In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful Twilight
series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella
Swan (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural
world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril
than ever before. Following Bella's ill-fated 18th birthday party, Edward
Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington,
in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the
heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb
and alone, she discovers Edward's image comes to her whenever she puts herself
in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater
and greater risks. With the help of her childhood friend Jacob Black (Taylor
Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures.
Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with
Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret
of his own. Official

A grieving couple retreat to 'Eden,' their isolated cabin in the woods, where
they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature
takes its course and things go from bad to worse… Willem Dafoe and Charlotte
Gainsbourg (winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival)
give brave, outstanding performances in the new provocation from writer/director
Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville). Antichrist
is a totally uncompromising psychological horror film conceived and made while
the director was experiencing emotional challenges in his own life. Reviewing
the intense and controversial film at its Cannes premiere, Roger Ebert called
it "powerfully made" and continued: "The performances by Willem
Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg are heroic and fearless…Von Trier's visual
command is striking…And if you can think beyond what he shows to what
he implies, its depths are frightening…Von Trier has reached me and shaken
me." Official

In this quirky dark comedy inspired by a real life story you will hardly
believe is actually true, astonishing revelations about a top-secret wing
of the U.S. military come to light when a reporter encounters an enigmatic
Special Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission. Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan
McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady
(George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental
U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the
way wars are fought. A legion of "Warrior Monks" with unparalleled
psychic powers can read the enemy's thoughts, pass through solid walls, and
even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now, the program's founder, Bill
Django (Jeff Bridges), has gone missing and Cassady's mission is to find him.
Intrigued by his new acquaintance's far-fetched stories, Bob impulsively decides
to accompany him on the search. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine
training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey), the reporter
is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Django's
New Earth Army and Hooper's personal militia of super soldiers. An eye-opening
and often hilarious exploration of the government's attempts to harness paranormal
abilities to combat its enemies, inspired by Jon Ronson's non-fiction bestseller
of the same name. Official

| Raizo (Rain) is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive...and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta). Official Web Site |

| In this love/hate comedy, things don't go exactly as planned for high-powered Manhattan lawyer Louise (Meg Ryan) after she arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway. First, her husband of 13 years, Ian (Timothy Hutton), tells her that he's leaving her for a younger woman (Kristen Bell). Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won't release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that's when things really start to go wrong. The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian's impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future. Written by Adrienne Shelly (writer/director of Waitress) and directed by Cheryl Hines (Larry David's wife on "Curb Your Enthusiasm"). Official Web Site |
