From the day their eyes open and they tumble out of the den, Tiger – Spy in the Jungle captures the day-to-day lives of four tiny tiger cubs as they grow up alongside their devoted mother in the very heart of India. The tiger is not only the world’s favourite wild animal but also one of the rarest, and as David Attenborough says, “This is the most intimate portrait of tigers ever seen.” To enter the world of this tiger family, John Downer and his wizard team, cameraman Michael Richards and techno-boffin Geoff Bell, deploy the ultimate all-terrain camera vehicles – elephants – kitted out with the latest high-definition ‘secret weapons’ of wildlife filmmaking – trunk-cam, tusk-cam and log-cams. The four elephants here in India’s Pench national park have also been taught new filming skills by their mahouts – how to keep a steady trunk and a delicate touch. As eco-friendly 4X4s, the elephants carry the hefty trunk-cam and smaller tusk-cam wherever the tiger family goes across its 10-square mile territory. The tigers seem oblivious to the elephants and allow them to place trunk-cam right under their whiskers to film. The elephants also use the devices to film the tigers on the move. The human film crew film from another elephant and control the ele-cams remotely.

Bear Grylls is a seasoned adventurer who served with the Special Air Service, a special forces unit of the British army, where he was trained as a survival expert. His experiences include climbing Mount Everest, crossing the freezing North Atlantic Ocean in a small, open boat and climbing a Himalayan peak described by Sir Edmund Hillary as 'unclimbable'. He has been places and done things that would defeat most normal people. But now, he is up against something completely different.

Terrorists have hijacked a Boeing 747 en route from Athens to Washington, D.C., demanding in exchange for the hostages the release of fictional terrorist El Sayed Jaffa, who had been recently captured and taken into United States custody. It is discovered that the terrorists are actually planning an attack on Washington, D.C., placing a bomb on the airplane that will release a large amount of nerve gas on detonation. A plan is devised to place a small team of United States Army Special Forces into the plane mid-flight to retake control and disable the bomb. If they are not successful, the decision to shoot down the aircraft before it reaches United States airspace is made, trading the lives of the approximately 400 innocent passengers to save the lives of hundreds of thousand people on the ground. This decision is an "executive decision", meaning that it must be specifically approved by the President of the United States.

Like his debut feature, "Destiny Of A Man", director Sergei Bondarchuk's "They Fought For Their Motherland" is a screen adaptation of Nobel Prize winning author Mikhail Sholokov's novel.
July 1942. The army is retreating. A group of exhausted soldiers, all that’s left of their regiment, are defending a plot of land. At times they feel like there is no war. Wide tank tracks on the road, and all around are drooping, wilted grasses, dimly glistening salt marshes and a bluish flickering haze over distant mounds…
In that absurd clash between the warmly breathing earth and the inhuman war machine lies a powerful Biblical generalization, the metaphor of confrontation of eternal life and dark, evil forces. The loss of Soviet life in the campaign was legion but the film concentrates on the remnants of one shattered regiment and its individual soldiers' thoughts and fears in the face of impending annihilation, not only of themselves but Mother Russia too.

Blind Date is a 1987 comedy/romance film, directed by Blake Edwards and starring Kim Basinger and Bruce Willis. The film was originally intended for the recently married Madonna and Sean Penn, but both backed out at the last minute. It was Willis' film debut — his character in the film was deliberately written so as to be different from the character he had played in the TV series Moonlighting. The film was a financial success and opened at number one at the box office.

The title is a reference to the traditional green cloth (or baize) of a pool table being reminiscent of American currency notes. The Color of Money is a 1984 novel by American writer Walter Tevis, and a 1986 film semi-adaptation by the same title, continuing the story of pool hustler and stakehorse Edward "Fast Eddie" Felson, with Paul Newman reprising his role from the The Hustler (1959) and its film adaptation (1961). The sequel novel and film share as their premise the continuation of Felson's story at a point more than 20 years after the events depicted in The Hustler, and with Eddie not having been active on the pool circuit during that time. But aside from this and the title, they have little in common. Although Tevis did author a screenplay for The Color of Money that was based on his novel, the filmmakers ultimately decided not to use Tevis's story at all, and instead crafted an entirely different one for the movie,one with a large number of plot-point similarities to the earlier 1980 pool comedy, The Baltimore Bullet. In addition to Newman, the film also stars Tom Cruise as Fast Eddie's protege and rival Vincent Lauria, plus Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Helen Shaver and John Turturro. The screenplay was written by Richard Price, and the film was directed by Martin Scorsese, featuring an original score by Robbie Robertson.
