Captivity
When you think the worst has happened... think worse.
Top cover girl and fashion model, Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) has it all - beauty, fame, money and power. Her face appears on covers of hundreds of magazines. At the top of her game, Jennifer is
Held captive in a cell, Jennifer is subjected to a series of terrifying, life-threatening tortures that could only be conceived by a twisted, sadistic mind.
Inspired by the fact that over 850,000 people are reported missing every year in the United States, many of whom are never seen again, "Captivity," follows the story of one woman who is abducted and tortured, held against her will in a place where days turn into weeks. Her will to escape and survive is challenged every moment by a maniac's desire to demoralize innocent victims and play out his sick game that has been played many times before Jennifer was taken.
A combination of "Saw" and "Hostel" meets "Silence of the Lambs," "Captivity" is a psychological thriller/horror film that shows us the true terror of the crimes of abduction and confinement that are committed every day by serial killers and psychopaths at large.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Roland Joffe ("The Killing Fields," "The Mission"), "Captivity" delves deeply into the minds of both captor and victim with a fresh and terrifying view of this epidemic horror.
Being released this summer in theatres nation-wide, "Captivity" has been called one of the most controversial films of the year. It's a disturbing and raw, yet classy and thought provoking film which will leave you terrified, and looking over your shoulder as you leave the theatre wondering if you could be next.

Talk To Me
Never underestimate a man with something to say.
Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle portrays the one and only Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. in Talk to Me. Petey's story is funny, dramatic, inspiring - and real.
In the mid-to-late 1960s, in
From the first wild morning on the air, Petey relies on the more straight-laced Dewey to run interference at WOL-AM, where Dewey is the program director. At the station, Petey becomes an iconic radio personality, surpassing even the established popularity of his fellow disc jockeys, Nighthawk (Cedric The Entertainer) and Sunny Jim (Vondie Curtis Hall). Combining biting humor with social commentary, Petey openly courts controversy for station owner E.G. Sonderling (Emmy Award winner Martin Sheen).
Petey was determined to make not just himself but his community heard during an exciting and turbulent period in American history. As Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man speaking directly to them about race and power in

Interview
A journalist and a starlet take on media, truth and celebrity.
In "Interview," the beautiful Sienna Miller ("Factory Girl," "Casanova," "Alfie") and actor/director Steve Buscemi ("Lonesome Jim," "Fargo," "Reservoir Dogs") go head-to-head in a sexually charged drama about media, truth, and celebrity.
Self-destructive journalist Pierre Peders (Buscemi) is no stranger to violence and inhumanity. Having made his name as a war reporter, he has traveled the world seeing some of the most horrifying sights imaginable. So he feels that his current puff-piece assignment, an interview with pop diva, TV and movie star Katya (Miller), is beneath his dignity. The two meet in a restaurant and, instantly, it's a collision of two worlds-Pierre's serious political focus and Katya's superficial world of celebrity. But perhaps all is not as it appears.
When
Each is scarred in their own way, aching from deep, hidden pain. But honest revelations give way to punishing deceptions. Their confrontation evolves into a passionate verbal chess game spiked with wit, intrigue and sexual tension, capped with a riveting twist ending.
