Zoe's Corner
Film has been around for over a hundred years. The first Academy award winning picture was "Wings" and it won the 1927/28 award for best picture. But as anyone with any film history knowledge knows, there have been moving pictures since the 1880's (yes, I know there were earlier ones, but this is the date I am choosing.)Looking at both sides of the war on drugs, Eugene Jarecki's The House I Live In tells the story of the origins of America's drug war and its effects on today's culture. Detailing the political system that rewards punishment over treatment, the culture of police that promote small-time non-violent offenses above criminal investigations, and inner-city environments where drug dealers are the only employer in a "company town," the film is an elaborate dissection of the police, exploding prison population, and jailers that all know they're in a failing system.
Spending a year with the tennis superstars, the documentary Venus & Serena explores the life, story, and relationship of Venus and Serena Williams. Trained to play tennis by their father at a young age, the sisters rose to the top of their sport and have been superstars for over a decade; the film examines their careers, controversies, and hardships, and the love they have for one another even when they are in direct competition.
Cara (Julianne Moore) is a psychiatrist skeptical of multiple personalities in 6 Souls, but her father (Jeffrey DeMunn), also a doctor, asks her to visit a patient that could change her mind. When she meets wheelchair-bound David (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), she conducts standard tests... and then David transforms into Adam, who isn't just a different person from Adam, but can also stand and walk.
Though
Cara's still not sure, she begins looking into Adam and the many
personalities he displays, but the deeper she digs, the more she learns
he's not just real, he could be more dangerous than anything she
imagined. With Brooklynn Proulx and Nathan Corddry. On DVD and Blu Ray.Though Adib (Alexander Siddig) always wanted to protect his family from his past in Inescapable, his daughter went to Syria to understand her father's homeland... and disappears. Adib immediately leaves Canada for Damascus: if anyone discovers who his daughter really is, who he really is, their whole world could collapse. With the help of his ex-fiance (Marisa Tomei), Adib begins upsetting the already volatile Syrian status quo, receiving little help from the Canadian ambassador (Joshua Jackson) that could know more than he lets on and an old friend (Oded Fehr) who has risen to a high military position. In a dangerous situation, surrounded by people who won't help him-- people who have a lot to lose-- Adib proves that his secret past is as powerful as any weapon they can use against him, and he's willing to use it mercilessly. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Picking up where Tai Chi Zero left off, Tai Chi Hero rejoins Lu Chan after saving his master's (Tony Leung Ka Fai) village from the imposing, steampunk machines poised to destroy their homes. Now engaged to his master's daughter, Lu Chan has been adopted into the family, into the community, and into the secrets of Tai Chi... but when he destroyed the western machines, he made a powerful enemy (Peter Stormare) that can never ignore the country folk that would stand against him. Now Lu Chan must put both his kung fu skills and steampunk contraptions to use to stop the invading westerners once and for all.
Ashley (Abbie Cornish) has done everything ask of her to reclaim the son that was taken from her and placed in foster care in The Girl, but nothing she does earns her son's return. She has a house and a steady job, but Ashley's life still looks too low-income to child care professionals, and she can't imagine a way to make more money... until she discovers her father (Will Patton) makes extra money trafficking Mexican immigrants across the border. Though she does start making money, Ashley's life is slowly changed when she transports Rosa, a young girl, and Rosa won't leave her side. Ashley is fixated on getting her son back, but seeing Rosa separated from her own mother inspires Ashley to help the girl in the ways no one would help Ashley herself.
9-year-old Saige is a talented young painter who is shocked to learn her school is cutting art class in An American Girl: Saige Paints the Sky. With the help of her grandmother (Jane Seymour), Saige rallies her love of art to put together concerts, parades... anything she can do to save her school's art program.
