| Twilight is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for—a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen). Official Web Site |

Just how hard is it to be happy? In the effervescent new comedy from writer/director
Mike Leigh (Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy), Sally Hawkins stars as
Poppy, an irrepressibly free-spirited school teacher who brings an infectious
laugh and an unsinkable sense of optimism to every situation she encounters,
offering us a touching, truthful and deeply life-affirming exploration of
one of the most mysterious and often the most elusive of all human qualities:
Happiness. Poppy’s ability to maintain her perspective is tested as the
story begins and her commuter bike is stolen. However, she enthusiastically
signs up for driving lessons with Scott (Eddie Marsan), who turns out to be
her nemesis—a fuming, uptight cynic. As the tension of their weekly lessons
builds, Poppy encounters even more challenges to her positive state of mind:
a fiery flamenco instructor, her bitter pregnant sister, a troubled homeless
man and a young bully in her class, not to mention that she has also thrown
out her back. How this affects not only Poppy’s world view but also the
outlook of those around her begs the question, “glass half full or half
empty”? Official

| It is one of the most astonishing and inspiring survival tales of all time. On October 13, 1972, a young rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded a plane for a match in Chile—and then vanished into thin air. Two days before Christmas, 16 of the 45 passengers miraculously resurfaced. They had managed to survive for 72 days after their plane crashed on a remote Andean glacier. Thirty-five years later, the survivors return to the crash site—known as the Valley of Tears—to recount their harrowing story of defiant endurance and indestructible friendship. Previously documented in the 1973 worldwide bestseller Alive (and the 1993 Ethan Hawke movie of the same name), this shocking true story finally gets the cinematic treatment it deserves. Visually breathtaking and crafted with riveting detail by documentary filmmaker (and childhood friend of the survivors) Gonzalo Arijón with a masterful combination of on-location interviews, archival footage and reenactments, Stranded is by turns hauntingly powerful and spiritually moving.
