Directed by Brian Katkin. Screenplay by John Huckert and Dan Acre, from a story by Huckert, Acre, and Damian Akhavi. Released through New Concorde. 86 minutes, rated R. It was the last film shot at Roger Corman's studios in Venice Beach, California, and it only had a 12-day shooting schedule. The studio was being torn down during the production. The film actually began life as a remake of Slumber Party Massacre, and writers John Huckert and Dan Acre were hired to pen the script. But after visiting the soon-to-be-demolished studio they came up with this idea instead. Producer Damien Akhavi helped them write the story. Footage from the original Slumber Party Massacre can still be seen during a murder sequence as an in-joke for the production crew.

While popular, Wild Wild West did not live up to its creators' blockbuster expectations, as had Men in Black two years earlier: many viewers and critics felt it repeated things done already in Men in Black.

PG-13 (USA) "One of Australia's most anticipated films of the year, the musical Bran Nue Dae arrives with all the energy, fun and downright sass of the original stage version. Featuring a cast that includes both acclaimed and emerging Australian actors and musicians, the story of one young Aboriginal man's search for love and his true identity can finally reach audiences all over the world. It's the summer of 1969 in Broome, an idyllic spot on Australia's west coast. Sixteen-year-old Willie (Rocky McKenzie) just wants to hang out with his friends. When he gets up the courage, he also wants to invite the beautiful local church singer, Rosie (Jessica Mauboy), out to the movies. But these typical teenaged pursuits must wait, as Willie is about to leave for Catholic boarding school in Perth at the wishes of his deeply devout mother. Life at the boarding school under the oppressive and condescending leadership of Father Benedictus (Geoffrey Rush) soon chafes, however, and Willie rebels, bolting for freedom. Alone in the city, he has no survival skills. He eventually finds a mentor in Uncle Tadpole (Ernie Dingo), an errant former resident of Broome. Tadpole insists on accompanying Willie back home, and the pair hitch a ride with the hippie Annie (Missy Higgins) and a German tourist, Slippery (Tom Budge). In the meantime, Father Benedictus has hit the highway in search of Willie, determined to return him to school. Underneath the film's road movie/romantic comedy veneer is a story about identity and culture, and how each person needs to navigate those stony shores individually. The latter half of the sixties is a fitting era for such a philosophical search, and production designer Felicity Abbott captures it perfectly. Photography by Andrew Lesnie (who won an Academy Award® for The Fellowship of the Ring) showcases both the stunning Australian landscapes and the compelling visage of Willie as he tries to maintain his emotional footing amid the chaos that surrounds him. Hats off to director Rachel Perkins for shepherding one of Australia's finest stage productions to the screen." Quoting Jane Schoettle on the 2009 TIFF site.

The movie exhibits elements of both film noir and surrealism. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern. The title is taken from The Clovers' 1955 song of the same name. Although initially detested by some mainstream critics, the film is now widely acclaimed, and earned Lynch his second Academy Award nomination for Best Director. As an example of a director casting against the norm, Blue Velvet is also noted for re-launching Hopper's career and for providing Rossellini with a dramatic outlet beyond the work as a fashion model and a cosmetics spokeswoman for which she had until then been known. After the commercial and critical failure of Lynch's Dune, he made attempts at developing a more "personal story", somewhat characteristic of the surreal style he displayed in his debut Eraserhead. The screenplay of Blue Velvet had been passed around multiple times in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with many major studios declining it because of its strong sexual and violent content.

One modern horror film, The Blair Witch Project, did inspire Roth to use the internet to help promote the film during its production and help gain interest towards its distribution.

R (USA) Ceremony is a 2010 comedy film directed by Max Winkler. "What to do when the woman of your dreams, Uma Thurman’s Zoe, is about to get married to another guy? According to Sam (a fast-talking and decidedly precocious Michael Angarano), the “solution” is to crash the wedding of said ex-girlfriend, insinuate yourself into the weekend’s festivities, throw a lot of balls in the air, and see where they land… Debuting director Max Winkler’s irreverent comedy eschews a standard A-to-B-to-C narrative in favor of a series of situations that highlight the comedic talents of Angarano and Thurman. This loose structure also allows for a steady stream of wisecracking dialogue before gradually revealing that maybe Sam and Zoe are not the ideal couple the former thinks they could be. While Thurman is the only veteran in the cast, Ceremony introduces us to a wide-range of up-and-comers: in addition to Angarano, both Lee Pace (A Single Man) and Reece Thompson (Rocket Science) provide eye-opening performances. And Winkler’s adroit handling of scenes ranging from the wacky to the poignant marks him as one to watch as well." Quoting the description from the 2011 Palm Springs International Film Festival site.

