Triple bill of crime dramas. In 'Bad Karma' (2012), starring Ray
Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight
are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the
Gold Coast to start afresh, Molloy (Liotta) is remarkably
successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with
a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack
(Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to
return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the
increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to
help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social
misfit Paul (Kevin Zegers) is driven to desperate measures when he
is turned down for yet another job and his ill mother is given a
foreclosure notice on the family home. He enlists the help of two
friends to abduct three kids from rich families and hold them
ransom for a million dollars each, but the plan goes badly wrong
and they soon find themselves in way over their heads. 'Officer
Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff),
known as 'Cal' on the force, who has had a mixed career as a police
officer, struggling with drink problems and straying to the wrong
side of the law himself at times. When he finds himself caught up
in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons
from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.

This remake of Sam Peckinpah's classic 1971 psychological thriller
transposes the events of the first film from Cornwall to the
American Deep South.
James Marsden stars as David Sumner, a
Hollywood screenwriter who moves with his wife, Amy (Kate
Bosworth), from LA to a house in his wife's small rural hometown to
write his new script in peace and quiet.
But tensions brew between
the two amid the intense heat and isolation, and an escalating
conflict with the locals eventually drives a naturally
even-tempered David to violent and drastic measures.

A collection of treasured stories by the unchallenged master of
American fiction
Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow has deservedly been celebrated as
one of America's greatest writers. For more than sixty years he
stretched our minds, our imaginations, and our hearts with his
exhilarating perceptions of life. Here, collected in one volume and
chosen by the author himself, are favorites such as "What Kind of
Day Did You Have?," "Leaving the Yellow House," and a previously
uncollected piece, "By the St. Lawrence." With his larger-than-life
characters, irony, wisdom, and unique humor, Bellow presents a
sharp, rich, and funny world that is infinitely surprising. This is
a collection to treasure for longtime Saul Bellow fans and an
excellent introduction for new readers.
