| 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 Web Site |

In his most powerful performance to date, Ben Foster stars as Will Montgomery,
a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is
assigned to the Army's Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow
officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones
of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while
seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds
himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the
news of her husband's death, Will's emotional detachment begins to dissolve
and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human
portrait of grief, friendship and survival. Featuring tour-de-force performances
from Foster, Harrelson and Morton, and a brilliant directorial debut by Oren
Moverman, The Messenger brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly
steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and dignity. Official

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
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. Official

Innovative director Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) collaborates
with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books
of all time to the big screen in Where the Wild Things Are, a classic
story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live
in. The film tells the story of Max (Max Records), a rambunctious and sensitive
boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are.
Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose
emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately
long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule.
When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will
be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and
his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.
Co-starring Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo and the voices of Lauren Ambrose,
Chris Cooper, James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara and Forest Whitaker. Official

| While always a well-liked family adventure film, this tale of suburban kids battling frighteningly funny bad guys for the claim to an ancient pirate treasure has become a popular cult favorite in recent years. Whether you're a grown-up nostalgic for the '80s, or a youth yearning for a respite from smarmy post-ironic humor, there's enough high energy and gee-whiz optimism to make you both laugh at and cheer with the teens (Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton) who take down the nasty cutthroats. Co-written and co-produced by Steven Spielberg. From Richard Donner, director of Superman. |

| Visionary director Wes Anderson's first animated film utilizes classic handmade stop-motion techniques to tell the story of the best-selling children's book by Roald Dahl (author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach). Mr. and Mrs. Fox (voices of George Clooney and Meryl Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristopherson (Eric Anderson). But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr Fox’s wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground and with not enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers—Boggis (Brian Cox), Bunce (Hugo Guinness) and Bean (Michael Gambon)—who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr. Fox at any cost. Also featuring the voices of Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson and Jarvis Cocker. Official Web Site |

| In Werner Herzog's new film, Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs—while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous. Official Web Site |

When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother
cares for his wife and children at home—with consequences that will shake
the foundation of the entire family. Brothers tells the powerful story
of two siblings, Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy
(Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his
fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school
sweetheart, Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters.
Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who's
always gotten by on wit and charm. Shipped out to Afghanistan, Sam is presumed
dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains. At home
in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries
to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself,
Grace, and the children. When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, he is
uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, and grows suspicious of his brother
and his wife. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate? And how
will the brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood—and
with the woman caught between them? Directed by Jim Sheridan (In America,
My Left Foot). Official Web Site |