An African feature film that merges the pleasures of Nollywood with sleek camerawork, satisfying genre thrills and a rare look inside the very heart of the continent. Viva Riva! is unprecedented: a story set in contemporary Democratic Republic of the Congo full of intrigue, music and a surprisingly frank approach to sex. Riva is an operator, a man with charm and ambition in equal measure. Kinshasa is an inviting place. With petrol in short supply in DRC’s capital, he and his sidekick pursue a plot to get hold of a secret cache – barrels of fuel they can sell for a huge profit. Of course they’re not the only ones who want the stuff. Cesar is a ruthless, sharply dressed foreigner thriving in Kinshasa’s lawless streets. A female military officer joins the fray. Even the church will betray its tenets for a piece of the action. But Riva’s main nemesis is Azor, a crime boss in the classic style: big, decadent and brutal. He’s not a man to mess with, but his girlfriend, Nora, may just be the most seductive woman in all of DRC. Riva catches sight of her dancing at a nightclub and it’s not long before Nora matches the fuel cache as a coveted object of his lust. Shooting in high definition, Munga saturates this African genre film with rich colour and movement. The camera snakes through crowded streets and steaming nightclubs, capturing the tangible atmosphere of DRC today. As the film roves from Azor’s luxury lair, to lush scenes outside the city, to the dens where sin is for sale, Viva Riva! offers a portrait of urban Africa too rarely seen on screen. Even more surprising are its scenes of urgent sensuality, as Riva pursues Nora – or perhaps it’s the other way around. "The main purpose of a filmmaker,” Munga has said, “is to make film where it's needed." With Viva Riva! he kick-starts a film industry in DRC, and does it with style, focus and a whole lot of sizzle." Quoting Cameron Bailey from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival site.

But comparisons between the two films end there: Whereas Folman’s film was a quest for lost memories, Maoz uses his all too vivid recollections to bring us inside a single Israeli tank during the first 24 hours of the invasion. And when we say inside, we mean it: taking his cue from such masters of claustrophobic intensity as Don Siegel and Sam Fuller, Maoz restricts the film’s action entirely to the tank’s interior, showing us the outside world only—as the soldiers themselves see it—through the lens of a periscopic gun sight. The blisteringly intense result offers a one-of-a-kind snapshot of the camaraderie, terror, and gallows humor of wartime. Winner of the Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival."

R (USA) Baby Boy Production NotesIn 1991, 23-year-old director John Singleton guided viewers through South Central Los Angeles, taking for the first time an unflinching look at the devastating impact of violence on the black family. Boyz N the Hood ’s realistic portrayal of the inner city changed the face of black cinema forever. Ten years later, the Academy Award®-nominated director and writer returns to the same inner-city L.A. neighborhood and its complex social and political issues for the story of Jody (Tyrese Gibson), a misguided, 20-year-old African-American male who is really just a ‘baby boy’ finally forced—kicking and screaming—to face the commitments of real life. Streetwise and jobless, he has not only fathered two children by two different women—Yvette (Taraji P. Henson) and Peanut (Tamara LaSeon Bass)—but still lives with his own mother. He can’t seem to strike a balance or find direction in his chaotic life. To make matters worse, Jody must contend with his volatile best friend, Sweetpea (Omar Gooding), who has spent his life shuffling in and out of prison and seems to find trouble wherever he goes. In the meantime, Jody’s 36-year-old mother, Juanita (A.J. Johnson), has finally started to live her life again and is dating Melvin (Ving Rhames), a reformed O.G. (“old gangster”). Juanita is enjoying the simple things in life—her mantras, her garden, her new man—and wants Jody to finally take responsibility for his own life and children. Once Melvin moves in, there’s little room in the nest for a kid who’s overstayed his welcome and is perfectly content to ride the line between boy and man. Inevitably, on a journey filled with violence, romance, tears and laughter, Jody must face Melvin, both his “baby mamas,” a new adversary, Rodney (Snoop Dogg), and his own fears of adulthood if he wants to escape the life of a baby boy. Baby Boy, a cautionary South Central tale that pulls no punches as it examines the complexities of the extended black family, is a Columbia Pictures presentation of a New Deal Production, a John Singleton film. Baby Boy is written and directed by John Singleton. Producers are Singleton and Dwight Williams. The creative team includes cinematographer Charles E. Mills, production designer Keith Brian Burns, costume designer Ruth Carter and editor Bruce Cannon. Baby Boy has been rated R by the MPAA for STRONG SEXUALITY, LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE and SOME DRUG USE. about the production “For me, this movie is like watching the soul of a black man on screen,” says John Singleton. “It may be dysfunctional, but it’s real. I’m not celebrating something that is not reality; I’m just being honest to a story that I’m familiar with.” Adds Ving Rhames, who plays reformed convict Melvin, “this movie is like Unforgiven—no one is wearing a halo on his head. Everyone in this movie is human. They’ve become who they’ve become due to circumstances, situations, their environments and their relationships.” Baby Boy gives voice to the many young black men who have yet to embrace the responsibilities of adulthood while at the same time illustrating what single mothers go through attempting to raise young men on their own. “This movie is about a generation of young black men who haven’t grown up,” says Singleton. “They’ve all been raised by women, so they’re always trying to show how much of a man they are when what they really are are baby boys.” “I like the fact that John basically says, ‘look, this is what happens, what has happened, what is still going to happen in our communities if we as black men don’t take control of the black family unit,’” says Rhames. Though it addresses similar issues, Singleton stresses that Baby Boy is a companion piece, not a sequel, to Boyz N the Hood. “This movie is the third of what I call my ‘hood trilogy,’” explains the director. “The first was Boyz N the Hood, the second was Poetic Justice and the third is Baby Boy. Baby Boy is set in South Central L.A. and is based on... PG-13 (USA) American Women is a 2000 comedy film directed by Aileen Ritchie.

