Promised Land -- This gritty drama follows two high school acquaintances, Hancock and Danny, after they graduate. The first film commissioned by the Sundance Film Festival, it portrays the other half of the American dream, as Hancock and his cheerleader girlfriend wander to a middle-class mediocrity out of reach for Danny and his psychotic wife Bev.

Focusing on the lives of three high school buddies, this picturesque drama is a study of the American Dream gone wrong. Davey, Danny and Mary are friends from high school. Davey was a basketball star and Mary, his girlfriend. But two years later the two find that what held them together in school has gradually faded. There's real trouble, however, when outcast Danny returns to Utah with his new wife, a spit-fire whose presence leads to disaster.

Something is coming in the night. The dark air fills with the sound of flapping wings and menacing shrieks. The night has wings and fear takes flight. Swarms of genetically altered bats have descended upon a sleepy, small Texan town and no one is safe. The only hope to stop the growing tide of bloody devastation is a zoologist who studies bats, (Dina Meyer, Starship Troopers), her assistant Leon, (Cliffhanger) and the local sheriff (Lou Diamond Phillips, The Big Hit). Bats is a jolting ride of sight, sound and fear.
