New Releases

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

Drive Angry Nicolas Cage stars as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out of hell for one last chance at redemption. Intent on stopping a vicious cult who murdered his daughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice her baby beneath a full moon. He's joined by Piper (Amber Heard) - a young, sexy waitress who liberates her ex-boyfriend's cherry-red muscle car in order to help Milton. Now, the two of them are hot on the trail of the deadly leader of the cult, Jonah King (Billy Burke), who believes it is his destiny to use the baby to unleash hell on earth. But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton's problems. The police are after him too. And worse, an enigmatic killer known only as "The Accountant" - who has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to hell. With wicked cunning and hypnotic savagery, the Accountant will relentlessly pursue Milton at high speed across the country until his mission is accomplished. Fueled by high octane and pure rage, Milton must use his anger to go beyond all human limits to avenge his daughter's murder, before his last chance at redemption is revoked. Starring Nicolas Cage, Katy Mixon, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Billy Burke Genre - Action/Adventure View trailers and video clips

Glove (Geu-leo-beu) Kim Sang-nam (Jeong Jae-young), a hot-tempered former professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of hearing-impaired players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case. At first, Kim has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who can't hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game. Motivated, Kim decides to help them prepare for the nationals. Starring Jin-woong Jo, Mi-Kyeong Kim, Gyu-su Jeong, Gook-hwan Jeon, Kyeong Jin Genre - Drama View trailers and video clips

The Grace Card When a man loses his son in an accident, the ensuing 18 years of bitterness and pain erodes his love for his family -- and leaves him angry with God and his fellow man. His rage stonewalls his career in the police department and makes for a combustible squad car when he's partnered with a rising star on the force -- who happens to be a committed pastor and a loving family man. Can they somehow join forces to help one another when it's impossible for either of them to look past their differences -- especially the most obvious one? The worst prison is the one we make for ourselves. Witness redemption by extending The Grace Card -- and never underestimate the power of forgiveness. Starring Michael Joiner, Mike Higgenbottom, Rob Erickson, Louis Gossett Jr., Cindy Hodge Genre - Drama View trailers and video clips

violence and thematic elements

Hall Pass Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who have a lot in common, including the fact that they have each been married for many years. But when the two men begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their individual marriages: granting them a "hall pass," one week of freedom to do whatever they want...no questions asked. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But it isn't long before they discover that their expectations of the single life-and themselves-are completely, and hilariously, out of sync with reality. Starring Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate, Alyssa Milano, Alexandra Daddario Genre - Comedy View trailers and video clips

Heartbeats (Les amours imaginaires) Francis (Xavier Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri) are close friends. One day, during a lunch, they meet Nicolas (Niels Schneider), a young man from the country newly arrived in town. As one rendezvous leads troublingly to another – whether real or imagined, the signs are all bad – each of the two friends slides deeper into obsessive fantasies around the same object of desire. And the deeper they slide, the more their once cast-iron friendship begins to crack under the pressure of competing for the new kid on the block. Starring Xavier Dolan, Niels Schneider, Marie Camille Genre - Drama View trailers and video clips

Justin Bieber Never Say Never: The Director's Fan Cut Starring Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jaden Smith, Shawn Stockman, Wanya Morris Genre - Documentary View trailers and video clips

Of Gods and Men (Des hommes et des dieux) Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realize that they have no choice but to stay… come what may. This film is loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996. Starring Lambert Wilson, Michael Lonsdale, Olivier Rabourdin, Philippe Laudenbach, Jacques Herlin Genre - Drama View trailers and video clips
