Denzel Washington stars in this Academy Award-nominated drama as an airline pilot who finds himself in the line of fire. Faced with a catastrophic event whilst on a routine flight, Captain William Whitaker (Washington) averts a major disaster by performing a skilled emergency landing that saves the lives of everyone on board. Proclaimed a hero by a grateful public, Whitaker's world is unexpectedly thrown into turmoil in the days that follow, when the FAA investigation into the aircraft's crash leads the authorities to conclude that Whitaker had alcohol in his system during the flight. Now, faced with the prospect of a life sentence, and with a hungry media smelling blood, Whitaker finds himself forced to go on the offensive to fight for his future.
Triple-bill of CGI animated adventures. In 'Surf's Up' (2007), Cody Maverick (voice of Shia LeBeouf) is a young penguin who dreams of winning the biggest penguin surfing competition of the year: the Penguin World Surfing Championship. His pursuit of this goal becomes the chosen subject of a team of documentary makers that goes behind the scenes of the competition and interviews Cody, his friends and surfing fans along the way. Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel and James Woods are among the actors who lend their voices to the characters in the film. In 'Open Season' (2006), a domesticated grizzly bear called Boog (voice of Martin Lawrence) gets lured into leaving the creature comforts of home by a fast-talking mule deer named Elliott (voice of Ashton Kutcher), and finds himself lost in the woods just three days before hunting season begins. Forced to rough it in the great outdoors, Boog goes native, rallying all the forest animals to take back their home and send the hunters packing. Finally, in 'Monster House' (2006), DJ Harvard (voice of Mitchel Musso) lives directly across the street from a most unusual house. A malevolent entity that longs to feed on the energy of the living, the once peaceful house that looms ominously outside of DJ's bedroom window would like nothing more than the chance to feast on the children of the neighborhood. As Halloween begins to draw near and the children of the neighbourhood prepare for another long night of trick-or-treating, it appears as if it may be the house that is in for the biggest treat of all.
