REDSTAR

Fifty years from now, the first resort is built on Mars. Only the richest and most privileged clientele are attending the inaugural weekend of Redstar. However, originally put on the planet was a penal colony designed to get rid of the most vile criminals on Earth. Miles and miles away from the resort, the prison is connected via an elaborate tunnel that connects to a central control. The tough, evil prisoners have escaped, killed all the guards, and made it through the tunnels to the resort, where everyone is taken hostage. Their only demand -- a ship large enough to carry the residents of the prison back to Earth. Now the lone surviving guard needs to figure out a plan to save those in the resort. Good thing, he's an ex-Marine who survived the fourth World War.

PROPHET

John Barrett (Ford), anchorman for “NewsSix at Five,” the city’s most watched newscast, has a problem. His comfortable, successful world is being jarred to the breaking point. He’s caught his producer, Tina Lewis (Collette), skewing a story to fit her own prejudices, then lying to cover her tracks and she appears to be hiding something much bigger. His Father’s (Voight) “accidental” death suddenly isn’t looking so accidental. Carl (Osment), his estranged son, has returned to challenge his integrity and probe to find the man behind the TV image. The supposedly professional and objective newsroom is now divided and fighting over Truth. And what are these mysterious “voices” Barrett is hearing…

TRANSFER OF POWER

Based on the acclaimed novel by Vince Flynn, comes this explosive action thriller.

It is 8:43 am in the White House. The stately calm of the place is suddenly disturbed as terrorists attack and take over the White House. Through luck and some quick thinking the President is moved to a secure underground bunker.

In enters Mitch Rapp, a member of the "Orion team". He uses the various secret passages in and around the white house to gain entry. He quickly discovers a chilling secret -- the president may not be as safe as everybody thinks in his underground bunker!

PHYSICAL THERAPY

A charming, yet preppy man meets a computer geek in a coffee shop. They begin to fall for each other and go head over heels. Eventually, they get married. After they get married, they sit down together and talk about their lives in the past. They both tell their stories and talk about their lives. Next, they discuss their relationship, and so on. Later, they realize that they have one thing in common---they both recently got divorces with their spouse's best friend. Join us in this all-new romantic comedy to see how these two adults can cope with the fact that they divorced the other's best friend. So, they have to go through life knowing they were both, in an ironic sort of way, "marriage-killers." Now, they have two choices: either stay together forever or get another divorce. Which one will they choose?

I am on a Sci-Fi fest at the moment so RedStar it is. They all have good plots though.

It was a tough decision, but I couldn't vote for mine, so it had to be between Redstar, Prophet, and Transfer of Power. Hmm...

I went with Redstar.

But this weekend is totally packed!! Redstar, Prophet, and Transfer of Power are all playing to similar audiences.

I'm thinking Redstar will grab the teen audience, so it should open on top. Prophet and Transfer of Power are going to be sharing the adult audience. It sucks, because all three movies sound good.
