Match

Drama
<p>Patrick Stewart gives a captivating performance in this witty, emotionally gripping adaptation of director Stephen Belber's own Tony Award-nominated play.

As Tobi spins salacious tales from his former career, an ulterior motive for the couple's visit emerges, forcing the trio to confront a secret that may connect them all. Driven by Stewart's tour-de-force performance, Match moves masterfully between razor-sharp comic banter and heartrending poignancy.</p>

Match Point

Drama, Thriller
<p>Scarlett Johansson ("The Island"), Jonathan Rhys-Meyers ("Bend It Like Beckham"), Emily Mortimer ("Lovely & Amazing"), Matthew Goode ("Chasing Liberty"), Brian Cox ("The Bourne Identity,", "The Bourne Supremacy") and Penelope Wilton ("Iris," "Calendar Girls") star in "Match Point," a new dramatic thriller from writer/director Woody Allen.</p> <p>A one-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) and marries his sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only dreamed of. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is torn by his attraction to Tom’s impossibly beautiful and sensual fiance, Nola (Scarlett Johansson). The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short again - and whether or not his luck runs out.</p> <p>"Match Point" is a drama about ambition, the seduction of wealth, love, and sexual passion. Perhaps most importantly, however, the story reveals the huge part luck plays in events, refuting the comforting misconception that more of life is under our control than really is.</p> <p>Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Woody Allen ("Annie Hall," "Hannah and Her Sisters"), "Match Point" represents a departure for the native New Yorker, the majority of whose films lovingly depict New York an--not always so lovingly--New Yorkers. Crossing the Atlantic for the first time in his film career, Allen set "Match Point" in London, where it was also filmed.</p>

Matchstick Men

Drama, Comedy
<p>Meet Roy (NICOLAS CAGE) and Frank (SAM ROCKWELL), a couple of pros at the small-time con. As in con artists. Grifters. Matchstick Men. Take your pick.</p> <p>What Roy, a veteran of the grift, and Frank, his ambitious protege, are swidling-er, make that selling - these days are "water filtration systems", bargain-basement water filters bought by unsuspecting people who pay ten times their value in order to win bogus prizes like cars, jewelry and overseas vacations...which they never collect. These scams net the film-flam men a few hundred here, another thousand there, which eventually adds up to a lucrative partnership.</p> <p>Roy's private life, however, is not as successful. An obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe (and chain-smoker) with no personal relationships to call his own, Roy is barely hanging on to his wits, and when his idiosyncrasies begin to threaten his criminal productivity he's forced to seek the help of a psychoanalyst (BRUCE ALTMAN) just to keep him in working order.</p> <p>While Roy is looking for a quick fix (i.e.pills), his therapy begets more than he bargained for : the revelation that he has a teenage daughter - a child whose existence he suspected but never dared confirm. What's more troubling, 14-year-old Angela (ALISON LOHMAN) wants to meet the father she never knew.</p> <p>At first, Angela's appearance disrupts her neurotic father's carefully ordered routine. Soon, however, with his own unique spin on parenthood, Roy begins to enjoy a relationship he never dreamed of having with his daughter. But while he develops paternal feelings for the 14-year-old, she's developing a fascination with Daddy's questionable career.</p> <p>Finally, at Angela's insistence and against his better judgement, the overprotective con artist begins teaching her some tricks of the trade and, much to his ambivalent mix of surprise, pride and dismay, she displays a remarkable gift for the grift.</p> <p>Now, like a kid with a new toy, Angela wants in on the partnership. But that could seriously jeopardize Roy's peace of mind - not to mention his whole way of life.</p>

