Charles, Roger and George are the very picture of honest security guards. But when they learn their favorite artworks are being sent to another museum, they concoct a plan to switch the real masterpieces with fakes. All goes well until a mistake forces these first-time thieves into a last-minute escapade in the comedy caper that proves you’re never too old to have some new fun.

Roger (Christopher Walken), Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H. Macy) are each so lost in fascination with the particular objet d'art of his affection that although they have been coworkers for decades, they only just meet for the first time when crisis strikes: there's a new curator in town, and his plan is to change the museum's collection entirely, threatening to rob each man of his greatest secret passion in life.

However, having found their kindred spirits, the men forge a plan to hold onto the works of art they hold most dear. Though hardly criminal masterminds, their inflamed hearts drive them to plan and execute the most daring art heist ever conceived from the inside - with bumblingly hilarious results!

Dimension Films, The Weinstein Company — Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Garret Dillahunt, Cody Smit-McPhee, etc.

Director: John Hillcoat

Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen, Academy Award winners Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and 12-year-old Kodi Smit-McPhee star in the big-screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Road—the story of a man (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) traveling through a desperate, post-apocalyptic world.

The story, set after a nuclear explosion, is the post-apocalyptic nightmarish road trip of a man who tries to transport his son to safety while fending off starving stragglers and marauding packs of cannibals. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.

Senator Distribution — Starring: Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes, Richard Gere, Ellen Barkin, Jesse Williams / Director: Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day,” “Shooter,” “King Arthur”)

Three unconnected Brooklyn cops wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths.

Something of a genre homecoming, Antoine Fuqua's latest film once again finds him delving into the gritty, brutal realm of cops and crooks-as he did in Training Day. Tango is an undercover officer on a narcotics detail that forces him to choose between duty and friendship. Having been to hell and back, he wants out, but the powers that be won't let him quit. Family-man Sal is a detective tempted by greed and corruption. He can barely make ends meet, and now his wife has an illness that threatens the life of their unborn twins. Eddie is nearing retirement age and has long since lost his dedication to his job as a cop. He wakes up every morning trying to come up with a reason to go on living…and he can't think of one.

Fate brings the three men to the same Brooklyn housing project as each takes the law into his own hands. Crosscutting between multiple subplots, Brooklyn's Finest unfolds violently and passionately as coiled, constantly roving cinematography contributes a measure of unease to the underworld action. Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ethan Hawke bring all of the intensity and complexity required to breathe stunning life into their characters' fractured souls. Fuqua flourishes in this terrain. Showing complete command of the cinematic language of the genre, he creates a visceral and emotional punch that displays a master at work.

Official site: foxsearchlight.com/adam/

Fox Searchlight Pictures — Starring: Hugh Dancy, Rose Byrne, Peter Gallagher, Amy Irving, Frankie Faison, Mark Linn-Baker / Director: Max Mayer

A lonely, autistic man, Adam, develops a relationship with his upstairs neighbor, Beth.

In movies, when two twentysomethings serendipitously wind up under the same Manhattan roof, witty repartee usually transpires, then sparks fly, and eventually they fall into bed. But the boy and the girl in Adam are no ordinary characters, and their romance is anything but familiar. Soon after moving in, Beth, a brainy, beautiful writer, encounters Adam, the handsome, but odd, fellow in the downstairs apartment. A pleasant chemistry flows, but his awkwardness is perplexing. Whether avoiding eye contact or standing by blithely while Beth drags a heavy load up steep stairs, Adam seems utterly oblivious to social convention.

Then one night, Adam regales Beth with an elaborate outer-space light show. It's a magical moment, tainted slightly by his obsessively thorough astronomical explanation. Their connection is palpable. It becomes clear that Adam's inability to decipher nonverbal signals is beyond his control. And yet Beth doesn't balk. Their mutual interest tentatively takes root.

What makes this rare story about obstacles to human intimacy credible is its tremendous psychological wisdom; what makes it transcendent is the intelligence and authenticity radiating from actors Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne. Though their particular challenges are extraordinary, Beth and Adam's tricky relationship elucidates something universal: truly reaching another person means bravely stretching into discomfiting territory-and the shake-up can be liberating.

