| When straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a web of connections to terrorist organizations, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down. The inter-agency task force looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), a veteran CIA contractor who seemingly has his own agenda and Max Archer (Neal McDonough), a fellow FBI agent. The task force links Horn to a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative—or something far more complicated. A taut international thriller written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After Tomorrow). Official Web Site |

The comedy hit of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival is the irreverent tale
of one teacher's overzealous quest to mount a high school musical. Steve Coogan
stars as Dana Marsch, a failed actor turned high school drama teacher. Shortchanged
in the talent department, Dana still harbors ambitions and passions. At work,
that is; his personal life, with his dissatisfied wife (Catherine Keener)
and their border (David Arquette), leaves much to be desired. With his department
under threat of closure, Dana conceives a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet—a
lighthearted musical theatre extravaganza that will disdain both political
correctness and dramatic credibility. Despite objections from school officials
and outrage in the community, Dana will not be denied his freedom of artistic
expression. Co-starring Amy Poehler and Elisabeth Shue. Directed by Andrew
Fleming (Dick, The Craft), who co-wrote the screenplay with Pam Brady
(South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Team America: World Police).

| 1970s Los Angeles. Nihilist Philosophy. Glam Rock. Drugs. Booze. Closeted Homosexuality. Dianetics. A Yen for Rock and Roll Immortality. A convergence of forces shaped the short, self-destructive life of Jan Paul Beahm, a fatherless boy raised by an alcoholic mother and abandoned by an older brother who died of a drug-overdose—a kid who reinvented himself coming out of a high school program for outcasts, as the one and only Darby Crash, the legendary lead singer of the seminal Los Angeles Punk band, The Germs. Shane West ("ER"), Bijou Phillips, Rick Gonzalez and Noah Segan star in a biopic that chronicles the rise of The Germs and their charismatic leader whose image—the contorted, screaming face and death grip on the microphone—has become an icon of the U.S. punk movement and a rapt influence on bands since. Darby's cultivated punk attitude, resplendent with the hardcore, infamous onstage self-mutilation antics and volatile energy that inspired the band's mesmerized followers to riot, ultimately banned The Germs from playing every venue in the greater Los Angeles area. Written and directed by Rodger Grossman. Official Web Site |

Just as New York City was the backdrop in Woody Allen's Manhattan,
the stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the writer/director's look
at the romantic adventures of Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett
Johansson). These two young American women spend a summer in Spain, where
they meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem, Academy Award winner for No
Country for Old Men) and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penélope
Cruz). Vicky is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina is a sexually
adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results
can only be described as chaotic. Co-starring Patricia Clarkson, Kevin Dunn
and Chris Messina. Official

On August 7, 1974 a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit stepped out on a
wire illegally rigged between New York's Twin Towers, then the world's tallest
buildings. After nearly an hour dancing on the wire, he was arrested, taken
for psychological evaluation and brought to jail. Petit spent eight months
in New York planning the execution of the coup. Aided by a team of friends
and accomplices, he had to find a way to bypass the World Trade Center's security; smuggle
the heavy steel cable and rigging equipment into the towers; pass the wire
between the two rooftops; anchor the wire and tension it to withstand the
winds and the swaying of the buildings. The rigging was done by night in complete
secrecy. At 7:15 AM, Philippe took his first step on the high wire 1,350 feet
above the sidewalks of Manhattan. James Marsh's documentary brings Petit's
extraordinary adventure to life through the testimony of Philippe himself,
and some of the co-conspirators who helped him create the unique and magnificent
spectacle that became known as "the artistic crime of the century."

There are certain unforgettable moments in history when America has triumphed
against long odds and proved itself to the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot
on the moon; the U.S. Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980
Olympics. But one such moment has never received the recognition it deserves:
In 1976, a small American winery sent shock waves through the industry by
besting the exalted French wines in a blind tasting, putting California wines
on the map for good. Novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) risked everything
to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted California Chardonnay.
Meanwhile in Paris, struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman)
came up with an idea for a publicity stunt to help his floundering shop. Little
did Spurrier and Barrett realize they were about to change the history of
wine forever. A dramatic comedy directed by Randall Miller (Marilyn Hotchkiss
Ballroom Dancing & Charm School), co-starring Chris Pine, Rachael
Taylor, Freddy Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku and Dennis Farina. Official

Filmed in sub-zero weather in upstate New York, writer/director Courtney
Hunt's award-winning debut feature is set in a real-life smuggling zone on
a Native American reservation between New York State and Quebec, where the
lure of fast money presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise
be making minimum wage. Strapped for money and having been deserted by her
husband, working class Ray (Melissa Leo) reluctantly teams up with Lila (Misty
Upham), a widowed Mohawk Indian, to smuggle illegal immigrants across the
frozen St. Lawrence River from Canada to the U.S. in the trunk of a Dodge
Spirit. Both women swear each trip will be their last, but one final run across
the river leads to a showdown with the law on all sides. Grand Jury Prize
winner at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Official Web Site Kenneth Turan's Los Angeles Times review... |

| Celebrate the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural movements of a generation. In the early 1990s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop and graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring eleven artists who are considered leaders within this culture (including Shepard Fairey, Harmony Korine and Ed Templeton), director Aaron Rose's documentary focuses on the telling of personal stories...speaking to themes of what happens when the outside becomes "in" as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today's youth. Original music by Money Mark. Official Web Site |

| The longest-running midnight movie of all time stars Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing “transsexual from Transylvania” Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as his hapless guests Brad and Janet, Meat Loaf as motorcycle-riding rough trade and author Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff. It’s harmless musical fun—a delightful spoof of Hollywood horror movies and Old Dark House melodramas. All of our engagements feature live casts who perform scenes during the movie, and the audience is always welcome to respond to the on-screen action. The Rocky Horror Picture was the first—and is still the best—interactive movie experience! Official Web Site |

| François Berléand (The Chorus) stars as Charles, a world-famous but jaded novelist and "ladies man" whose latest conquest is perky TV weathergirl Gabrielle (Ludivine Sagnier, Swimming Pool). At once naïve and unstoppable, Gabrielle eagerly enters into a sordid May-September relationship with a celebrated member of the intelligentsia. However, tugging at her other arm is handsome young Paul (Benoît Magimel, The Piano Teacher), the spoiled rotten scion of a Lyon pharmaceutical magnate, who has always gotten anything he ever wanted. Paul is cute, but dangerously schizophrenic; Charles won't leave his wife. What's a girl to do? A new thriller directed and co-written with a sure touch by old master Claude Chabrol (Merci Pour le Chocolat, La Cérémonie). Official Web Site |
