Cast: Stellan Skarsgaard (Father Merrin), James D'Arcy (Father William Francis), Isabella Scorupco (Rachel), Ilario Bisi-Pedro, Ralph Brown, Alan Ford, Andrew French, Antonie Kamerling, Alessandra Martines, Eddie Osei, Julian Wadham
Based Upon: This is the fourth in the series of horror films that started with The Exorcist in 1973, which was followed by The Exorcist II: The Heretic in 1977, and The Exorcist III in 1990. Whereas those last two were sequels, this is a prequel to the first film. That film was based upon the novel by William Peter Blatty, but he didn't have anything to do with this film (indeed, he's been actively vocal against it).
In the aftermath of World War II, Lancaster Marin finds himself in the remote Turkana region of Kenya. Haunted by memories of the war, he has taken sabbatical from the priesthood and journeyed far from his native Holland. He has come to lead the archeological excavation of a mysterious, Byzantine church, buried in pristine condition as if on the day it was completed. Directly underneath the church, Merrin discovers a much more ancient crypt- and finds himself face-to-face with unspeakable Evil.
Madness descends on the local villagers and the contingent of British soldiers sent to guard the excavation. Merrin watches helplessly as the atrocities of war are repeated against another innocent village-atrocities he’d hoped to never see again. The blood of innocents flows freely on the East African plain, but the horror has only just begun…

The Aviator
http://img42.photobucket.com/albums/v130/newcster68/MoviePosters/aviator.jpg
Release Date: December 17, 2004
Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Screenwriter: John Logan
Distributor: Miramax Films (http://www.miramax.com/)
Official Website: scorsesefilms.com (http://www.scorsesefilms.com/aviator.htm)
Official Trailer: Large QuickTime Trailer (http://progressive.stream.aol.com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/2004/aviatorthe_017564/aviatorthe_trlr_dl.mov)
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio (Howard Robard Hughes, Jr.), Alan Alda (Senator Brewster), Alec Baldwin (Juan Tripp), Kate Beckinsale (Ava Gardner), Cate Blanchett (Katharine Hepburn), Frances Conroy (Kit Hepburn), Willem Dafoe (cameo), Kelli Garner (Faith Domergue), Sam Hennings, Ian Holm, Danny Huston (Jack Frye), Vincent Laresca (Jorge), Jude Law (Errol Flynn), Josie Maran, Matt Ross (Glenn Odekirk), Nellie Sciutto (Nadine Henley), Adam Scott, Justin Shilton, Brent Spiner (Robert Gross), Gwen Stefani (Jean Harlow, Chris Ufland, Rufus Wainwright.
Based Upon: This film is based upon the early career of tycoon Howard Hughes (1905-1976), whose career spanned across everything from oil (which he cared little for), film, casinos, and aviation, as he turned millions of dollars into billions..
Premise: Focusing on his early years (from the 1930 production of 'Hell's Angels' to the 1947 test flight of the Blue Spruce, when he was 42), this is the story of how young Howard Hughes transformed a small fortune into a massive one. The son of the Texan inventor of an amazing drill bit who died when he was 18, leaving him with 75% of the "Hughes Tool Co.", Howard Hughes (DiCaprio) quickly moved to Los Angeles to become a Hollywood film producer, where he helped launch the career of Jean Harlow and other starlets, and producing such classics as Hell's Angels, The Front Page, Flying Leathernecks, and Scarface (the 1932 original), eventually owning RKO Pictures. Hughes' legend came not from focusing on just Hollywood, however, as he simultaneously branched into industry after industry, including aviation in 1932 (including TWA Airlines), and during WWII, defense, leading to the creation of the (infamous) Spruce Goose, a flying boat of immense size. After WWII, Hughes' expansions continued, with an electronics company that was integral to the evolution of the satellite, and Hughes' several Las Vegas casinos (though this film may be ending before he moves there). This film will also focus on Hughes' romances with Hollywood stars like Katherine Hepburn (Blanchett) and Ava Gardner (Beckinsale). (Huston plays the president of TWA; Baldwin plays the president of their competitor, Pan Am).
