Rob Letterman directs this comedy adventure based loosely on the
classic satirical novel by Jonathan Swift. Jack Black stars as
Lemuel Gulliver, a lowly mailroom worker who spontaneously
reinvents himself as a free-spirited travel writer in order to
impress a co-worker. He soon finds himself mistakenly sent off on a
whirlwind assignment to Bermuda and en route is washed ashore on
the hidden island of Lilliput. Initially captured and enslaved by
the island's diminutive and industrious population of Lilliputians,
he eventually manages to win them over with his questionable charms
and is eventually declared their hero. The supporting cast includes
Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Amanda Peet and Billy Connolly.

Combining the Eastern exoticism of "Rising Sun" with the
gripping serial-killer intensity of "The Silence of the Lambs,"
"Leopard" is the terrifying sequel to Richard La Plante's acclaimed
first thriller "Mantis."
Medical examiner Josef Tanaka returns to his native Japan for
the first time in fifteen years to learn that his brother has been
savagely murdered. To find the killer, he must rediscover his
Japanese heritage-and plunge into the mysterious world of ritual
tattooing, sumo wrestling, and the Yakuza. But Tanaka faces
something even more deadly than gangsters: The Leopard, a
remorseless human killing machine, swift, cunning, and
unstoppable.
His pursuit of the Leopard leaves Tanaka's relationship with
cosmetic surgeon Rachel Saunders in tatters. Yet as Tanaka is drawn
within a web of deceit it is only Rachel who intuitively
understands the truth.
John Winston Flint, prominent Philadelphia physician, has been
systematically tortured to death. Every bone in his body has been
shattered-even the joints of his fingers and toes reduced to
powder.
The doctor's hidden side is revealed when a police search turns
up a collection of sadomasochistic videos in which Flint himself
was the star performer-and horrifyingly, one shows a brutal rape
and apparent murder.
Fogarty and his friend and colleague, medical examiner Josef
Tanaka, also discover that Flint was selling massive quantities of
illegal steroids to hardcore bodybuilders. In a world where total
physical prowess is the ultimate goal, and strength truly equals
power, performance-enhancing chemicals are more than worth their
weight in gold.
Nothing in Fogarty's experience has prepared him for this case,
where each secret he uncovers seems to lead him farther from the
truth, and where the darkest secret of all is written in the blood
of two drug-enhanced, steroid supermen.
Incarcerated cult leader Justin Gabriel, convicted of ordering his
followers to kill, has spent ten years honing his mind control
abilities. His parole hearing is approaching-his one and only shot
at freedom-and he is determined to silence anyone who might speak
against him. Taking the form of a giant predatory bird, Gabriel
terrorizes his enemies-those who got him convicted-through their
dreams, causing heart attacks or insanity. The last survivor is
ex-cop Bill Fogarty, now retired and enjoying a new life and love.
Gabriel invades Fogarty's dreams with terrifying visions,
eventually causing a mental breakdown and institutionalization.
Fogarty's longtime friend and former colleague, Philadelphia
medical examiner Josef Tanaka, desperately tries to put the pieces
together in time to save his friend. But will these two men,
accustomed to the clinical realities of autopsy tables and precinct
desks, be able to fight for their lives in the realm of the
Dreamtime?

In recent weeks, three young women have been brutally assaulted and
murdered in the city of Philadelphia. Lt. William Fogarty, a
time-toughened cop, hardened by personal tragedy, is shocked by the
brutality of the crimes. His only lead comes from medical examiner
Josef Tanaka. Half Japanese and half American, Tanaka, a skilled
practitioner of the martial arts, claims to recognize the method
used in the attacks: a karate strike known as nukite, or spear
hand. Fogarty has nowhere else to turn. An unlikely combination,
Fogarty and Tanaka, forced together by circumstance and neither
completely trusting the other, they conduct a desperate hunt,
trawling the city streets of Philadelphia and into the dangerous
underbelly of the killing arts. Pursuing the Mantis, a creature who
uses the flesh of his victims in a sadistic, macabre ritual of
self-purification, while Fogarty and Tanaka endanger the lives of
those closest to them as they inch perilously close to the
precipice of their own worst fears and weaknesses.
