If war is hell, why do so many men choose to fight? In an age when armies
consist not of draftees but of volunteers, and men willingly thrust themselves
into military action, sometimes the rush of battle is a potent and alluring
attraction, even an addiction. The Hurt Locker is an intense portrayal
of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming
bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James (Jeremy Renner), takes
over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises
his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge (Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty),
by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves
as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild
new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals
itself in a way that will change each man forever. This riveting
and suspenseful drama from visionary filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow
(Strange Days, K-19: The Widowmaker) is based on first-hand observation by journalist and
screenwriter Mark Boal who was stationed on assignment with a special bomb
unit. Also starring Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce. Official

| Stranded in a remote Iranian village, a French journalist (James Caviezel) is approached by Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo, Academy Award nominee for House of Sand and Fog), a woman who has a harrowing tale to tell about her niece, Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), and the bloody circumstances of her death the day before... As the journalist turns on his tape recorder, Zahra takes us back to the beginning of her story which involves Soraya's husband, the local phony mullah, and a town all too easily led down a path of deceit, coercion and hysteria. The women, stripped of all rights and without recourse, nobly confront the overwhelming desires of corrupt men who use and abuse their authority to condemn Soraya, an innocent but inconvenient wife, to an unjust and torturous death. A shocking and true drama, it exposes the dark power of mob rule, uncivil law, and the utter lack of human rights for women. The last and only hope for some measure of justice lies in the hands of the journalist who must escape with the story—and his life—so the world will know. Official Web Site |

In the near future, astronaut Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is living on the far
side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to
mine Earth's primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made
harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Thankfully,
his time on the moon is nearly over, and Sam will be reunited with his wife
and three-year-old daughter. He will leave the isolation of "Sarang,"
the moon base that has been his home for so long, and he will finally have
someone to talk to beyond "Gerty" (voice of Kevin Spacey), the base's
well-intentioned but rather uncomplicated computer. Suddenly, Sam's health
starts to deteriorate. Painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus
lead to an almost fatal accident on a routine drive on the moon in a lunar
rover. While recuperating back at the base (with no memory of how he got there),
Sam meets a younger, angrier version of himself, who claims to be there to
fulfill the same three year contract Sam started all those years ago. Confined
with what appears to be a clone of his earlier self, and with a "support
crew" on its way to help put the base back into productive order, Sam
is fighting the clock to discover what's going on and where he fits into company
plans. Official Web Site Director Duncan Jones on his debut feature Moon Ben Kenigsberg's Time Out New York review... |

Tetro is writer/director Francis Ford Coppola's first original screenplay
since 1974's The Conversation. It is his most personal film yet, arising
from memories and emotions from his early life, though totally fictional.
When Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) finds his long-estranged brother Tetro (Vincent
Gallo) living in Buenos Aires, he discovers that his sibling, once a brilliant
writer, is now tormented and self-destructive. A bittersweet story
of two brothers, of family lost and found and the conflicts and secrets within
a highly creative Argentine-Italian family, the drama co-stars Klaus Maria Brandauer,
Maribel Verdú and Carmen Maura. Official

| In 1974, the most celebrated American R&B acts of the time came together with the most renowned musical groups in Africa for a 12-hour, three-night long concert held in Kinshasa, Zaire. The dream-child of Hugh Masekela and Stewart Levine, this music festival became a reality when they convinced boxing promoter Don King to combine the event with "The Rumble in the Jungle," the epic fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, previously chronicled in the Academy Award-winning documentary When We Were Kings. Soul Power is a verité documentary about this legendary music festival (dubbed Zaire '74), and it depicts the experiences and performances of such musical luminaries as James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Celia Cruz and a host of others. At the peak of their talents and the height of their careers, these artists were inspired by this return to their African roots, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zairian audience, to give the performances of their lives. The concert has achieved mythological significance as the definitive Africa(n)-American musical event of the 20th Century. Official Web Site |

Extended Director's Cut!
 |
| A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock"—which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union—is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion—a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers—Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen? Directed by Zack Snyder (300), based on the graphic novel illustrated by Dave Gibbons. The director's cut features 24 minutes of additional footage. Official Web Site |

| Daringly original and genre-busting, Deadgirl is an odyssey into the soul of our alienated youth. But by injecting universal teen moral moorings into something fantastical and terrifying, the film takes the conventions of the horror and coming-of-age movies and turns them on their heads. When high school misfits Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) decide to cut school and find themselves lost in the crumbling facility of a nearby abandoned hospital, they come face-to-face with a gruesome discovery: a woman whose body has been stripped naked, chained to a table and covered in plastic. When both react to the situation in extremely different ways, the boys soon find themselves embarking on a twisted yet poignant journey that forces them to decide just how far they're willing to stretch their understanding of right and wrong. A no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up, Deadgirl also stars Michael Bowen and Candice Accola. Official Web Site |
