Rated:NONE The original Zu Warriors, based on a 64-volume novel, was released in 1983. This remake comes complete with massive amounts of state-of-the-art CGI and kick-ass fight choreography from Yuen Wo Ping, whom most know from his work on The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The original film's director, Tsui Hark, is helming this remake, which tells the story of a warrior princess (Crouching Tiger's Zhang Ziyi) who, along with a band of other soldiers, fights a war against an evil warlord.
Rated:R "Undertaking Betty" is an outrageous comedy set in a small Welsh town about a funeral parlor owner (Molina) whose life is about to turn upside down. The woman he's loved since she was a young girl (Blethyn) is about to become available... by staging her own untimely demise! And the business he's always loved is about to come under attack, from a flashy American competitor (Walken), who wants to "put the fun back in funerals" with theme burials, Vegas-style ceremonies and a whole lot of neon lighting. Neither our leading man nor this small town will ever be the same again. "Undertaking Betty" also stars Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts as the hilariously scheming mistress whose diabolical ways add even more fuel to the comedic fire.

Rated:NONE Director Ari Taub set out to make a highly involved WWII movie, an epic undertaking. Producer Curtis Mattikow describes, "It is absolutely 100 percent accurate, more so than 'Saving Private Ryan'... very little is reproduced. While we had some grandiose battles, we realized it was far more important to focus on their humanity" said Mattikow. "Not trying to impress everybody with a lot of explosions." The Fallen" provocatively portrays the differences in values, morals and patriotism between the cultures while exploring the human similarities found in soldiers from all sides. Capturing the feeling of an old newsreel, "The Fallen" exposes the horror and humanity of war while serving as a powerful reminder of current military conflict in Iraq.
Rated:R A new take on Wes Craven's 1977 film of the same name, "The Hills Have Eyes" is the story of a family road trip that goes terrifyingly awry when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone.

Academy Award-winner Robert Towne (“Chinatown,” “Tequila Sunrise”) writes and directs “Ask the Dust,” set under the brutally sunny skies of Depression-era Los Angeles. Based on novelist John Fante’s masterpiece, Towne’s interpretation of Ask the Dust focuses on a city exotic and vulgar, glamorous and raunchy – a place of heat and dust. Full of imports – palm trees from Egypt and people from everywhere in search of health and wealth, fame and fortune – L. A. is the city of first and last resort, where all dreams are supposed to come true. So it is for Arturo Bandini (Colin Farrell), a son of Italian immigrants who dreams of becoming a famous novelist and marrying a beautiful blonde, and Camilla Lopez (Salma Hayek), a Mexican who longs to marry a WASP and shed her last name. In a time when relations between Anglos and people of Mexican descent hang by tattered threads, Bandini and Camilla collide with one another, fighting the city and themselves to make their dreams come true.
Rated:R Flama and Moko are fourteen years old; they have been best friends since they were kids. They have everything they need to survive yet another boring Sunday: an apartment without parents, videogames, porn magazines, soft drinks and pizza delivery. The electricity company, Rita, the neighbor, Ulises, a pizza deliveryman, eleven seconds, the Real Madrid-Manchester game, some chocolate brownies and a horrible painting of ducks, all combine to break the harmony of what promised to be a placid Sunday, and reveal issues such as the parents' divorce, loneliness, the confusion between adolescent love and friendship, as well as frustration in adult life. "Temporada de Patos" is a movie that shows that, when the lights go off, we can see the stars.

Rated:R On the eve of the opening of his newest play playwright Nicky Rogan (Michael Keaton) is fixated on failure. But not without reason. As Rogan's day begins, his marriage is in shambles, his lead actor has a parasite in his brain causing him to forget his lines, there is asbestos in the air, and he is terrified of the feared critic Steven Schwimmer (Robert Downey Jr.) who is so hated that he's taken to carrying a gun to the theatre.
All of this and it just so happens to be October 25, 1986. A day that every Red Sox fan will never forget. And Nicky Rogan has been a die hard Red Sox fan forever.
Rated:NONE After being expelled from his school for violent behavior, Erik is sent to a private boarding school where the elder students lord over the underclassmen.
