The follow-up to Batman Begins reunites director/co-writer Christopher
Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce
Wayne. In The Dark Knight, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime.
With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney
Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in
Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find
themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath
Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer
to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Official

| An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Meryl Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best friends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski). But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs, from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," this feature-film adaptation of the beloved stage musical is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found. Co-starring Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Dominic Cooper. Official Web Site |

Lou Reed's 1973 album Berlin was a commercial failure and was never
performed live…until five nights in December 2006 at St. Ann's Warehouse
Brooklyn, when Reed performed his masterwork about love's dark sisters: jealousy,
rage and loss. Berlin was said to be one of the most depressing albums
ever made but as it was brought to life it was far from dismal. Using the
divided city of Berlin as its backdrop, the story of Caroline (Emmanuelle
Seigner) and her lovers is told through the singer's emotive and provocative
words. With performers like Fernando Saunders, Antony, Steve Hunter, Rob Wassermann,
Rupert Christie and Sharon Jones, a 7-piece orchestra and the Brooklyn Youth
Chorus all working to create a captivating and enveloping world, we bare witness
to Caroline's self-destruction. Directed by Julian Schnabel (The Diving
Bell and the Butterfly), who also designed the film's sets. Official

| It's the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip-hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana—but change is in the air. The newly inaugurated mayor, Rudy Giuliani, is beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against "crimes" like noisy portable radios, graffiti and public drunkenness. Set against this backdrop, Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) spends his last summer before college selling dope throughout New York City, trading it with his shrink (Ben Kingsley) for therapy, while crushing on his step-daughter (Olivia Thirlby). Famke Janssen, Mary Kate Olsen, and Method Man round out the cast in this edgy, bittersweet and funny coming-of-age story. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron:
The Smartest Guys in the Room) and producer Graydon Carter (Surfwise,
The Kid Stays in the Picture) comes a probing look into the uncanny life
of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack,
the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life—his intense
and ill fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near-successful bid
for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the
landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator
George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny
Depp. Official

Award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (Prisoner of the Mountains)
illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan. Based on leading scholarly
accounts, his stunning historical epic delves into the dramatic and harrowing
early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin
from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the future
conqueror is revealed not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an
inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. In a performance of powerful stillness
and subtlety, celebrated young Japanese actor Asano Tadanobu (Zatoichi,
Last Life in the Universe) captures the inner fire that enabled a hunted
boy to become a legendary conqueror. Masterfully blending action and emotion
against some of the most arresting terrain on earth, Bodrov delivers an exciting
and awe-inspiring tale of survival and triumph, and a love story for the ages.
Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. Official

Having lost his passion for teaching and writing, 62-year-old Walter
Vale (Richard Jenkins) fills the void by trying to learn to play classical
piano. Sent to Manhattan to attend a conference, Walter is surprised to find
a young couple has taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real
estate scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian man, and Zainab (Danai Gurira),
his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the first of a series
of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him.
Touched by his kindness, the talented Tarek insists on teaching the aging
academic to play the African drum. The instrument's exuberant rhythms revitalize
Walter's faltering spirit and open his eyes to a vibrant world of local jazz
clubs and Central Park drum circles. When Tarek is arrested as an undocumented
citizen and held for deportation, Walter finds himself compelled to help his
new friend with a passion he thought he had long ago lost. Written and directed
by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent). Official Web Site Director Tom McCarthy is fascinated by how and why people connect Carina Chocano's Los Angeles Times review... |

| The longest-running midnight movie of all time stars Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing “transsexual from Transylvania” Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as his hapless guests Brad and Janet, Meat Loaf as motorcycle-riding rough trade and author Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff. It’s harmless musical fun—a delightful spoof of Hollywood horror movies and Old Dark House melodramas.

The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving 12-year-old daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll).

| Filmed in sub-zero weather in upstate New York, writer/director Courtney Hunt's award-winning debut feature is set in a real-life smuggling zone on a Native American reservation between New York State and Quebec, where the lure of fast money presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be making minimum wage. Strapped for money and having been deserted by her husband, working class Ray (Melissa Leo) reluctantly teams up with Lila (Misty Upham), a widowed Mohawk Indian, to smuggle illegal immigrants across the frozen St. Lawrence River from Canada to the U.S. in the trunk of a Dodge Spirit. Both women swear each trip will be their last, but one final run across the river leads to a showdown with the law on all sides. Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

| There are certain unforgettable moments in history when America has triumphed against long odds and proved itself to the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon; the U.S. Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics. But one such moment has never received the recognition it deserves: In 1976, a small American winery sent shock waves through the industry by besting the exalted French wines in a blind tasting, putting California wines on the map for good. Novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) risked everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted California Chardonnay. Meanwhile in Paris, struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) came up with an idea for a publicity stunt to help his floundering shop. Little did Spurrier and Barrett realize they were about to change the history of wine forever. A dramatic comedy directed by Randall Miller (Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School), co-starring Chris Pine, Rachael Taylor, Freddy Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku and Dennis Farina.
