World's End, The
Synopsis
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reteam with director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) in this wildly entertaining thrill ride that critics call "funny as hell" (Richard Roeper, WLS-AM Chicago) and "sheer comic perfection" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Twenty years after their first epic pub crawl attempt, the "five musketeers" reunite in their home town to complete the ultimate challenge - one night, five friends, twelve bars - a boozy quest on which only the strongest will survive. But after a bizarre series of encounters with the out-of-this-world locals, they soon realize that reaching their final pub, The World's End, may be the least of their troubles. They're having the time of their lives, ready to take on the world... but tonight they may have to save it.

4 Assassins
In the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong, ace hit-man Marcus Nang was summoned to meet with three professional colleagues. The location? His choice. The reason? To resolve unfinished business. Not knowing who might show up, Marcus checks into a suite at the Sham Shui Guesthouse, an Asian style hotel in a not so glamorous part of town. He waits. The first top arrive is the beautiful Cordelia Leigh, Marcus's former lover and and an equally deadly killer. For Marcus, seeing Cordelia after all these years is a surprise given the circumstance. Their relationship ended badly and Cordelia has not forgiven him. Accompanying Cordelia is Chase Holmes, a young gun from Gibralter, who is eager to make his mark. Eli Stoke, the mentor to Marcus and Cordelia is the last to arrive. A well-weathered gentleman, Eli has been in the business longer than he can remember. It pains him to have to confront Marcus, who looks up to him as a father figure. Clearly something has gone wrong with the last hit. Eli and Cordelia press Marcus for answers while Chase is ready to kill. Marcus insists he has done what needed to be done. Eli wants to know the real truth. Over an elaborate meal the four highly skilled assassins reminisce about the past and ponder the future. In a tense and highly claustrophobic setting, accusations fly, lines are drawn and secrets revealed. It all culminates to an explosive showdown where no one is safe. "Four Assassins" examines the meaning of love against a violent and brutal backdrop, and ask the ultimate question, what is the price of love. Shot entirely on location in Hong King, "Four Assassins" stars Will Yun Lee (Die Another Day, Hawaii Five-O) and Miguel Ferrer (Traffic, Twin Peaks).
