Die Another Day


Rated: PG-13
James Bond�s newest mission begins with a spectacular high-speed hovercraft chase through a minefield in the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea � and the action doesn�t let up until the credits roll. From Hong Kong to Cuba to London, Bond circles the world in his quest to unmask a traitor and prevent a war of catastrophic proportions. On his way he crosses paths with Jinx (Oscar�-winner Halle Berry) and Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike), who will play vital roles in his latest adventure. Hot on the trail of deadly megalomaniac Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) and his ruthless right-hand man Zao (Rick Yune), Bond travels to Iceland into the villain�s lair: a palace built entirely of ice. There he experiences firsthand the power of a new hi-tech weapon. Ultimately it all leads to an explosive confrontation � and an unforgettable conclusion � back in Korea where it all started.

Based on Rebecca Miller�s book of short stories, Personal Velocity tells the affecting stories of three American women struggling to make sense of the lives they�ve found themselves living. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival as well as the Excellence in Cinematography Award. Delia (Kyra Sedgwick) is a young mother stuck in an abusive relationship with her husband of twelve years. One night after he brutally beats her, Delia finally attempts to reclaim some of the power she�s completely lost. Greta (Parker Posey) is a cookbook editor at a crossroads in life, �rotten with ambition� and semi-struggling with issues of fidelity to her kind but unexciting husband. And Paula (Fairuza Balk) is thrust into crisis after having a near-death experience. Driving to her mother�s house in upstate New York, she picks up a hitchhiker, a badly beaten young boy who helps her discover a new sense of spirit. As each story unfolds, each woman finds herself forced to make a decision � a decision that will change her life forever.
