The late Richard Harris's final film, MY KINGDOM, takes place in the gritty underworld of modern-day Liverpool. Inspired by Shakespeare's KING LEAR, Harris stars as Sandeman, the head of a prominent crime ring. After the brutal murder of Sandeman's long-loyal wife (Lynn Redgrave) the aging gangster decides to give up his fortune and divide his "kingdom" between his three daughters. However, Jo (Emma Catherwood), his youngest and favored daughter, is a reformed drug addict trying to lead a straight and narrow life and she promptly refuses any part of the family business. This leaves the inheritance to her two scheming sisters, Kath (Louise Lombard), a madam at a bondage club, and Tracy, (Lorraine Pilkington) the owner of a Liverpool soccer team. Together with their husbands (Paul McGann and Jimi Mistry), the sisters turn their backs on Sandeman and devise a plot to overthrow his powerful reign of Liverpool's working class drug trade. Like a fallen king, Sandeman is left with no one except his young grandson (Reece Noi), and together they wander the harsh city streets of wintry Liverpool. Richard Harris gives a stunning performance that is sure to be remembered for its enduring spirit and fine sense of tragedy. My Kingdom Reviews: "...[Harris's] acting remains formidable..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...MY KINGDOM functions first and foremost as a no-holds-barred gangster picture, one enriched by the visual grandeur of Liverpool's wintry beauty..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "...Harris commands the screen, using his frailty to suggest the ravages of a life of corruption and ruthlessness..."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

AIMEE & JAGUAR’s Max Faerberboeck directs this gripping drama set in the days after Russia’s invasion of Berlin in 1945. Anonyma (Nina Hoss, YELLA) is surrounded by women, children, and men too weak or old to fight in the war, and there is no one to defend her from the ravenous appetites of the invading army.

My Kingdom review
A powerful depiction of the conflicts that emerge when cultures collide, Philippe Faucon's SAMIA tells the story of a young female immigrant who is unable to find peace and contentment in her life, at home or in public. Samia (Lynda Benahouda) is a pretty Algerian teenager whose family has settled in the French city of Marseilles. Her ailing father, strict mother, and overbearing brother, Yacine (Mohamed Chaouch), struggle to uphold the rigid codes of their former culture and Muslim religion, but find it difficult when thrust against the looser environment of their new, modern city. One sister has even run away from home after falling in ...

$12.89
Packed with an all-star cast, Diane English's (MURPHY BROWN) contemporary version of THE WOMEN showcases the talents of Annette Bening, Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Candice Bergen, and Debra Messing. Like the 1939 original, the film deals with the relationships among a close-knit group of female friends, who, when their marriages fail and their lives are on the verge of falling apart, turn to each other for support. On the surface, Mary (Ryan) appears the happiest of the bunch, but her life changes instantly when her best friend Sylvia (Bening) discovers that Mary's husband's having an affair. The actresses frequently appear on screen as an ensemble, exhibiting a relaxed, compelling chemistry. The film feels cluttered at times, but perhaps that is fitting considering how much each female character has on her plate with regards to family, work, marriage, and friendship. Eva Mendes appears as the jaw-dropping beauty who is partially to blame for the fallout of Mary's marriage. As Mary's mother and the voice of wisdom, Bergen delivers the film's best lines with sarcasm, wit, and charm.
As in the SEX AND THE CITY movie, the message here seems to be that before finding love with a man, a woman must truly love and know herself. While Mary's high-society social standing enables her to start a fashion line on a whim and makes her self-transformation somewhat easy, female viewers from all walks of life are likely to recognize something relatable in the many women characters driving the film. One nice touch is that while much of the drama surrounds various marital problems, even the cheating husband in question never appears on screen. When you get down to it, the film's most important relationships are between the women themselves.

MAN IN THE CHAIR stars Christopher Plummer (A BEAUTIFUL MIND, THE SOUND OF MUSIC) as weathered curmudgeon Flash Madden. The former film gaffer is embittered about Hollywood's current regime that perpetuates a throwaway society by neglecting and forgetting the crews and creators that helped crank out some of the most significant films in cinematic history. He catches the attention of high school delinquent Cameron (Michael Angarano, WILL & GRACE), who tries to convince Flash to mentor him in a filmmaking competition--the only thing that motivates Cameron to stay out of trouble. Impressed by Cameron's persistence, Flash obliges and recruits his fellow crew member friends who live with him at the Motion Picture retirement home to help out as well, celebrating their production specialties that have been dormant for decades. While filming, the crew hits their share of ups and downs, but they become invigorated by their work. Cameron and Flash develop an intense bond and understanding for each other's position in life, as they see the value of both youth and wisdom.

In sci-fi thriller BABYLON A.D., Vin Diesel's Toorop is an antihero who quotes the best of cinema's bad boys from films such as THE GODFATHER and SCARFACE. But all the tattooed muscleman really wants to do is leave poverty- and violence-ridden Russia and return to his family's home in upstate New York. However, he has been banned from his native America, so when a Russian mobster (a prosthetic-enhanced Gérard Depardieu) offers him a job and a forged passport that will take him back home, he agrees, even though the mission seems close to suicide. He takes a strangely gifted orphan named Aurora (Melanie Thierry) from a Mongolian convent to Harlem, his only help being a nun--though it is a nun played by action star Michelle Yeoh. Thugs attack them on every leg of their journey, following them as they take car, train, sub, and snowmobile to ensure Aurora's safety.
BABYLON A.D works best when it's revealing facets of its futuristic world, from the refugee-camp look of Russia to the high-tech gloss of a 22-million-people-strong New York City. Production designers Sonja Klaus and Paul Cross, as well as director Mathieu Kassovitz (GOTHIKA), deserve praise for creating settings that evoke memories of dystopian films from BLADE RUNNER to CHILDREN OF MEN. Kassovitz, who is most familiar to audiences as the object of affection in AMELIE, also adapted the script from the Maurice G. Dantec novel BABYLON BABIES with Eric Besnard. The book weighed in at over 500 pages, so there are times when it feels like ...
