of South London to a new life in Malaga with nothing but a tin stuffed

Red Eye
Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits

in a plot to kill a rich and powerful businessman... and Lisa is the
key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will
be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson. Trapped within
the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no

of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor
and stop a terrible murder.

Cinderella Man
During
the Great Depression, a common-man hero, James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the
Cinderella Man--was to become one of the most surprising sports legends
in history. By the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was
seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest
of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His career appeared
to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that
mattered to him--his family--was in danger, and he was even forced to
go on Public Relief. But deep inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished
his determination. Driven by love, honor and an incredible dose of grit,
he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to
help his family, Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had
a shot. However Braddock, fueled by something beyond mere competition,
kept winning. Suddenly, the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete.
Carrying the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised on his shoulders,
Braddock rocketed through the ranks, until this underdog chose to do
the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the world, the unstoppable
Max Baer, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.
The Longest Yard
Paul "Wrecking" Crewe was a revered football superstar back
in his day, but that time has since faded. But when a messy drunk driving

by Warden Hazen (James Cromwell), a duplicitous prison official well
aware of Paul's athletic skills. Paul has been assigned the task of
assembling a team of convicts, to square off in a big football game
against the sadistic guards. With the help of fellow convict Caretaker,
and an old legend named Nate Scarborough to coach, Crewe is ready for
what promises to be a very interesting game. It's only the warden and
the guards who have no idea who or what they're up against, with Paul
the driving force behind the new team.

order for a hit on Jake, who ends up working for and being protected

Vegetable Competition, business is booming, but Wallace & Gromit
are finding out that running a "humane" pest control outfit
has its drawbacks as their West Wallaby Street home fills to the brim
with captive rabbits. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging "beast"
begins attacking the town's sacred vegetable plots at night, and the
competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch
it and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington's snobby
suitor, Victor Quartermaine, who'd rather shoot the beast and secure
the position of local hero-not to mention Lady Tottingon's hand in marriage.
With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is
eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable chomping
marauder. Little does she know that Victor's real intent could have
dire consequences for her ...and our two heroes.
