42

Now Playing Synopsis: Brian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award. Christopher Meloni and Hamish Linklater co-star. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

Mother of George

Opens Friday, Sep 13, 2013 Synopsis: A woman is faced with an ethical paradox if she wants to repair her failing marriage in this drama from director Andrew Dosunmu. Adenike (Danai Gurira) is a Yoruba woman who has left West Africa for Brooklyn, New York, and has just married a fellow emigrant, restaurateur Ayodele (Isaach De Bankole). Ayodele is eager to have children, and at their wedding, his mother (Bukky Ajayi) even names their first child George. However, a year and a half later, Adenike has been unable to conceive, even though the couple has been trying regularly. Ayodele is growing increasingly frustrated with his wife, and Adenike isn't sure where to turn. When Adenike confides to her sister-in-law Sade (Yaya Alafia) about her troubles and the toll they've taken on her peace of mind, Sade makes a surprising suggestion -- she's convinced the problem lies with Ayodele, not Adenike, and that his brother Biyi (Tony Okungbowa) could be persuaded to step in and help. Mother Of George received its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Danai Gurira, Isaach de Bankolé, Yaya Alafia, Anthony Okungbowa, Bukky Ajayi Movie Details Buy Tickets Movie Review

The Family

Opens Friday, Sep 13, 2013 Synopsis: An American ex-mafia boss and his family are transplanted to France through the witness protection program, but draw the attention of underworld figures who are determined to see them dead in this darkly humorous action comedy starring Robert DeNiro, and directed by Luc Besson. Brooklyn kingpin Fred Manzoni (DeNiro) had it all until the day he became a snitch. Now no matter how many times Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) relocates Fred and his family, danger is never far behind. When they blow their cover once again, Fred, his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and their two kids Warren (John D'Leo) and Belle (Dianna Agron) are shipped off to a sleepy village in France. It seems like the perfect place to escape the long arm of the lawless until the criminally-inclined family resorts to their treacherous old ways, once again becoming a blip on the syndicate radar. Now the thugs are moving in, and they mean business. As the Manzoni's use their unique set of skills to survive the relentless storm of bullets, bombs, and rockets, the citizens of this peaceful French village suddenly find themselves in the middle of an all-out mafia warzone. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron, John D'Leo Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
