New Releases

The following are new releases opening in theaters in the next week.

Carlos A myth in his own lifetime, Carlos is a central figure in the history of international terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s, from pro-Palestinian activism to the Japanese Red Army. He was at once both a figure of the extreme left and an opportunistic mercenary in the pay of powerful Middle Eastern secret services. He formed his own organization, based it behind the Iron Curtain and was active during the final years of the Cold War. CARLOS tells the story of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez who, for two decades, was one of the most wanted terrorists, on the planet. Between 1974 and 1994, he lived several lives under various pseudonyms, weaving his way through the complexities of international politics of the period. Starring Edgar Ramirez, Alexander Beyer, Anna Thalbach, Susanne Wuest, Christoph Bach Genre - Drama View trailers and video clips

What unfolds is an unlikely romance between two stray souls chased by bandidos and the police alike. A lawless, reckless journey of self-discovery through a jagged, breathtaking South American landscape.

Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18-year quest to free Kenny. Belief in her brother -- and her quest for the truth -- pushes Betty Anne and her team to uncover the facts and utilize DNA evidence with the hope of exonerating Kenny.
