Freeheld - Released February 19th

Detective Lieutenant Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore) spent 25 years investigating tough cases in Ocean County, New Jersey, protecting the rights of victims and putting her life on the line. She had no reason to expect that in the last year of her life, after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, that her final battle for justice would be for the woman she loved.The documentary film "Freeheld" chronicles Laurel's struggle to transfer her earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie Andree Ellen Page). With less than six months to live, Laurel refuses to back down when her elected officials - the Ocean County Freeholders -deny her request to leave her pension to Stacie, an automatic option for heterosexual married couples. The film is structured chronologically, following both the escalation of Laurel's battle with the Freeholders and the decline of her health as cancer spreads to her brain.
As Laurel's plight intensifies, it spurs a media frenzy and a passionate advocacy campaign. At the same time, "Freeheld" captures a quieter, personal story: that of the deep love between Laurel and Stacie as they face the reality of losing each other. Alternating from packed public demonstrations at the county courthouse to quiet, tender moments of Laurel and Stacie at home, "Freeheld" combines tension-filled political drama with personal detail, creating a nuanced study of a grassroots fight for justice.

Hail, Caesar! revolves around the production of a film of the same name in 1950s Hollywood with Tinsel Town's biggest name, Baird Whitlock (George Clooney). When he's kidnapped with a ransom request of $100,000 from an organisation calling itself The Future, the film starts to look like it's in trouble, so fixer, Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), is brought in to try to smooth over the cracks with the press and hunt down the missing star in time to get the production back on its feet.
With a little support from the studio's leading lady (Scarlett Johansson) to hustle the money for the exchange and a raft of darlings, lovvies and up-and-coming talent to keep sweet, Mannix has got his work cut out for him. It's made all the more problematic when you take into account the fact that it's all going to go down in just a single day and the missing star isn't the only fix he'll need to finesse.
