Director: Ang Lee
Distributor: Focus Features
Starring:Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Tang Wei, Joan Chen


Trailers




Synopsis

Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee takes the helm for this adaptation of an Eileen Chang story set in World War II-era Shanghai and detailing the political intrigue that surrounds a powerful political figure named Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). The year is 1942, and the Japanese continue to occupy Shanghai. As the sophicticated Mrs. Mak enters a café, she places a call, sets at a table, and allows her memory to drift back to 1938. Back then, Mrs. Mak was known as Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei). Wong was a shy college freshman whose father had recently fled to England. At the university, Wong makes the acquaintance of fellow student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom) - who has founded a drama society at the school in order to encourage patriotism. It doesn't take long before talented actress Wong becomes the troupe's leading lady, her soulful performances inspiring to both the theater audience and the smitten Kuang. But Kuang isn't just a theater maven - he's a revolutionary as well. Recently, Kuang has assembled a core group of students in order to carry out a bold plan to assassinate top Japanese collaborator Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). Each student will have an important role to play, with Wong once again stepping into the spotlight as leading lady Mrs. Mak. The plan is for Mrs. Mak to befriend Mr. Yee's wife (Joan Chen), and slowly gain the collaborator's trust before tempting him into an affair. While at first the plan goes exactly as scripted, things suddenly take a deadly turn and Wong is forced to abandon her role and emigrate from Hong Kong. Later, in 1941, the occupation shows no signs of ceasing and Wong is simply drifting through her days. Much to her surprise, the former actress finds Kuang requesting that she once again assume the role of Mrs. Mak. Kuang is now part of an organized resistance movement, and Mr. Yee has recently become head of the collaborationist secret service - making him a key member of the puppet government. Now, as Wong once again assumes the role of Mrs. Mak in order to gain intimate access to her dangerous prey, she must struggle with her own identity in order to pull off the performance of a lifetime.

After his 13-year-old sister is abducted by sex-traffickers, a determined Mexican teen travels from the barrios of Mexico City to a run-down stash house in New Jersey in a desperate attempt to rescue the frightened girl before she is swallowed whole by one of the criminal underworld's darkest secrets. Jorge's (Cesar Ramos) adolescent sister Adriana (Paulina Gaitan) has been kidnapped and thrust into a lucrative underground trade in which young girls are bought and sold to the highest bidder. Now, as the terrified youngster is herded through a complex network of underground tunnels leading into the United States, her only ally is a Polish woman named Veronica (Alicja Bachleda) who has been tricked into the trade by the same nefarious gang. After circumventing immigration officers and eventually working his way across the border, the desperate Jorge comes into contact with a Texas lawman named Ray (Kevin Kline) whose own devastating personal loss to sex-traffickers causes him to join the search for Adriana. In the dark days that follow, Jorge and Ray form a close bond as they witness the horrors of a secret Internet sex slave auction and discover just how far the depths of human depravity can plunge while attempting to maintain hope that brother and sister will one day be reunited.

The Last Winter
   Genre: Action,Horror
Released: September 19, 2007
Director: Larry Fessenden
Distributor: IFC First Take
Starring:Ron Perlman, James LeGros, Connie Britton






Synopsis

As preparation gets underway for the construction of an environmentally devastating oil well in a remote Alaskan base just outside the Arctic Circle, a series of unexplainable occurrences lead a team of adventurers to believe that something supernatural may be afoot in director Larry Fessenden's chilly snowbound thriller. Pollack (Ron Perlman) is the ultra-macho leader of a team of adventurers that include his former lover Abby (Connie Britton), pot-smoking mechanic Motor (Kevin Corrigan), and inexperienced newcomer-cum-fortunate son Maxwell (Zach Gilford). When research scientists Hoffman (James Le Gros) and Elliot (Jamie Harrold) arrive to assess the environmental impact of the proposed project, Pollack's unmasked contempt for the pair's stalling of the project immediately creates dissent among the group. As emotions boil to the breaking point and cabin fever begins to take hold, Maxwell's increasingly strange behavior is initially contributed to the blinding white barrenness of the region that has been known to fast wear thin the fortitude of even experienced men. There's more to Maxwell's midnight wanderings and incoherent mumblings that meets the eye though, because as the outside temperature begins to rise during the dead of winter and the team members begin to experience fleeting visions out of the corner of their eyes, it begins to appear as if mother nature may be voicing her opposition to the proposed pillaging of her luminous white landscape.

