Catch a Fire:

Apolitical until the apartheid-era South African government brutalizes him and his wife, Secunda Oil Refinery worker Patrick Chamusso (Derek Luke) turns terrorist in this fact-based thriller helmed by Phillip Noyce. Changed by his experience, Chamusso casts his lot with the outlawed African National Congress and volunteers to be a one-man wrecking crew against his ex-employer.

(did not get the best review, but there is nothing else coming out this week!)

Directed by Oscar winner Tony Bill, this epic drama tells the true story of the Lafayette Escadrille, a group of Americans who volunteered for the French military before the United States entered World War I. Farm boy Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) joins up and soon finds himself on an adventure more exciting than he ever imagined as he and his fellow soldiers become the world’s first fighter pilots. Jean Reno stars as their battle-weary leader. Releases on DVD Jan 30, 2007
