Match Point
Plot Summary:
The man who said ‘I’d
rather be lucky than goodâ saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face
how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much
is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits
the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back.
With a little luck, it goes forward and you winâŠor maybe it doesnât, and you
lose.â
A one-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton (Jonathan
Rhys Meyers) was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends
Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) and marries his sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), the
doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only
dreamed of. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is torn by his
attraction to Tomâs impossibly beautiful and sensual fiance, Nola (Scarlett
Johansson). The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a
critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short
againâŠand whether or not his luck runs out.
âMatch Pointâ is a drama about ambition and
obsession, the seduction of wealth, and the often discordant relationship
between love and sexual passion. Perhaps most importantly, however, the story
reveals the huge part luck plays in the events of our lives, refuting the
comforting misconception that more of life is under our control than really
is.

New World, The
Plot Summary:
"The New World" is a sweeping adventure set amidst
the first encounter of European and Native American cultures during the
founding of the Jamestown Virginia settlement in 1607. Acclaimed
filmmaker Terrence Malick brings to life his own unique interpretations of the
classic tale of Pocahontas and her relationships with adventurer John Smith
and aristocrat John Rolfe. This woman’s remarkable journey of love lost
and found takes her from the untouched beauty of the Virginia wilderness to
the upper crust of English society as we witness the dawn of a New America.
In the early years of the
17th century, North America is much as it has been for the previous five
thousand years — a vast land of seemingly endless primeval wilderness
populated by an intricate network of tribal cultures. Although these nations
live in graceful harmony with their environment, their relations with each
other are a bit more uneasy. All it will take to upset the balance is an
intrusion from the outside.
One is not long in
coming.
