Charles Bronson stars in this feature film. Original theatrical trailer is included. Vince Majestyk, an ex-con and Vietnam vet, finds his efforts to run a legitimate business thwarted at every turn by both the Mafia and the police. When he finally reaches the limit of his patience, he takes up his rifle and hunts down his tormentors.
Vietnam vet and ex-con Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson) just wants to live quietly on his Colorado farm, where he hires migrant pickers to harvest his melon crop. When he won't replace them with pickers provided by small-time racketeer Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo), Kopas threatens him with a rifle. Vince disarms him and drives him off. However, Kopas files a complaint, and Vince is arrested. He's being taken to court with Mafia hit man Frank Renda (Al Lettieri) when the police bus transporting them is ambushed. In the confusion, Vince drives off with the still-handcuffed Renda. He offers to return Renda if the police will let him finish harvesting his melons, but Renda escapes with help from his girlfriend, Wiley (the cooly beautiful Lee Purcell). Still in trouble with the police, Vince now has a hit man seeking revenge as well.
MR. MAJESTYK pits the taciturn Bronson against the volatile Lettieri. Intricately plotted by master crime novelist Elmore Leonard, directed by veteran Richard Fleischer, and shot on location in Colorado, MR. MAJESTYK is notable for its action set pieces, especially the beautifully shot and edited ambush of the police bus and the quirky machine gun assault on Vince's melons.
MR. MAJESTYK was shot in and around three locations in Colorado--Canon City, La Junta, and Rocky Ford.
Master crime novelist Elmore Leonard began as a writer of Westerns, providing the original stories of two distinctive 1950s Westerns--Delmer Daves's 3.10 TO YUMA and Budd Boetticher's THE TALL T. In 1972, Leonard wrote the screenplay for the Clint Eastwood Western JOE KIDD, which was directed by John Sturges. Then, at Eastwood's request, he wrote the screenplay for MR. MAJESTYK. But, in the meantime, Eastwood acquired the script for HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, and MR. MAJESTYK became a Charles Bronson project. After completing the screenplay, Leonard novelized MR. MAJESTYK. Many of Leonard's crime novels have been filmed, including 52 PICK-UP by John Frankenheimer, CAT CHASER by Abel Ferrara, GET SHORTY by Barry Sonnenfeld, TOUCH by Paul Schrader, JACKIE BROWN (from the novel RUM PUNCH) by Quentin Tarantino, and, perhaps best of all, OUT OF SIGHT by Steven Soderbergh.

A first-rate cast comes together for this collection of intertwining tales of lonely New Yorkers reaching out to each other on Christmas Eve. Susan Sarandon plays Rose, a widowed editor who spends way too much time at the hospital bed of her Alzheimers-stricken mother. Robin Williams is the mysterious fellow who later prevents her from possibly jumping in the East River. Meanwhile Nina (Penelope Cruz) gets tired of the violently jealous outbreaks of her cop boyfriend, Mike (Paul Walker), and breaks their engagement. An obsessive old waiter (Alan Arkin) is convinced Mike is the reincarnation of his dead wife, while in another story a troubled young man (Marcus Thomas) attempts to smash up his hand so he can attend an emergency room Christmas party. Needless to say, these tales intersect movingly and the miracle of Christmas provides major healing to each character involved. Sarandon is a stand-out among the many fine performances here, Cruz is beautiful as always, but the real jaw-dropping ...

Beloved television cult director Joss Whedon (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL) makes a spectacular first foray onto the big screen with SERENITY, the cinematic adaptation of his wildly popular but short-lived sci-fi series, FIREFLY. A mix of space western, comedy, and drama, SERENITY follows captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his ragtag crew as they trade their way around the edges of civilized society. Of particular interest are two passengers they take on, Simon and River Tam (Sean Maher, Summer Glau), a brother and his telepathic sister on the run from the corrupt governing Alliance. As notorious former members of the anti-Alliance opposition, Mal and his crew make it difficult for Simon and River to stay hidden. Everything goes completely awry when a government assassin is sent to retrieve River. As Mal is forced to choose between his close-knit crew and the brother and sister newcomers, it becomes apparent that River harbors both a dangerous secret and astounding fighting powers, and ...
