February 25 - Video and DVD Releases

"Knockaround Guys" (2001)

This is a drama about young Brooklyn mobsters whose jobs take them to a small town in Montana. The cast includes Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, Seth Green, Andrew Davoli, Dennis Hopper, John Malkovich, and Tom Noonan. Johnny Marbles (Green) is bringing a bag full of mob money back from Spokane, Washington, in his plane when he stops for refueling at Wibaux, Montana. There Johnny loses the bag, so Matty (Pepper), Taylor (Diesel), and Chris (Davoli) travel from Brooklyn out to Wibaux to try to get the money back. But the crooked local sheriff (Noonan) in Wibaux wants the money, too, leading to some cat-and-mouse games between him and the mobsters.

    "Road to Perdition" (2002)

    Tom Hanks and Paul Newman star in this bleak drama about Depression-era mobsters in Illinois. Hanks plays Michael Sullivan, who was taken in years ago and brought up like a son by Irish mob boss John Rooney (Newman). Also, Rooney fathered a son named Connor (Daniel Craig). Now Connor works for his father, and Sullivan also works for Rooney and thinks of him as his father. A chain of events occurs that end up with Connor killing Sullivan's wife and one of his two sons. Most of the rest of the movie is taken up by Sullivan's quest to get revenge while protecting his surviving son (Tyler Hoechlin). Although Rooney loves Sullivan like a son, he chooses to protect his biological son Connor, resulting in a hitman (Jude Law) seeking to track down and kill Sullivan.

One day Winnie takes a walk in the woods and stumbles upon the Tuck family, which consists of 17-year-old Jesse (Jonathan Jackson), his older brother Miles (Scott Bairstow), and their parents (William Hurt and Sissy Spacek). It turns out the Tucks have looked and felt the same for many decades, ever since they started drinking from a magical stream.

When an attack on Devlin leaves him incapacitated, Jimmy starts posing as the superspy. Jimmy inherits from Devlin a hi-tech tuxedo that gives its wearer extraordinary martial-arts capabilities and the ability to make great leaps. Meanwhile, the evil businessman named Banning (Ritchie Coster) has come up with a diabolical scheme. He will contaminate most of the world's water supply while maintaining control over a large supply of potable water, thereby forcing people to buy their drinking water from him at exorbitant prices. Then Jimmy and his hi-tech tuxedo team up with agent Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and it's up to them to stop Banning.
