BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA

Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Robert Patrick, Zooey Deschanel, Annasophia Robb, Lauren Clinton

Synopsis: Based on the popular Newbery Award-winning novel, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is a fantasy/adventure story of friendship, family and the power of imagination from the producers of 'The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.' Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON) is an outsider at school and even in his own family. Jess has trained all summer to become the fastest kid in his middle school class but his goal is unexpectedly thwarted by the new girl in school, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB) who competes in the 'boys only' race and wins. Despite their awkward introduction, the two outsiders quickly become best friends. Leslie loves to tell stories of fantasy and magic. Jess loves to draw, but until he met Leslie it was something he kept to himself. Leslie opens a new world of imagination for Jess. Together they create the secret kingdom of Terabithia, a magical place only accessible by swinging on an old rope over a stream in the woods near their homes. There, the friends rule the kingdom, fight the Dark Master and his creatures and plot against the school bullies. Thanks to his friendship with Leslie, Jess is changed for good. Brimming with fantastical creatures, palaces and beautiful forests, the world of Terabithia is brought to life by the amazing Academy AwardŽ-winning visual effects wizards at Weta Digital ('The Lord of the Rings,' 'King Kong').

CLOSE TO HOME

Cast: Danny Geva, Lana Ettinger, Neama Shendar, Sharon Raginiano, Smadar Sayar

Synopsis: Close to Home places the Israel-Palestine conflict into the background and the social lives of young Israeli female soldiers into the foreground. Close to Home is much more a story of life and growing up than one with a political message. It is not about governments but how the decisions of politicians and religious leaders set the stage for the drama that is young adulthood. The two central characters, Mirit and Smadar are thrown together by the commanding officer of their unit, and are made responsible for stopping Arabs on the streets of Jerusalem for ID cards. But Smadar and Mirit couldn't be more different. The two remain unfriendly until a bomb explosion creates a tenuous bond of friendship between the two. After the bombing, Mirit and Smadar are given an easier assignment checking bags at the entrance to a fancy hotel, but Mirit ignores her duties and takes off with a guest ultimately landing her in a military prison. Mirit's and Smadar's passions and interests are surprisingly divorced from the Israel-Palestine conflict. The compulsory army service is seen as just another unpleasant hurdle to clear in order to start the adult portion of one's life.

GRAY MATTERS

Cast: Alan Cumming, Bridget Moynahan, Heather Graham, Sissy Spacek, Thomas Cavanagh

Synopsis: A sophisticated comedy about love, life and being true to oneself. Set in New York City with bantering dialogue reminiscent of a 1940's classic and the panache of a designer fashion show. 'Gray Matters' makes you laugh, cry, and celebrates the human spirit. They finish each other's sentences, dance like Fred and Ginger, and share the same downtown loft--the perfect couple? Not exactly. Gray and Sam (Heather Graham and Tom Cavanagh), are a sister and brother so compatible and inseparable that people actually assume they are dating. Mortified, they both agree they must branch out and start searching for love. He'll look for a guy for her and she'll look for a gal for him. But when Sam finds his perfect mate in Charlie (Bridget Moynahan) Gray's life turns inside out. A romantic comedy that sets sibling rivalry on its head, 'Gray Matters' gives a whole new meaning to love . . . and destiny. With supporting roles played by Oscar Winner Sissy Spacek, Emmy nominated Molly Shannon, Tony Award winning Alan Cumming and Grammy award winning Gloria Gaynor.