In the Shadow of the Moon
   Genre: Documentary
Released: September 7, 2007
Director: David Sington
Distributor: ThinkFilm
Starring:Charlie Duke, Capt. James Lovell, Buzz Aldrin




Synopsis

Filmmaker David Sington merges the magnificence of science with the compelling drama of the human quest for advancement with this compelling and visually stunning meditation on the historic Apollo space program. In the four remarkable years between 1968 and 1972, American history took a defining turn as nine NASA spacecraft made the trip to the moon, and twelve bold explorers became the first men ever to set foot on ground beyond planet Earth. In this documentary, space enthusiast Sington allows the surviving crew members from each Apollo mission the unique opportunity to recount their memories of those missions in their own words as vintage, original NASA film footage offers a tantalizing glimpse of this extraordinary era in American history. Candid interviews with the astronauts reveal the sensitive and fun-loving souls whose fearlessness would lead a nation into a new era of progress, and audio recordings from Mission Control lend a newfound sense of poignancy to a variety of oft-recounted historical milestones.

Synopsis

Actor turned director and producer Griffin Dunne (Practical Magic, Addicted to Love) teams up with scenarist Dick Wittenborn for the slice-of-life ensemble drama Fierce People. As summer encroaches, 16-year-old Manhattanite Finn Earl (Anton Yelchin) would love nothing more than to trek off to South America and spend the year's sun-drenched months near the equator, embarking on thrilling adventures with his estranged archaeologist father, whom he's never met. Alas, the bonds of family rein in tight when Finn's booze and coke-addled mother, the masseuse Liz (Diane Lane), cries out for help - and, in the process, unwittingly gets Finn arrested. In a dramatic attempt to reverse circumstances and sort out the complications in both of their lives, Liz insists on taking custody of Finn for the summer. Both, she insists, will live in the home of one of her former massage clients, the aging billionaire Ogden C. Osbourne (Donald Sutherland) - with whom she may be amorously involved. Though Finn agrees begrudgingly at first, in time he finds the environment welcoming - as he develops a crush on Ogden's gorgeous granddaughter (Kristen Stewart) and befriends Ogden's grandson. But when an unforeseen and shocking act of violence erupts, it estranges Finn and Liz from their posh surroundings and provides a sobering, harrowing reminder of the socioeconomic differences between the Earls and their new friends.

Starring:Joel David Moore, Tamara Feldman, Deon Richmond




Synopsis

A handful of college students looking for a good time are thrown into a world of danger in this homage to the slasher film cycle of the 1970s and '80s. Ben (Joel David Moore) has just been given his walking papers by his girlfriend and is deeply depressed. Needing a pick-me-up, Ben and his friend Marcus (Deon Richmond) head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and take in a "Haunted Swamp Tour," with master of ceremonies Shawn (Parry Shen) guiding guests through a spooky patch of bayou country. Along the way, Ben and Marcus meet a pair of half-bright exotic dancers, Misty (Mercedes McNab) and Jenna (Joleigh Fioreavanti), as well as Marybeth (Tamara Feldman), a pretty girl who is secretive about her past. As they tour the swamp, Shawn tells his customers about the local legend of Victor Crowley, a deformed man who was taunted by the other children living near the swamp until he was nearly bludgeoned with an axe by his father while trying to open the door of their burning shack. While Ben and Marcus don't think much of the story at first, it doesn't take long before they have serious reason to believe Victor Crowley is still at large -- and is looking to settle some old scores.

Starring:Jeff Garlin, Sarah Silverman, Bonnie Hunt

Synopsis

Jeff Garlin, best known for his role as Larry David's manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm, has directed standup comedy specials for Jon Stewart and Denis Leary, and makes his feature-film debut with his own adaptation of his one-man stage show, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With. Garlin stars as James, an overweight, depressed actor who does improve at Second City. James lives with his mother (Mina Kolb) and constantly cheats on his diet. His life seems to be in a downward spiral. He quits his acting job on a sleazy prank show, his girlfriend (Rebecca Sage Allen) breaks up with him, and his agent (Richard Kind) dumps him. When he visits his friend's daughter's elementary school for Career Day, he embarrasses himself in front of the attractive teacher (Bonnie Hunt) by rambling inappropriately about his personal problems in front of the kids. He hears about a Chicago-based remake of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty, one of his favorite movies, and the role he seemingly was born to play, but he can't even get an audition. One day, after giving up on Compulsive Eaters Anonymous, he seeks solace in an ice cream parlor, where he meets Beth (Sarah Silverman), who quickly wins his heart by offering him free ice cream, and asking him a sexually provocative question. But his attraction to the sexually aggressive and somewhat demented Beth may bring James more problems than it solves. The film, which features appearances by Amy Sedaris, Dan Castellaneta, Wallace Langham, Roger Bart, Paul Mazursky, David Pasquesi, and Joey Slotnick, had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival
