Young-gun federal prosecutor Gina Gallagher (Tracey Needham) wins a monumental, career-making case when she dismantles a Colombian drug cartel. Her victory proves to be tenuous though when the cartel commissions a hit man to even the score. Bad aim sends the bullet intended for Gina into her partner`s head, forcing Gina to seek protective custody. With the help of her guardian -- gruff homicide detective Moe Ryan (Charles Durning) -- Gina uncovers a vast conspiracy linking the cartel out to kill her with several high-level government officials, including those charged with protecting her. With her life in danger and no where to turn, Gina finds an ally in the most unlikely of men, a former mobster (James Belushi) serving time in the state penitentiary.

The Birth of a Nation (DVD)
This landmark film from silent director D.W. Griffith was the first movie blockbuster. However, it also reveals a horribly racist version of American history. The first part of the film chronicles the Civil War as experienced through the eyes of two families; the Stonemans from the North, and the Camerons of the South. Lifelong friends, they become divided by the Mason-Dixon line, with tragic results. Large-scale battle sequences and meticulous historical details culminate with a staged re-creation of Lincoln`s assassination. The second half of the film chronicles the Reconstruction, as Congressman Austin Stoneman (Ralph Lewis) puts evil Silas Lynch (George Siegmann) in charge of the liberated slaves at the Cameron hometown of Piedmont. Armed with the right to vote, the freed slaves cause all sorts of trouble until Ben Cameron (Henry B. Walthall) founds the Ku Klux Klan and restores order and decency to the troubled land. While THE BIRTH OF A NATION was a major step forward in the history of filmmaking, it must be noted that the film supports a racist worldview. But there is no denying that it remains a groundbreaking achievement, setting a high watermark for film as an art form.NR"
