Light It Up

Light It Up


Rated: R
A neglected high school in Queens, New York. A favorite teacher is suspended. Suddenly, six disparate students - a student council member, a punk-rocker, a hustler, a star basketball player, a gangbanger and a gifted artist - are bound together in a battle none of them ever imagined they would fight. The students barricade themselves inside the school. As the police, media and eyes of the country zero in on the sensational crisis, the students realize for the first time in their young lives that their voices might actually be heard. The question then becomes, What do they have to say?

Dogma

Dogma


Rated: R
Two renegade fallen angels attempt to jerry-rig the entire cosmological system -- unless a rag-tag group of humans can stop them. Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck) are searching for a way out of everlasting exile in Wisconsin when they stumble upon the perfect return-to-paradise plan: a loophole in church dogma that will allow them to re-enter Heaven if they pass under the blessed arch of a New Jersey cathedral. There's only one minor drawback: should they succeed, they'll also obliterate all human existence. So it is that the fate of the world comes to rest upon a woman who just happens to be having a crisis of faith. Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), the heroine, is a woman who feels her prayers haven't been answered when, out of nowhere, a heralding angel appears in her bedroom and declares her the potential savior of humanity. This abrupt meeting sets her off on an extraordinary journey of mystery, comedy and suspense as she is transported to a fantastical world of celestial characters and spirited adventure. Along the way she will meet up with a heaven-sent messenger (Alan Rickman), an apostle with a 2,000 year old beef (Chris Rock), a hotheaded demon (Jason Lee), a heavenly Muse (Salma Hayek) and two unlikely Prophets known as Jay and Silent Bob as they each discover the power of their own individual faith.
The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc


Rated: R
Mystic, maiden, martyr - whatever you choose to call her, it is difficult to dispute that Joan of Arc led a remarkably accomplished life for a peasant girl who never went to school ... and never saw her 20th birthday. At 17, she delivered an extraordinary message to her Dauphin and, two months later, led her army to victory over the English at Orleans. At 18, she was captured and sold to her most hated enemies. At 19, she was declared a witch and burned at the stake. Twenty-five years later, she was pronounced innocent. In 1920, she was canonized a saint, cemented into icon status, assured to be a subject of passionate debate forever.
