Escolha 1
The Night We Called It A Day (Refens Por Uma Noite) (NEW)
Starring Dennis Hopper, Melanie Griffith, Portia De Rossi, David Hemmings,
Joel Edgerton and Rose Byrne.
Made by Australian director Paul Goodman, The Night We Called It a Day is
a comedy based on the true story of Frank Sinatra’s uproarious visit to Sydney in 1974. The local press hound him and in true Sinatra style he retaliates, calling the press 'fags and hookers' at his opening concert. The Australian trade unions then blackball Frank, trapping him in his hotel room - cutting off his water, refusing him room service etc, and no fuel for his Lear jet to get him back home - until he apologises. But there are two things Frank says he never does, 'yawn in the presence of the woman he loves ... and say sorry'. Frank Sinatra’s comeback trip 'down-under' made headlines around the world. Even US President Nixon commented that he wished the saga would continue to keep him off the front page during Watergate.

Radio (NEW)
Starring Cuba Gooding Junior, Ed Harris, Debra Winger, Chris Mulkey and
Sarah Drew.
This is the decades-long story of the relationship between a prominent high school football coach in a small South Carolina town and the illiterate, mentally-challenged man nicknamed Radio whom he mentors, who before that had always been the target of jokes and teasing by the community. Although their friendship raises some eyebrows at first, Radio's growth under the coach's guidance ultimately inspires the local townsfolk, from 1964 when he first starts helping the Hanna Yellow Jackets football team, through a 38+ career with the school that continues today.

Starring Toni Collette, Gotaro Tsunashima, Matthew Dyktynski, Lynette
Curran, John Howard and Yumiko Tanaka.

strangers are to find themselves thrust together in a potentially life or death situation.

Hellboy
Starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert
Evans, John Hurt and David Hyde Pierce.
Based on the comic book series by Mike Mignola, Guillermo del Toro's
gleefully eccentric film follows the supernatural adventures of Hellboy
(Ron Perlman), a cigar-chomping, horn-filing demonic hero enlisted by an
occult scholar (John Hurt) to fight evil in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. Along with the fire-throwing Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) and the amphibious psychic Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, with the voice of David Hyde Pierce), Hellboy is joined by new recruit John Myers (Rupert Evans), a squeaky-clean FBI agent assigned to keep the big red devil's exploits in check. Things get out of hand, however, when a vicious monster is unleashed by the villainous Rasputin (Karl Roden), leading to events that may set off an apocalyptic nightmare for humanity.
