar,
picture-perfect terrain of her existence is abruptly shattered when she is
informed that Jim has died in a gruesome car accident, and Linda spends the
rest of the day in shock. When she awakes the next morning to find Jim calmly
eating breakfast in the kitchen, however, she is even more disturbed. As the
week progresses, Linda wakes up to find Jim alive again or dead again in an
increasingly complex pattern that she struggles to make sense of. Linda
realizes she's in the midst of a premonition and decides she must try to save
Jim, but when she finds out he might have been cheating on her, her resolve
is seriously tested. PREMONITION should appeal to fans of Christopher Nolan's MEMENTO and M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE, as it too presents an intriguing puzzle for the audience to solve. Despite a few plot holes, the film provides an interesting take on the mutability of time. The notion of a mysterious unknown beneath the mundanity of everyday life is attractive, and the exploration of time as twistable--rather than linear--is fascinating. Nia Long (ALFIE) plays Linda's best friend, and Amber Valetta (HITCH) plays the other woman in Jim's life |

| Presumed Innocent | Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, Paul Winfield, Greta Scacchi | PRESUMED INNOCENT is a disturbing murder mystery told in the
style director Alan J. Pakula (ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN) enjoys best. Harrison
Ford (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER) plays prosecuting
attorney Rusty Sabich, who is deeply shaken by the sudden rape and murder of
a colleague and former love interest. Sabich is assigned to the case, which
becomes clouded by both personal and political interests that are in
conflict. An adaptation of Scott Turow's best-selling novel, the film presents
an intense look at the human flaws of ambition, greed and lust. PRESUMED INNOCENT, like most of director Alan J. Pakula's films is also a complex character study. Based on a best-selling novel by Scott Turrow, the courtroom murder mystery tells the story of prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Harrison Ford) who is accused of murdering his former mistress, the beautiful and ambitious Carolyn Polhemus (Greta Scacchi). All the physical evidence points to him, and Sabich's "golden child" character is in deep trouble. His marriage, too, is in jeopardy as new twists of events leave his wife Barbara doubting Ford's innocence, and Sabich's boss Raymond Horgan, who is running for reelection, simply wants the killer caught before his campaign suffers. Ford's performance (somewhat against type based on previous roles) is excellent as the beleaguered attorney who seeks an end to his nightmare, calling acerbic defense lawyer and rival (Raul Julia) to his rescue. Cinematographer Gordon Willis (THE GODFATHER) and Pakula, who collaborated previously on KLUTE, have created a film of shadow and darkness in which great performances keep the audience riveted right up to the unnerving ending. Theatrical release: July 27, 1990. |

recovering drug addict who leaves rehab behind to attend the wedding of her
sister, Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt, MAD MEN), but Kym's problems follow her
home. Rachel cannot forgive or forget Kym's many drug-fuelled transgressions,
and their father (Bill Irwin, LADY IN THE WATER) dotes on his returned daughter.
As the wedding grows closer, the spotlight shifts from Rachel to Kym, much to
the bride's irritation. The alternately hilarious and heartbreaking dialogue in RACHEL GETTING MARRIED adeptly walks the line between wit and reality, giving audiences a picture of a family that feels entirely authentic. Before directing this indie-feeling drama, director Jonathan Demme spent time doing a few documentaries, such as THE AGRONOMIST, and JIMMY CARTER: MAN FROM PLAINS. These films seem like a departure from his normal oeuvre--including THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS--but they work as a bridge to RACHEL GETTING MARRIED. Demme chose to shoot this film with handheld cameras, lending it a naturalistic feel, as though a cameraman is simply shooting the family videos of a fascinatingly flawed group of people. The cast certainly deserves praise for the film's authenticity as well. Much has been made of Hathaway's masterly shedding of her usual roles to play the damaged Kym, but credit should also go to the other members of the cast, particularly Irwin as the too devoted father and DeWitt as the overlooked sister. Stories about dysfunctional families are nothing new in the world of cinema, but RACHEL GETTING MARRIED stands out thanks to its talented cast and excellent script from Jenny Lumet, daughter of director Sidney Lumet (NETWORK). |
