At the Edge of the World

At the Edge of the World


Rated: PG
"At the Edge of the World" chronicles the controversial Sea Shepherd Antarctic Campaign against a Japanese whaling fleet. The international volunteer crew, under-trained and under-equipped, develop a combination of bizarre and brilliant tactics with which to stop the whalers. But first they must find the Japanese ships, a far more difficult challenge than ever imagined - long-time activist Paul Watson and first-time captain Alex Cornelissen employ an array of strategies in the hopes of finding an elusive adversary in the vast expanse of the Ross Sea. With one ship (the Farley Mowat) too slow to chase down the whaling fleet, with their second ship (the Robert Hunter) unsuited for Antarctic ice conditions and with no country supporting their efforts to enforce international law, the situation becomes increasingly desperate. Against all odds, however, a real-life pirate tale unfolds - a modern-day "David vs. Goliath" adventure.
The Open Road

The Open Road


Rated: PG-13
Jeff Bridges, Justin Timberlake and Mary Steenburgen will star in The Open Road, about a young man trying to reconnect with his father, a legendary athlete, as he struggles to get him home to his ailing mother's bedside.
Big Fan

Big Fan


Rated: R
In a startling performance certain to be talked about, comedian Patton Oswalt ("Ratatouille," "King of Queens") makes his dramatic-lead debut as Paul Aufiero, an obsessive New York Giants fan whose chance encounter with his hero unexpectedly ends in violence. The darkly funny drama, which co-stars Kevin Corrigan ("The Departed") and Michael Rapaport ("True Romance"), was lensed by acclaimed cinematographer Michael Simmonds ("Goodbye Solo").
Play the Game

Play the Game


Rated: PG-13
"Play the Game" is a comedy about a young ladies' man, David, who teaches his dating tricks to his lonely, widowed grandfather, and plays his best mind games to meet the woman of his dreams. As Grandpa becomes the Don Juan of the retirement community, David's tricks begin to fail him, and Grandpa must teach David that the best way to win the game of love is not to play games at all. However, both David and Grandpa may have met their match in more ways than one...
Mystery Team

Mystery Team


Rated: R
At age seven, Oakdale's Mystery Team was a band of kid detectives dedicated to solving child-sized mysteries (like who put their finger in the pie, and who stole the tricycle), and the town loved them for it. Now they're eighteen years old, about to graduate from high school, yet they're still storming the playground to bust little kids, and the town of Oakdale is sick to death of it.
Still Walking

Still Walking


Rated: NONE
Beloved director Kore-Eda Hirokazu ("After Life," "Nobody Knows") returns to the forefront of world cinema with "Still Walking" - an exquisitely detailed family drama that shines with warmth and understanding. The film was one of the most critically acclaimed works at the Toronto, Tribeca, and San Francisco International Film Festivals. Lushly photographed, and with an expert script that incorporates elements of director Kore-Eda’s personal experience, "Still Walking" is a quiet pleasure unlike anything else you will see this year.
We Live in Public

We Live in Public


"Dig!" director Ondi Timoner returns to the documentary scene with this look at the dot com exploits and New York City art party escapades of Josh Harris, the man behind the legendary, million dollar millennium party "Quiet." The party, which took place at an abandoned loft manufacturing building on Lower Broadway, featured over 90 Japanese hotel style pods where artists lived, played, worked, and partied. With numerous mini-disco bars throughout and streaming cameras tucked in ever corner, it was the ultimate multi-media bash.
