When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest’s questionable “visions” send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women’s disappearance. It’s a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere... and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it! Official web site: http://www.xfiles.com

The public has finally had enough – as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy.

21Plot Synopsis: Columbia Pictures' action/adventure 21 is inspired by the true story of the very brightest young minds in the country -- and how they took Vegas for millions. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who -- needing to pay school tuition -- finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth), Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne).

RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTIONDirected by: Russell Mulcahy Produced by: Paul W. S. Anderson, Jeremy Bolt, Robert Kulzer, Bernd Eichinger, Samuel Hadida
Written by: Paul W. S. Anderson Music by: Charlie Clouser Cinematography: David Johnson Editing by: Ryan Folsey Distributed by: Sony Release date: September 21, 2007 MPAA Rating: R - for strong horror violence throughout and some nudity. Release Company: Screen Gems Genre: Action/Adventure, Disaster, Science Fiction, Future/Futuristic Worlds, Diseases Official Website: The Official Resident Evil: Extinction Site Synopsis: The second sequel to the $100 million hit, "Resident Evil: Extinction" is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Oliveira (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke ) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead... and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive. After the events of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the Umbrella Corporation, despite the nuclear destruction of Raccoon City, discovered the T-Virus, their greatest bio-organic weapon which had the power to reanimate the dead as zombies, had escaped containment. Umbrella desperately tries to stop the T-Virus from turning the entire world's population into the undead, but after a series of T-Virus outbreaks over the space of 3-5 years, the human race is on the verge of extinction. Alice (Milla Jovovich), Umbrella's greatest Bio-Organic Weapon turned freedom fighter, is now alone in the desert wastelands of the remains of the United States, trying desperately to keep what people who are left alive and save them from the undead legions (which now includes animals), with the super-human strength and psychokinetic abilities she gained from her brief imprisonment by Umbrella. However, Alice not only has to contend with the zombie armies, but also psychotic-driven survivors and ultimately Umbrella itself, which seeks to develop a permanent cure/vaccine to the T-Virus to save what's left of humanity. Alice, however, is able to escape and is now hiding in the Nevada desert, near the ruins of Las Vegas. Alice rejoins fellow Raccoon survivors Carlos Oliveira (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), and also meets new survivors Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti). Alice finds a notebook during her travels with the survivor convoy, which tells of a place to the north, near Alaska, without infection (possibly due to its cold temperature). Believing in any chance for sanctuary, Alice and the others begin searching for means to reach this so-called sanctuary, which will drive them to face Umbrella once again (as only they have the advanced vehicles, computers and technology necessary for the survivors to escape). Failing to capture Alice, Umbrella, at the behest of Umbrella Chairman Albert Wesker, resorts to creating clones of Alice (from DNA they extracted during her brief imprisonment), but only a small minority of them have the necessary blood factors for the serum that Sam Isaacs needs. However, Isaacs is not concerned with saving humanity, but rather completing his perverted research into the "Ultimate: Lifeform", which was shut down many years earlier. Isaacs is able to secure additional resources for his research, but when Wesker finds out, he orders Isaacs to be murdered, but he narrowly escapes with his life. Isaacs uses the serum he made from his research on himself, turning himself into the "Ultimate Lifeform": Tyrant. Isaacs/Tyrant then begins searching for Alice to get the remaining materials he needs for the antidote, and Alice will be forced to fight him, and other powerful foes, if their plan to save humanity is to succeed and anyone is to remain alive.

FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFERDirector: Tim Story Writers (WGA): Don Payne (screenplay) and Mark Frost (screenplay) ... Release Date: 15 June 2007 (USA) Genre: Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Sci-Fi more Running TIme: 92 min Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Official Web Sites: (English version) http://www.fantasticfourmovie.com (French version) www.les4fantastiques.ca Synopsis: Reed Richards and Sue Storm are attempting to marry early in the film. The film's remaining story centers on the appearance of the Silver Surfer on Earth, as well as the return of Doctor Doom. The film begins two years after the first, with Doctor Doom having spent two years trapped in a casket and taking over Latveria. Doom desires to take the Silver Surfer's powers. He also reverts to his organic form. With Fantastic Four grossing $330 million worldwide, 20th Century Fox hired director Tim Story and screenwriter Mark Frost in December 2005 to return for the superhero team's sequel. Screenwriters Frost and Don Payne were hired to write the screenplay Payne has said the film is based upon Fantastic Four #48, in which Galactus also makes an appearance, as well as issues 57-60 in which Doom steals the Surfer's power. Payne has also said the film takes inspiration from the Ultimate Marvel limited series Ultimate Extinction. As of March 2, 2007, Galactus' design was not yet done, and by April 18 they were still unsure of whether he would speak. The film includes the Fantasti-Car, a larger role for Kerry Washington's character Alicia Masters, and in June 2006, the Silver Surfer was announced to appear in the sequel as a "villain / hero". The Silver Surfer has been created with a new computer-generated design. The sequel, whose working title was Fantastic Four 2, was officially titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in August 2006 with filming beginning on August 28 in Vancouver and set for a release date of June 15, 2007. Michael Chiklis' prosthetics as the Thing were also redesigned to allow him to take it off in between takes. In August 2006, actor Andre Braugher dropped out of an ER supporting role to be cast in Rise of the Silver Surfer. Braugher was cast as General Hager, whom director Story described as "an old acquaintance of Reed Richards and one of the major additions to the movie". In September, actor Doug Jones was confirmed to portray the Silver Surfer in addition to Julian McMahon reprising his role as Doctor Doom.

DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR)Director: Timur Bekmambetov Writer: Timur Bekmambetov Starring: Konstantin Khabensky, Aleksei Chadov, Yuri Kutsenko, Igor Lifanov, Sergei Lukyanenko, Rimma Markova, Vladimir Menshov, Nikolai Olyalin, Mariya Poroshina, Galina Tyunina, Viktor Verzhbitsky, Valeri Zolotukhin Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures Genre: Action, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thriller Official Site: www.foxsearchlight.com/daywatch Rating: R for violence Runtime: 140 minutes Synopsis: It is New Year's Eve of 2006, more than one year after the events of Night Watch. Anton Gorodetsky, the protagonist of the first film, finds himself in the middle of an approaching conflict between the Light and Dark Others, who are still bound with an uneasy truce. Anton is still a Night Watch operative, now working with his trainee and romantic interest, Svetlana (the healer from the first film, now a Light Other). As his son Yegor has now become a Dark Other, Anton is forced to secretly destroy evidence of Yegor's attacks on normal people, which violate the treaty, leaving the Night Watch unable to sentence Yegor. To redeem for his previous mistake, an attempt to use a witch's service to kill the unborn Yegor (shown in the beginning of the first film), Anton seeks the legendary Chalk of Fate, a magical chalk that could rewrite history, which was once Tamerlane's property and one of the main reasons for his numerous military successes. Meanwhile, Zavulon, the leader of the Dark Others and their Day Watch, is waiting for Yegor's birthday. At the birthday, Yegor would become a Great Other and acquire the power that would allow the Dark Others to break the treaty (which is only supported because the Others fear that the two sides will destroy each other). Being grateful to Anton for his covering of Yegor doesn't stop the Day Watch from trying to frame Anton and get him sentenced for murder. They succeed, despite the efforts made by Boris Ivanovich Geser (the head of the Night Watch) to protect Anton from the Dark Others by switching his body with that of Olga the sorceress (in this form, his relationship with Svetlana suddenly gains a boost, as Svetlana confesses to the false Olga that she actually loves Anton). Finally Anton gets hold of the Chalk of Fate, but it is soon stolen by Yegor. Zavulon cannot use or even touch the Chalk (it would be a direct violation of the treaty), and it ends up being used by Alisa Donnikova, Zavulon's minion, for her personal desires. Yegor's birthday party begins soon after that; the guests are Dark Others (some of them are Russian pop stars), although Anton makes his way to the party as Yegor's father and pretends to be drunk to expose the real committer of the murder he has been charged with - his neighbor vampire, Kostia's father. He is unable, however, to avert a disaster: as Svetlana rushes to the party to find Anton, she pushes Yegor and accidentally spills his blood, prompting Zavulon to break the treaty. Yegor, now a Great Other, unleashes an apocalypse upon Moscow. The city is nearly destroyed, starting with the Ostankino Tower; a fierce battle between the Light and Dark Others follows, with few survivors on each side. One of them, however, is Anton, who manages to reclaim the Chalk of Fate from Alisa and runs through the ruins of Moscow to the house where he, thirteen years ago, made his visit to the witch — the visit that caused the entire sequence of events, starting Anton's own initiation into the Night Watch. Anton writes "NO" on a wall in this house; Moscow reverts to normal, and time is thrown back to 1992. In the epilogue, as a result of the Chalk's influence, Anton rethinks his intent to kill his unborn child and decides not to strike a deal with the witch. He walks out of the house, into the street, where he meets Svetlana, and where Zavulon and Geser are sitting on a bench, without any signs of hostility, wondering whether Anton will recognize her or not. Eventually Geser's prediction that he will recognize her comes true, and the film ends with Anton and Svetlana walking together under an umbrella — down the street and away. Featuring the cinematic vision of cutting-edge Director/Writer Timur Bekmambetov, DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) is based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko and Vladimir Vasiliev. When the previous installment, NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR), was released in its native Russia in July 2004, it became an instant smash hit breaking all film gross records in post-Soviet history. Made for a mere $4 million, the film out-grossed both LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING and SPIDERMAN 2 at the Russian box office, eventually taking in more than $16 million. DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) has done even better, grossing over $30 million. A dazzling mix of state-of-the-art visual effects, amazing action sequences, and nail-biting horror set in contemporary Moscow, DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides. This ancient war between the forces of Light and Darkness is reaching a tragic outcome. Each side has gained a powerful Great Other, who are headed for a clash, and Anton Gorodetsky is once again caught up in the midst of this conflict. On one side is Anton's son, Egor, who has joined the ranks of the Dark Others, while Anton's love interest Svetlana is the hope of the Light. But that's just the beginning of his troubles: Anton is on the run after having been accused of murder. Things are getting worse, and only the ancient Chalk of Fate can save the day. The problem is the magical Chalk was lost hundreds of years ago... DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) stars Konstantin Khabensky, Maria Poroshina, Vladimir Menshov, Galina Tyunina, Victor Verzhbitskiy, Zhanna Friske, Dima Martynov, Valeriy Zolotukhin and Aleksey Chadov. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov from a screenplay by Bekmambetov, Sergei Lukyanenko and Alexander Talal, DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) was produced by Konstantin Ernst, the General Director of Channel One Russia, Russia's biggest and most successful television network, and Anatoly Maximov, Deputy General Director. The behind-the-scenes creative team includes Director of Photography Sergei Trofimov, Art Directors Valery Victorov and Mukhtar Mirzakeyev, Editor Dmitri Kiselev and Costume Designer Varia Avdiushko. The film's music is composed by Yuri Poteyenko. Sergei Lukyanenko and Vladimir Vasiliev's novel Day Watch -- and its prequel Night Watch and sequel Dusk Watch -- marked a watershed in Russian literature. The book's story of supernatural battles breaking out on the frenetic, everyday streets of modern Moscow struck a resonant chord with a whole new crowd -- young Russian readers, fantasy fans and Internet users -- who turned them into instant hip, cult classics, selling 500,000 copies. Since the Russian release of the feature films DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) and NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR), the trilogy has gone on to sell another 2.5 million copies.
