The Ugly Truth
Katherine Heigl further cements her reputation as one of film's most
dazzling, and go-to, romantic comedy heroines. In The Ugly Truth she
brings her deft comic timing and true vulnerability to a film that avoids
clichés, successfully, all the way until the surprising, quiet end.
Heigl's partner in crime and at first, in pure hatred is the rakishly
charming Gerard Butler. Heigl plays Abby, a career-bound TV producer, and
Butler is Mike, an outrageous dude's dude whose public access show about
what men want (one thing only) makes him so popular that he's hired to
work alongside Abby, who naturally chafes at everything Mike stands for.
Yet The Ugly Truth could not be more unpredictable, and men as well as
women will like the refreshing story line and the crisp direction by
Robert Luketic. Both lead actors put their all into their performances,
and the nuance and depth makes The Ugly Truth not just a great date-night
film, but a testament on the primal human urge simply to connect.

Hamlet 2 Much like the inspired protagonists of his two favourite
movies, DEAD POETS SOCIETY and MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS, high school drama
teacher Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) is going to save the arts. Marschz's
first obstacle: Shakespeare killed off all the major characters when he
wrote Hamlet, which puts a damper on his plans for a musical sequel.
Luckily, Marschz has an ingenious literary device to circumvent that last
doozy: a time machine built in woodshop that will catapult Hamlet and his
new pal, Jesus Christ, into the present day and back again just in time to
save Gertrude, Laertes, and the gang. This brilliant piece of theatre is
born in the mind of Marschz upon the announcement of the drama club's
impending cancellation, prompting the failed actor to take the advice of a
ruthless freshman drama critic and finally write something that isn't an
adaptation of ERIN BROCKOVICH. But when authorities try to have the
production banned because of its offensive material, it's going to take
the inspiration of actress-turned-local-nurse Elisabeth Shue (playing
herself), the will of Marschz's young students, and the wiles of a feisty
lawyer (Amy Poehler) to get Hamlet 2 in front of an audience.

Madagascar 2 All the loveable characters are back Alex the lion,
Marty the zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien,
Maurice and the penguins in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” Left
marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched
a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins
have repaired an old crashed plane – sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely
crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of
all the vast plains of Africa itself where our zoo raised crew encounters
species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their
roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle
and the heart of Africa. Despite long lost relatives, romantic rivals and
scheming hunters, Africa seems like a “crack-a-lackin” great place…but
is it better than their Central Park home?

Diane Keaton, Katie Holmes, and Queen Latifah headline director Callie
Khouri's second feature film. Nina (Latifah) and Jackie (Holmes) are two
of many employees with mundane jobs at the high security Kansas City
Federal Reserve Bank. Their lives change forever when career mom Bridget
(Diane Keaton) takes a job there as a cleaning woman after learning that
she and her downsized husband, Don (Ted Danson), are hundreds of thousands
of dollars in debt. Being surrounded by stacks and stacks of money is too
much for Bridget to bear, and she corrals Nina and Jackie into taking the
biggest risk of their lives: sneaking out of the bank, money that is
removed from circulation and about to be shredded. Amazingly, their scheme
works, and soon the three are fast friends and the cash is piling up. But
will they ever have enough 'mad money,' or will greed be their downfall?
The fun here is in how three average women pull off a remarkably low tech
scam in the midst of super high security levels, hidden cameras, and

Blindness
Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (CITY OF GOD) brings Jose
Saramago's much-loved novel BLINDNESS to the screen with this ambitious
adaptation. Like Saramago's book, Meirelles chooses to forfeit names for
his characters, instead spinning BLINDNESS around the plight of a doctor
and his wife (Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore). A blindness epidemic
strikes an unnamed city, forcing the government to put many citizens in
quarantine, including Ruffalo's doctor. Unable to conceive of life without
him, Moore's character feigns blindness and joins him in the grimy
high-security institution where visually impaired citizens are kept. Their
attempt to survive in the rotting facility, which quickly falls into
disrepair and chaos, forms the backbone of Meirelles's movie. There's a
twist in the tale as Ruffalo and Moore's characters struggle to lead the
blind to a place where they can come to terms with their condition, and
Meirelles makes the journey deeply unsettling. An impressive cast ably
backs Ruffalo and Moore, including Danny Glover, Gael Garcia Bernal, and
Alice Braga.

Cass
CASS is the incredible true story of one man’s identity struggle and
ultimate redemption. The film follows how a Jamaican orphan baby, adopted
by an elderly white couple in 1950's London, changed from being the most
feared hooligan in the country to Britain’s best selling black author.
CASS grew up in a time before political correctness and as a young child,
was forced to endure racist bullying on a daily basis. One fateful day the
pent up years of anger surfaced in an explosive burst of violence and from
then on, CASS decided he would never be bullied again. Through violence,
CASS found the respect he had never had, but he’d become addicted to the
buzz of fighting and the power it ultimately gave him. As a boyhood fan of
West Ham United, CASS rose through the ranks to become the leader of their
hooligan gang, The Intercity Firm (The ICF). Being a six foot five black
man in a predominantly white social sphere, CASS was an instantly
recognisable target for his adversaries and the authorities. CASS was
eventually given the first long term prison sentence for football related
violence, when the Thatcher regime made it their main priority to rid the
country of the ‘English disease’.

Street Kings
Burnt-out Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), is a functioning alcoholic and
undisciplined detective with the Special Vice Unit. While this loose
cannon in no way does things by the book, he is also far from playing by
his own rules. Ludlow is relied upon by the other detectives in the unit,
and by their almost maniacally ambitious Captain Wander (Forest Whitaker),
to go outside the law whenever needed. The infractions he is pressured to
commit are quickly and uncomplainingly covered up by Captain Wander, while
Ludlow and the rest of Special Vice receive accolades for their high
clearance rate. Not until one of these cover-ups leads to the brutal
murder of his ex-partner (Terry Crews) does Ludlow try to dispel the
apathy (and the vodka fumes) clouding his purpose. This procedural
melodrama is almost completely internalized within the LAPD, as Vice cops
investigate Narcotics cops, who snitch on Homicide cops, and no one talks
to Internal Affairs, etc. Crimes are staged, executed, and pinned firmly
on suspects with alarming efficiency as the necessary DNA, murder weapons,
and fingerprints are then sprinkled around the scenes after the fact.
