TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Swift says, “Wow, I can remember my dad taking me to see Tron when I could barely see over the concession stand, that film still resonates in me.”

In 1983, first-time filmmaker Mark Rosman wrote Seven Sisters, a startling new horror screenplay that would go on to become the surprising box office success: House on Sorority Row. Rosman then became a sought after television and feature writer-director, leaving his first project to the vaults until his screenplay would be rediscovered by producers Mike Karz and Darrin Holender.

Mike Karz had just worked with screenwriter Josh Stolberg on Good Luck Chuck and thought he and on-and-off collaborator Peter Goldfinger might combine well to create a new story based on the original screenplay. One stipulation was that more humor be injected into the basic horror premise.

The screenwriters went about creating a re-imagined version of Mark Rosman’s original story, updating it while retaining some of the original’s framework.

Swift says, “Rumor reminds me of daddy holding that shotgun – note to bad-guys, don’t mess with the Willis clan.”

Buffalo Grove High School valedictorian Denis Cooverman (PAUL RUST) has had quite an academic career…on paper, at least. Superlative student, conscientious young gentleman and patently obvious dork, Denis has played it safe and made it all the way to graduation day without ever having really experienced some of the joys of higher learning: breaking curfew, destruction of property, over-consumption of alcohol, fist fights, late nights, fast cars or faster women (actually, women of any sort).

But all of that is about to change, and all by uttering five little words: “I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER.”

Rick Swift says, “That isn’t a ruler in his hand.  Oh my!” 

Let me hear your take on this one.

Rick Swift says, “I didn’t like the first one, and I am not expecting much from the follow-up, yes corny baseball reference was a dig. Maybe the new director will improve the production . . . I am not holding my breath”

Directed by Chris Weitz

In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

PARK Chan-wook’s most ambitious film: Perfecting his 10-year long dream project

THIRST is the film that PARK Chan-wook–the master director who received the world’s attention for his unique storylines and images–has been trying to perfect for a long time.

In his previous films, like OLD BOY, SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE, and SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE, PARK has highlighted characters that faced ethical dilemmas. By capturing characters that commit crimes and their fight for redemption, PARK has repeatedly explored the questions of human existence. In that sense, PARK’s THIRST could be considered the apex of his film style. The irony of a priest, the ultimate symbol of humanism, in a situation where he must drink others’ blood to survive as a vampire best illustrates the relationship between sin and redemption that PARK has long been exploring.

Rick Swift says, “I can still remember the original, devastatingly brutal for its time and wonderfully inspired.  This newest chapter tells the story I have longed for many many years now.”

Synopsis

The year is 2018.

Judgment Day has come and gone, leveling modern civilization. An army of Terminators roams the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts. But small groups of survivors have organized into a Resistance, hiding in underground bunkers and striking when they can against an enemy force that vastly outnumbers them.

Controlling the Terminators is the artificial intelligence network Skynet, which became self-aware 14 years earlier and, in the blink of an eye, turned on its creators, unleashing nuclear annihilation on an unsuspecting world.

Only one man saw Judgment Day coming. One man, whose destiny has always been intertwined with the fate of human existence: John Connor (Christian Bale).
