The Forgotten


Rated: PG-13
A single mother, Telly Paretta (Moore), whose 8-year-old son has recently disappeared during an airplane crash (and whom she fears might be dead), seeks the help of a psychiatrist to cope with the pain of her grief, only to be told that her son is merely a figment of her imagination, with her mind making up eight years of false memories. When she meets a father (West) who has had another similar experience with his own disappearing daughter recently, the two team up to try to find the answers behind what appears to be some sort of otherworldly case of mass kidnapping (by aliens? or... something else?).
The Motorcycle Diaries

The Motorcycle Diaries


Rated: R
Based on the respective diaries of two Argentines, Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (who would later become known as "El Che") and Alberto Granado, the new film from award-winning director Walter Salles follows a journey of self-discovery, tracing the origins of a revolutionary heart and unveiling the rich and complex human and social topography of the Latin American continent. In January 1952, Ernesto and Alberto set out on a road trip to discover the real Latin America. Ernesto (Gael Garca Bernal) is a 23-year-old medical student specializing in leprology, and Alberto (Rodrigo de la Serna) is a 29-year-old biochemist. With a highly romantic sense of adventure, the two friends leave their familiar Buenos Aires surroundings on a rickety 1939 Norton 500. Although the bike breaks down in the course of their eight-month journey, they press onward, hitching rides along the way. As they begin to see a different Latin America in the people they meet on the road, the diverse geography they encounter begins to reflect their own shifting perspectives. They continue to the heights of Machu Picchu, where the majestic ruins and the extraordinary significance of the Inca heritage have a profound impact on the young men. As they arrive at a leper colony deep in the Peruvian Amazon, the two are beginning to question the value of progress as defined by economic systems that leave so many people beyond reach. Their experiences at the colony awaken within them the men they will later become by defining the ethical and political journey that they will take in their lives.
September Tapes

September Tapes


Rated: R
SEPTEMBER TAPES is a rare and controversial look behind the scenes of war-torn Afghanistan, where documentary filmmaker Don Larson traveled to the troubled country six months after 9/11 and followed a bounty hunter on the trail of Osama bin Laden. Much of the film's footage was held by the US Department of Defense after Larson went missing in Afghanistan. It is the first non-Afghani film shot in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban, and it is also the first feature shot in an active war zone.

The Last Shot

The Last Shot


Rated: R
Based on the true story of the greatest motion picture never made, “The Last Shot” shows how everybody – even the FBI – can get caught up in the allure, glamour, and glitz of Hollywood. Straight shooter agent Joe Devine (ALEC BALDWIN) has been assigned to cook up an elaborate scheme to take down infamous mob boss John Gotti. He assumes the role of a Hollywood producer and tells all the right lies to enlist a stooge to help execute his sting. He finds unsuspecting wannabe director Steven Schatz (MATTHEW BRODERICK), who’d do just about everything to get the chance to direct a “feature.” Schatz falls hook, line, and sinker for the pitch, but what Devine doesn’t tell Schatz is that the movie will never be made. Everything goes according to plan…until Devine and the suits at the Bureau start enjoying their new lives as “Hollywood players” a bit too much. Washington meets Hollywood and law enforcement takes a back seat to moviemaking in this hilarious comedy featuring an amazing ensemble cast including Calista Flockhart, Toni Collette, Joan Cusack, Tim Blake Nelson, Tony Shalhoub, and Ray Liotta.
The Yes Men

The Yes Men


Rated: R
The Yes Men is a comic, biting, and revelatory documentary directed by the filmmaking team behind the acclaimed Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winner American Movie. The Yes Men follows The Yes Men, a small group of prankster-activists, as they gain worldwide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on television and at business conferences around the world. The film begins when two members of The Yes Men, Andy and Mike, set up a website that mimics the World Trade Organization?s and it?s mistaken for the real thing. They play along with the ruse and soon find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives. Delighted to represent the organization they politically oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly comic satire that highlights the worst aspects of global free trade.
Infernal Affairs

Infernal Affairs


Rated: R

In Cantonese with English subtitles.
Rick

Rick


Rated: R
From best-selling children's author, Daniel Handler (aka "Lemony Snicket"), comes a morally reprehensible movie that's definitely not for children. It's a fairy tale of New York all about internet porn, carnivorous capitalism and cold-blooded murder, just in time for the holiday season. Meet Rick (Pullman). Trapped in an upper management job that's paid him buckets of cash in exchange for his soul, he's dominated by a boss who's a third his age, adrift on a sea of corporate testosterone, brutalizing his employees every time he opens his mouth. His only connection to humanity is his daughter, Eve (Bruckner), who's growing up and drifting away from her dad, downing before-dinner cocktails and cruising older men on the internet. Like all of us, Rick has given the best years of his life to a company that couldn't care less, he's alienated from the people he loves, and he faces daily humiliation. And like all of us, he gets through the day by contemplating revenge on those he blames for his failed life. Unlike us, however, Rick not only has revenge's business card, he's been offered a promotional discount.
