Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles To celebrate Levi Rockwell's 77th birthday, his children and grandchildren return to his home on the shores of Saggaponack. What begins as a joyful day turns into a moving event as the grandchildren honor Levi's most cherished wish.
In director Daniel Petrie's ROCKET GIBRALTAR, the affluent and somewhat eccentric Rockwell clan gets together in honor of Levi (Burt Lancaster), the family's patriarch, on his 77th birthday. Reunited on the shores of Levi's idyllic Saggaponack home, his children and their large brood of grandchildren prepare themselves for a festive celebration. While Levi spends his time leisurely reminiscing about family traditions, his adult children pursue various obsessions such as sex, baseball, and movie production. Costars include Kevin Spacey (in an early screen appearance), Bill Pullman, John Glover, Patricia Clarkson, Suzy Amis, Sinéad Cusack, and Frances Conroy as Levi's various children and their spouses, a wild crew of neurotic and self-obsessed yuppies eager to please the sentimental Rockwell patriarch. As the large family spends the weekend together, they revel in past joys and memories of their youth and prepare for the big event while engaging in ever-present sibling rivalry and marital squabbles. But as a surprise, Levi's grandchildren (including a very young Macaulay Culkin in his film debut) have come up with a rather moving and unorthodox present to honor Levi's most cherished wish in a touching and insightful finale to this quiet family drama that relishes the youthful exuberance and imaginative creativity of childhood. Rocket Gibraltar Reviews: "...A heart-tugging tale of simple values....Lancaster gives a wonderful performance..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...A heartening film....[Lancaster] gives Levi a touch of majesty, a grace and gravity, a sense of being ethereal, yet rooted to the earth..."

Starting with Ireland's bloody Easter Rebellion of 1916 and ending with his untimely death, this brilliantly photographed epic from director Neil Jordan tells the charged story of Michael "Mickey" Collins. An IRA founder whose innovative guerrilla tactics succeeded in bringing freedom from British rule, Collins remains a controversial but much respected political figure, who is skillfully embodied in the film by Liam Neeson. Aidan Quinn plays his longtime friend Harry, and Julia Roberts, sporting a nice brogue and lovely period costumes, is Katie, the woman they both love.
Jordan staged most of the battles, riots, ceremonies, and speeches at their actual locations in Ireland with a cast of thousands and a great eye for period detail. ...

A cute zebra foal gets separated from his circus and is adopted by a horse trainer (Bruce Greenwood) in this live action, talking animal tale. Stripes (voiced by Frankie Muniz) becomes adopted by the trainer's tomboy daughter (Hayden Panettiere)--an aspiring jockey--who subsequently wants to race him in the big leagues. Setbacks include her dad's over-protectiveness (he lost her mom in a horse-racing accident), and the fact that Stripes is a zebra and not a normal horse. Though all the other thoroughbreds turn their noses at this odd-looking interloper, a wizened old pony (Dustin Hoffman) steps in as trainer, and it's time to start prepping for the big race. Other animal characters include a mob "hit-pelican" (voice of Joe Pantoliano), a nurturing goat (voice ...

Canadian writer/director Aubrey Nealon fashions a coming-of-age dramedy about changing generational values with his thoughtful indie feature, A SIMPLE CURVE. Raised by hippie parents in rural British Columbia, ambitious 20-something Caleb (Kris Lemche) runs a small woodworking business that is losing money due to the anti-corporate idealism of his draft-dodger father, Jim (Michael Hogan). Caleb sees a chance to get out of debt with the arrival of his father's old friend Matthew (Matt Craven)--now a wealthy American businessman--but the deal may cost him more than he realizes, and in more ways than one.
