Gerry"One of the year's 10 best films" -- Artforum

From the groundbreaking director of Good Will Hunting and Finding Forrester, Gerry stars Academy Award® winner Matt Damon (Best Original Screenplay, Good Will Hunting, 1997; The Bourne Identity, Ocean's Eleven) and Casey Affleck (Ocean's Eleven, Soul Survivors) in a suspenseful and highly provocative story of two men pushed to the limit! A pair of best friends (Affleck and Damon), who've nicknamed each other "Gerry," set out on a desert hike. But what begins as a simple daytime adventure turns into an intense life-and-death journey that will test the strength of human endurance and ultimately, their friendship! Written by Damon, Affleck, and Director Gus Van Sant, this uncommonly compelling and starkly visualized film is a must-see motion picture that has earned the overwhelming praise of critics nationwide!



"The Last Kiss"
On DVD and Video November 11


The Last Kiss"Irresistibly entertaining" -- The New Yorker

With its breezy look at the battle of the sexes, this stylish comedy has generated critical acclaim everywhere! A wife, a child, a house ... it all seems like too much responsibility for a guy who's afraid to grow up! But Carlo is not alone. All of his buddies are suffering with their own growing pains and none of them seem to be ready to settle down without a fight. As the romantic entanglements tighten, this amusingly self-centered group of guys will keep you entertained as they struggle to learn the complicated lessons of life and love.



Coming To Theaters


"Calendar Girls"
In Theaters December 19

Calendar Girls is inspired by the true story of a group of women who bare all--or nearly all--for charity and become international celebrities as a result. The Women's Institute in Great Britain encourages the ancient skills of jam-making, flower pressing, knitting and baking. So when a group of extraordinary women are looking for a new way to raise money, they decide to take the annual Women's Institute calendar, normally featuring landscapes or flowers, and create something traditional--but with a twist. Behind the baked goods, the apple pressing and the flower arranging, the women are completely nude. Calendar Girls is a comedy of outsize proportions.
