The Story:
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes with a jolt to find himself on a commuter train heading into Chicago. Although the other passengers all seem to know him, he has absolutely no idea where – or even who – he is. The last thing Colter remembers is flying a helicopter mission in Iraq, but here he is in someone else’s life going through someone else’s morning commute. Before he can do anything an express train zooms by on the opposite track and a bomb explodes, seemingly killing Colter and all the other passengers. Colter comes to in an isolation chamber, strapped to a seat, and wearing his military flight suit. He still has no idea what’s happening, except that he’s being spoken to by mission controller Carol Goodwin (Vera Farmiga), who calmly recites a series of memory questions to which Colter is shocked to realize he knows the answers.

He learns he’s part of an operation called “Beleaguered Castle,” but before he can progress any further, Goodwin starts up the machinery and suddenly Colter is back on the train, at exactly the same time he first appeared there, once again speeding through Chicago with the same group of commuters. Colter figures he’s in some kind of simulation exercise, with his task being to find the bomber on board the train before it goes off again. Living the explosion over and over, Colter must uncover the identity of the bomber, while also figuring out what the alternative universe of “Beleaguered Castle” is. Adding to the puzzle, Colter uses the second chance opportunities to make peace with his father, and to find romance with a fellow passenger on the train.

COWBOYS & ALIENS

The Story:
Set in 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents--townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors--all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity.

CASINO JACK

CASINO JACK

The Story:
The wild excesses and escapades of Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey),there’s nothing he won’t do to take care of his gorgeous wife Pam (Kelly Preston) and their beautiful kids. Pam joins Jack’s dad Frank in telling Jack to slow down, to be more careful. But they don’t get it: Jack’s a hustler.

Of course Jack can’t do it all on his own. His protégé, Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) carries some of the workload. Scanlon’s young, he likes to party, and he loves money more than Jack does. Scanlon works hard to keep his spoiled fiancée Emily (Rachelle LeFevre) happy. Their business model is simple. They bribe, they coerce, and they make promises they never intend to keep — and in the end, they always come out on top. They rule Washington DC, control Senators & Congressmen, and influence key decisions of the most powerful country in the World.

Take their latest moneymaking scheme: SunCruz, a line of gambling boats run by Gus Boulis, a Greek business man with mob ties. Jack wants to buy Gus out. Gus says no. End of story, right? Wrong. Jack calls in a favor or two, and soon Gus finds himself in the middle of a Senate investigation! Meanwhile, Scanlon works with several Indian tribes, helping them to get casinos built on tribal lands. Abramoff’s dealings with the tribes began as a legitimate business relationship – an example of what lobbyists can do to grease the wheels of democracy. But that was years ago, and now it’s a relationship built on distrust and deceit.

Abramoff and Scanlon fleece the tribes for their money, and over bill them for their work. Of course all of this is done right under the nose of Senators and Congressmen – people of power and influence who turn the other way because Jack’s raises political capital for them.

It all comes crashing down when Jack’s sleazy friend Adam Kidan (Jon Lovitz) gets involved in the SunCruz deal. Pam warns Jack that Kidan can’t be trusted, but he doesn’t listen. Soon, the Boulis gets whacked, and Jack finds himself connected to a murder investigation. At the same time, the Indian tribes grow wise to his schemes, and they talk to the press, leading to the biggest US Political scandal since Watergate. When the scandal hits the papers and the news networks, Jack has nowhere to turn. The influential friends? They deny ever knowing him. Even Scanlon turns on him, proving there’s no room for loyalty in the high stakes world of political corruption.

Through it all, Pam remains his love and his good conscience to the end, the partner in life of a man who used and abused the American system.
