| Roman Polanski directs this atmospheric and suspenseful political thriller based on the novel The Ghost by Robert Harris. When a successful British ghostwriter, The Ghost (Ewan McGregor), agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan), his agent assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident. The Ghost flies to the East Coast of the United States to work on the project, but the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams), and his personal assistant, Amelia (Kim Cattrall). As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind. Also starring Timothy Hutton, Eli Wallach, Tom Wilkinson and James Belushi. Official Web Site |

The Hurt Locker is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military’s unrecognized heroes: the technicians of a bomb squad who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives doing one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. Three members of the Army’s elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad battle insurgents and one another as they search for and disarm a wave of roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad—in order to try and make the city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike. Their mission is clear—protect and save—but it’s anything but easy, as the margin of error when defusing a war-zone bomb is zero. This thrilling and heart-pounding look at the psychology of bomb technicians and the effects of risk and danger on the human psyche is a fictional tale inspired by real events by journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. In Iraq, it is soldier vernacular to speak of explosions as sending you to “the hurt locker.” Acclaimed director Kathryn Bigelow brings together groundbreaking realistic action and intimate human drama in a landmark film starring Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty, with cameo appearances by Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Evangeline Lilly and Guy Pearce. Winner of 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Official

Avatar, a live action film in 3D from writer/director James Cameron
(Titanic, Aliens, The Terminator), features a new generation of immersive
special effects that take 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. The story's hero is Jake Sully (Sam
Worthington), 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. Complications arise when Jake falls
in love with a beautiful Na'vi female (Zoe Saldana) who saves his life, leading
to an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire
world. Winner of 3 Academy Awards, including Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects. Official Web
