The Coen Brothers own unique take on Homer's Odyssey sets the
action in 1930s Mississippi, where three clueless convicts escape a
chain gang and go in search of buried treasure. This leads to a
series of unlikely adventures - involving one-eyed con-men,
seductive sirens and Ku Klux Klan lynchings - which culminate with
the boys inadvertently discovering fame as hit recording artists
The Soggy Bottom Boys. Starring George Clooney, John Turturro and
Tim Blake Nelson as the hapless heroes, and featuring a soundtrack
jam-packed with American folk standards, 'O Brother, Where Art
Thou?' takes its title from the film-within-a-film in Preston
Sturges' 1941 classic 'Sullivan's Travels'.
Double-bill of animated movies about a gang of prehistoric animals
who become close friends. In 'Ice Age' (2002), the story begins at
the dawn of the great ice age, when a group of three animals embark
upon an epic journey. Sid the sloth, Manfred the mammal, and Diego
the sabre-toothed tiger team up to help return a human baby to its
father, and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava
pits and travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their
mission. Along the way they also meet Scrat, a squirrel-rat
determined to plant an acorn in a glacier. The film features the
voices of John Leguizamo, Denis Leary and Jack Black. In 'Ice Age 2
- The Meltdown' (2006), Manny the woolly mammoth (voice of Ray
Romano), Sid the sloth (Leguizamo), Diego the saber-toothed tiger
(Leary), and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat
(Chris Wedge) are back in this sequel to the popular 2002 film.
Manny is ready to start a family, but nobody has seen another
mammoth for a long time. In fact, Manny thinks he may be the last
one. That is until he miraculously finds Ellie (Queen Latifah), the
only female mammoth left in the world. The only problem being that
they can't stand each other. Ellie comes with some excess baggage
in the form of her two possum friends, Crash (Seann William Scott)
and Eddie (Josh Peck), a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky,
loud-mouthed troublemakers. When a huge glacial dam holding off
oceans of water is about to break, threatening the entire valley,
the only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So
our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most
unlikely family as they embark on a mission across an
ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape.

The Coen brothers' stripped down and gritty chase thriller has a
Vietnam vet desperately trying to give the slip to a relentless
killer. While out hunting in the barren wilds of Texas, Llewelyn
Moss (Josh Brolin) discovers the aftermath of a drugs deal gone
wrong, with dead bodies, heroin and a case filled with $2million in
cash. Deciding to take the money, Moss says goodbye to his wife
(Kelly MacDonald) and takes off to plan his next move. It's not
long before he discovers he's being followed by psychopathic
ex-special forces hitman, Chigurh (Javier Bardem), who decides his
victim's fate, guilty or not, on the toss of a coin. As Chigurh
raises the bodycount, gaining ever nearer to Moss, he in turn is
hunted by local Sheriff Ed Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a
seen-it-all-before cop, who could do without the excitement.
