The World's End

Opens Friday, Aug 23, 2013 Synopsis: Five lifelong friends reunite to complete a historic pub crawl from their youth, and find that reaching the fabled World's End tavern will be no simple undertaking while they also fight for the future of all mankind. Twenty years ago, Gary King (Simon Pegg) and his pals embarked on the ultimate drinking marathon. But the beer got the best of them, and they failed to drink their final pint at The World's End pub. Now, as die-hard rebel Gary approaches middle age, he summons his old friends back to their hometown for another round. With each pint down, Gary and the gang take another step toward reconciling the past. Meanwhile, just when it starts to look like their goal is in sight, the stammering pals realizes that a much larger struggle is currently taking place, and that the future is looking particularly grim -- not only for them, but for the entire human race as well. Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike co-star in the final chapter of Edgar Wright's "Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy," which began with 2004's Shaun of the Dead and continued in 2007's Hot Fuzz. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

A Green Story

Opens Friday, May 24, 2013 Synopsis: A terminally ill CEO who devoted his life to creating environmentally friendly cleaning products strives to make one last business deal as he reflects on his early years as a Greek immigrant in pursuit of the American Dream in this poignant drama from director/screenwriter Nick Agiashvili. When Van Vlahakis (Ed O'Ross) arrived in America back in the 1950s, he came up from nothing to be the CEO of Earth Friendly Products. Now, after decades of working to create a better world, Vlahakis is dying. Diagnosed with cancer as a major corporation plots a hostile takeover of his company, Vlahakis finds his thoughts continually drifting back to those memorable days of youth, and realizes that his work here is not yet done. Only once Vlahakis has managed to ensure that his company will continue to provide products that will make the world safer for future generations will he lie down for that final sleep, and until that day comes, he'll keep on fighting with everything he's got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Ed O'Ross, Shannon Elizabeth, Billy Zane, Annabella Sciorra, Malcolm McDowell Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