G "This is the sad story of three kids who are alone; three dirty-faced angels and a stubborn wish: to get to the border and cross it to a place that represents not so much a different country as a different world and the promise of a new life. Adolescence is yet another frontier two of them are closing in to, and every step they take together –alongside the youngest one, who’s six years-old– has an element of initiation: the nights spent on a train station; the water collected from a stream and the bread obtained thanks to the toothless smile of the youngest one; the meetings with strangers, who are sometimes generous but also hostile; a sneak peak at a sexual encounter in the woods. An expert with children actors, Kedzierzawska knows how to avoid easy sentimentalism and gratuitous display of misery, and relies on the authenticity in the relationships between her young stars, who protect each other –with no lack of disagreements, fights, or the occasional and very natural mean deeds– and translate their deprived and difficult world into an impulse for freedom."

R (USA) The Secrets is a 2007 Israeli drama film directed by Avi Nesher. R (USA) "In the works for several years, the low-budget Australian horror/fantasy DAMNED BY DAWN has finally emerged from the depths of postproduction to begin making appearances at genre film festivals across the world. The U.S. premiere took place at Screamfest this past Monday, with more no doubt soon to follow; keep an eye on the movie’s official website for updates. Presented by The Amazing Krypto Brothers in Kryptovision, DAMNED BY DAWN takes a traditional and serious approach to its horror, melding traditional supernatural tropes with present-day concerns. Announcing its intent with a quote about mournfully wailing a song of death, with a senior female voice intoning, “The line between reality and legend is thin,” DAMNED BY DAWN then gets down to the business of putting a family in an isolated farmhouse under siege by a banshee and a small army of maniacal, scythe-wielding, flying skeletons. It seems that Claire (Renee Willner) has inadvertently opened a portal that potentially allows the dead to return to the earth. While it might have more digital fog than a Japanese porn film, DAMNED BY DAWN is serious fun and a fine first effort for writer/director Brett Anstey, who also produced with Luke Gibson. And you can’t knock a film with flying skeletons." Quoting a review by Fangoria R (USA) The Plague is a 1992 Argentine-French-British drama film directed by Luis Puenzo and based on the novel La Peste by Albert Camus.

R (USA) Human Traffic is a 1999 British-Irish independent film written and directed by Welsh filmmaker Justin Kerrigan.

A central feature is the avoidance of moralising about the impact of 1990s dance lifestyle; instead the film concentrates on recreating the "vibe, the venues and the mood" of the dance movement from the 1988-89 "second summer of love" to the film's release in 1999. In the first 25 minutes of the film Lee, the 17 year old brother of central character Nina, enthuses "I am about to be part of the chemical generation" and lists, using the slang of the period, a series of drugs that he might experiment with later that night. The film is narrated by one of the stars, John Simm, featuring numerous cameo appearances.

Since 2005 she has been working on the project Women Without Men, exhibiting some parts of it as gallery installations, and now presenting it as a feature film. It is an interpretation of Shahrunsh Parsipar's novel of the same name, banned in Iran since its publication in 1989, which combines Neshat's skill in creating mood and tone with the magical-realist elements of the original writing. In parallel sequences, she portrays the lives of four women in 1953, the year when Iran's elected Prime Minister was removed in a coup d'etat backed by Britain and the US, in order to re-instate the Shah and avoid nationalising the country's oil resources. During this time of struggle for democracy and independence, the women's own search for freedom or survival in a culture with strict rules about religion and sexual and social behaviour leads each of them to a beautiful ephemeral garden, a place of safety and refuge.

PG (USA) "TIFF In Concert Film Series: The Neil Young Trunk Show with host, director Jonathan Demme The words Trunk Show conjure visions of unique and precious goods, displayed from old chunky leather-strapped luggage. The images recall a time of purposeful travel, when people moved across the country with deliberate speed. Neil Young’s Trunk show uses the traveling exhibit concept to bring to life his collection of rare song gems (“Mexico,” “Kansas” and the “The Sultan”), crowd favorites (“Cinammon Girl,” “Cowgirl in the Sand” and “Like a Hurricane”) and more recent material (“No Hidden Path” and “The Believer”). It is a collection for the ages. Young surrounds himself with his favorite instruments, played at whim, and a stage set filled with personal icons: a small-scale model of a guitar shop, a red phone and other items. The feeling on the stage is of a favorite place where Neil Young is able to create his music exactly as he wants, supported by long-time touring band friends Ben Keith, Rick Rosas, Ralph Molina, Anthony “Sweetpea” Crawford and wife Pegi Young. The spontaneous and raw film was shot during two shows at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania during the Chrome Dreams II tour. Director Jonathan Demme described it as “a reaction to ‘Heart of Gold,’” his previous film featuring Neil Young. That performance, done at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, was catefully staged for the camera, whereas Neil Young Trunk Show is caught on the fly. The viewer is taken into the live experience from all angles, including candid backstage moments with crew and complete set-up, from the wires to the rigging. “We didn’t plan anything,” said Demme. “This was the easiest film in the world to make.” The Academy Award-winning director (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia”), brought his veteran crew to shoot the two concerts with mostly hand-held cameras in HDCam, HDV and Super-8mm formats. The team included Director of Photography Declan Quinn (“Rachel Getting Married,” “28 Days,” “Leaving Las Vegas”) and a team of camera operators from Demme’s feature films and documentaries. “We made a home movie in a way,” noted Demme. Demme and editor Glenn Allen drew on the director’s longstanding relationship with Neil Young to provide viewers with an intimate portrait of the artist. The film uses long takes as an antithesis to the current fashion of quick-cutting, giving the music full reign over production techniques. The two nights allowed Young and his band to pull a wide-variety of songs, from the artist’s very early days right up to the present. The result is a lingering and emotional gaze at the interior character of Young, unpacked piece by piece from a lifetime of carefully-crafted music." Quoting the synopsis from the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival site.

