In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria, Virginia. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test. In what was a potentially volatile situation with far reaching consequences, a black coach - Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) - was brought up from South Carolina and hired as head coach of the T.C. Williams High Titans over Bill Yoast (Will Patton), a white coach with several years seniority and a steadfast following.
As Boone and Yoast learned to work together, they found they had much more than football in common. Both were men of integrity and honor, with a strong work ethic. Although from vastly different backgrounds, these two coaches not only molded a group of angry, unfocused boys into a dynamic, winning team, but helped to guide them into becoming responsible, caring young men. Their determination to work together and win was a triumph of the spirit and brought together a town torn by prejudice and intolerance; their love of the game initiated a lifelong friendship. |

BEAUTIFUL is a wry comic tale about how making your dreams come true can sometimes ruin your fife. It's the story of Mona Hibbard, a woman who is so fiercely determined to be absolutely irresistible that she becomes completely unbearable. It's also the story about the funny, hopeful and sometimes outrageous ways in which American notions ofbeauty and success conflict with how life and families really happen. |

Christopher Guest, who made Waiting for Guffman and co-wrote and co-starred in This Is Spinal Tap, returns with another mockumentary, this time set in the comically cutthroat world of dog show competition (as if a straight documentary on the subject wouldn't be funny enough). Expect the fancy canines to take a back seat to their pompous owners when the scratching and clawing for first prize starts. |

In the palm-shaded oasis of West Hollywood, we meet Dennis, a promising photographer. As he prepares to celebrate his twenty-eighth birthday, he laments, ' I can't decide if my friends are the best or worse thing that ever happened to me.' The gang includes Benji, the punkish innocent with a penchant for gym bodies; Howie, the psychology grad student who thinks too much and lives too little; Cole, the charismatic actor who accidentally keeps stealing everybody's guy; Patrick, the cynical quipster, and Taylor, resident drama queen, who, until recently, prided himself on his long-term relationship. Providing sage advice and steady work is Jack, the beloved patriarch whose restaurant is a haven for them all. When tragedy strikes the group, the friendships are put to the test. |

Girlfight is a fierce rites of passage story about a quick-tempered young woman, Diana Guzman (Michelle Rodriguez) who lives in the Brooklyn projects with her dismissive father Sandro (Paul Calderon) and younger brother Tiny (Ray Santiago). Diana witnesses generations of families who never move beyond the confines of their small world. She has nothing to lose - or gain - by not controlling her violent temper. For Diana, it's hit or be hit, and she'd much rather be the one packing the punch. Diana finds discipline, self-respect and love in the most unlikely place - a boxing ring. |
