After walking out on her teammates at the gymnastics championships two years before, the talented but rebellious Haley Graham is forced to return to the rigid world of rules, catfights, and spandex. Her in-your-face attitude quickly collides with her hard-nosed coach and teammates. But as her love of the sport resurfaces, Haley slowly earns their respect by doing what she does best -- tossing out the rules. And in the process, she learns there are more valuable things to win in life than medals and ribbons.

The Fighting Fists of Shangai Joe (1973) Trailer
Shanghai Joe (Chen Lee) travels to San Francisco in 1882 looking for a better life, all he finds is scum -- racists, perverts, slavers, greedy conmen and mercenaries. Naturally, the gentle mystic must fight to find inner peace. Lee's major weapon - aside from knives and lethal yo-yos - is a devastating punch that rams all the way through his opponents' bodies. But that isn't the half of it. A card shark gets his eyes gouged out in revolting detail, people are beaten to bloody pulp, and the villain of the piece (Klaus Kinski in a fascinating performance) is Scalper Jack, a mincing, sadistic bounty-hunter who tortures and skins his victims alive. Also stars Gordon Mitchell, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart & Roberto Undari.

The Tree of Life (2011) Trailer
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a 2011 American experimental drama film written and directed by
Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain.
Watch the trailer!
"The Tree of Life" is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows
the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult
years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as
an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the
origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature
imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as
individuals and families, but all life.
