Acclaimed actor Leonardo DiCaprio stars in Academy Award-winning director Clint Eastwood's richly detailed biopic exploring the life and career of controversial FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. For nearly 50 years, Hoover (DiCaprio) fought crime as one of the most powerful law enforcers in America. During Hoover's extended stint as Director of the FBI, however, his penchant for bending the law in the name of seeking justice and using the secrets of high profile leaders to gain personal leverage won him just as many supporters as detractors. Little did many other than his loyal colleague Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer) and faithful secretary Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts) know, however, that Hoover himself was a man with many secrets to hide. Josh Lucas, Judi Dench, and Stephen Root co-star in film written by Oscar-winning Milk scribe Dustin Lance Black. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this low-budget horror thriller from Northern Ireland, a secret agent rises up from the dead to get bloody revenge upon those who double crossed him. The three part story begins with the capture of Irish computer genius O'Brien, the only one who knows the codeword needed to activate a top secret state-of-the-art car. Just before they torture him, agent Stone shows up to save him. It was Stone's long-time nemisis Hawk who gave him the necessary tip-off. A car chase ensues. In the second part, Hawk murders Stone. Unfortunately for the former, Stone does not let death stop him. He rises up from the grave and begins slaughtering his colleagues. In the third segment Stone uses his supernatural powers to rise up an army of the dead that includes such famed Irishmen as Saint Patrick. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