Teenage superstars came from all over North America to join Walter in a LIFE Magazine feature spread, which recognized them as video game world champions.  This led to nationally televised competitions, a touring National Video Game Team, and the promise of fame, fortune... and groupies. The participants came from throughout the continent with one common goal - to be the ultimate player.  Feather-coiffed Bill Mitchell could plunk one quarter into a Pac-Man cabinet, conduct a veritable clinic on hand-eye coordination and hours of perfect play later (every dot, energizer, and ghost) work his magic until the machine -- out of memory – gave up. Todd Rogers -- "marathoning" genius -- once played a sleep-defying, record-breaking 82 hours straight.  Ron Bailey and Joel West, best friends in 1983, stopped talking to each other after Ron beat Joel's Berzerk world record.  They presently live 30 miles apart and haven't spoken in 22 years.  This type of ego-fueled feuding was not uncommon among the players of that era.

After scouring the neighborhood with the young girl to no avail, the men offer Leslie a ride so she won’t be late for school. Along the way, the men tell Leslie that they work for her father. After school, Leslie is surprised to find the two men waiting to drive her home. Claiming that her parents have been called away on urgent business, Alex and Frank coerce Leslie into the car and give her a drink.

PG-13 (USA) With the official repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy on September 20th, 2011, actor Marc Wolf, filmmaker John C. Walsh, and Creative Consultant Mary Harron bring Wolf’s acclaimed one-man Off Broadway show to the screen. The text from Wolf’s Obie Award-winning Off-Broadway show Another American: Asking and Telling was created verbatim from tape-recorded interviews conducted between 1996 and 1999. Like the play, this adaptation, aptly titled DON'T ASK DON'T TELL, uses Wolf's interviews with hundreds of soldiers and veterans, male and female, gay and straight and distills them into a compelling, and deeply humanist, exploration of this highly politicized issue.Director John C. Walsh, who was drawn to the richness of the play, has remained faithful to its spareness, yet brought a new dimension to the work. Walsh notes: "I didn't want to get in the way of the characters with distracting flourishes. The play was a gem, so it was really about pursuing a restrained visual style." By choosing to film in an actual abandoned Armory, the filmmakers found a real life setting for the characters that is natural, cinematic and, crucially, has great resonance with the film's subject.Marc Wolf adds “DON'T ASK DON'T TELL has always been, and will always be, about Silence. In the late 1990s, I interviewed military personnel who were silenced by our federal government because of their sexual orientation, and my goal is to tell their stories to as many people as possible. With the imminent fall of the policy, DON'T ASK DON'T TELL becomes the story of the struggle to break the Silence.” R (USA) Braindead, released as Dead Alive in North America, is a 1992 New Zealand zombie exploitation film co-written and directed by Peter Jackson.

PG (USA) Cool It is a 2010 documentary film written by Terry Botwick, Sarah Gibson, Ondi Timoner and directed by Ondi Timoner. "Bjorn Lomborg is a provocative contrarian. He won unusual prominence for a Danish academic by writing The Skeptical Environmentalist, an international bestseller that questioned assumptions about environmental decline. Many critics weighed in harshly, asserting that Lomborg’s credentials as a political scientist didn’t make him an expert on environmental science. But Lomborg stood his ground, amassed data to counterattack and became a voice to be reckoned with. As an openly gay vegetarian who often challenges liberal doctrine, he remains hard to pigeonhole politically. In Cool It, he enters the contentious debate over global warming, amplifying points that he raised in a book of the same title. Lomborg doesn’t deny that climate change is occurring, but he believes activists need fresh responses. He takes issue with Al Gore and finds fault with prevailing strategies to control carbon emissions. Focusing on the world’s growing energy needs, Lomborg tours laboratories of future technologies such as water splitting, algae fuel and wave energy. He also raises the possibility to mitigate climate change through geo-engineering with experimental techniques such as cloud brightening. Whether you accept his views or not, the film brings a heady sense of urgency to confronting a global crisis. Director Ondi Timoner has proven herself a versatile filmmaker with larger-than-life characters in DIG!, about a rock and roll rivalry, and We Live in Public, about an Internet visionary. Both films won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. In Cool It, she briskly covers extensive territory, delving into Lomborg’s background as a Green Peace loyalist turned dissident, and detailing the free speech fight that nearly destroyed his career. She synthesizes Lomborg’s ideas with punchy visuals and includes testimony from his opponents, including Stephen Schneider, the Stanford University climatologist who recently died. Firing off ideas like a tennis ball machine, Lomborg comes across as eager for debate. This film should give him plenty more occasions to engage." Quoting Thom Powers from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival site.

