In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation in "Brooklyn's Finest," a searing new crime drama from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day").
Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan (Golden Globe®-winner Richard Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Oscar® nominee Ethan Hawke) has discovered there's no line he won't cross to provide a better life for his long-suffering wife and seven children. And Clarence "Tango" Butler (Oscar® nominee Don Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (Wesley Snipes), one of Brooklyn's most infamous drug dealers. With personal and work pressures bearing down on them, each man faces daily tests of judgment and honor in one of the world's most difficult jobs.
When NYPD's Operation Clean Up targets the notoriously drug-ridden BK housing project, all three officers find themselves swept away by the violence and corruption of Brooklyn's gritty 65th Precinct and its most treacherous criminals. During seven fateful days, Eddie, Sal and Tango find themselves hurtling inextricably toward the same fatal crime scene and a shattering collision with destiny.
The film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York's most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them "Brooklyn's Finest." |

Category: Drama, Horror
Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson
Directed By: Breck Eisner
Imagine living in a small town where everything is safe and happy... until suddenly it isn't. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane. In a terrifying tale of the "American Dream" gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in "The Crazies," a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright ("Pulse," "Case 39") and Scott Kosar ("The Amityville Horror," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre").
David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house…after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Within days, the town has transformed into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and knives. Sheriff Dutton tries to make sense of what's happening as the horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh... with insanity. Now complete anarchy reigns as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn sadistically violent. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the government uses deadly force to close off all access and won't let anyone in or out – even those uninfected. The few still sane find themselves trapped: Sheriff Dutton; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton's deputy and right-hand man. Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get out of town alive. |

Avatar in
3D and 2D
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for intense epic battle sequences and
warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking.)
Run Time: 162 min.
Category: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver,
Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi
Directed By: James Cameron
"Avatar," a live action film with a new generation
of special effects, takes us to a spectacular world beyond
imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of
redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save
a civilization. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of "Titanic," first
conceived the film years ago, when the means to realize his
vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production
work, "Avatar" delivers a fully immersive cinematic
experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology
invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the
characters and the sweep of the story.
The story's hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to
a wheelchair. Bitter and disillusioned, he's still a warrior
at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth fighting
for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant
world. Jake has been recruited to join an expedition to the
moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining for
a mineral worth $20 million per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate
their work, the humans use a link system that projects a person's
consciousness into a hybrid of humans and Pandora's indigenous
humanoids, the Na'vi. This human-Na'vi hybrid – a fully living,
breathing body that resembles the Na'vi but possesses the individual
human's thoughts, feelings and personality – is known as an "avatar."
In his new avatar form, Jake can once again walk. His mission
is to interact with and infiltrate the Na'vi with the hope
of enlisting their help – or at least their acquiescence –
in mining the ore. A beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves
Jake's life, albeit reluctantly, because even in his avatar
body, Jake represents to her the human encroachment on the
Na'vi's unspoiled world.
As Jake's relationship with Neytiri deepens, along with his
respect for the Na'vi, he faces the ultimate test as he leads
an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate
of an entire world. |

During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission.
Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth. |
