Cocoon: The Return -- The plucky group of seniors from the first film return to Earth faced with the dilemma to either live and die in this world, or to live forever in another world completely detached from family and friends back home.?

Into the Night -- An abusive boyfriend, a homeless man and a troubled couple. Into the Night is an atmospheric journey through the city of Newport, loosely connecting several characters amongst the darkened cityscape.

Sam Elliot drew waves of accolades for his sensitive and sexy portrayal of the aging lifeguard who's compelled to reassess his life and career as a professional lifeguard. To keep things status quo or pursue things status-conscious - that's Elliott's dilemma. It's an agonizing decision compounded on one side by an adoring beach groupie (Breakdown's Kathleen Quinlan) and on the other by a former high school flame (Fatal Attraction's Anne Archer) who's game for rekindling, but only if he's serious about trading in his swimsuits for three-piecers.

Burt Lancaster gives one of the most memorable performances of his career... ...in the critically-acclaimed "Rocket Gibraltar." Lancaster stars as Levi Rockwell, a writer, professor, comic and lover of the sea, who is about to turn 77. In celebration of the event, Levi's four children and eight grandchildren return to his home on the idyllic shores of Saggaponack, New York. Featured as one of the eight Rockwell grandchildren is Macaulay Culkin, star of Home Alone and My Girl. The Rockwell clan is a close-knit family who share a warm relationship with Levi. But what begins as a joyful day marking a milestone in a man's life turns into a surprisingly ironic and moving event as the grandchildren honor Levi's most cherished wish. A provocative film that crosses generations and is similar in spirit to The Big Chill, Susan Granger of WMCA Radio called "Rocket Gibraltar" "A total 10. Not since On Golden Pond has there been such a loving film."

Conflicts of a struggling African-American family who suddenly come into a financial windfall.

A prestigious cast headed by Academy Award-winners Sir Laurence Olivier ("Rebecca," "Hamlet"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Batman Forever," "The Client"), Robert Duvall ("A Civil Action," "Falling Down") and Jane Alexander ("All the President's Men," "Kramer vs. Kramer") bring to the screen the larger-than-life actions and emotions of Harold Robbins' ("The Carpetbaggers") best selling novel. Olivier is a Detroit auto mogul and the patriarch of a multi-generational family, who are wheeling and dealing in both business and at home. "The Betsy," a car named after his great-granddaughter, is an auto so perfect that it threatens the other auto companies. Co-starring Oscar-nominee Katharine Ross ("The Graduate," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"), Lesley-Anne Down ("North & South"), Edward Hermann ("The Lost Boys"), Kathleen Beller ("Dynasty") and Whitney Blake ("Hazel").
