Haunting of Molly Hartley
Most girls can't wait for their 18th birthday, but not Molly Hartley
(Hayley Bennett, THE RICHES). As the day approaches, danger begins to
mount for the teen, and a secret from her past might be the key to the
horror in her present. THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY also stars GOSSIP
GIRLS favorite Chace Crawford.
 
 Flow
By focusing on a number of thirsty regions around the world, FLOW: FOR
LOVE OF WATER exposes a global crisis. The filmmakers journey to
places such as Africa, California, and India to demonstrate that
humanity is on the edge of a planet-wide water crisis that could spell
doom for everyone. This documentary from director Irena Salina
represents a call to action for people to recognize the importance of
water and its precarious current state.

 Year of the Fish
This indie film at once fuses animation with live-action and fairy
tales with modern life. In THE YEAR OF THE FISH, Ye Xian (An Nguyen)
has just arrived in New York City from China, but her hopes for the
American dream are soon dashed. When she won't provide clients at the
massage parlor where she works the requisite "happy ending," her boss
(Tsai Chin) relegates her to cleaning and laundry. However, the gift
of a goldfish from an odd man (Randall Duk Kim) and a budding
relationship with a jazz musician (Ken Leung) help to give Ye Xian
some hope. This contemporary take on Cinderella was shot on video, but
digital painting in post-production gives the film a beautiful, dreamy
look.
 
 Secret
A teenage boy learns the shocking secrets about his parents' lives
during World War II in this French drama. His father Maxime was

threat by the Nazi regime and riven with decisions that continue to
haunt them.
 
 Body of Lies
Though this thriller is the fourth collaboration between Ridley Scott
and Russell Crowe, it marks the veteran director's first pairing with
Leonardo DiCaprio. In this adaptation of a novel by David Ignatius,
DiCaprio plays a CIA agent who wants the help of a more experienced
agent (Crowe) in his investigation of a Jordanian terrorist.

 
 Sex Drive
Boasting an R rating for "for strong crude and sexual content, nudity,
language, (and) some drug and alcohol use," this raunchy comedy
promises to follow in the footsteps of films such as AMERICAN PIE and
ROAD TRIP. At age 18, Ian (Josh Zuckerman) is desperate to lose his
virginity. In fact, he's so gung-ho that he's willing to drive from
Chicago to Knoxville to meet the woman of his dreams, even though she
has no idea what he looks like. Joined by his friends Lance (Clark
Duke) and Felicia (Amanda Crew), Ian leaves on a cross-country trip
that results in an unexpected conclusion. SEX DRIVE also costars James
Marsden (ENCHANTED) and Seth Green (FAMILY GUY).
 
 Mirrors
After HIGH TENSION and THE HILLS HAVE EYES, French director Alexandre
Aja stays firmly grounded in horror territory with MIRRORS. In this
reimagining of a Japanese horror film, Kiefer Sutherland plays an
ex-cop whose home is invaded by spirits via its mirrors.
 
 Pride and Glory
Edward Norton and Colin Farrell play brothers in a family of cops in
this drama from director Gavin O'Connor (MIRACLE). After several New
York City cops are killed, one brother must investigate his own family
as he tries to solve the difficult case. Jon Voight costars.

 Death Race
Roger Corman's cult classic film DEATH RACE 2000 gets a fast-moving
follow-up with director Paul W.S. Anderson (AVP: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR)
behind the wheel. Jason Statham (THE TRANSPORTER) plays Jensen Ames, a
prisoner who is serving a sentence for a crime that he didn't commit.
But in this futuristic society, Ames can compete for his freedom with
a victory in a brutal three-day race.

Levithan. New York City's indie music scene is the setting for the
first date between Nick (Cera) and Norah (Dennings) as they search for
a secret show.

the watchmen?

THE DRAGON EMPEROR finds the dashing Rick and Evelyn O'Connell
(Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello, who took over for Rachel Weisz)
called upon for another world-saving adventure. The film opens in 50
B.C., when the ruthless Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) seeks to conquer one
last enemy, death, and become an immortal ruler. But when the Emperor
betrays an obliging sorceress (Michelle Yeoh), he and his army are
cursed to spend an eternity in statuesque limbo. Fast forward to 1946,
when Rick and Evelyn are struggling to adapt to their self-imposed
retirement. But the fates have other plans, and soon the O'Connells
are crossing paths with their somewhat estranged son, Alex (Luke
Ford). While enthusiastically carrying on the family's tomb-raiding
traditions, Alex has unwittingly brought the Dragon Emperor back to
life. With the world in peril, the O'Connells must overcome their
differences to prevent the Dragon Emperor from gaining immortality for
himself and his army. Along the way they're joined by a mysterious
young woman (Isabella Leong), a wily pilot, and a trio of Abominable
Snowmen. Jumping from Shanghai to the Himalayas to the Chinese desert,
director Rob Cohen (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) takes audiences on a
breathless adventure that continues THE MUMMY's love of quick wits,
close calls and big battles. The result is a spirited romp that proves
evil is no match against a family united.

 House Bunny
Shelley (Anna Faris) is proud of her status as a bubbly blond Bunny,
that is, until she gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion for reaching
the ripe old age of 27. So Shelley is forced to be the new house
mother for the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority, where she uses her talents to
transform the plain jane sisters into cute boy magnets. Colin Hanks,
AMERICAN IDOL's Katharine McPhee, and Emma Stone costar in this
