"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott
Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man,
like any of us, unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans
from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his
journey that is as unusual as any mans life can be. Directed by David
Fincher (Zodiac, Fight Club, Seven), the dramatic fantasy is a time
travelers tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way,
the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and
what lasts beyond time. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett star. Official

| 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 |

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 Ed Johnson-Ott's NUVO review... |
