| In 1994, scientist Victor DeNoble became the first whistleblower to reveal the tobacco industry's efforts to manufacture "a maximally addictive" product. Tasked in the 1980s by a major tobacco company to invent a safer form of nicotine—one that would decrease the danger of heart failure while remaining just as addictive (so smokers could live, and smoke, longer)—DeNoble succeeded. But, in doing so, he inadvertently created something the tobacco companies had been avoiding for years—indisputable scientific evidence that nicotine was addictive. Their reaction was swift: his position was terminated, his lab was closed, and both his research and the "safer cigarette" were buried in the vaults and kept from the public...until he broke his confidentiality agreement and became the ultimate whistleblower. If you think you know everything there is to know about cigarettes and nicotine, Addiction Incorporated will startle you with its vital, previously undisclosed information. Straight from the mouths of the key players behind the scenes (including Steven C. Parrish, the former Senior VP and General Counsel for External Affairs at Philip Morris, and Jeffrey Wigand, the subject of the Academy Award-nominated film The Insider), this film reveals exactly how the tobacco industry achieved behemoth power through scientific secrecy...and what their next move may be.

| The Iron Lady revisits recent history through the eyes of the leader who shaped it—charting the compelling rise and fall of trail-blazing politician Margaret Thatcher, the controversial former Prime Minister of the UK and the first woman ever elected as head of government in the West. Best Actress nominee Meryl Streep brings Margaret Thatcher to vivid life over a 40-year span, delivering a performance of great authenticity and sensitivity. Combining fact, fiction and poetic flights of imagination into a new breed of biopic, director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) creates a piercing portrait which reveals the many faces of Thatcher: the hard-nosed conservative; the woman who demolished the barriers of gender and class in a male-dominated world; the spirited wife and mother who longed to change her country for the better. Exposing the private life behind the headlines, The Iron Lady is a moving journey into the heart of an extraordinary, complex woman. Jim Broadbent co-stars. Official Web Site |

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the long-awaited feature film version of John le Carré's classic bestselling thriller. The time is 1973. The Cold War of the mid-20th century continues to threaten international relations. Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), code-named the Circus, is striving to keep pace with other countries' espionage efforts and to keep the U.K. secure. The head of the Circus, known as Control (John Hurt), personally sends dedicated operative Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) into Hungary. But Jim's mission goes bloodily awry, and Control is forced out of the Circus—as is his top lieutenant, George Smiley (Best Actor nominee Gary Oldman), a career spy with razor-sharp senses. Estranged from his absent wife, Smiley is soon called in to see Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney), who tells him that he is to be rehired in secret. There is a gnawing fear that the Circus has long been compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets, jeopardizing England. Supported by younger agent Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch), Smiley pores over Circus activities past and present, trying to find the mole. Also starring Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Toby Jones, Kathy Burke and Ciarán Hinds. Directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In). Official Web Site

Hollywood 1927. Silent movie matinee idol George Valentin (Best Actor nominee Jean Dujardin, the charismatic star of OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies) is enjoying the good life, although he seems fonder of his faithful dog than of his trophy wife (Penelope Ann Miller). He meets funny, sexy young extra Peppy Miller (Best Actress nominee Bérénice Bejo), a dancer set for a big break, and sparks fly. With the advent of the talkies George's career nosedives, while Peppy's takes off.

In the early summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) came down from Oxford determined to make his way in the film business. He worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Best Supporting Actor nominee Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott). Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My Week with Marilyn. This is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life—an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

The cities of Zurich and Vienna on the eve of World War I are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, A Dangerous Method takes a glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender of Shame and Jane Eyre), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen, A History of Violence) and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley, Atonement), the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel, Black Swan), a free-thinker who encourages Jung to cross therapist-patient boundaries. This exploration of sensuality, ambition and deceit sets the scene for the pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come together and split apart, forever changing the face of modern thought. Screenplay by Christopher Hampton (Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons), based on his play The Talking Cure. Directed by David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, A History of Violence). Official Web Site

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, director Steven Spielberg's War Horse is an epic adventure, a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War.

War Horse is one of the great stories of friendship and war—a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful theatrical hit, on Broadway and internationally.

| Troma's comic slasher Father's Day, directed by Astron-6 (Adam Brooks and Jeremy Gillespie, with sketch-comedy duo Matthew Kennedy and Conor Sweeney), is a bloody, bizarre and hilarious revenge film that pays homage to the VHS "golden age." An urban legend known as "The Father's Day Killer" begins some years after the demise of serial rapist/murderer Chris Fuchman (Mackenzie Murdock). The story becomes a fire-side cautionary ritual on camping trips, often used by fathers to warn their sons of the dangers of unplanned pregnancy. That deep fear of violation and eventual death waned as the murder and rape of fathers continued to decline all over the world. But those numbers don't remain low, and it would seem that the legend is not yet complete. Ahab (co-director Brooks), a man obsessed with exacting a brutal violent revenge on the man who murdered his dad, joins eager priest John (co-director Kennedy) and hot-headed street hustler Twink (co-director Sweeney) on an epic quest to find and defeat the mythical monster known as The Father's Day Killer.