Anchor Bay Films — Starring: Cobie Smulders, Michael Jai White, Michael Clarke Duncan, etc. / Director: Kevin Heffernan

Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won't release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that's when things Really start to go wrong. The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian's impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future.

Adaptation of the best-selling novel by Alice Sebold.

On December 6, 1973 in Norristown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, Susie Salmon takes a shortcut home from school. She is accosted by a neighbor, George Harvey, a man in his mid-30s who lives alone and builds doll houses for a living. He persuades her to enter an underground den he has recently built nearby. Once she enters, he rapes and stabs her, cutting her body into parts, and then collapses the den. An elbow, the only part of Susie ever to be found, falls out of his bag as he returns home, disposing of the remaining parts of the body by putting them in a safe and paying someone to drop it in a sinkhole. Meanwhile, Susie's spirit flees toward her personal heaven. The Salmon family is at first reluctant to accept that Susie has been killed, but then accedes when Susie's hat and elbow are found. The police who talk to Mr. Harvey find him odd, but see no reason to suspect him. Jack, Susie's father, becomes suspicious and later comes to harass the police about Harvey.

Susie's sister Lindsey comes to share these suspicions. Jack, consumed with guilt over not having been able to protect his daughter, remains on extended leave from work and increasingly isolates himself at home. Buckley, the youngest child in the family at five, tries to make sense of all this as he starts school. One day late in the summer a detective named Len Fenerman comes to tell the Salmons that the police have exhausted all leads and are dropping the investigation. That night in his study, Jack looks out the window and sees a flashlight in the cornfield. Believing it to be Harvey returning to destroy evidence, he runs out to confront him with a baseball bat. It turns out to be Susie's best friend, Clarissa, and her boyfriend Brian looking for a place to make out. Brian and Jack struggle and Jack is struck with the bat. As a result he has to have knee replacement surgery. In the wake of this, his wife Abigail begins having an affair with Fenerman, who is a widower. The following summer Abigail leaves her husband, going to her father's old cabin in New Hampshire and then moving to California, taking a job at a winery. As a result her mother, Grandma Lynn, moves into the Salmons' home to help her son-in-law care for Buckley and Lindsey. Still suspicious, Lindsey sneaks into Harvey's house and finds a drawing of the pit and is forced to leave when Harvey returns prematurely. Sensing threat, Harvey leaves Norristown as soon as possible and becomes a drifter. A year later the police bulldoze the cornfield and turn up a soda bottle from the night of the murder with Harvey's and Susie's fingerprints, finally making him an official suspect. However, he remains at large. That fall, a hunter in Connecticut discovers the body of another one of Harvey's victims, and one of Susie's charms nearby. In 1981, a detective in Connecticut links the charm to Susie's murder and calls Fenerman.

As they uncover further evidence, the police realize that Harvey is a serial killer. Lindsey and her boyfriend Samuel Heckler become engaged, find an old house in the woods that Ruth's father owns and decide to fix it up and live there. Sometime after the celebration, while arguing with his son, Jack suffers from a heart attack. The emergency prompts Abigail to return from California, but the reunion is tempered by Buckley's lingering bitterness at her for having abandoned him and his father. Meanwhile, Harvey returns to Norristown, which has become more developed. Having explored his old neighborhood and seen that the school is being expanded into the cornfield where he killed Susie, he drives by the sinkhole where Susie's body is, and where Ruth Connors and Ray Singh are standing. Ruth, an old classmate of Susie's who had felt Susie's spirit go past her after her murder, senses the women Harvey has killed and is overcome, as is Susie watching from heaven, and they exchange positions. Susie, her spirit now in Ruth's body, kisses Ray, who had a crush on Susie in school, and they go to the back room in Hal's bike shop to make love. Afterwards, Susie returns to heaven. She moves onto the larger heaven, still watching earthbound events from time to time. She sees her sister's newborn baby girl, who is named Abigail Suzanne. One day she spies Harvey getting off a Greyhound bus at a diner in New Hampshire in early spring. Behind the diner he sees a young woman and attempts to speak to her, but she rebuffs him. Susie notices some large icicles hanging from the roof, and after the woman leaves one falls and hits Mr. Harvey on the head, knocking him into a nearby ravine and ultimately killing him.

