Avatar
AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where
a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting
to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron,
the Oscar-winning director of "Titanic," first conceived
the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did
not exist yet. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a
live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers
a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the
revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears
into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
We enter the alien world through
the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair.
But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart.
He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on
Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is
the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because the atmosphere
of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in
which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked
to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can
survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered
hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora...
the Na'vi.
Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can
walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who
have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But
a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this
changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns
to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures.
As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens,
he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place
among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them
in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate
of an entire world.

The Book of Eli
In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final
war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once
America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth--all around
him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization
here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man
for his shoes, an ounce of water... or for nothing at all.
But they're no match for this traveler.
A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli seeks only peace
but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize
their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely
but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected
for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment
and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli
does what he must to survive--and continue.
Only one other man in this ruined world understands the
power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie,
the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and
gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara is fascinated
by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may
exist beyond her stepfather's domain.
But neither will find it easy to deter him. Nothing--and
no one--can stand in his way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill
his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity.

to kill. Another man burns down his own house-after locking his

operation is the reason Tommy went to jail in the first place.
Gray is back on the move and trying to lure Tommy into a new
scheme - and Gray isn't somebody who takes no for an answer.
And while Tommy would like nothing more than to come clean to
probation officer Angela, the last thing he wants to do is raise
her suspicions - especially since he might be falling in love
with her. With time running out and Gray's get rich scheme advancing
forward, Tommy finds himself caught between Viki who will use
anything from her vast repertoire of exaggerations to save her
brother, and Angela the woman he loves who also happens to enforce
the law. Add to this the rest of Tommy's adoring family that

inside you, especially when it's... Crazy on the Outside.

Ghost Writer
When a successful British ghostwriter, The Ghost, agrees to complete
the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent
assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project
seems doomed from the start--not least because his predecessor
on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an unfortunate
accident. The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the
middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the
U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former
British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal
seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture
by the CIA -- a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and
protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying
with his wife, Ruth, and his personal assistant and mistress,
Amelia. As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting
his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang
to the CIA -- and that somehow this information is hidden in
the manuscript he left behind. Was Lang in the service of the
American intelligence agency while he was prime minister? And
was The Ghost's predecessor murdered because of the appalling
truth he uncovered?

with lonely and troubled teenager Martine and her new 'ride'
Gordy. The trio head out in the same car and direction--Martine
to cut loose and get away from her family, Gordy to get closer
to Martine, and Brett who must decide whether he wants to return
to his troubled past and an uncertainty with May, the woman that
