| | Rated: PG-13 "Paper Heart" is a part-documentary, part-scripted comedy about the real-life relationship between Michael Cera and his girlfriend, Charlyne Yi. Like Cera's recent "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist," music also is a key theme. |
| | Rated: PG-13 Sophie Barthes’s debut feature is a witty existentialist comedy about a man who needs relief from his weary soul. A playful blend of science fiction, deadpan absurdism, and sharp social satire, "Cold Souls" stars Paul Giamatti as an actor named Paul Giamatti who goes to physical and philosophical extremes for the sake of a role. |
| | Rated: NONE In "I Sell the Dead," 19th century justice has finally caught up with two of the craftiest grave robbers in town. With only a few hours to go before his date with the guillotine, body-snatcher Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan / "Lord of the Rings," "Lost") tells his life story to the peculiar Father Francis Duffy (Ron Perlman / "Hellboy," "The City of Lost Children"). Before long, Arthur spills the beans on how he got started in the grim corpse peddling business with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden / "Wendigo," "The Last Winter," "Habit"). As the whisky flows Arthur's tales get stranger and stranger. From their graveyard discoveries of vampires and zombies to tales of vicious gang rivalries with the infamous House of Murphy, Arthur's confessions are the stuff of legend! Whether pillaging in fog drenched grave yards or plotting on blood soaked coast lines, Grimes and Blake leave no graves unturned. Their colorful and peculiar history is one filled with adventure, horror, and mayhem that threaten to drag all involved down into the very graves they’re trying to pilfer. |
| | Rated: NONE "Beeswax" is a story about families, real and imagined, people taking care of each other when they want to, when they need to, when they ought to. It is also a film that perhaps moves the most famous member of the "Mumblecore" out of the group and into the next stage of his career. Like Bujalski's previous films, the cast of "Beeswax" is made up of non-professional (but carefully cast) actors and filmed with a light, fast-moving crew. The goal is to tell an intimate, peculiar story the likes of which one could not achieve via a more traditional, large-scale mode of production. |
| | Adapted from internationally acclaimed author Zülfü Livaneli’s novel, "Bliss" is an unconventional road movie in which the executioner of an honour killing and his victim go on a journey of self-discovery. |
| | Rated: NONE An intimate look into Barack Obama's brain trust and his key organizing generals on the ground. |
