Grave Encounters
Thursday, July 7 @ Caesars Beach, Sundown
92 minutes
Directors: The Vicious Brothers
Cast: Ben Wilkinson, Sean Rogerson, Ashleigh Gryzko and Juan Riedinger
Description: Lance Preston and the crew of "Grave Encounters," a ghost-hunting reality television show, are shooting an episode inside the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena has been reported for years. All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted—it is alive—and it has no intention of ever letting them leave. They find themselves lost in a labyrinth maze of endless hallways and corridors, terrorized by the ghosts of the former patients. They soon begin to question their own sanity, slipping deeper and deeper into the depths of madness, ultimately discovering the truth behind the hospital’s dark past…and taping what turns out to be their final episode.
Catching Hell
Friday, July 8 @ Caesars Beach, Sundown
102 minutes
Director: Alex Gibney
Description: Catching Hell documents the pop fly that will live in infamy. When Chicagoan Steve Bartman fatefully deflected a foul ball in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship, the city's long-suffering Cubs fans found someone new to blame for their cursed century without a World Series title. Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney explores the psychology of diehard sports fans, the frightening phenomenon of scapegoating, and the hysteria that turned mild-mannered Bartman into the most hated fan. Produced by ESPN Films, Catching Hell recently had its World Premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, is available on Tribeca Film On Demand this summer and will premiere on ESPN September 27.
Last Night
Saturday, July 9 @ Caesars Beach, Sundown
92 minutes
Director: Massy Tadjedin
Cast: Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes, Griffin Dunne and Guillaume Canet
Description: Last Night is the New York-set story of a married couple, who, while, apart for one night, are confronted by temptation that may decide the fate of their marriage. Joanna (Academy Award® nominee Keira Knightley) and Michael (Sam Worthington) are seven years into a successful and happy relationship. They are moving along in their lives together until Joanna meets Laura (Eva Mendes), the stunningly beautiful work colleague whom Michael never mentioned. While Michael is away with Laura on a business trip, Joanna runs into an old but never quite forgotten love, Alex (Guillaume Canet), and agrees to have drinks with him. As the night progresses and temptation increases for the couple, each must confront who they are inside and outside of their relationship. Last Night is ultimately a film about choices—the choice you make to be with someone, to give yourself to them physically, and emotionally, and how to survive after you’ve made your choice.
Brother's Justice
Sunday, July 10 @ Caesars Beach, Sundown
80 minutes
Director: Dax Shepard and David Palmer
Cast: Dax Shepard, Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, David Koechner, Michael Rosenbaum and Nate Tuck
Description: In an attempt to shake up his career, actor Dax Shepard makes the decision to abandon comedy in pursuit of his true dream: to become an internationally-renown martial arts star. Without any formal martial arts training, or any real funding for his ‘blockbuster’ action movie script, Dax enlists the help of his buddies including producer Nate Tuck and actor Tom Arnold. Together, they work towards Dax’s true passion while facing rejection at every turn. With maniacal conviction, Dax journeys on a bizarre path that becomes increasingly nonsensical and destructive, all at the expense and exploitation of his personal and professional relationships. Brother's Justice marks Dax Shepard’s directorial debut, co-directed by David Palmer. The Hollywood satire also features performances by Bradley Cooper and David Koechner, among others.
