The Newton Boys

Rated: NONE

The true story of America's most successful bank robbers. From 1919 to 1924, they robbed over eighty banks from Texas to Canada, capping their career with America's largest train robbery, a three million dollar mail train heist outside of Chicago. From a poor upbringing as cowboys and cotton farmers the brothers brought their frontier-born "code of the west" into the roaring twenties, considering themselves not gunfighters, but "businessmen." True to their aims, they never killed anyone in spite of the mayhem they caused, stealing "more money than Jesse James, Butch, Sundance, Bonnie and Clyde and the Dalton brothers put together," says leader Willis Newton.

Meet the Deedles

Rated: PG

Teen Hawaiian-surfing dude twins Phil and Stew Deedle (Paul Walker & Steve Van Wormer) get mistaken for Park Ranger recruits and launch into extreme action to save Yellowstone Park from pesky prairie dogs and a vengeful ex-Park Ranger, Frank Slater (Dennis Hopper), who is obsessed with stealing Old Faithful before its billionth birthday celebration.

Wide Awake

Rated: PG

Lately, young Joshua A. Beal (Cross) has been having a hard time just waking up in the morning. Up until now, his life has been all about Batman action figures, Ninja turtle cartoons and Captain Crunch cereal. But not any more. It's the first day of fifth grade, and he's finally decided it's time to wake up and discover life. It's been several months since his beloved grandfather (Loggia) passed away, and while everyone else seems certain his Grandpa is in good hands, Joshua just isn't sure. No one around him, including his parents (Leary, Delany) and his school teacher (O'Donnell), can give him a satisfactory answer.

Storefront Hitchcock

A documentary surrounding Robyn Hitchcock.
