Tears Of The Sun
Date: Thursday January 10, 2008 at 20h00

Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs this blockbuster action-adventure starring Bruce Willis as a Navy SEAL officer who travels to civil war-torn Nigeria to rescue an American doctor.

When Lt. Waters (Willis) arrives, Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci) refuses to abandon the refugees under her care, instead persuading Waters and his team to escort them on a dangerous trek through the jungle to the Cameroonian border, where they find themselves inexplicably pursued by an army of rebels.

Upon discovering that the sole survivor of the country’s previous ruling family - whom the rebels have been ordered to eliminate at all costs - is among the band of refugees they feel obliged to protect, Waters and his small band of soldiers must weigh the life of one man against their own. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (2003).

Hollow Man

Directed by Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), Hollow Man stars Kevin Bacon as the arrogant but gifted scientist Sebastian Caine, who develops a serum that induces invisibility. Upon discovering that the invisibility formula works successfully on animals, Caine disobeys Pentagon orders and experiments on himself.

Unfortunately, the gamble goes terribly wrong when the procedure cannot be reversed. Caine and his lieutenants, Linda McCay (Elisabeth Shue) and Matthew Kensington (Josh Brolin), frantically try to counteract the effect. Meanwhile, Caine becomes more and more intoxicated with his new-found power and his fellow scientists realize that their suddenly omnipotent leader perceives them as a threat to his very existence. Directed by Paul Verhoeven (2000).

When Melvin tries to convince Carol to return to work, she ends up getting entangled into the chaotic life of this misanthropic oddball. Meanwhile, in an unpredictable turn of events, Melvin’s world is infiltrated by his ailing artist neighbour, Simon (Greg Kinnear) and his tiny dog, throwing Melvin, Carol and Simon together as they begin to discover things about themselves and each other, which they never expected to learn.

Bad Boys

A sexy witness (Téa Leoni) can identify the suspect, but a mix-up causes her to believe Burnett is Lowrey, forcing the partners to switch identities.

Now, between shoot-outs and car chases, married man Burnett has to stick close to their only witness, while playboy Lowrey goes home to his partner’s wife and kids to learn the joys of parenthood - the hard way. Directed by Michael Bay (1995).
