Rated:PG-13 Based on Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, Hours draws on the life and work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of three women: Woolf, who is portrayed in the throes of writing Mrs. Dalloway and contemplating suicide; Laura Brown, a young wife and mother in the suffocating confines of her tidy little life in Los Angeles in 1949; and Clarissa Vaughn, who is giving a party in the present in New York for her closest friend, Richard, an award-winning writer dying of AIDS.
Rated:PG-13 EARL (Martin Lawrence) and HANK (Steve Zahn) have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards.
Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by NASH (Eric Roberts) and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D. - led by LT. WASHINGTON (Bill Duke) and DETECTIVE McDUFF (Colm Feore). What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first.

Rated:R The main character in Cidade de Deus is not a person. It is a place. Cidade de Deus is a poor housing project started in the 60's that became one of the most dangerous places in Rio de Janeiro by the beginning of the 80's. In order to tell the story of the place the film tells us the stories of many characters. But all is seen through the eyes of the narrator: Busca-Pi, a poor black kid too frail and scared to become an outlaw but also to smart to be content with an underpaid job. He grows up in a very violent environment. The odds are all against him. But he discovers he can see the reality with a different eye: the eye of an artist. Eventually he becomes a professional photographer. That is his redemption... Buscapi is not the real protagonist of the film. He is not the one who makes the story moves on [sic]. He is not the one who makes the decisions that will determine the main chain of events. Nevertheless, not only his life is attached to what happens in the story but it is also through his perspective of life that we understand the humanity of a world apparently condemned to endless violence.
Rated:R Based upon the memoir by the same name, this comical biography chronicles the life of Chucks Barris (Sam Rockwell), the man who created The Dating Game and hosted The Gong Show, and who was rumored ? only half-jokingly ? to have led a double life as an assassin for the CIA. The movie marks the directorial debut of George Clooney.
Rated:NONE Subtitled, "A Chronicle of Love and Pain," Divine Intervention follows ES, is a character played by and clearly based upon the filmmaker himself. ES is burdened with a sick father, a stalled screenplay and an unrequited love affair with a beautiful Palestinian woman (Manal Khader) living in Ramallah. An Israeli checkpoint on the Nazareth-Ramallah road forces the couple to rendezvous in an adjacent parking lot. Their relationship and the absurd situations around them serve as metaphors for the lunacy of larger cultural problems, and the result is palpable, bottled personal and political rage.
Rated:R This is a true story, set in Palermo in 1984, of the Sicilian "trophy wife", Angela (Finocchiaro) of a powerful (and much older) member of the mafia (Pupella) who becomes involved in her husband's drug dealing business which operates under the cover of her popular shoe store. Ultimately, Angela falls in love with one of her husband's underlings (Di Stefano), creating a dangerous love triangle.
