Synopsis: Leave your inhibitions at the door! You are cordially invited to join the wildest party of all time that pits liquor, luxury and loose women against the groom-to-be’s best intentions in Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation! A hardcore partier bids farewell to the single life with one last blowout weekend in Miami with his fun-loving pals—but it might just put a crimp in his wedding plans if his bride-to-be finds out what’s going on. A hotel full of bikini-clad hotties, strippers bent on seduction, a sex addicts convention, plus lots of free flowing alcohol adds up to an unbridled romp in this howlingly funny film.

LAKE OF FIRE

Cast: Alan M. Dershowitz, Noam Chomsky, Pat Buchanan, Randall Terry

Synopsis: Fifteen years in the making, this epic documentary stands unquestionably as the definitive work on the ever-dividing issue of abortion. Filmed entirely in black and white, director Tony Kaye's (American History X) LAKE OF FIRE probes into the complexities of abortion proving both sides of the issue have equal historical and moral credibility. It is measured, intelligent, and suitably objective, regardless of one's own position.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

Synopsis: Acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen deliver their most gripping and ambitions film yet in this sizzling and supercharged action-thriller. When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two millions dollars in irresistible cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. Not even West Texas law can contain it. Based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, and featuring an acclaimed cast led by Tommy Lee Jones, this gritty game of cat and mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond - right up to its heart-stopping final moment.

AUGUST RUSH

Cast: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Keri Russell, Robin Williams, Terrence Dashon Howard, Freddie Highmore

Synopsis: There's music in the wind and sky. Can you hear it? And there's hope. Can you feel it? The boy called August Rush can. The music mysteriously draws him, penniless and alone, to New York City in a quest to find - somehow, someway - the parents separated from him years earlier. And along the way he may also find the musical genius hidden within him. Experience the magic of this rhapsodic epic of the heart starring Freddie Highmore (as August), Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard and Robin Williams. 'I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales,' August says. Open your heart and listen. You'll believe, too.

BEE MOVIE

Cast: Jerry Seinfeld, Matthew Broderick, Megan Mullally, Renee Zellweger, William H. Macy

Synopsis: From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes “Bee Movie,” a comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Take a close look at the world through the eyes of one bee in particular – Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City – a job at Honex…making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a quirky florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom – he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of the human race. When he shockingly discovers that anyone can purchase honey right off the grocery store shelf, he realizes that his true calling is to stop this injustice and set the world right by suing the human race for stealing the bees’ precious honey.