Newmarket - Starring: Jennifer Connelly (Emma Darwin), Paul Bettany (Charles Darwin), Toby Jones (Thomas Huxley), Jeremy Northam (Reverend Innes)

English naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.

Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part heart-wrenching love story ‘Creation’ is the story of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history. Darwin's great, still controversial, book The Origin of Species depicts nature as a battleground. In ‘Creation’ the battleground is a man's heart.

Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth. This is not the grey-bearded old man that most people imagine when they think of Darwin.

The Darwin we meet in ‘Creation’ is a young, vibrant father, husband and friend whose mental and physical health gradually buckles under the weight of guilt and grief for a lost child. Ultimately it is the ghost of Annie, his adored 10 year-old daughter who leads him out of darkness and helps him reconnect with his wife and family. Only then is he able to create the book that changed the world.

Told in a collage of scenes from the past and present, laced with stories of exotic animals and the dark dreams of a troubled mind ‘Creation’ is a film that will provoke, entertain and ultimately deeply move you.

Romantic story about the young life and loves of artist Salvador Dalí, filmmaker Luis Buñuel and writer Federico García Lorca.

In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university's social elite - Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunuel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels an increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico - who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friend, Margarita. Finally, in the face of his friends' preoccupations - and Federico's growing renown as a poet - Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls. And then one night, in the phosphorescent water, it becomes something else.

Consolidated Pictures Group — Director: Glenn Ficarra

The story follows a married father (Carrey) who is sent to prison and falls in love with a cellmate named Phillip Morris. His love leads him to make several escape attempts.

Based on the book I Love You Phillip Morris by Steven McVicker—“To escape from a Texas jail or prison once is unusual. To do it four times is incredible. To do it four times in five years and always on a Friday the 13th is the stuff of legend. Welcome to the world of Steven Russell. Con artist. Thief. Swindler. Embezzler. Hopeless romantic.

A husband and father, Russell was a church organist, prosperous businessman, and onetime Boca Raton cop before turning to his life of crime. Arrested for a string of felonies, with a specialty in fraud, his real expertise turned out to be his uncanny ability to escape from jail. Between 1993 and 1998, he orchestrated a string of prison breaks that were as audacious as they were ingenious. Using whatever unlikely materials were at hand—a Magic Marker, a pay phone, a walkie-talkie, a pair of stolen bright red women's stretch pants—along with an innate talent for analytical thinking and boundless quantities of sheer nerve, Russell again and again arranged his own ‘early releases’ from jail. Unfortunately, for Russell, staying out of jail is another matter entirely.

Over the years, it became increasingly clear that Russell's talent for escape is matched only by his knack for getting arrested. One thing always seems to trump Steven Russell's careful planning, cool head, and instinct for self-preservation—love. Russell cannot resist the urge to try and spring the great love of his life—a fellow inmate named Phillip Morris.

In I Love You Phillip Morris, journalist Steve McVicker goes right to the heart of this improbable-but-true story of crime, punishment, and passion. Thanks to unprecedented and exclusive access to Russell, his family, and his friends, he retraces Russell's journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal and jailhouse Houdini. It's the darkly comic tale of a man with a spectacular ability to manipulate almost everyone he meets, yet who is himself helpless in the face of love.”

As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals ‘escape’ in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues proliferate, Teddy begins to doubt everything—his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Screen Media — Starring: James Van Der Beek, John Heard, Wendy Crewson, Will Tiao

Inspired by actual events, FORMOSA BETRAYED is the story of FBI Agent Jake Kelly's (James Van Der Beek) investigation of the brutal murder of a Taiwanese-American professor on U.S. soil. With the help of his partner Tom Braxton (John Heard) and a sharp Chicago police detective (Leslie Hope), Agent Kelly discovers that the murderers have fled to Taiwan.

Agent Kelly is sent overseas to assist the Taiwanese government's search for the killers. Initially guided by an American diplomat (Wendy Crewson) and a Taiwanese official (Tzi Ma), he soon realizes that not only is he an unwelcome guest in a foreign land, but that something more treacherous is happening beneath the surface.

With the help of Ming (Will Tiao), a Taiwanese activist, Agent Kelly discovers the unsettling truth about the island once called Formosa, leading to dangerous and painful consequences. Agent Kelly finds himself on a collision course with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the Republic of China government in Taiwan, where this FBI agent discovers how a complex web of politics, identity, and power affects the lives and destinies of the citizens in all three countries—including his own.

