In Basic, Pulp
Fiction alums John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson reunite to star in a
thriller involving the disappearance of several soldiers and the conflicts that
the agent investigating the case encounters.
On the other hand, The
Core is an eerie tale with the core of the Earth starring. Strange
happenings and inexplicable deaths lead to the discovery that said core has
stopped spinning, and Earth’s electromagnetic field is on a one-way train to
nowheresville. Everything begins swirling uncontrollably out of balance, and
panic sets in. What to do? Why, use a bomb to reactivate the core, of
course!
Next, Chris Rock is running for President in Head of
State, a comedy that also marks Rock’s directorial debut. Hilarity and
misadventures ensue on the campaign trail…
In Raising Victor
Vargas, a teenage Casanova from the Lower East Side realizes, despite his
various sexual conquests, he has a whole lotta learnin’ to do when it comes to
l-o-v-e. His journey of self-discovery is helped along by a girl named Judy, who
at first wants nothing to do with him but slowly becomes his friend.
Disillusioned, unemployed Chinese youth take center stage in Unknown
Pleasures. When two pals decide to escape their motorbike riding and pool
hall hanging world, however, their plan to rob a bank and gain some fast cash
doesn’t turn out quite the way they expected. Nonetheless, an odd humor pervades
the film.
In Robert Duvall’s Assassination Tango, a
tango-loving hit man living in Brooklyn finds himself on assignment to
assassinate a general in Buenos Aires – but his mission gets delayed and he
finds himself sucked into the tempting vortex of the world of Argentine tango.
When he finally does complete his mission, however, he finds himself trapped in
a unique world he cannot get out of…not alive, at least.
