ARTUR SMOLYANINOV
Minutes: 134
Format: WIDESCREEN
Rated: R
Genre: ACTION, FOREIGN, WAR
RUSSIAN with
ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Fedor Bondarchuk, the son of noted Russian filmmaker Sergei
Bondarchuk, debuts as a director with the harrowing and relentless
military drama 9TH COMPANY, set between 1988 and 1989 at the tail
end of the U.S.S.R. Afghani war (the Soviet equivalent of Vietnam).
The picture opens in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in late 1988, when
military trainees Petrovsky, Ryaba, Chugun, Stas, Pinochet, Lyutev
and Vorobyev are whipped into shape at a training camp by the
brutal, sadistic commander, Warrant Officer Dygalo - prior to being
sent off to the front lines. After several one-by-one dalliances
with the local whore, Snow White, and a cautionary lecture on the
history, geography and culture of Afghanistan (which most of the men
sleep through), the trainees head off to battle - first to the
Bagram air base, then to the Afghani province of Khost to secure
supply lines. But nothing can begin to prepare them for the brutal
devastation into which they are plunged, or the relentless tide of
slaughter that scatters thousands of Soviet victims in its wake.

HARRY BROWN (2009)

MICHAEL CAINE
EMILY MORTIMER
CHARLIE CREED MILES
Minutes: 103
Format: WIDESCREEN
Rated: R
Genre: ACTION
Academy Award nominee Daniel Barber (THE TONTO WOMAN) makes his
feature directorial debut with this gritty critique on contemporary
British society starring Michael Caine as an elderly shut-in who's
spurred to action by a senseless act of violence. Harry Brown (Caine)
resides in a desolate public-housing apartment block as his sickly
wife lies dying in a local hospital. He spends most of his days in
solitude, only getting out to play the occasional game of chess at a
nearby pub with his best friend, Leonard (David Bradley). The days
of basic human decency seem to be a thing of the past, because in
recent years barbarous drug dealers and gangsters have overtaken the
dilapidated complex. Killing is a way of life for these young thugs,
and as a result overburdened detectives Frampton (Emily Mortimer)
and Hicock (Charlie Creed-Miles) are essentially relegated to
knocking on doors and notifying parents when their children have
been killed in the latest fracas, instead of investigating the
crimes and jailing the guilty parties. When Leonard is murdered just
feet from his own apartment, former Royal Marine Harry utilizes the
skills he learned while fighting the IRA to take on the aggressive
chavs who have intimidated the police into inaction.

Adapted from Mark Millar's hyper-violent comic book of the same

film tells the tale of an average New York teenager who decides to
don a costume and fight crime. Comic book geek Dave Lizewski (Aaron

purchasing a flashy wet suit on the Internet, Dave starts busting up
baddies with nothing but brute force. He calls himself Kick-Ass, and
he can take a beating as good as he can dish one out. Before long,
Kick-Ass has become a local sensation, and others are following his
lead. Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) are a
father-daughter crime-fighting duo who have set their sights on
local mob heavy Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong). They're doing a decent
job of dismantling Frank's sizable underworld empire when Kick-Ass
gets drawn into the fray. But Frank's men play rough, and his son,
Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), is about to become Kick-Ass' very
first arch nemesis. When Chris assumes the persona of Red Mist, the
stage is set for a superhero showdown that could spell the end of
Kick-Ass once and for all.
