Unfortunately, his funding had come courtesy of a secret group of ruthless powermongers-and they mean to use his two prize subjects as pawns in a dastardly assassination plot.

Yes, Thanksgiving's a time for food, family, and uncomfortable political discourse around the table. This year, however, the President's expecting every single good American to have signed off on a loyalty oath by Black Friday, and resistant Chris (Ike Barinholtz, who wrote and directed) is headed for one chaotically ugly get-together with the folks. Pitch-black farce also stars Tiffany Haddish, John Cho, Carrie Brownstein, Nora Dunn, Billy Magnussen, Jay Duplass, Chris Ellis. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

This gritty World War II action drama starring Gregory Peck, Oscar winner Dean Jagger, Hugh Marlow, Gary Merrill and Millard Mitchell is seen as one of the most realistic portrayals of the heroics and perils of war. Convinced an Air Force commander is at the breaking point, Brigadier General Savage (Peck) takes over his struggling bomber group. At first resentful and rebellious, the flyers gradually change as Savage guides them to amazing feats. But the stress of command soon takes it's tool and the weary general reaches his own breaking point.