Whatever this Times-produced, TV-ready tribute lacks in tension is amply compensated by the pleasure of watching an enthusiast ply the craft he loves." Quoting Ronnie Sheib in Variety.

PG (USA) What's Up, Tiger Lily? is a 1966 comedy film directed by Woody Allen in his feature-length directorial debut. Allen took a Japanese spy film, International Secret Police: Key of Keys, and overdubbed it with completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original film. By putting in new scenes and rearranging the order of existing scenes, he completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about the search for the world's best egg salad recipe. During post-production, Allen's original one-hour television version was expanded without his permission to include additional scenes from International Secret Police: A Barrel of Gunpowder, the third film in the International Secret Police series, and musical numbers by the band the Lovin' Spoonful. This experience helped convince Allen that he should secure creative control for all his future projects. The band released a soundtrack album. Louise Lasser, who was married to Allen at the time, served as one of the voice actors for the "new" dialogue soundtrack, as did Mickey Rose, Allen's writing partner on Take The Money and Run and Bananas.

R (USA) Original title: Il paese del sesso selvaggio, better known as Man From Deep River in North America or Deep River Savages in Europe, is a 1972 Italian exploitation film directed by Umberto Lenzi. It is perhaps best known for popularizing the cannibal genre of Italian exploitation cinema during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

G "On 10 September, 1964, Germany’s one-millionth ‘guest worker’ was welcomed. Spanning a period of no less than forty-five years, this film by sisters Yasemin Samdereli (director) and Nesrin Samdereli (screenplay) tells the story of guest worker number one-million-and-one – a man named Hüseyin Yilmaz and his family. ‘Who or what am I – German or Turk?’ asks six-year-old Cenk Yilmaz when neither his Turkish nor his German schoolmates pick him for their respective football teams. In an attempt to comfort Cenk, his 22-year-old cousin Canan tells him the story of their grandfather Hüseyin, who came to Germany at the end of the sixties as a ‘guest worker’ and who later brought his wife and children to ‘Almanya’. Germany had long since become the family’s home when without warning one night, Hüseyin surprises his loved ones with the news that he has bough a house in Turkey and now wants to return to the old country. Refusing to brook the slightest opposition, the entire family set off for Turkey. This marks the beginning of a journey full of memories, arguments and reconciliations – until, that is, the family trip takes an unexpected turn … The young filmmakers have plundered their own memories of childhood and youth for this, their cinematic debut. Yasemin Samdereli: “Even at an early age, we were always struck by the way people found it amusing whenever we told them stories about our childhood: that Nesrin for instance once played German carnival figure ‘Funkenmariechen’ and used to belt out Catholic hymns fervently during mass. Or that I used to play the flute in a marching band and wrote my name Jasmin – until my second grade teacher torpedoed my attempts to hoodwink her.”" Quoting the description from the 2011 Berlin International Film Festival site.

G Keep Your Right Up is a 1987 film, written, directed by, and starring French Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. Soigne ta droite is a phrase from boxing - a trainer's call to "keep your right up". The immediate reference is to Jacques Tati's first short film, Soigne ton gauche. But this is neither a comedy in the classical sense, nor a film about boxing. Godard describes it as "the camera versus landscapes over 17 rounds". It may also be described as a film which does a two-way travel between sky and earth, between comic and experimental, between shadow and light. With humour and multiplying literary references and citations, Godard question himself on life and thus on death, within his kaleidoscope of images. This engaging film, which mixes genres, goes through the shadowy sky of the history of cinema a luminous way.

PG (USA) It's a Gift is a 1934 comedy film starring W. C. Fields, considered by film historians to be one of Fields' best and funniest films. It was Fields's sixteenth sound film, and his fifth in 1934 alone. It was directed by Norman McLeod, who had directed Fields in his cameo as Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland, 1933. It concerns the trials and tribulations of a grocery store owner as he battles a shrewish wife, an incompetent assistant, and assorted annoying children, customers, and salesmen. The film contains certain routines, reprised having been honed, that Fields had developed 1915-1925. Fields often tried to recapture on film original sketches that had been the basis of his stage success. Thus 'The Picnic', 'A Joy Ride' and most famously, 'The Back Porch', all become segments of Its a Gift. Lesser known than some of Fields' later works such as The Bank Dick, the film is perhaps the best example of the recurring theme of the Everyman battling against his domestic entrapment. Historians and critics have often cited its numerous memorable comic moments. It is one of several Paramount Pictures in which Fields contended with child actor Baby LeRoy.

