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

| What if someone gave you a box containing a button that, if pushed, would bring you a million dollars...but simultaneously take the life of someone you don't know? Would you do it? And what would be the consequences? The year is 1976. Norma Lewis (Cameron Diaz) is a teacher at a private high school and her husband, Arthur (James Marsden), is an engineer working at NASA. They are, by all accounts, an average couple living a normal life in the suburbs with their young son...until a mysterious man with a horribly disfigured face (Frank Langella) appears on their doorstep and presents Norma with a life-altering proposition: the box. With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face an impossible moral dilemma. What they don't realize is that no matter what they decide, terrifying consequences will have already been set in motion. They soon discover that the ramifications of this decision are beyond their control and extend far beyond their own fortune and fate. Written and directed by Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko).

Disney's A Christmas Carol, a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned
by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back
to the Future, The Polar Express), captures the fantastical essence of
the classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event. Ebenezer
Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt,
barking at his faithful clerk (Gary Oldman) and his cheery nephew (Colin Firth).
But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on
an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face,
he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late. Also
starring Robin Wright Penn, Cary Elwes and Bob Hoskins. Official Web Site Roger Ebert's Chicago Sun-Times review... |

Set in 1960s and 1970s England, The Damned United tells the confrontational
and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough's doomed 44-day tenure as manager
of the reigning champions of English football, Leeds United. Previously managed
by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most
successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to
represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football—an anathema
to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough (Michael Sheen, Frost/Nixon),
who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County,
where he built teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor
(Timothy Spall). Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing
room full of what in his mind were still Don's boys, would lead to an unheralded
examination of Clough's belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. Official

| In this acclaimed thriller, a young couple suspects that their house is haunted by a malevolent entity, so they set up video surveillance to capture evidence of what happens at night as they sleep. Their surveillance and home videos have been edited into the feature film Paranormal Activity. Ain't It Cool News says "All I can say is—believe the hype. This is one of the scariest films I've seen in years. And it's not just run-of-the-mill scares either. It's unpredictable, hyper realistic, and left me (and much of the audience) physically shaking." The New York Press concurs: "Paranormal Activity is great: calculated, subtle, authentically scary without being overtly manipulative. Better than Blair Witch." Official Web Site |

An Education is the story of a teenage girl's coming-of-age set in
1961 London, a city caught between the drab, post-war 1950s and the glamorous,
more liberated decade to come. Jenny (Carey Mulligan) stands on the brink

suburban life is about to be blown apart by the utterly unsuitable 30-something
David (Peter Sarsgaard). Urbane and witty, David manages to charm her conservative
parents Jack (Alfred Molina) and Marjorie (Cara Seymour). David introduces
Jenny to a glittering new world of classical concerts and late-night suppers
with his attractive friend and business partner, Danny (Dominic Cooper) and

Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by another kind of life. Written

| Pirate Radio is a high-spirited, laugh-out-loud ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose "pirate radio" captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost) and others. One night in 1966, Quentin's teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock's prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father… As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don't know is that back in London, a landlocked government minister (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal—permanently.
