"Want to see the previews?\u00A0Download the magazine\u00A0to enjoy all the rich content it has to offer!\r\n\r\nThe problem with previews is they lack actionability. You watch them, get excited, and that's that. It is foreplay without a follow-up. In today's economy we want what we want when we want it. For this issue we selected a few classics around our overall theme. Watch these trailers, and download them right away if you want.\r\n\r\nWe selected 4 movies that fit this month's theme, emerging markets, and one that is new and just awesome. Play the trailer, read our reviews and then download the movies straight away. But don\u2019t watch them until after you\u2019ve finished reading our articles!\r\n\r\nThe Artist\u00A0\r\n\r\nAward-winning film The Artist is probably the best (well, maybe the only...) silent film we\u2019ve\u00A0ever seen. Still, Peppy Miller is the epitome of the emerging 1920s glamorous Hollywood scene,\u00A0while megastar George Valentin (played by Jean Dujardin) is suffering from an anticipated\u00A0career-killer: movies with speaking characters. Watch and experience their intertwined roles\u00A0onscreen for the very first time.\r\n\r\nBabel\r\n\r\nBabel\u2019s opening rifle shot could very well be the (fictional) shot heard round the world. Produced by Paramount Pictures, the weapon\u2019s fire sets a chain of events in motion: a tourist couple\u2019s effort to survive, a woman crossing into the Mexican border with two American kids, and a rebellious kid from the streets of Tokyo. The shared isolation, paranoia and struggles displayed are almost palpable. Be prepared for a heart-racing, but still profound, thriller. Rent it on iTunes for $2.99 or own it for just $9.99.\r\n\r\nSyriana\r\n\r\nCIA member Bob Barnes (George Clooney) is evasive and mysterious in Syriana which is, says The New York Times, \u201Cone of the\u00A0best geopolitical thrillers in a very long time.\u201D Writer and director Stephen Gaghan spins a wildly\u00A0complex narrative that relates back to 9/11 terrorism, laced with oil-based threats. The film isn\u2019t\u00A0based on true events \u2014 but the points and questions it raises in regard to energy, intelligence and\u00A0political fear are hard to shake off. Chilling and graphically inspiring, you won\u2019t forget this film.\u00A0And come on, George Clooney.\r\n\r\nSlumdog Millionaire\r\n\r\nA classic rags-to-riches story: an eighteen-year-old orphan finds himself in the midst of a scandal even greater than the one he left behind while begging on the streets of Mumbai. After coming within one question of winning the wildly popular game show, \u2018Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?\u2019, police officers bring him into custody \u2014 and Dev Patel\u2019s character reveals an amazing and fateful past littered by disease, death and heartbreak. A must-see if you haven\u2019t already.\r\n\r\nBlack Rain\r\n\r\nBlack Rain isn\u2019t your average \u2018good cop, bad cop\u2019 movie. Mike Conklin (Michael Douglas), a New York detective, is facing corruption \u2014 that is, until Yusaku Matsuda\u2019s character kills two Manhattan mob members and is exported to Osaka for his trial, with Douglas as one of his escorts. When Matsuda\u2019s turned over to the Japanese mob, intensity builds. With picturesque views of Osaka throughout the film and gritty, true-to-life scenes of debauchery and tough investigative procedures, director Jan de Bont hit the nail on the head with this flick.\r\n\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
