Mission to Mars


Starring Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell and Don Cheadle.
The taut sci-fi drama tells the story of a team of astronauts who undertake a daring and desperate rescue mission to Mars, where a previous mission has met with tragedy. The four-man rescue team consists of the mission leader and his wife (Oscar nominee Tim Robbins and Connie Nielsen), a technical specialist (Jerry O'Connell) and a backup commander (Gary Sinise).
As their craft nears the planet, dramatic events put the mission and the lives of the rescuers in doubt. Desperate measures save three of the four rescuers. When they arrive on the planet, they discover a survivor (Don Cheadle) and begin to sort out his incredible story. The crew then investigates an alien monument that could be responsible for dooming the first mission.

Blood Work

R Time:110

Clint Eastwood directed and stars in this gritty crime thriller about an ailing ex-lawman who undertakes an arduous mission to catch a killer. Based on Michael Connelly's bestseller, the film stars the cagey actor as Terry McCaleb, a retired FBI detective who is recovering from a heart transplant when he meets the beautiful Graciella Rivers, a young woman who believes McCaleb can find her sister's killer. Popping medication like candy, McCaleb takes the case, but as he slowly draws closer to uncovering the criminal's identity, he realizes there is a shocking connection to his former career. Jeff Daniels co-stars as McCaleb's slacker neighbor and chauffeur. Also with Anjelica Huston, Wanda De Jesus, Tina Lifford, Paul Rodriguez and Dylan Walsh.