It stars Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, and Richard Crenna. Delon had previously worked with Melville on 'Le Samourai' and 'Le Cercle Rouge' playing the role of an underground criminal. In 'Un Flic' however, Delon's role was reversed. He plays the cop, Edouard Coleman, this time in pursuit of Simon, a notorious Paris thief, who is very hard to pin down. Delon's character in 'Un Flic', perhaps in part borrowing from 'Maigret' detective, shifts between respected police commissioner and an ashamed assassin, whose main motivation descends toward pride. At the end to the film, Coleman turns his head away from Simon as he falls helplessly to the street side on an early Paris morning, then looks around the empty streets to see who has witnessed the 'crime' of his police duties. For its subtlety and obscure contribution to the film noir catalogue, 'Un Flic' ranks among the best, although it is acquired viewing for those ensconced in the genre. Coleman becomes one of Delon's most masterly performances.

R (USA) An urban fairy tale-romantic comedy, in which Nola (Emmy Rossum), an aspiring songwriter, leaves an abusive Kansas home and journeys to New York to find her biological father. Once there, she finds more than she expected. R (USA) "The degree to which Wendy and Lucy slowly-but-surely grows on the viewer is nothing short of astounding, as the movie suffers from an opening half hour that's almost mind-numbing in its uneventfulness. Michelle Williams stars as Wendy, a downtrodden young woman who's heading to Alaska in search of work accompanied by her dog Lucy - with the pair's journey interrupted by an unfortunate series of events in Oregon that culminate in Lucy's disappearance. There's not a whole lot more to the story than that; director and co-screenwriter Kelly Reichardt generally places the emphasis on sequences of Wendy looking for Lucy, with the monotony of the character's pursuit periodically broken by her encounters with a series of off-kilter yet surprisingly memorable figures (Wally Dalton's unnamed security guard surely ranks high among the film's supporting characters). The film's turning point comes with an expectedly idiosyncratic turn from Will Patton as a sympathetic mechanic, as the actor effectively pulls the viewer into the proceedings and it subsequently becomes difficult not to sympathize with Wendy's increasingly desperate efforts at tracking down her beloved pooch. Williams' quietly spellbinding performance certainly plays a significant role in the film's ultimate success, and while it's admittedly not too difficult to guess at where all this is going, Wendy and Lucy's lower-than-low-key sensibilities ensure that one inevitably winds up with an unexpectedly strong attachment towards both central characters."

PG (USA) Neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night...can keep these hoops junkies off the asphalt courts. MORE THAN A GAME is a rollicking and oft-times heartbreaking account of Chicago playground basketball. Featuring NBA stars, local legends and everyday players, MTAG makes for a fascinating companion to Hoop Dreams, which was released that same year.Over the course of three years, filmmakers Joe Angio and Joel Cohen traversed Chicago's playgrounds to find out why so many people - primarily black inner-city dwellers - devoted their lives to basketball. At the time of the film's release, more NBA players came from Chicago than anywhere else; here, we hear from three of the best. Phoenix Suns all-star forward Eddie Johnson recalls how the playground helped him to steer clear of the notorious street gangs that seduced his older brother, a far superior basketball player. Former Utah Jazz all-star guard Rickey Green returns with two childhood friends to the South Side court where they competed against Arthur "the Magician" Sybills, who they all agree is the greatest player they ever saw. Future Atlanta Hawks all-star Glenn "Doc" Rivers - who would go on to coach the Boston Celtics to an NBA title - recounts a particularly transcendent playground game that he still considers the best he's ever played in.Of course, only a select few graduate from the playgrounds to the NBA. More than a Game also reveals the stories of those who didn't make it. To this day, Bernard Harden believes "no one man can stop me," but his NBA dream ended in the minor leagues of Argentina. His bravado barely masks a lingering bitterness. As a high school sophomore in Chicago's highly competitive Public School League, Terry Rucker averaged 40 points a game. He never finished high school. Lamaar "Money" Mondane's NBA dream never came true either, but he at least achieved a modicum of fame when Reebok selected him to appear in a popular advertising campaign on "playground legends." All three continue to compete on the tiny West Side play lot of their youth.And then there are the games themselves, hard-fought and competitive. One player crashes recklessly, headfirst, into a steel support to save a loose ball. A skinny teen soars to slam home a spectacular dunk, a play worthy of any SportsCenter highlight reel. An argument threatens to erupt into chaos when two players refuse to give ground on a foul call (the instant replay proves inconclusive). Witnessing this passion and intensity we begin to understand why the game is so important to countless players, young and old. Why, in fact, it is MORE THAN A GAME.

Mondo Cannibale is considered even by Franco himself to be the worst cannibal film ever made, due to its slow pacing, bad acting, terrible special effects and awful camera work. An uncut DVD was released by Blue Underground. The DVD features an interview with Jesús Franco and the French theatrical trailer. Franco said in the interview that he only did the two cannibal films for the money, and admitted he had no idea why anyone would want to watch them. He said that Sabrina Siani was the worst actress he ever worked with in his life and that Siani's only good quality was her "delectable derrière", which he shows off to good effect in this film. The film shares a significant amount of footage with the 1981 film Cannibal Terror. While many sources suggest that Franco's footage was "borrowed" for Cannibal Terror, a closer examination reveals that there are more connections than this between the two films.

