Idlewild

Set against the backdrop of a 1930s southern speakeasy, "Idlewild" explores the lives of Percival, the club's shy piano player, and Rooster, the club's showy lead performer and manager. "Idlewild" synthesizes drama, music, cinema and style to bring the tale of struggling singers to life.

Chris Pontius, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, and the whole crew are up to it again with the sequel to 2002's Jackass: The Movie.





New Police Story


After several years starring in a succession of Hollywood blockbusters that many of his fans believe diluted his dazzling stunt and fighting skills for Western consumption, Jackie Chan makes a welcome return to Hong Kong cinema and to spectacular form in this action-packed crime thriller.

Thus begins a terrifying experience where the teens are taken to a secluded house of horrors, where a young, would-be killer is being nurtured.
