For twenty-four years, Ray Martinez served as a police officer in
Fort Collins, Colorado, working everything from minor crimes to
hard-to-solve homicides. But all that time, a personal mystery
nagged at him. Ray was adopted, and he desperately wanted to find
his biological mother. Ray delved into his search in April 2005,
soon after retiring. He was hopeful but not overconfident since his
past searches had always ended in failure. This time, he put the
investigative skills he acquired as a police officer to full use.
By searching through public records, visiting Web sites to study
ancestry, and traveling through small towns in Colorado, Ray
gathered clues with dogged persistence. In the process, he met new
people, developed lasting relationships, and gained a fresh
perspective on life. But by far, the most significant outcome was
finding his mother, four sisters, and brother-the family he had
been without for fifty-four years. "Baby Boy-R" is a heartwarming
story of a son who refuses to give up trying to discover where he
came from and the courageous mother who welcomes back the boy she
thought died at birth.
In this magical re-imagining of J. M. Barrie's classic tale,
Michael Darling-the youngest of the Darling siblings and former
Lost Boy, now all grown up-must return to the life he left behind
to save Neverland from the brink of collapse and keep humanity safe
from magical and mythological threats, as well as answer the
ultimate question: Where is Peter Pan? Peter Pan is missing;
Neverland is in trouble. For adults, that might not matter all that
much, but for children-whose dreams and imagination draw strength
from the wild god's power-the magic we take for granted in the real
world is in danger of being lost forever. Such is the life of a now
grown-up Michael Darling. Michael returned from Neverland with the
dream of continuing his adventuring ways by joining the Knights of
the Round, an organization built to keep humanity safe from magical
and mythological threats. But after a mission gone terribly wrong,
he vowed to leave the Knights behind and finally live as a
"civilian," finding order and simplicity as a train engineer, the
tracks and schedule tables a far cry from the chaos of his youth.
He hasn't entered the narrative in years. So what could the Knights
need from him now? Maponos-or how he's better known, Peter Pan-has
gone missing, and Neverland is now on the edge of oblivion. Michael
realizes he has no choice and agrees to one last mission. Alongside
the young Knight Vanessa and some old friends, Michael embarks on
the ultimate adventure: a journey to a fantasy world to save a god.
Determined to stop evil, fight for Neverland, and find Maponos,
will Michael be able to save the magical and physical world? Or
will his biggest fear come true? The clock is ticking, and in
Neverland, that's never a good sign.

East meets West in this exuberant musical Bollywood remake of the
Jane Austen novel. When Mr Balraj (Naveen Andrews) - a highly
eligible bachelor - arrives from London to take up residence next
door to the Bakshi family, he causes quite a stir: the Bakshis have
four unmarried daughters, and have high hopes for their new
neighbour. But Lalita (Aishwarya Rai), their clever and headstrong
second daughter, is skeptical about her family's plans, and when
she meets Mr Balraj's best friend, American hotelier Will Darcy
(Martin Henderson), she is confirmed in the belief that her
reservations are well-placed. Where social status provided the
impediments between Elizabeth and Darcy in Austen's novel, it is
the cultural divide that keeps Lalita and Darcy apart in Gurinder
Chadha's film. But can love win, and this divide be bridged? The
film was shot on location in India and the US.
