Eight Below
Inspired by a true story, Eight Below is an action adventure about loyalty and the bonds of friendship set in the extreme wilderness of Antarctica. Three members of a scientific expedition: Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker), his best friend, Cooper, and a rugged American geologist, who are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica. During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for over 6 months. A story that will leave you cheering for the under dogs.

Proof

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn, Proof follows a devoted daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow) who comes to terms with the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins) a brilliant mathematician whose genius was crippled by mental insanity, and is forced to face her own fears and emotions. She adjusts to his death with the help of one of her father's former mathematical students (Jake Gyllenhaal) who searches through her father's notebooks in the hope of discovering a bit of his old brilliance. She must come to terms with the possibility that his genius, which she has inherited, may come at a painful price. A very compelling and deep drama.
