Coming Soon - Disturbia
After his father's death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -
so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother,
Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss), works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met
with indifference and lethargy. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes
a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his neighbors,
one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. But, are his suspicions merely the product
of cabin fever and his overactive imagination?
Coming Soon
Rent Now - 3:10 To Yuma
In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his
vicious gang of thieves and murderers plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is
captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), struggling to survive on
his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the 3:10 to Yuma,
a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each
from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's
outfit on their trail - and dangers at every turn - the mission soon becomes a
violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.
