The Grand is in the tradition of improvisational comedies like Best In Show and This Is Spinal Tap. The story is set in the world of professional poker and follows six players who reach the final table of the world’s second most famous high stakes tournament, the Grand Championship of Poker.
A surreal adaptation of Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur", chronicling Arthur Pendragon's conception, his rise to the throne, the search by his Knights of the Round Table for the Holy Grail, and ultimately his death.
Robin Hood comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard is in exile and that the despotic King John now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham. Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with King John and the Sheriff.
A number of fighters are invited to DOA, an invitational martial arts contest. They travel to the tournament island by plane, until they have to jump out mid-flight with parachutes, and then have until sundown to reach the main island to be entered into the tournament. Fighters are then pooled against one another in a knock-out style tournament, with the loser of a battle sent home, and the winner progressing to the subsequent round. The plot revolves around four female fighters who begin as rivals, but subsequently find themselves teaming up against another force.

Difficult times lie ahead for Harry Potter.
Beset by nightmares that leave his scar hurting more than usual, Harry (DANIEL RADCLIFFE) is all too happy to escape his disturbing dreams by attending the Quidditch World Cup with his friends Ron (RUPERT GRINT) and Hermione (EMMA WATSON).
But something sinister ignites the skies at the Quidditch campsite - the Dark Mark, the sign of the evil Lord Voldemort. It's conjured by his followers, the Death Eaters, who haven't dared to appear in public since Voldemort (RALPH FIENNES) was last seen thirteen years ago - the night he murdered Harry's parents.
Harry longs to get back inside the safe walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Professor Dumbledore (MICHAEL GAMBON) can protect him. But things are going to be a little different this year.

Having survived in the deadly arena of the Hunger Games, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) not only has got enough gumption to win the victory, but also makes the authorities to recognize the double win of her and her fellow Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Having returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games, the champions are soon to embark on a “Victor’s Tour” in the twelve districts of Panem, which are under control of ruthless Capitol’s President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
However, although officially recognized, victory with hindsight does not satisfy every one, far from it. Contrary to President’s Snow expectations, the victory of Katniss and Peeta doesn’t strengthen his power in the spheres of influence. Panem is transfixed with horror, but an uprising is in the air. Katniss soon becomes a symbol of simmering rebellion and hope for a better future. Feeling alarmed, Capitol’s President decides that the best way to bring everything back to track is to force Peeta and Katniss, now in love, into the Arena once again and to get rid of both of them in case of success. The President announces the special Hunger Games (the Quarter Quell) for the winners of the last 25 games who are supposed to be much stronger than the last year’s teen champions.
Forced into the Arena, Katniss must once again demonstrate her artfulness and win to save herself and the ones she loves. Unfortunately, the Fortune seems to turn against her… Will the strong-willed girl accept her fate with resignation, or will she struggle against the system to the last breath? Find all the answers in the dynamic movie full of unexpected plot twists, passions, adventures and dangers.
“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” opens on November 22.
