"Thrilling, inspiring and exquisite." - Anderson Jones/CNN Headline News

The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House, waging a reign of terror over its occupants.

When he falls fatally in love with the lovely young soprano Christine, the Phantom devotes himself to creating a new star for the Opera. But she has another admirer, her childhood sweetheart Raoul, the dashing young Vicompte de Chagny. The Phantom's fury at her betrayal becomes murderous. He hatches a plot to win her back and in a dramatic and tense climax Christine is forced to choose between Raoul and the Phantom - her Angel of Music.

The stage musical sensation is magically and hauntingly transformed by director Joel Schumacher's into a lavish film production, sweeping audiences to new heights of sight and sound grandeur. Gerard Butler (as the Phantom), Emmy Rossum (The National Board of Review Breakthrough Performance Award winner as Christine) and Patrick Wilson (as Raoul) play out the fateful love triangle that unfurls in splendor, suspense - and in the music of the night.

Terri Fletcher loves to sing. Her older brother, Paul, is her best friend and inspiration. Her father, though supportive, believes there are more important things in life than singing. Terri buys tickets for both her brother and her to see the Canadian band Three Days Grace in concert one night, but Paul is grounded and is unable to go. Terri insists that they should have one last night of fun before Paul goes to college, and they sneak out. On the way back, as Paul is driving them home, they are involved in a major car crash which leaves Terri injured and Paul dead. Throughout the whole film, Terri feels guilty because she blames herself for Paul's death. In an enormous state of sadness and grief due to her guilt, she gives up her scholarship and her dream of going to a popular Los Angeles music school. Johnny Maglone (Nick Wald) shows the true meaning of music in the opening sequence of the film where he plays "Amazing Grace" on the recorder in perfect rhythm.

Later, Terri has a change of heart after realizing that Paul would have wanted her to go, as he was the one who made her admissions tape. Her father stubbornly forbids her from attending the school. However, her mother decides otherwise, wanting the best for her only child remaining. Mrs Fletcher thus sends Terri off to Los Angeles to achieve her dreams. Her father is kept in the dark as Terri leaves under the pretext of going on vacation to stay with her Aunt Nina. While going to Bristol-Hillman Conservatory, Terri experiences difficulty fitting in. Later, she strikes up a friendship with fellow student Jay Corgan (played by Oliver James), an English boy who has a mutual crush on her. The two eventually begin to date, causing Jay's ex-girlfriend, Robin, to become jealous. She tries to win Jay back by kissing him, and the two are discovered by Terri, who runs out in tears. Both then attempt to work separately, but have difficulty trying to finish the song they were writing together. After Jay gets drunk over Terri, the two sort things out, and decide to continue writing the song together. In the end, Terri overcomes her grief, singing a farewell to her brother in "Someone's Watching Over Me", a song she composes with Jay. Denise, Terri's friend, is the winner of the scholarship, which is a pleasant surprise for everyone as Denise needed the money the most. As the end credits roll, Terri sings "Jericho".

2008-09-08T23:06:00.002+07:00

But she gets more than she bargained for when she hires Angie (Poehler), a free spirit from South Philly, to be her surrogate in a hysterical mama match-up. From birth class to baby-proofing, they’re the ultimate odd couple that critics are calling “the best female comedy duo since Lucy and Ethel” (Claudia Puig, USA Today). With hilarious performances from an all-star cast featuring Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver, Baby Mama is as full of laughs as it is heart.

Academy Award® winners Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) and Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) star as a pair of veteran New York City police detectives on the trail of a vigilante serial killer in the adrenaline fueled psychological thriller Righteous Kill, directed by Jon Avnet (Red Corner, Fried Green Tomatoes) and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man). The cast also features hip-hop superstar Curtis Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin’). After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren’t. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can’t do on their own—take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars?

Taking aim at everything and everyone, from "Indiana Jones" and "Iron Man" to Amy Winehouse and “High School Musical,” DISASTER MOVIE lampoons the blockbuster movie, pop culture icons and public figures along the way as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer satirize everything as only they can.

An elite FBI investigator crosses three continents in search of a renegade U.S. military operative who holds the secret to a shocking conspiracy in Traitor, a taut international thriller set in the treacherous world of covert counter-espionage operations.
When FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a complex web of international connections, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down and disappearing before the authorities can question him. The inter-agency task force looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), an amoral, veteran CIA contractor who seems to have his own agenda, and FBI agent Max Archer (Neal McDonough). The task force links Horn to illicit activities in Yemen, Nice and London, but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative—or something far more complicated. Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world constructed of secrets and lies.

As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok’s intoxicating beauty, Joe begins to question his isolated existence and let down his guard …just as Surat decides it’s time to clean house.
