SEX
AND THE CITY

| FEATURING:
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon |
||
| Sex and the City is coming to the big screen in a feature film adaptation of the hit HBO television series.

Genre: Comedy
/ Romance |
||
| Available in Digital format! | ||
|
The movie is just
like a half-season of the series -- a funny, sappy, clumsy, crude, rambunctious,
argumentative, gleefully vulgar attempt to balance the fantasy of romance
with the reality that the fantasy is impossible. |

the worst of another Eddie Murphy vehicle involving extraterrestrials

THE HAPPENING | |
| FEATURING:
Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, Ashlyn Sanchez, Betty Buckley |
||
| From director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) comes a lightning-paced, heart-pounding paranoid thriller about a family on the run from an inexplicable and unstoppable event that threatens not only humankind . . . but the most basic human instinct of them all: survival. | ||

It almost dares you
to roll your eyes or laugh at certain scenes that are supposed to be deadly
serious. But, you know what, I appreciated this creatively offbeat, daring
sci-fi mind-trip. Shyamalan's approach
is more effective than smash-and-grab plot-mongering. His use of the landscape
is disturbingly effective. The performances by Wahlberg and Deschanel
bring a quiet dignity to their characters. The Happening is a
divertingly goofy thriller with an animistic bent, moments of shivery
and twitchy suspense and a solid lead performance from Mark Wahlberg. |

NOISE

| FEATURING:
Tim Robbins, Bridget Moynahan, William Hurt, Margarita Levieva, Gabrielle Brennan |
||
| David is a successful lawyer who can't stand the fact that Manhattan is a place where it's too noisy to get a good night's sleep, listen to classical music, or even make love to his wife without disturbance. Every time David hears a car alarm going off, he swings into action. Adopting the guise of "The Rectifier," he engages in acts of vandalism that satisfy him, but which generate no end of grief from his wife. They also make him politically controversial when he provokes the ire of the city's mayor. | ||

JACK AND JILL VS THE WORLD | |
| FEATURING: Freddie Prinze Jr., Taryn Manning, Vanessa Parise, Kelly Rowan, Peter Stebbings | ||
| Jack is a 30-something ambitious advertising man. He is successful and stylish... and entirely bored. Then, he meets Jill. Fiery, independent, and adorable, Jill enters Jack's life like a hurricane when they meet by chance on a rooftop and move in together as roommates by day’s end. She is perfect for him – the first woman he’s met who doesn’t want to get serious. As best friends, Jack and Jill begin their own cultural revolution with a playful manifesto of “rules to live by”. Even Jack’s cynical best friend, George, notices a happier side to Jack’s personality, and wants to meet the woman causing the positive change in his friend. But there are storm clouds brewing, as Jill's free-spirited nature begins to cause some friction. She disappears for days at a time, and when she returns, she won’t tell Jack where she’s been. When Jack thinks Jill is hiding a secret, George reminds him that it’s not his business what she does - he wanted a roommate, not a girlfriend. For the first time, Jack must come to terms with his feelings – about what he wants for his life and how he really feels about Jill. | ||

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM | |
| FEATURING:
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michael Angarano, Crystal Liu, Collin Chou |
||
| Based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, the film begins in modern-day Boston. There, while teenage kung-fu flick enthusiast Jason (Michael Angarano) is buying bootleg DVDs from his favorite shopkeeper, Old Hop, he is drawn to an ancient golden staff. When a local bully forces weakling Jason to help rob Old Hop, Jason escapes with the staff and is magically transported to ancient China. He is soon rescued from the forces of the Jade Warlord by Lu Yan (Jackie Chan), a raggedy wanderer whose wine-guzzling ways conceal his kung-fu mastery. Yan reveals the truth of the staff, and that Jason is the fabled Seeker who must return it to the Monkey King to prevent the warlord's evil plans. The two are joined in their quest by a kung-fu master, Silent Monk (Jet Li), and a beautiful orphan (Liu Yifei) who harbors her own personal vendetta. Despite their differences, the two masters teach Jason the ways of the kung-fu warrior. And when Lu Yan is gravely wounded by the warlord's sexy assassin, Jason must bring his newfound skills and courage to bear if he is to save one world and return to his own. Choreographed by action impresario Woo-ping Yuen (The Matrix, Kill Bill) and shot on location in China, Forbidden Kingdom is an appealing family adventure about the importance of working together and the value of believing in one's abilities. | ||

| India
has rarely looked so beautiful onscreen. Against the anguish of his human
characters, director Santosh Sivan juxtaposes a tranquil, green world in
the hills of the southwestern state of Keralain 1937, 10 years before independence. Philip Marchand Toronto Star Rahul Bose has a winning presence -- eager with a touch of wariness or wary with a touch of eagerness, and never entirely at home. He keeps the movie from seeming too comfy -- a good thing. David Edelstein New York Magazine Director Santosh Sivan imparts a vastness and a sense of wonder to the film, qualities reminiscent of a Thomas Cole painting: They remind you why the Brits thought conquering India was a good idea in the first place.
