Garfield
A Tail of Two Kitties
Royalty comes with a price.

Genre: Animation / Comedy / Family
Director: Tim Hill
Distributors: 20th Century Fox
Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Breckin Meyer, Lucy Davis
When Garfield (voiced by Murray) follows his owner, Jon Arbuckle (Meyer), to England, the U.K. may never recover, as Garfield is mistaken for a look-alike, regal cat who has inherited a castle. Garfield savours the royal treatment afforded by his loyal four-legged subjects, but his reign is in jeopardy. The nefarious Lord Dargis (Connolly) is determined to do away with Garfield, so he can turn the castle into a resort. Garfield's bigger, better, more purr-fect world is soon turned upside down in this tale of two kitties.

Speed Needs No Translation.

Genre:
Action / Crime / Thriller
Director: Justin Lin
Distributors: Universal Pictures
Starring: Lucas Black, Shad 'Bow Wow' Gregory Moss, Nathalie Kelley,
Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. He is soon introduced to the underground world of drift racing. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a high price tag. Sean also falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela, which sets off an explosive series of events, climaxing with a high stakes face off.