R (USA) Ong Bak 2: The Beginning is a 2008 Thai martial arts film co-directed by and starring Tony Jaa. It is a follow-up to Jaa's 2003 breakout film Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. Initially claimed to be a sequel to Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Ong Bak 2 was then announced to be a prequel to its predecessor. Unlike its predecessor however, which had a contemporary and realistic setting, Ong Bak 2 is actually set in 15th century Thailand and as such, could be described as a historical epic with elements of fantasy combined, and has nothing to do with the original Ong-Bak. Ong Bak 2 also has nothing to do with Jaa's 2005 film Tom-Yum-Goong, which was sometimes incorrectly labelled Ong Bak 2 in the West, as well as The Protector and The Warrior King. Tom-Yum-Goong had a contemporary setting similar to Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, although it too had different characters and plot. Jaa's films had yet to tie into each other, although Jaa had claimed they would do so with the release of Ong Bak 3 in 2010, which they did. As well as the different historical setting to Jaa's previous films, Ong Bak 2 has taken a notably grittier and bloodier direction.

While based on historic events of the 1923 Rosewood massacre in Florida, when a white mob killed blacks and destroyed their town, the film introduces fictional characters and changes from historic accounts.

Soderbergh refused and proposed the script to other major Hollywood studios, but it was rejected because of the three-hour running time and the subject matter — Traffic is more of a political film than most Hollywood productions. USA Films, however, liked the project from the start and offered the film-makers more money than Fox. Soderbergh operated the camera himself and adopted a distinctive cinematography tint for each story so that audiences could tell them apart.

Howard went to great lengths to create a technically accurate movie, employing NASA's technical assistance in astronaut and flight controller training for his cast, and even obtaining permission to film scenes aboard a reduced gravity aircraft for realistic depiction of the "weightlessness" experienced by the astronauts in space.

R (USA) Crash is a 2004 crime drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Paul Haggis. The film is about racial and social tensions in Los Angeles, California. A self-described "passion piece" for Haggis, Crash was inspired by a real-life incident, in which his Porsche was carjacked outside a video store on Wilshire Boulevard in 1991. Several characters' stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles: a black detective estranged from his mother; his criminal younger brother and gang associate; the white district attorney and his irritated, pampered wife; a racist white police officer who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner; an African American Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the officer; a Persian-immigrant father who is wary of others; and a hard-working Hispanic family man, a locksmith. The film differs from many other films about racism in its rather impartial approach to the issue. Rather than separating the characters into victims and offenders, victims of racism are often shown to be racist themselves in different contexts and situations.

Nina is overwhelmed by a feeling of immense pressure when she finds herself competing for the part, causing her to lose her tenuous grip on reality and descend into a living nightmare. Aronofsky conceived the premise by connecting his viewings of a production of Swan Lake with an unrealized screenplay about understudies and the notion of being haunted by a double, similar to the folklore surrounding doppelgängers.

PG-13 (USA) In Love and War is a 1996 romance drama film based on the book, Hemingway in Love and War by Henry S. Villard and James Nagel, starring Sandra Bullock, Chris O'Donnell, Mackenzie Astin, and Margot Steinberg. This film takes place during World War I, and is based on the World War I experiences of the writer Ernest Hemingway. It was directed by Richard Attenborough. The film was entered into the 47th Berlin International Film Festival. This film is largely based on Ernest Hemingway's real experience in World War I as a young soldier in Italy. He was wounded and sent to military hospital where he shared a room with Villard and they were nursed by Agnes von Kurowsky. Hemingway and von Kurowsky fell strongly in love but somehow the relationship didn't work out. The film—apparently in a deliberate attempt to capture what the director called Hemingway's "emotional intensity"—takes liberties with the facts. In real life, unlike the movie, the relationship was probably never consummated, and the couple did not meet again after Hemingway left Italy.

PG-13 (USA) Irish Jam is a 2006 comedy film starring Eddie Griffin. The plot centred on an African American who wins an Irish public house in a raffle, and has to save the village from the clutches of an evil landlord. Despite the bulk of the film being set in Ireland it was not filmed there, nor were the actors Irish, but English. The film was poorly received in the UK. In its review of the DVD release, Empire called it a "worst possible Eddie Murphy knock-off" and questioned why would Ireland still have had an evil aristocratic English landlord in 2006, noting it was filmed in Cornwall because, presumably, any attempts to mount stereotypes this broad, in Ireland, would have seriously offended the people of Ireland. The worst reviews and popularity of all were in fact in Ireland. Many Irish critics and viewers disapproved of the movie because it portrayed the Irish people inaccurately as "old, white, unintelligent, with no fashion sense of any kind". The film also presented Ireland as unadvanced in technology and architecture. One critic said, "Ireland hasn't looked like this in a hundred years, not since the Great Famine."

