| Adapted from the revealing novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road is an incisive portrait of an American marriage seen through the eyes of Frank Wheeler (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his wife April (Kate Winslet). The couple proudly declare their independence from the suburban inertia that surrounds them and determine never to be trapped by the social confines of their era. Yet for all their charm, beauty and irreverence, the Wheelers find themselves becoming exactly what they didn't expect: a good man with a meaningless job whose nerve has gone missing; a less-than-happy homemaker starving for fulfillment and passion; an American family with lost dreams, like any other. Yates' story of 1950s America poses a question that has been reverberating through modern relationships ever since: Can two people break away from the ordinary without breaking apart? Co-starring Kathy Bates, Kathryn Hahn, Michael Shannon and David Harbour. Directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty). Official Web Site |

| Writer/director John Patrick Shanley brings his Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play to the screen as a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change and the devastating consequences of blind justice in an age defined by moral conviction. It's 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the school's strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Muller. But when Sister James (Amy Adams), a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence. Co-starring Viola Davis. Official Web Site |

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard brings to the screen writer Peter Morgan's
(The Queen, The Last King of Scotland) electrifying battle between
Richard Nixon (Frank Langella), the disgraced president with a legacy to save,
and David Frost (Michael Sheen), a jet-setting television personality with
a name to make, in the untold story of the historic encounter that changed
both. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent.
But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to
sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time
in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Frost/Nixon
not only re-creates the on-air interview, but the weeks of around-the-world,
behind-the-scenes maneuvering between the two men and their camps as negotiations
were struck, deals were made and secrets revealed-all leading to the moment
when they would sit facing one another in the court of public opinion. Official

Gay Rights Activist. Friend. Lover. Unifier. Politician. Fighter. Icon. Inspiration.
Hero. His life changed history, and his courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey
Milk (Sean Penn) was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming
the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in America.
His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across
the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk
changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights
and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Co-starring
James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Diego Luna and Josh Brolin. Directed by Gus Van
Sant (Good Will Hunting, My Own Private Idaho) from an original screenplay
by Dustin Lance Black. Official Web Site Lisa Kennedy's Denver Post review... |

As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock.

| Back in the late '80s, Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life, trying to reconnect with his daughter, and striking up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy back into his world of wrestling. Director Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream) presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home—inside the ring.
