Synopsis

The groundbreaking thriller, starring Kiefer Sutherland as Special Agent Jack Bauer, 24 is filmed in real-time. Combined with split-screen scenes of simultaneous action, 24 takes place hour-by-hour over 24 hours on the day of the Californian Presidential elections. The action starts at midnight as Jack Bauer of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) faces the longest day of his life. He is about to take on his toughest missions to date – to foil the assassination attempt on presidential candidate Senator David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), and to rebuild his marriage with his wife Terri (Leslie Hope). When their daughter Kimberly (Elisha Cuthbert) sneaks out with her best friend Janet, Terri sets out to find her with the help of the Janet’s father.

In the meantime, Jack has been framed for the assassination attempt and flees the CIA agents to find the real perpetrators led by Ira Gaines (Michael Massee). The plot thickens as revelations about Senator Palmer’s family arise and Terri’s hunt for Kimberly gets more and more dangerous. Jack becomes incapacitated and only has his mobile phone and the help of his trusted colleague at CTU Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke) to help him. Nina works undercover to provide Jack with information about Gaines and the wherabouts of his family. This 6 disc DVD box set contains all 24 episodes from the series.

Synopsis

After four decades on the planet, Andy Stitzer (Carrel) has still not had sex. He’s had a pretty good life in most ways, but there’s that one rather significant experience that has given him the slip. Andy works at an electronics store and when his workmates find out his secret, they think it’s time things changed. After all, Andy may have his odd ways, but weirder guys – and certainly plainer ones – have had at least one taste of something he has been denied.

No matter how hard his friends try to change Andy’s situation, the end result is that in one particular area he still remains a non-participant. And then he meets Trish (Catherine Keener) and Andy’s pals start to hold out hope for him – until they discover the arrangement that he and Trish have made concerning their relationship…

Synopsis

It is an ultra-futuristic, mind-bending experience that features nine animated short films, created in the anime style pioneered by Japanese animation artists. These feature-quality short animated films, each between six and seventeen minutes long, tell new stories set in the revolutionary world of The Matrix, the groundbreaking virtual reality action thrillers created by writers-directors Andy and Larry Wachowski, and the highly anticipated second and third chapters in their film trilogy, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Viewers of The Animatrix will learn new details of the genesis of The Matrix, and meet new characters whose adventures are inter-woven with the fabric of the feature films.

The Animatrix is also a bold experiment in “shared world” storytelling, in which the Wachowski Brothers pay tribute to one of the pop culture sources that fired their own cinematic imaginations, the uniquely Japanese genre of animated futurism known as “anime.” The film brings together some of the most respected and innovative veterans of Japan’s flourishing and globally popular animation industry and turns them loose in the Wachowskis’ teeming fictional universe.

Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically.

Synopsis

In Tim Burton’s family film BIG FISH, a wonderful storyteller named Edward Bloom (Albert Finney), who lives in a small town in Alabama, recounts tall tales of his wild worldly adventures. These are shown in flashback with Ewan McGregor playing the young Bloom. Wonderful special effects and vibrant colors that pop off the screen make this Burton film a much sunnier experience than his macabre gems EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and BEETLEJUICE. Yet his signature quirky artistry is unmistakable, and the movie benefits from crisp production values and a loveable, bizarre cast of characters.

Told through a series of vignettes, Bloom’s stories involve a witch, a giant, a haunted forest, and yes, a big fish. A self-described small-town hero, Bloom explains how he left home at 18 determined to experience anything and everything life could dish out. He worked for the circus, took on daring assignments as a WWII soldier, and rambled across the country as a zany traveling salesman. Utterly unbelievable yet magical and delightful, Bloom’s stories just don’t translate to his son Will (Billy Crudup) who wants to know his dad’s “true” life story. But little by little – through increasingly outlandish tales at which Will cannot resist smirking – the two begin to understand each other, and Bloom weaves his stories into their genealogical fabric.

He Was The Perfect Weapon Until He Became The Perfect Target.

As THE BOURNE IDENTITY begins, a man who may or may not be Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea and is hauled onto a fishing boat. When the ship’s doctor examines the unconscious castaway, he discovers two bullet wounds and an implanted device that displays a Swiss bank account number. With nothing but this code, the amnesiac Bourne travels to Zurich and gains access to a safe-deposit box containing a gun, thousands of dollars in various currencies, and valid passports from numerous countries—each listing a different identity. Within minutes, Bourne is on the run from a seemingly ever-present agency, relying on language and fighting skills he didn’t even know he possessed. Offering $20,000 for a ride to Paris, Bourne gains the reluctant help of the nomadic Marie (Franka Potente). Meanwhile, the shadowy organization, headed by a tough-talking bureaucrat (Chris Cooper), sends numerous assassins (including the Professor, played by Clive Owen) after Bourne and Marie. As their situation grows more perilous, the two strangers struggle to find out who Bourne really is and why they are being hunted.

Synopsis

They should have left him alone.

Following the smash worldwide success of 2002’s The Bourne Identity, Universal Pictures brings the second installment of best-selling author Robert Ludlum’s series to the screen with Matt Damon returning as trained assassin Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy.

The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. The stakes are now even higher for the agent as he coolly maneuvers through the dangerous waters of international espionage—replete with CIA plots, turncoat agents and ever-shifting covert alliances – all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and answers to his own fragmented past.

Compelling use of exotic worldwide locations and the muscular cinematic edge brought by vanguard director Paul Greengrass (writer/director of Bloody Sunday) maintain the aggressive style and fresh, non-traditional perspective established in The Bourne Identity: The Bourne Supremacy is the latest entry in a refreshingly new breed of that time-honored genre, the espionage thriller.

The Bourne Supremacy is produced by Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley and Paul L. Sandberg; and directed by Paul Greengrass from a screenplay by Tony Gilroy (The Bourne Identity), based on Ludlum’s book of the same name.

It is a quiet day in the countryside when Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy stumble through the back of an old wardrobe into the enchanted land of Narnia. When the White Witch learns of their prescence, their lives are in danger, but there is talk that Aslan is on the move…

Spring is in the air – but the White Witch tightens her grip and plans the destruction of the children and Aslan. Her triumph looks certain but the magnificent Aslan risks everything and calls on the Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time.

Now, the fugitive finds himself on planet Helion, home to a progressive multicultural society that has been invaded by the Lord Marshal, a despot who targets humans for subjugation with his army of warriors known as Necromongers.

Exiled to a subterranean prison where extremes of temperature range from arctic nights to volcanic days, Riddick encounters Kyra, the lone survivor from an earlier chapter in his life..

Synopsis

Coach Carter is based on true events and while it contains the familiar theme of an underdog team’s soaring to excellence it is also about a man who tries to push that team to far greater things. As is mentioned during the movie, Carter wants to put the word, “student” back into the term, “student athlete”. To this end, on his first day with the team, he makes it clear who’s in charge by laying down some ground rules; he insists that all of the members sign a contract in which they must agree to maintain a 2.3 grade average, attend all their classes, sit in the front row and wear a tie on game days. Carter wants his athletes’ lives not to be ruled by the game alone in the hope that they can escape the unpromising future that inevitably awaits most of them.
