A Green Story

Opens Friday, May 24, 2013 Synopsis: A terminally ill CEO who devoted his life to creating environmentally friendly cleaning products strives to make one last business deal as he reflects on his early years as a Greek immigrant in pursuit of the American Dream in this poignant drama from director/screenwriter Nick Agiashvili. When Van Vlahakis (Ed O'Ross) arrived in America back in the 1950s, he came up from nothing to be the CEO of Earth Friendly Products. Now, after decades of working to create a better world, Vlahakis is dying. Diagnosed with cancer as a major corporation plots a hostile takeover of his company, Vlahakis finds his thoughts continually drifting back to those memorable days of youth, and realizes that his work here is not yet done. Only once Vlahakis has managed to ensure that his company will continue to provide products that will make the world safer for future generations will he lie down for that final sleep, and until that day comes, he'll keep on fighting with everything he's got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Ed O'Ross, Shannon Elizabeth, Billy Zane, Annabella Sciorra, Malcolm McDowell Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

The Great Gatsby (2013)

Now Playing Synopsis: An aspiring writer falls under the spell of an aloof millionaire with designs for the young scribe's unhappily married cousin in director Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's celebrated novel. It's the spring of 1922, and wide-eyed Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) has just moved to New York City in pursuit of the American Dream. Settling into a home next door to wealthy Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Carraway grows increasingly fascinated by the elaborate parties held at his new neighbor's estate. Meanwhile, across the bay, Carraway's cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) flounders in her marriage to philandering aristocrat Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). Inspired by the debauchery on display at Gatsby's wild parties and the lives of the wealthy elite, Carraway begins putting pen to paper as it gradually becomes clear that his cousin and the millionaire share a complicated romantic past that remains unresolved. Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, and Elizabeth Debicki co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, Joel Edgerton Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
