About A Boy

Growing up has nothing to do with age...

Will (Grant) is a 38-year old Londoner living a bachelor lifestyle on the back of royalties earned from a Christmas song penned by his father some years previously. A serial womaniser, Will comes up with the idea of attending a single parents group as a new way to pick up women. Inventing a two-year old son for himself, he meets lonely, bullied schoolboy Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) and his depressed, music therapist mother (Toni Collette). The intelligent Marcus soon learns Will's secret and so blackmails him into letting him hang out at his place and watch afternoon telly. However, what starts out as an uneasy quiz show watching alliance turns into an unlikely friendship...
 
   
A Few Good Men

One man is dead. Two men are accused of his murder. The entire Marines Corps is on trial. And 'A Few Good Men' are about to ignite the most explosive episode in US military history.

Universally acclaimed, 'A Few Good Men' unites the big screen’s biggest stars, as Hollywood heavyweights Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore lead an all star cast in director Rob Reiner’s powerful account of corruption, cover-up and a relentless quest for justice within the sacred corridors of the US Navy. With powerful performances from Kevin Bacon and Kiefer Sutherland, 'A Few Good Men' makes its mark as the major movie triumph of the decade.
   
A.I. - Artificial Intelligence

'Artificial Intelligence' is the story of David (Haley Joel Osment), the first mecha (a futuristic term for a mechanized human being) designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma "adopts" David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (Frances O’Connor) he's been "imprinted" to love, and make his way in the world. Traveling with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear, David escapes the Flesh Fair, where angry humans destroy mechas to "purge artificiality," and unexpectedly befriends Gigolo Joe (Jude Law), a robot designed to pleasure women. Joe agrees to help David in his quest to become human.

Director Stanley Kubrick originally developed A.I., at one point asking Spielberg to direct it. When Kubrick passed away, Spielberg took the reins. Using a treatment and thousands of drawings commissioned by Kubrick, Spielberg wrote his own screenplay (his first since 1979's 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind').

 

   
A Knight's Tale

William Ledger, a servant to a noble lord, turns the world of jousting upside down when he steps in to take the place of his dead master. Surviving the bout he begins to enter more tournaments under the pretence of being of noble blood, as common people are banned from taking part. Along with his trusty band of friends he sets about trying to win the hand of a local princess but also manages to cross the path of the current jousting world champion, the evil Count Adhemar, who is determined to destroy William in the competition. Heath Ledger plays William and brings a great freshness and enthusiasm to the part, while his side-kicks provide plenty of comedy in this excellent swashbuckling adventure.

 

   
A Life Less Ordinary

Robert (Ewan McGregor) is one of life’s losers. He works as a janitor in a giant corporation, but dreams of something less ordinary.

Sharp-tongued Celine (Cameron Diaz) on the other hand, has never wanted for anything in her short and pampered life as the daughter of Robert’s boss, Naville (Ian Holm). But like Robert she’s bored.

In a normal life these two souls would never even meet – but who said this story was normal? Two celestial cops are given the assignment of making Celine and Robert fall in love. What more can go wrong?

When the ship, La Amistad, is seized, these captives are brought to the United States where they are charged with murder and await their fate in prison. An enthralling battle ensues that captures the attention of the entire nation, confronting the very foundation of the American justice system. But for the men and women on trial, it is simply a fight for the basic right of all mankind... freedom.

 

   
Analyze This

Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal team with Lisa Kudrow, Chazz Palminteri and director/co-writer Harold Ramis to make you a comedy offer you can’t refuse in this laugh-out-loud mob hit. De Niro, deftly spoofing the wise guy roles that have been a staple of his estimable career, plays powerful New York crime family racketeer Paul Vitti. Crystal, always one joke ahead of sleeping with the fishes, is shrink Ben Sobel, who has just days to resolve Vitti’s emotional crisis and turn him into a happy, well-adjusted gangster. Yes, Sobel is a family psychiatrist. But surely this isn’t the kind of family he had in mind!

 

   
Angela's Ashes

Angela's Ashes, the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, comes to life in this stirring film from acclaimed director Alan Parker (Evita) starring Academy Award-nominee Emily Watson (Breaking The Waves) and Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty).  

Life in impoverished Depression-era Ireland holds little promise for young Frank McCourt, the oldest son in a tightly knit family. Living by his wits, cheered by his irrepressible spirit, and sustained by his mother's fierce love, Frank embarks on an inspiring journey to overcome the poverty of his childhood and reach the land of his dreams: America.

 

   
Anger Management

Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is usually a mild-mannered, non-confrontational guy. But after an altercation aboard an airplane, he is remanded to the care of anger management therapist, Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), who could probably use some anger management himself. Now Dave is really mad!
 
   

Antitrust

When Milo (Ryan Phillippe) graduates from college and lands his dream job writing software at a multi-billion dollar computer company, he couldn’t be more thrilled. The company’s magnetic founder (Tim Robbins) that he worshiped as a child is now his personal mentor. As he settles into his new position, Milo uncovers some dark secrets about the firm and soon learns that he can’t trust anyone but himself in the high stakes world of computer technology.

 

 

   
Amadeus - Director's Cut

It's 1781 and Antonio Salieri (Abraham) is the competent court composer to Emperor Joseph II. When Mozart (Oscar nominee Tom Hulce) arrives at court, Salieri is horrified to discover that the godlike musical gifts he desires for himself have been bestowed on a bawdy, impish jokester. Mad with envy, he plots to destroy Mozart by any means. Perhaps, even murder.

Now seen in a revitalised digital transfer and including more than 20 minutes worth of scenes not in the original release Amadeus The Director's Cut achieves a rare feat by improving on the already outstanding original.
 
   
American Beauty

Lester's wife hates him, his daughter Jane regards him with contempt, and his boss is positioning him for the axe. So Lester decides to make a few changes in his life; the freer he gets, the happier he gets, which is even more maddening to his wife and daughter. But Lester is about to learn that the ultimate freedom comes at the ultimate price. Winner of five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Screenplay and Cinematography.
