Cradle 2 the Grave

After the smash hit Romeo Must Die, the successful team-up of DMX and Jet Li is back to yet again satisfy our thirst for nauseating martial arts. The story takes off when an international criminal played by Mark Dacascos kidnaps the daughter of gang leader played by DMX in exchange for priceless diamonds. Jet Li then enters the picture as a Taiwanese Intelligence officer, who is forced to ally with DMX to rescue his daughter. Cradle 2 the Grave is an action packed adventure ready to set the silver screen on fire with its powerful cast and promising unforgettable combat stints.

Denzel Washington is back at the silver screen with another serious drama on his plate and a directorial debut on the side. Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke) is a biographical drama based on the true story of one of Hollywood’s famous producer/screenwriter. The story focuses on his earlier life as a Navy sailor with a violent past. Denzel Washington plays a Navy psychiatrist who helps Antwone Fisher confront this painful past that changes his life dramatically. Denzel Washington’s first directorial job promises a film that explores deeper than expected and serves as an inspiring example for overcoming hardships and reaching success.

Punch-Drunk Love


From the award winning director of Magnolia and Boogie Nights (Paul Anderson) comes a story far different from his earlier works. Punch Drunk Love is a quirky romantic comedy that stars Adam Sandler in his quite serious role, no more of that idiotic humor that comprises of his silliness and physical comedy. He plays Barry Egan (Adam Sandler), an angry man stuck in a state of arrested emotional issues, a small business owner with seven sisters whose abuse kept him alone and unable to fall in love. His romantic journey begins when he met the mysterious Lena, the shy and secretive British Friend of one of Barry’s seven sisters. Punch Drunk Love is a complete departure from Paul Anderson’s serious mind boggling movies, but his fans will not be disappointed because he has created a kind of unconventional romantic comedy, something that we might expect from him.

Tears of the Sun


A team of Navy SEALS, led by A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis), is ordered into the Nigerian jungle on a search-and-rescue mission to try to bring back Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Belucci), a physician who had been missing for quite some time. They successfully locate the doctor. However, once they get to the village, Dr. Kendricks says she'll only leave if seventy refugees can leave with her. Her ultimatum drastically changes the mission's scope, and decreases the possibility of any of them making it out of the jungle alive. Jungles, Guns, Bruce Willis, and a Gal in Distress. How can you go wrong?

Just Married


Any marriage is going to have its ups and downs. But what if those "downs" start happening the minute you step off the altar? Such is the premise of Just Married as blue-collar radio traffic announcer Tom Leezak (Ashton Kutcher) meets rich, free-spirited writer Sarah McNerney (Brittany Murphy), and after a whirlwind romance, they decide to get hitched. Life is never that easy though, as they soon find out. One tragedy after another strikes at the newlyweds, and just when you start doubting you will ever want to get married, love wins the day. Yup, another romantic comedy.

Dreamcatcher


Dreamcatcher, the film based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, tells of four young friends who perform a heroic act — and are changed forever by the uncanny powers they gain in return. Years later the friends, now men, are on a hunting trip in the Maine woods when they are overtaken by a blizzard, a vicious storm in which something much more ominous moves… Rest assured this will be something worth seeing with talents like Morgan Freeman, Damian Lewis and Thomas Jane. Be sure to see it.

Maid in Manhattan


J. Lo has hit the big screen once again! This time around she has the part of Marisa Ventura, a single mom working as a maid for the first-class Beresford Hotel. She has a stable life, keeping things going for her and her son even though they don’t have a lot of money. One day, while trying on the clothes of one of the guests, her son introduces her to Christopher Marshall (Ralph Kleins), an aspiring U.S. Senator. He asks her out, she reluctantly agrees. Put two and two together and you get a romantic comedy the likes of "Working Girl" or "Pretty Woman".
