A high school basketball coach benches his entire team for poor academic performance in 1999. In the tradition of LEAN ON ME and DANGEROUS MINDS comes COACH CARTER, an inspirational drama starring Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson portrays real-life figure Ken Carter, who graduated from California's Richmond High only to return there years later, in 1999, and take over as head coach of the boys' basketball team. Unfortunately, the troubled school he remembered as a teenager is an even more insufferable place in his adulthood. Determined to make a change in his players' lives, Carter makes each young man sign a contract that ensures he will maintain a 2.3 GPA, attend every class, and wear a jacket and tie on game day. Of course, the players reject the contract at first, but when they realize that they don't have any other choice, they give in. And when it appears that their tough-as-nails coach is actually turning them into winners on the court, they embrace their coach's philosophy even further. But when Coach Carter receives the incomprehensibly awful progress reports of his players, he does the unthinkable: he benches the entire team. Directed by Thomas Carter (SAVE THE LAST DANCE), COACH CARTER is a sensitive drama that features an impassioned performance by Jackson, as well as the impressive young cast (most notably Rob Brown, Rick Gonzalez, and Robert Ri'Chard). THEATRICAL RELEASE: JANUARY 14, 2005 (LIMITED) Coach Carter Reviews: "[With] a combination of kinetic scenes on the court and meaningful, well-acted ones off it."

Callous hustler Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) is busy working on his next deal when he receives word that his estranged father has died. After traveling back to Ohio from Los Angeles for the funeral, Charlie is miffed to find that although he will receive a vintage Buick from his father's estate, he isn't getting a cent of the three-million-dollar fortune. Instead, Charlie finds that the money has been left to the caretakers of his institutionalized autistic brother, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman). Once he gets over the shock of the existence of a brother of whom he seems to have no recollection, Charlie kidnaps Raymond and heads cross-country in the Buick in an attempt to get a cut of the inheritance to pay off some of his failing deals. However, during their adventure, Charlie not only learns how to deal with Raymond's many idiosyncrasies, ...

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic captains "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus. ...

Jean-Claude Brisseau's film is a heady melange of old-fashioned office seduction and Sadean orgy-mongering done up with Gallic flair. Sandrine (Sabrina Seyvecou) and Nathalie (Coralie Revel) meet while being fired from a strip club and soon they dare each other into a lesbian affair and masturbate publicly. They decide to make their new sexual exploits work for them, getting office jobs and sleeping their way up the corporate ladder. Nathalie counsels Sandrine in her seduction of the hardworking head of the firm (Roger Mirmont), but then Nathalie makes the mistake of falling for the handsome CEO (Fabrice Deville), an amoral hedonist who seduces the young women of the company and then drives them to suicide. He also likes to stage massive orgies and sleep with his own sister (Blandine Bury). From there on in, it just gets wilder, replete with a lurking specter of death and her pet hawk. While orgasmic writhing is plentiful, Brisseau's straightforward narrative keeps things focused. The film is as much homage to the pre-code Hollywood films of yore as it is an exercise in ...

Mike Leigh produces another devastating masterpiece with the heartbreaking VERA DRAKE. Imelda Staunton is the title character, beloved wife of Stan (Phil Davis) and mother of Sid (Daniel Mays) and Ethel (Alex Kelly). Vera spends her days cleaning houses for money and looking in on elderly and sick neighbors out of the kindness of her heart. She even attempts to be a matchmaker for her daughter, inviting a lonely neighbor, Reg (Eddie Marsan), to see if he might be a perfect match for the introverted Ethel. But Vera performs another duty that her family doesn't know about, one that is deeply frowned upon by society. When tragedy befalls a young client of Vera's, the truth comes out, forcing her family to see their mother in an entirely different light.
Staunton gives a towering performance and, in typical Mike Leigh fashion, ...

Spanish actress turned director Laura Mana delivers an enchanting fable, by turns funny and achingly poignant, and seasoned with a bit of magical realism. Opening in black-and-white and set in a dull, drab Mexican town, the inhabitants of the film are beset by a bad case of the doldrums: the kids are taciturn, the adults are listless, and the elderly are afflicted. Among them, Dolores (Elisabeth Margoni, LOVE, ACTUALLY) stands out as a pious, big-hearted, and lovable woman, but her husband leaves her because he finds her undiluted goodness difficult to stomach. Shocked, hurt and angry, Dolores goes to bed with the first man who asks her, and soon she is providing all of the love-starved men of the town with the intimacy they have been missing. The changes are immeasurable and color is brought ...

Based on Rumiko Takahashi's (RANMA 1/2) popular weekly comic strip, URUSEI YATSURA was one of Japan's most popular television shows during its run from 1981 to 1986, which produced 195 episodes of the show. The series followed the misadventures of Lum, a beautiful bikini-clad alien girl with horns under her green hair, and her misguided love for the skirt-chasing buffoon Arturo. Drawing from science fiction, Japanese mythology, and high-school hijinks, URUSEI YATSURA consistently produced zany premises and riotous action that involved everything from cute girls with enormous guns, magical earmuffs, giant ghost cats, a test-cheating machine, parallel universes, and plenty of scenes in bathhouses. This release contains the final episodes of the show after its phenomenally long and popular run. (Unlike U.S. television series, URUSEI YATSURA didn't have seasons, and the animators worked non-stop ...
