enlisted by the forces of Evil (Gary Oldman), the woman is the key to

With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with RATATOUILLE. A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) lives in Paris with a dream (and the talent) to be a chef. Opting to raid the kitchens of Paris rather than the garbage cans and sewers of the city with his family, Remy is inspired by the philosophy of one of the city‘s most legendary chefs, the late Gusteau (Brad Garrett). One night, Remy can‘t resist practicing his skill in Gusteau‘s restaurant. While his guard is down, Remy is discovered by a klutzy young man, Linguini (Lou Romano), who cleans the kitchen. Together Remi and Linguini become a culinary duo, with Remy playing puppeteer by concealing himself under Linguini‘s chef‘s hat. Remy pulls Linguini‘s hair to direct his hands, helping to bring Remy‘s creations to life. Soon Gusteau‘s restaurant becomes the talk of the town--but would it still be the toast of Paris if everyone knew a rat was running the show?

special effects show the lycans transforming from humans to werewolves, and
the lycans‘ ability to squeeze silver bullets out of their skin is also
rudely fascinating. Beckinsale is captivating in the role of the lead vamp,
with her leather corset, pouty expressions, and double-fisted pistols
perfectly communicating the glam-action mood of the film.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of
filmmaking. Director and (with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley
Kubrick has created a visual and aural spectacle that stands as one of the
greatest achievements ever put on celluloid. The film begins with the "Dawn
of Man" segment, about the evolution of apes, and then ventures into the
future, taking a look at what the world might be like in the first year of
the 21st century. Kubrick‘s film is a triumph of technological
storytelling, with stunning sets and a brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack.
Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images backed by powerful
orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth
and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the
future.

the school year to the sizzling summer. Just because school‘s out, it
doesn‘t mean that Troy (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), Chad
(Corbin Bleu), and Taylor (Monique Coleman) just get to sit around. Instead,
the four students get summer jobs at the Lava Springs Country Club, and they
won‘t even get a break from Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Her family owns the
club, and her biggest goal for the summer is to take Troy from Gabriella.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 features more of the upbeat musical numbers that made
the first film such a smash hit including "Fabulous," "Work This Out," "You

Ford Coppola takes Bram Stoker‘s archetypical horror story and accentuates
the romantic angle. Blood still flows in large amounts, and Coppola opted to
do all the eye-pleasing visual effects in-camera, utilizing shadow puppets,
smoke, miniatures, and other time-honored tricks of the trade--creating a
visual style not unlike that of a storybook come to life.

With PAPRIKA, Satoshi Kon (TOKYO GODFATHERS,
MILLENNIUM ACTRESS) unleashes another eye-popping anime adventure. The
visually striking thriller is set in the not-too-distant future, where
doctors are developing a groundbreaking new psychotherapy treatment called
PT. This coincides with the invention of a device called the "DC Mini,"
which enables researchers to enter the dreams of a subject and explore
matters of the unconscious mind. An adaptation of a story by the acclaimed
Japanese writer Yasutaka Tsutsui, PAPRIKA tells a tough-to-decipher, but
spellbinding, tale. Kon‘s thought-provoking film features an absurdly
catchy J-pop score and an unforgettable visual landscape.

It‘s been a long, strange trip since Darren Aronofsky last invited viewers into his cinematic world, but THE FOUNTAIN is sure to enchant, beguile, and inspire intense debate among his patient fans. The complex tale is split into three different time periods, beginning in the 16th century, when a conquistador named Tomas (Hugh Jackman) strives to find the Tree of Life. The second part of the story finds Jackman playing a Buddha-like character who zips through outer space and dreams of a woman named Izzi (Rachel Weisz). And the third part, which consumes most of the film‘s screen time, is set in the present day and sees Jackman playing a doctor named Tommy, who is married to the terminally-ill Izzi. In this third section Tommy strives to find a cure for Izzi‘s brain tumor, and makes some progress after experimenting on a monkey with a substance discovered in a tree in South America. Meanwhile, Izzi has been writing a book that she calls THE FOUNTAIN, but has left the final chapter for Tommy to write.

beauty--make for some awkward, funny, and poignant situations.

Perhaps the most influential and successful
independent film ever made, HALLOWEEN is the movie that put director John
Carpenter on the map as a viable filmmaker. An exercise in simple, pure
horror, HALLOWEEN takes us into the world of a mad killer, Michael Myers,
who at a very young age stabbed his older sister to death. Locked away for
many years in a mental hospital Michael escapes one night and returns to his
hometown to continue his killing spree. Jamie Lee Curtis, in her first role,
plays the resourceful babysitter who is chased by the killer on Halloween
night. Produced for very little money and a tight shooting schedule,
HALLOWEEN was a stunning success when it was released.
