Virtuality


Synopsis
Nothing is what it seems in this daring, futuristic movie event from legendary Director Peter Berg (Hancock) and Executive Producers Michael Taylor and Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica). Twelve extremely talented men and women have been chosen to be part of the Phaeton mission, a 10-year trek to explore a distant planetary system. In order to endure the stress of being confined to their high-tech vessel, the crew passes the time using advanced virtual reality modules that allow them to take on various identities. But as the ship approaches a critical phase of their journey, a deadly flaw is discovered in the virtual system, forcing them to question if someone onboard might be a killer. Starring Clea DuVall (Carnivale), Joe Bryant (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins), Sienna Guillory (Eragon) Ritchie Costar (The Dark Knight) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Firewall), it's a dazzling trip to unexplored reaches of outer space and the inner imagination that Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune calls a "complex and intriguing film."

Surviving Crooked Lake


A fun-filled camping trip turns into a grueling struggle to survive in this independent thriller. Steph (Stephanie Richardson) is a 14-year-old girl who has been terrified of the water ever since the traumatic death of her father. However, Steph is persuaded by three of her friends -- Alysha (Alysha Aubin), Candice (Candice Mausner), and Morgan (Morgan McCunn) -- to join them for an overnight canoe trip, with Jonah (Guy Yarkoni), Steph's older brother, serving as their guide. What starts as a playful trip down the river takes a sudden and unpleasant turn when an accident claims Jonah's life. Suddenly the four teenage girls are stranded in the wilderness, with no idea of where they are or how to get home. Making the journey all the more perilous is Steph's insistence that they can't leave her brother's body behind.
