COP LAND - In the idyllic bedroom community of Garrison, New Jersey, a community of NYPD officers takes refuge away from the big city`s troubles while still enjoying all the kickbacks, cover-ups, and mob-owned banking privileges from across the river. But the code of silence is tested when an off-duty, drunk rookie cop from their ranks wrongfully kills two black men and the local sheriff begins to investigate. COP LAND is an ambitious ensemble drama notable for eliciting a strong performance (and a 40-lb weight gain) from Sylvester Stallone.
ONE GOOD COP - A widowed policeman is killed in the line of duty, leaving behind three little girls. His best friend, a dedicated, extremely honest NYPD detective, decides to take in the orphaned girls and raise them with the help of his wife. The detective quickly discovers how hard it is to sustain a family on a policeman`s salary. Desperately in need of a larger place to live and under fire from unsympathetic social workers who want to remove the girls to what they consider a more suitable home, the well-meaning cop becomes involved in an unsavory scheme to raise extra money.

Fires Within (DVD)
FIRES WITHIN is a taut family drama set in the expatriate Cuban community of Miami. As the film opens, Isabel (Greta Scacchi) waits for her husband, Nestor (Jimmy Smits), at Opa Locka Airport with her young daughter, recalling the events that brought them to this point. In Cuba, against her wishes, Nestor pursued an anti-Castro political stance and, as a result, was jailed. Refusing to let Isabel help get him out of prison, Nestor told his wife to leave Cuba. Isabel and the baby, Maribi, set off for Florida in a small boat and only survive because they are rescued by Sam (Vincent DOnofrio). Now eight years have passed; Isabel and her daughter live in Miami, and Sam has become more than the man who rescued them. As Nestor arrives, difficult choices must be made....
In FIRES WITHIN, Australian director Gillian Armstrong looks at Nestors stand and examines the suffering that it has brought to his family. Armstrong and scriptwriter Cynthia Cidre explore Isabels dilemma as she considers her future, her daughter, her wish for a calm life, and what she will do about the two men who, each in his own way, love her.R"
