Time waits for one man
Following up his critically acclaimed hit "Walk the Line", James Mangold breathes fresh life into the quintessential American genre, the western, with "3:10 to
Dan Evans (Christian Bale) is an honest man who has spent his life abiding by the rules, and has precious little to show for it. A former Union Army sharpshooter, Dan emerged from the Civil War with a hobbled leg and a small compensation that allowed him to move his wife Alice (Gretchen Mol) and two sons to a modest ranch in the
Then fortune throws Dan a bone with the capture the notorious outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), whose violent hold-ups and roguish persona are the stuff of legend. A brilliant strategist and natural leader, Wade commands undying loyalty among his men, particularly his second-in-command, the ruthless Charlie Prince (Ben Foster). Together, Wade and his gang have run roughshod over the Southern Pacific Railroad, making off with enormous sums and killing more than a few men over the course of several dozen robberies.
Arresting Wade is but the first step in bringing him to justice, and certainly the easiest. From the moment he is taken into custody in the town of
Seizing the opportunity to save his ranch and his family, Dan hires himself out to the posse. Leading the expedition is veteran bounty hunter Byron McElroy (Peter Fonda), a deadly God fearing mercenary with a burning hatred of Wade. The group also includes Tucker (Kevin Durand), a local thug; and Doc Potter (Alan Tudyk), a gentle veterinarian with little taste for violence.
But even a shackled Ben Wade is a lethal threat. Beneath the charming, attractive exterior lies an incisive student of human nature who can exploit the slightest glimmer of human weakness to his advantage. When Wade sees an opportunity -- be it to escape or to avenge -- he acts.
During the perilous three-day journey to Contention, the posse will gain an uninvited member and men, both good and bad, will fall. As their number dwindles, Dan Evans rediscovers the strengths he thought he'd lost as he fights to complete the mission. And as the clock ticks down, these two men from opposite ends of the moral spectrum take one another's measure and find an unexpected kinship.
By the time the train whistle sounds in its approach to Contention, Dan Evans' last-ditch attempt to save his ranch has become something deeper and more profound: the chance to redeem himself, in his family's eyes and his own. A chance to teach to his son what it is to be a man.

The Brothers Solomon
They want to put a baby in you.
The Brothers Solomon follows the hapless quest of brothers John (Will Arnett) and Dean Solomon (Will Forte) to find a woman -- any woman -- willing to bear their child and fulfill the wish of their dying father (Lee Majors). After a few dating disasters, it looks as if the brothers may beat the odds and find what they're looking for when Dean meets a woman eager to have his baby. Unfortunately, she is flattened by a passing bus right before his eyes.
Undeterred, the single-minded brothers change tactics, ditching conventional dating to try their luck with, in short succession, a street hooker, an adoption agency and finally, the Craigslist website. Their online ad quickly attracts a response from Janine (Kristen Wiig), who agrees to be a surrogate mother for their child -- for a hefty fee. Janine's pining ex, James (Chi McBride), is none too thrilled about her decision, but a trip to the fertility clinic ensues and before long Janine is with child.
As the pregnancy progresses and the brothers embark on an ill-advised self-study course in parenting, Janine finally begins to warm to the brothers' earnest enthusiasm. Even James, with whom she is now reunited, can't help but laugh at their antics. Perhaps they will make decent dads after all.
But as the birth date looms, Janine gets cold feet and vanishes. For the first time, the brothers' tireless optimism flags and it occurs to them that -- despite the double Ph.D.s they each earned during their home schooling days in the North Pole -- they might be losers after all. But rather than give up, the tenacious siblings decide to do everything within their power to find Janine and fulfill their father's wish.

The Bubble
Three young Israelis, two guys and a girl, share an apartment in Tel Aviv's hippest neighborhood. As they try to put aside political conflicts and focus on their lives and loves, these progressive 20-somethings are often accused of living in an escapist "bubble". Among them are three young Israeli flat mates: headstrong Lulu, who works in a bath products boutique, flamboyant Yali, who manages a trendy café, and brooding music store clerk Noam, who spends his weekends serving in the National Guard at checkpoints.
When Noam meets and falls in love with a young Palestinian man named Ashraf, the young Israelis decide to help Ashraf stay on in Tel Aviv illegally. They dress him in modern Israeli garb, give him a Hebrew name and put him to work in Yali's café. They all decide to celebrate their peaceful coexistence at a beach party calling for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories. But the young people's utopia is shattered by the political and social realities of the