History

Taiwan holds a singular place in history. Passed from conquering nation to conquering nation throughout its early history, several world powers have laid claim on this tiny island. As a result, Taiwan is a nation that struggles to be recognized, sometimes even by its own people, as an independent nation. Perhaps most significant is America's refusal to recognize Taiwan as a nation while protecting its right to democracy from the People's Republic of China government across the Taiwan Strait.

Many films in Hollywood have explored Chinese culture and politics for American audiences, but FORMOSA BETRAYED will be the first to do so from Taiwan's unique political perspective as well as provide an opportunity to glimpse the human story behind Taiwan's struggle for identity on a world stage. FORMOSA BETRAYED focuses on the tragic murder of a Taiwanese professor, killed solely for his courage to speak out for an independent and democratic Taiwan and the ripples of change his death inspired in the people involved in the investigation.

Based on actual events that happened to Taiwanese professors and graduate students throughout the United States in the 1970s and 80s, FORMOSA BETRAYED will expose for the first time the brutal techniques the Republic of China government in Taiwan used to quell dissent in their desire to reunite Taiwan with mainland China.

FORMOSA BETRAYED follows suit in the vein of political thriller films like SYRIANA, HOTEL RWANDA and THE KILLING FIELDS, but in this case shows a unique cultural perspective that has never before been explored or even widely known. Seeking to enlighten a global audience of Taiwan's dark past, FORMOSA BETRAYED hopes to shine a light not only on past wrongs done to Taiwanese activists, but also pique interest and draw attention to the current tumultuous political situation in present day Taiwan.

When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he’s in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed – Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow.

With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.

As the alpha wolf daughter of the western pack leader, Kate is arranged to marry Garth, the alpha wolf son of the eastern pack leader, not for love but to prevent a deadly war between the two packs. But the marriage is put on hold when, unbeknownst to anyone, Kate and Humphrey are taken by park rangers from their home in Jasper Park, Canada and relocated to Sawtooth Park, Idaho.

Desperate to get back in time to marry Garth and prevent war, and battling each other’s different points of view, the long distance and a few bears and porcupines along the way, Kate and Humphrey must work together to make the long journey home to their beloved Jasper Park. But Kate and Humphrey soon discover a new obstacle: somewhere along the way, Kate and Humphrey have fallen in love.

Yari Film Group (YFG) — Starring: Cam Gigandet, Shane West as Tom Craig, Rachael Leigh Cook as Karen Marcus, JC Chasez, Troy Garity, Jason Gray-Stanford, Jacob Vargas / Director: Mario Van Peebles

In the opening days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, hot-stick Navy fighter pilots BUTCH MASTERS and TOM CRAIG are court-martialed and dishonorably discharged when their mission to escort the delivery of the Top-Secret new ‘Rainmaker’ device goes horribly awry. The delivery helicopters are downed and the Rainmakers are lost along with the promising careers of the two pilots.

Now, six years later, Masters is head of the elite VIPER SQUADRON, a civilian adversary force that runs the trainees at Top Gun ragged simulating the best pilots in all the world's air forces. The Vipers, who face down the hottest pilots the Navy can throw at them, are wild, edgy and quite simply the very best.

So it's more than just a coincidence that when the CIA uncovers the Rainmakers in the hands of terrorists based in Iran, they come to Masters and the Vipers to do what the US military could never do… fly Russian-made fighters into Iran and destroy the Rainmakers before they can be used.

With the mission to save millions of lives - and redeem Masters' reputation sabotaged at every turn, it becomes clear that Masters' life is more intertwined with Rainmaker than he ever imagined. In his darkest hour, Masters must turn to his new friend, Russia's greatest pilot, CAPT. YURI AFINOGENOV, commander of the elite RUSSIAN KNIGHTS precision flying team for help.

Together, an elite, mixed squadron of Vipers and Knights must take to the air in their state-of-the-art Russian fighters to face off against a surprise terrorist squadron of ‘borrowed’ Iranian fighters, led by none other than Masters' disillusioned former wingman, Tom Craig, and stop them before they can unleash Rainmaker on Iraq.