Matrix Reloaded, The

Action, Sci-Fi
<p>The Matrix Reloaded starts when Neo and Morpheus have already successfully freed quite a few people from the Matrix. The setting is supposed to be Zion, the last human city. The people of Zion look much like the crew of Morpheus' ship, worn out clothing and unusual piercings and hair styles. Some of the citizens have no plugs (natural born) and some have plugs (from the matrix). There are more ships as well.</p> <p>In Reloaded, it is assumed that Neo is going to be able to do all of the amazing stuff he did in the end of "The Matrix", such as fly, jump into people, dodge bullets, run up walls, etc. The Wachowski brothers said in an interview that they wanted to be able to have a believable superhero movie, and "The Matrix" was a great way to make that happen. The special effects are going to be new, exciting, dramatic, and best of all, much, much better than in "The Matrix", if you can believe that.</p> <p>There will be a car chase scene on a highway built just for the movie. The highway has since been torn down, it was in California near an abandoned naval base. Numerous explosions have been set off for the movie as well. Scenes have been filmed in tunnels and in high altitude airplanes. There is also going to be an elaborate dance sequence with hundreds of citizens from Zion. Yet another scene is going to include Neo fighting people with swords and other hand to hand combat weaponry in some sort of a mansion. It is my opinion that this mansion is owned by the character played by Lambert Wilson.</p> <p>There also might be another person that can distort the Matrix like Neo, and he/she might be a double agent.</p> <p>It is assumed that there will be a love story between Neo and Trinity, as you must have expected seeing as how Neo is Trinity's true love.</p> <p>There is also suspected to be a scene involving replication of Neo and the agents, with 20 Agents versus 20 Neo replicas.</p>

Matt "The Horror" Bilella

<p>In a mere fourteen minutes, "Matt 'The Horror' Bilella" delivers a punchy, genre-bending experience that blurs the line between documentary and psychological thriller. The film follows its titular subject, Matt Bilella, a man who has transformed his life into a living horror show, embracing the macabre as both a persona and a profession. Driven by a deep-seated fascination with fear and the grotesque, Matt navigates a world of latex masks, fake blood, and jump scares, but the line between performance and reality begins to fray. The central conflict emerges as Matt confronts the cost of his obsession, questioning whether his public identity as "The Horror" has consumed his private self. With a tone that is both darkly comedic and unnervingly sincere, the film explores themes of identity, artistry, and the thin line between passion and madness. Directed with a kinetic energy that matches its subject, this short film offers a tight, unsettling glimpse into a mind where everyday life is just another scene in a horror movie.</p>

Max

Drama, Biography
<p>Munich, 1918: In a world reeling from World War One and the shock of the new, everyone's mind is on the future. It is a time of high-octane debate and dreams of drastic change, a time when the lines between art, politics and personal beliefs have been blurred beyond reckoning. The only question that remains is this: now what? In what direction will things turn next?</p> <p>For Max Rothman (JOHN CUSACK), a soldier just returned from the Great War, the present has certainly turned out radically different from what he imagined. He returned from the war, one of the walking wounded, a damaged man trying to sort out his life. Once a promising artist, he lost his right arm and with it, his ability to paint. Yet the future still draws Max like a magnet, fueled by the restlessness, typified by the birth of modernism. Now, he opens up what quickly becomes an acclaimed art gallery. Also caught in the Post-War struggle are his beautiful wife (MOLLY PARKER) and children, a once picturesque family, now torn by uncertainty and Max's infatuation with his alluring artistic mistress (LEELEE SOBIESKI).</p> <p>But then, at a celebratory party for the opening of his new show, Max meets another man interested in the future: a fellow war veteran and aspiringpainter, a man with no family, no home and no friends. His name: Adolf Hitler (NOAH TAYLOR), and his decision to transfer his creative talents to politics, where ar last he finds an outlet for his raw beliefs, sets into motion the most catastrophic period of the 20th century.</p> <p>From Oscar-monimated screenwriter Menno Meyjes ("The Color Purple") comes MAX, a story of two unlikely friends facing an uncertain future and one's fateful decision to embrace a nightmare vision of evil. Deeply unsettling, defiantly humorous and ultimately, tragically moving, MAX is more historical fable than straight-ahead historical drama -- a tale that careens through art, politics, love, hope, intolerance, obsession and destructive malevolence to provide an original and intimate portrait of a major turning point in modern history.</p> <p>MAX is the directorial debut of Menno Meyjes, who also wrote the screenplay. The film is produced by Andras Hamori ("Sunshine", "The Sweet Hereafter", "existenz").</p>
