1. THE RESIDENT:
A film that had very little theatre distribution stars Hilary Swank with an unlikely appearance by horror fixture Christopher Lee … and why not? This is the third film from Britain’s Hammer Films, which, in the 60s, was a chief purveyor of horror movies. Here, Swank is a doctor who goes through a marriage break-up, finds a perfect loft in Brooklyn at an unbelievable price, and quickly begins to feel that someone may be watching. And it’s true … she’s not alone. Rated 14A.

2. CASINO JACK:

Abramoff was a Washington, DC lobbyist who got caught up in bigger and bigger schemes that eventually led to his downfall. Barry Pepper plays his influence-peddling partner, Michael Scanlon. Rated 14A.
