This 124 minute R-rated DVD film features John Cusack, Bil ly Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett, and Angelina Jolie in an u nconventional comedy about two air traffic controllers. The film is directed by Mike Newell. Mike Newell's PUSHING TIN ... Full Descriptiontakes a offbeat look at the stressful lives of air traffic controllers.Nick Falzone (John Cusack) is a confident, accomplished air traffic controller whose life is turned upside down when drifter Russell Bell (Billy Bob Thornton) joins his tight-knit work team and threatens to drive him insane. Stakes are high and pressure is constant in the world of air traffic control, making the line between excellence and failure dangerously thin. While jokes provide the team of controllers with an important release from their stressful occupation, a narrow division exists between teasing and animosity.
Mike Newell's careful research of the air traffic control profession, including its frequent emotional toll, lends a high level of realism to PUSHING TIN. Newell combines a depiction of the demandingly precise work done in air traffic control towers with an emotional portrait of the people charged with the safety of thousands of airline passengers and crew every day. The film also features the charming talents of Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie.
Pushing Tin Reviews: "...Punchy and involving....PUSHING TIN makes for a lively flight..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...From the terrific ensemble cast to the meticulous cinematography and subtle score, PUSHING TIN is one of the most consistently enjoyable US films of the year..."
-- Andrew O'Hehir, Sight and Sound "...It's a treat to watch Cusack riff..."
-- Caren Weiner Campbell, Entertainment Weekly "...A four character story with four characters worth watching. Mr. Newell's ensemble timing and breezily sardonic style make it work..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times …Cusack's the center of attention in this film, and he encapsulates the role adeptly…
-- Annlee Ellingson, Box Office "...The movie is made to a great extent by its four key performances....[With] another super turn from Angelina Jolie..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...It's an intriguing film....One of the year's most interesting..."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Hide Description

Late nineteenth century Cuba. Dawn. At the docks, Luis (Antonio Banderas) waits for his American mail-order bride. But, his wait seems to be in vain. Then, magically, she appears--Julia (Angelina Jolie). And, she is beautiful, unlike the woman whose picture she sent. But Luis had lied as well--he wrote that he was only a clerk in the coffee company that he actually owns. In spite of their deceptions, they marry immediately. They are blissfully happy, although Julia has her demons. She has nightmares, she ignores her sister's letters, and--mysteriously--won't open her trunk. Her sister sends an unnerving detective to check that she arrived. Still unsatisfied, her sister arrives herself. That's when Julia disappears with the money in Luis's bank accounts, instantaneously transforming Luis's dream into a nightmare.

Though a statement at the opening of the film explains that the creatures of the title are, in Native American lore, people who have the ability to transform into various animals, SKINWALKERS focuses on two warring factions of werewolves. One is a family concentrated on protecting Timothy (Matthew Knight), a boy about to turn 13 who is the offspring of mortal Rachel (Rhona Mitra) and a Skinwalker. Timothy's family, led by kindly Uncle Jonas (Elias Koteas), chooses to avoid slaughtering innocents during full moons by restraining themselves in straps in the back of a beaten traveling camper. Their rival clan, captained by Varek (Jason Behr), lives with a leather-clad biker gang, riding from town to town and reveling in their bloodlust. When the clock strikes midnight on Timothy's birthday, he will be able to (in terms not explicitly spelled out) end the bloody reign of the Skinwalkers--but not if Varek and his gang can catch and kill Timothy before he officially becomes a teenager.
SKINWALKERS focuses more on its action sequences than on the horror elements, but those seeking a good chase sequence will find plenty to enjoy in the film's second half. Director James Isaac (JASON X) gives the film a graphic novel-like visual style, with plenty of red tints and scenes of rising moons. Elias Koteas (CRASH, EXOTICA) seems to be having fun as a werewolf patriarch, but veteran Canadian supporting actress Barbara Gordon seems to be ...

A timeless story receives a new twist in this effort which was executive produced by award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola (THE GODFATHER). Adam Baldwin stars as Dr Jeckyll, a mild mannered and well respected young surgeon who travels to Hong Kong for his honeymoon along with his beautiful young bride.

While recovering, Dr. Jekyll uses a potion which changes his physical appearance and fills him with deadly anger. Soon the young doctor follows a path of rage as he tries to seek and kill anyone involved with the murder of his wife.
