'BigDog' is a robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads (120 pounds). BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine and its legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have elements that absorb shock and recycle energy. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system.  (close)

In Lucky You, director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys, 8 Mile) brings us a story based in the world of high-stakes Las Vegas poker. Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a blaster—a player who goes all out, all the time. But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding emotional commitments and long-term expectations. When Huck sets out to win the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker—and the affections of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore), a young singer from Bakersfield—there is one significant obstacle in his path: his father, L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall), the poker legend who abandoned Huck's mother years ago. As these two rivals progress toward a final showdown at the poker table, Huck learns that to win in the games of life and poker, he must try to play cards the way he has been living his life and live his life the way he has been playing cards. The screenplay is by Academy Award winners Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Insider) & Curtis Hanson from a story by Eric Roth.  (close)
