ESTREIAS 1 (Video-On-Demand 1)
Man Of The Year (O Homem do Ano) [New]
Starring Robin Wiliams, Christopher Walken, Laura Linney, Lewis Black, Jeff Goldblum, Barry Levinson, Guy McElwaine and David Coatsworth.
Acerbic performer Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) has made his career out of skewering politicians and speaking the mind of the exasperated nation on his talk show. He cracked scathing jokes at a fractured system night after night...until he came up with a really funny idea: why not run for president himself? After a flip comment, Dobbs ignites a grassroots movement that puts him on the ballot. Hot on the campaign trail, he debates elected drones and says exactly what frustrated voters have often thought. November 2nd later, the muckraker wins - only to learn that a computer voting error gave him the victory. With time ticking on the inaugural clock, Dobbs has a big decision to make: should he go back behind the mike or stay in the Oval Office?

But she only finds her true free spirit running through the woods on the outskirts of the city... never knowing what she's chasing as it always evades capture. These shape shifters or 'loup garoux' are believed to have been persecuted to extinction and Aiden Garret (Hugh Dancy), an artist, arrives in Bucharest to do research for his next graphic novel on their mythology. Fighting his own personal demons, they achieved what Aiden lacks, transcendence - the ability to change what they are. Unaware the loup garoux still co-exist with humans he meets Vivian and is strongly attracted to her. Not knowing who or what she is, he persists until she agrees to see him. Vivian lives under the protection of Gabriel (Oliver Martinez) the leader of the loup garoux and she has already been chosen... her destiny is already predetermined.

EXITOS 2 (Video-On-Demand 4)
Premonition (Premonição)
Starring Sandra Bullock, Julian McMahon, Shyann McClure, Amber Valletta, Courtney Taylor Burness and Peter Stormare.
Devastated upon receiving the news that her husband has been killed in a tragic car accident, a woman wakes up to find him still very much alive as she begins to slip into a confusing world where the past and the future become increasingly difficult to distinguish. Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) was an average housewife with a loving family, but when a policeman comes knocking on her door with news that her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon), was involved in a fatal car accident, Linda's world slowly begins to unravel. While her grief is at first overwhelming, Linda assumes that the whole thing was nothing more than a vivid dream when she wakes to find her family still very much intact. With each passing day, however, Linda's reality shifts and her circumstances grow increasingly surreal; one day Jim is dead and the next he is right there by her side. As her investigation leaves her convinced that her husband's death wasn't a dream and that her picture-perfect life may not have been quite as flawless as she thought, Linda embarks on a mind-bending journey to prevent her grim premonition from becoming a reality. Now, in order to save the man she loves, Linda will have to piece together a perplexing mystery that seems to span two separate planes of reality.
