180 Degrees South: Conquerors of the Useless (Unrated)
What happens when two men set out for the adventure of a lifetime -- only to discover a mission that’s greater than themselves? 180 Degrees South is the story of an epic, rugged journey that Yvon Chouinard undertook in 1968. His travels inspired him to save 2 million acres of the Patagonia (after which he named his global company), and bear lessons for a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike. (Yvon Chouinard Himself, Doug Tompkins Himself)
From Paris with Love (R)
The classic odd-couple scenario gets a French twist in this slick, high-octane ride about a bad-ass baddie-crusher who doesn’t play by the rules and a wimpy do-gooder who thinks he’s ready for ready for action. When the bullets start flying on the streets of Paris, the two suddenly need each other to survive as they’re caught in a game of intrigue with stakes higher than either could have imagined. (John Travolta Charlie Wax, Jonathan Rhys Meyers James Reece)

Shutter Island (R)
Armed with a gun, some heavy theories and a grating Boston accent, Martin Scorsese brings fear to the big screen in this adaptation of a bone-chilling novel. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a cop who becomes entangled in the mysterious disappearance of a patient at a facility for the criminally insane. In this nightmare nothing is as it seems -- and the most dangerous weapon is the human mind. (Leonardo DiCaprio Teddy Daniels, Mark Ruffalo Chuck Aule)
