Political thriller looking at the effect the war on terror has on a disparate group of Americans. When West Coast University students Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena) make the bold decision to join the army in the war on terror, their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Robert Redford), is both moved and distraught. As Arian and Ernest fight for their lives on the killing fields of Afghanistan, they become the tie that binds together two stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student (Andrew Garfield), who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to unleash a shocking revelation to a probing TV journalist (Meryl Streep). As the complex, interweaving drama progresses, the characters' fates become inextricably linked.

New Releases At Movie Mix 13th March 2008

Epic adventure starring Ray Winstone and Anthony Hopkins. In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all, Beowulf (Winstone). After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, he incurs the undying wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother (Angelina Jolie), who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalising the name of Beowulf.

Gorefest with a message, as 'Ronald Reagan' takes an axe to those damned hippies. When a bunch of hippies decide to hold a festival in the woods, to the annoyance of the locals, they soon find themselves being stalked by a psychopath in a Ronald Reagan mask. As he chops and slashes his way through the revellers, most are too stoned to believe anything is going on, or that they could do anything about it anyway. The analogy with America's foreign policy is pointedly drawn - the hippies fiddling while Iraq burns. 'Reagan' even has a killer dog called Nancy and a pig named George W fed on limbs. Politics aside, there's plenty of gratuitous blood-letting to keep fans of the genre happy.
