Opening Films, Jan. 26 – Feb. 2, 2012

 

 ”The Grey” (R)

In The Grey, Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig  roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan  wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the  survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements – and a  vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt – before their time runs  out.

 

“Man On A Ledge” (PG-13)

An ex-cop and now wanted fugitive (Sam Worthington) stands on the ledge of a high-rise building while a hard-living New York Police Department negotiator (Elizabeth Banks)tries to talk him down. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective.

 

“One For The Money” (PG-13)

A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum’s got plenty of attitude, even if she’s been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company…as a recovery agent. True, she doesn’t even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn’t stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny’s biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli – yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school.
