Cooler, The

Drama
<p>Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy) is the unluckiest guy in Vegas. From a failed marriage to an estranged son to a lost cat, everything Bernie touches turns bad.</p> <p>Once upon a time, Bernie was a troubled gambler with markers all over town, including a big tab at the Shangri-La casino run by his friend Shelly Kaplow (Alec Baldwin). When the debts went bad Shelly saved Bernie’s life by covering them, but then he kneecapped Bernie and put him to work on the floor of the Shangri-La, where Lootz payed off his debt day by day over many years.</p> <p>Shelly recognized that Bernie’s luck was so bad it was contagious, so Shelly made Bernie the casino’s "cooler". All it takes is Bernie’s mere presence at a hot table to kill the winning streak. If he should so much as touch the dice, you’re looking at the Las Vegas version of a nuclear winter.</p> <p>As THE COOLER opens, Bernie is just days away from fulfilling his debt to Shelly when he meets Natalie (Maria Bello), a new cocktail waitress at the Shangri-La. Natalie sweeps Bernie off his feet, and after a night of much-needed raucous sex Bernie is in love.</p> <p>When Natalie starts to love him back, Bernie’s luck starts to change. Feeling good for the first time in years, Bernie can’t wait to leave Las Vegas and move on with his life with the woman of his dreams.</p> <p>But Shelly can’t afford to lose Bernie, especially since the partners in the Shangri-La have sent in Larry Sokolov (Ron Livingston) to shake up the place. Just itching to take over, Sokolov sees the hidden potential in Shangri-La. He envisions a new, slick palace with three floors of gaming, an entertainment center and a roller coaster ­ everything Shelly’s beloved "old school" casino is not.</p> <p>Sokolov’s new plan would leave no place for Buddy (Paul Sorvino), the aging singer and lead attraction in Shangri-La’s Paradise Lounge. Instead, Sokolov is talking to Johnny Capella (Joey Fatone), Vegas’ answer to Harry Connick Jr. and one of the hottest acts on the strip.</p> <p>Under increasing pressure from Sokolov and fearful that his beloved hotel and his old ways are about to be history, Shelly becomes willing to do anything to keep Bernie and his cooling abilities, which have really gone on the fritz since Natalie opened her heart to him. One night, the Shangri-La loses close to a million dollars because of Bernie’s newfound happiness.</p> <p>But Bernie is brought back to earth when his estranged son Mikey (Sean Hatosy) rolls into town with his pregnant girlfriend Charlene (Estella Warren). Mikey puts the touch on his father for $3,000, then is caught gambling with loaded dice at Shelly’s craps table. And everyone knows that cheating at Shelley Kaplow’s casino can bring deadly consequences.</p> <p>With Mikey in his grip, Shelly knows he has Bernie right back where he wants him, under his control. Thinking he’ll never get out of Vegas, Bernie asks Natalie to leave him for a better life, and Bernie once again finds himself alone, cooling tables in the purgatory of the Shangri-La. But Natalie refuses to be rejected, and her actions precipitate a violent confrontation with Shelly, who will give up no ground.</p> <p>Ultimately, Bernie and Natalie find themselves in an impossible dilemma, one that can only be solved with a lot of love, and even more luck.</p>

Core, The

Thriller, Sci-Fi
<p>When 17 people suddenly drop dead within a 10-block radius in Boston, geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) and French atomic weapons expert Dr. Serge Laveque (Tcheky Karyo) are summoned by General Thomas Purcell (Richard Jenkins) to Washington D.C, to find out if the deaths are due to a covert enemy electromagnetic weapon. When it's determined that this was not an act of war, the government breathes a sigh of relief and the scientists are dismissed.</p> <p>But Keyes can't let go of the deaths so easily, and when other bizarre "natural" phenomena begin occuring worldwide, he suspects the earth's electromagnetic field has been compromised. Working with his team at the University of Illinois, Keyes discovers the mystery behind the strange occurrences is more frightening than any act of war. For reasons unknown, the earth's inner core has stopped rotating, causing the planet's electromagnetic field to rapidly deteriorate. At the same time, life as we know it begins deteriorating as well, causing birds to lose their ability to navigate, whales to erratically change their migration patterns and people with peacemakers to suddenly drop dead. Even the famed Northern Lights appear in the night sky a hundred times brighter and farther south than ever before.</p> <p>And things will only get worse. As the electromagnetic field, which shields the earth from solar radiation, slowly collapses, airplanes will start falling from the sky, and everything electronic will be fried. Static discharge in the atmosphere will create "super-storms" with hundreds of lighning strikes per square mile, and deadliest of all, microwave radiation will literally cook the planet.</p> <p>Terrified by his findings, Keyes seeks out the opinion of renowned geophysicist Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), an arrogant scientist, who at first is unbelieving, but soon arrives at the same horrifying conclusion. Soon the two men, along with atomic weapons expert Leveque, are whisked away by federal agents to the Utah desert to meet Dr. Ed "Braz" Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo), a brilliant scientist who has been working for the last twenty years on a craft that can travel deep into the earth some day. But with no more time to reasearch, and with money suddenly no object, the U.S. government and the United Nations rally together to create a team of world experts that will build a fully functional subterranean craft -- immediately. And, because Keyes and his colleagues are scientists, not pilots, astronauts Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs (Hillary Swank) and Colonel Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) are recruited to become the world's first "terranauts".</p> <p>With their hastily built ship and their highly skilled, wildly diverse team of professionals to man it, the government and the world make the ultimate leap of faith...not into outer space but into inner space, journeying into unknown regions of the earth in the hopes of detonating a nuclear device which they hope will reactivate the core and restore balance to the planet.</p> <p>Watching over the ship and crew on the earth's surface is Mission Control, led by NASA Control Chief Talma "Stick" Stickley (Alfre Woodard). With her is a room full of scientist experts and government officials, and unfortunately, an eccentric young genius called Rat (DJ Qualls). Formerly convicted of computer fraud, Rat is there to hack into the Internet to suppress information about the situation in order to prevent widespread panic. Secretly, however, he is also feeding Keyes covert data about something geophysicist Zimsky is hiding from the crew, something that the U.S. government is privy to and that could determine the entire teams's fate.</p> <p>And so, as terranauts Iverson and Beck maneuver the subterranean ship -- appropriately named "Virgil" after a character in Date's Inferno -- through solid rock, and as they carve their way through a wondrous landscape of magma waterfalls, a mammoth geode full of crystals and a vast diamond field, the crew hardly knows what to expect.</p>
