Dirty Sexy Money S1: A lawyer is forced to take care of one of New York City’s wealthiest families.

Drag Me to Hell: Directed by Sam (Spiderman) Raimi. A loan officer ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.

Earth 2100: Documentary looking at what might become of our civilization in 2100.

Taking of Pelham 123: Directed by Tony (Top Gun) Scott. Armed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day’s work for dispatcher Walter Garber into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime.

Trick or Treat: Four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

Tudors S2: The second season of the hit series about the reign and marriages of King Henry VIII.

Wings of Desire: Carly’s Criterions. Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies.

But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality to come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry.
