GAMER is a high-concept action thriller
set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a
terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale,
multi-player online games: people play people... for keeps. Mind-control
technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is
its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His
latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers,"
allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front
of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they
fight to the death.
Kable (300's Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the
ultraviolent "Slayers." Kable is controlled by Simon, a young
gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding
Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced
to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long
enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to
save mankind from Castle's ruthless technology.

strong brutal violence throughout, sexual content, nudity and language

In an alternate reality, lying - even the
concept of a lie - does not even exist. Everyone - from politicians to
advertisers to the man and woman on the street - speaks the truth and
nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences.
But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark suddenly develops the
ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world
where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies
his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark
begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when
some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the
entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark
has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.

some sexual material and a drug reference

Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) is an
unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to
assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by
mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty
who has a unique method of killing her prey (Martha Higareda), a
power-tool wielding psychopath (Vinnie Jones) and a deadly master of
disguise (Tommy Flanagan). Also in the hunt is the fan-favorite Tremor
family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Autumn
Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Maury Sterling, Michael Parks and C.
Ernst Harth). Baker (Clayne Crawford), the agent in charge of the
operation, puts himself and his team in the line of fire to defend Weed,
but it’s not until the smoke clears on the film’s explosive climax
that the surprising identity of the plot’s mastermind is revealed.

After two years stationed at Antarctica's
South Pole research base, lone U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate
Beckinsale) is as anxious as anyone to be going home. She's turned in
her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last plane
out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice and
Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica's first murder
investigation. As the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with
shifting loyalties, deadly whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will
stop at nothing to protect a secret buried for over sixty years. Now
with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve
the crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and
she is stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no
one gets out.
