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 takes 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..."

Will Ferrell makes yet another memorable splash on the big screen in Jon Favreau's sweet and hilarious Christmas fable. Ferrell is Buddy, an innocent figure who was raised as an elf in the North Pole by his adoptive father, Papa Elf (Bob Newhart). When Buddy discovers that he's actually a human being, he heads to New York City to reunite with his biological father. The trouble is that his dad, Walter (James Caan), is a publishing executive who doesn't have time for anything other than work. Buddy moves in with Walter and his family, and proceeds to teach them a lesson or two about what being a family really means. Meanwhile, he also falls head over heels in love with the incredibly cute department store clerk, Jovie (Zooey Deschanel). By the time Christmas Eve rolls around, the general lack of spirit in the air threatens to ground Santa for the big night. He must rely on Buddy's expertise and overall enthusiasm to ensure that Christmas will be saved once again. Favreau's film is family entertainment at its finest, featuring a performance by Ferrell that is at once innocent, tender, and laugh-out-loud funny. A stellar supporting cast--including Caan, ...
