Description
ATL
Sometimes 17-year-old Rashad and his pals hang out at the Waffle House, trying to figure out what's next after they graduate. But on Sunday nights, they know what's coming. They'll be at the Cascade roller rink: laying down moves, chillin' with friends...and for a few hours leaving what's outside outside.
Loosely based on the experiences of producers Dallas Austin (Drumline) and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins (lead singer of TLC) while growing up on Atlanta's south side, ATL is a Sunday night fever of laughs, drama and crunk sounds. Video director Chris Robinson makes his feature debut, guiding an ensemble that includes astonishingly natural movie newcomers Tip Harris (aka rapper T.I.), Lauren London and Antwan Andre Patton (aka Big Boi of the duo OutKast). Everyone's rollin' tonight. See you at Cascade.
New Jack City
Nino Brown is an American success story, an entrepreneur who's found the ultimate cash crop: crack. Nino thinks he's untouchable but he's wrong: a handful of street-smart cops are determined to bring him down.
Set It Off
Four women take the law into their own hands and try to get some pay-back by robbing the city's biggest banks in this riveting action drama starring Jada Pinkett (The Nutty Professor, Woo, Menace II Society), Queen Latifah (Sphere, Living Out Loud), Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day, Soul Food), Kimberly Elise (Beloved) and Blair Underwood (Just Cause, Deep Impact). Like Martin Scorsesešs Mean Streets and the Hughes Brothers' Menace II Society, Set It Off isnšt a story about right and wrong - itšs a story about survival.
Menace II Society
This urban nightmare chronicles several days in the life of Caine Lawson, following his high-school graduation, as he attempts to escape his violent existence in the projects of Watts, CA.
