Coming Soon:
Based on leading scholarly accounts, MONGOL looks at the life of a young Genghis Khan and how he went from being a slave to conquering half the world in 1206 AD. The film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. MONGOL shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at last years Oscars, MONGOL is in Mongolian with English subtitles, is rated R for sequences of bloody warfare and runs 2 hours.

Official site: www.mongolmovie.com
In a 1920's Los Angeles hospital, a paralyzed stunt man (Lee Pace) enthralls an angelic little girl (Catinca Untaru) with an adventure story that her mind supplies extraordinary images for. Roger Ebert gives THE FALL four stars and says: “The film is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms, a movie that you might want to see for no other reason than because it exists. There will never be another like it.” THE FALL is directed by Tarsem (THE CELL), is rated R for some violent images and runs 2 hours.
