Rated:R In the final days of Marcus Aurelius' reign, the aging emperor arouses his son Commodus' anger when he makes known his wish that Maximus be his successor. Power-hungry Commodus kills his father and orders the death of Maximus. But the latter flees and hides his identity by becoming slave and a gladiator. Eventually, Maximus journeys back to Rome to confront his arch-rival.
Rated:PG-13 I Dreamed of Africa is inspired by the true story of the indomitable Kuki Gallmann, a beautiful, inquisitive woman who had the courage to escape from her comfortable yet monotonous life in Italy to start anew in the wilds of Africa with her son Emanuele (Liam Aiken, Stepmom) and her new husband Paolo (Vincent Perez).
Though first in awe of the incredible power of nature and sense of freedom in the wide open Kenyan countryside, Kuki soon discovers that life in rural Africa is not a fairy tale existence. Wild elephants and lions roam the land unhindered, devastating storms destroy all in their path and desperate poachers ruthlessly murder endangered animals. Yet through the most trying of setbacks, Kuki emerges as resilient, filled with the strength and desire to take on life lovingly and fearlessly.
Rated:R For Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina and Moff, the dead-end jobs they endure during the week just kill the time until Friday night arrives. That's when they cut very loose and get on the crazy rollercoaster ride that takes them right through to Monday morning. An adrenaline-pumped comedy, Human Traffic chronicles the ups and downs - both chemical and emotional - of five friends whose weekends are filled with endless clubbing, pubbing and partying where there are no rules, no limits and no saying no.
Rated:PG-13 The story of an impulsive sexual encounter which spirals into tragedy, theft, blackmail, and, eventually, redemptive love, Philip Haas' Up at the Villa is set amidst the deceptive beauty of Florence and Tuscany during the rise of Fascism on the eve of World War II. Although a period piece, it tells the resolutely contemporary story of a woman's journey from innocence to self-knowledge.