Like most of Guy Maddin's films, The Saddest Music in the World is filmed in a style that imitates late 1920s and early 1930s cinema, with grainy black-and-white photography, slightly out-of-sync sound and expressionist art design.

Former Max Headroom star Matt Frewer replaces Jeff Fahey in the title role of Jobe, the mentally challenged gardener transformed into a brilliant, computerized megalomaniac by a series of virtual reality experiments. Though destroyed at the end of the first film, Jobe finds a way to return to digital life, and he sets out in search of an important computer chip that will grant him frightening levels of power. A group of young hackers, led by Peter (Austin O'Brien), discovers this nefarious scheme and turns to retired virtual reality pioneer Ben Trace (Patrick Bergin) for help. Chase scenes and gunfights follow, both in the virtual world and the real world, as Trace and the boys try to figure out how to defeat Jobe. Despite a more blatantly futuristic setting, the sequel's special effects fail to match the standards of the first film, and the confused storyline proves more illogical than suspenseful, limiting the film's appeal to die-hard genre aficionados. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide.

R (USA) Heckler is a 2007 documentary film about hecklers. The film begins with an examination of the means, methods, and motives of hecklers and their effect on live performances, particularly stand up comedy. A common observation by professional comics is that hecklers can be categorized in two groups: those who want to participate and sincerely believe they're helping the comedian, and those who intend to disrupt the comedian. Several male comedians suggest that female hecklers are often motivated by a desire to flirt with the performer. Subsequently, the film segues into a longer examination of film and music critics, including their effect on performers. The documentary suggests that most critics are motivated by frustrated artistic ambitions, and are no better than hecklers given that internet criticism has emboldened critics to engage in vicious personal attacks rather than critiques of artists' work. The film is hosted by actor/comedian Jamie Kennedy, who was inspired to create the movie after feeling wounded by the overwhelmingly negative reviews for his movie Son of the Mask, some of which attacked Kennedy personally rather than reviewing the film.

PG-13 (USA) "The freshness of Marc Webb’s love-me/love-me-not love story is epitomized by its perfectly framed tag lines…Boy meets Girl—Boy falls in love—Girl doesn’t. What else can you say about a postmodern love story? Not only is this delightfully surprising dissection of a romance structured so that it catches us continually off guard, but the classic tale of love unrequited is turned as topsy-turvy as a Shakespearian farce. Directed with verve, pace, and confidence by first-time filmmaker Webb and replete with Los Angeles settings that are distinctive and interesting, 500 Days of Summer never descends into ordinary romance. The typical premise of the love story—that we want what we can’t have—is fueled by a role reversal (it’s the woman who doesn’t want to commit) and energized by dance numbers, split screens, and two dynamic performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. That Tom, a hapless greeting-card copywriter, and the alluring Summer, his temporary office mate, fluctuate between the highs and lows of infatuation, dating, sex, and separation is the conventional aspect of an unconventional tale of self-discovery and relationships. For a new generation of storytellers, 500 Days of Summer is destined to be a template for the future of romantic inspiration." Quoting the description from the 2009 Sundance Film Festival site.

His wife (America Ferrera), his mother (Melissa Leo), and his friend (Jason Ritter) provide support, but they can’t fully understand the pain and suffering he feels since his tour of duty ended. Lonely, James reconnects with an army buddy (Wilmer Valderrama), who provides him with compassion and camaraderie during his battle to process his experiences in Iraq. But their reunion also exposes the different ways that war affects people—at least on the surface. This moving, taut story of redemption and reconstruction extends beyond a post traumatic-stress-disorder narrative. O’Nan is heartbreaking as he explores the depths of his internal struggle; Ferrera fearlessly tackles her role of a young wife in turmoil. The Dry Land is about one man’s fight within his own terrain—his country, home, and mind—and his journey to rebuild what he’s lost." Quoting the description from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival site.

One such couple is composed of Spencer Jones and Tyler Barrick, who is the direct descendant of Mormon polygamist Frederick G. Williams.

Enlisting stickers, stencils, posters, and sculpture and spread by the burgeoning Internet, it would be labeled “street art” and establish itself as the most significant counterculture movement of a generation. Los Angeles–based filmmaker Terry Guetta set out to record this secretive world in all its thrilling detail. For more than eight years, he traveled with the pack, roaming the streets of America and Europe, the stealthy witness of the world’s most infamous vandals. But after meeting the British stencil artist known only as “Banksy,” things took a bizarre turn. Sundance has shown films by unknown artists but never an anonymous one. Banksy turns the tables on the only man who has ever filmed him, creating a remarkable documentary that is part personal journey and part an exposé of the art world with its mind-altering mix of hot air and hype. In the end, Exit Through the Gift Shop is an amazing ride, a cautionary modern fairy tale . . . with bolt cutters." Quoting the description from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival site.

"For Ashes of Time, Wong Kar-wai swapped the conventions of the wuxia genre for his beloved theme of love and loss. The film can also be regarded as a wuxia version of Days of Being Wild. For Ashes of Time Redux, the whole film was put back in the post-production mill with a result that appeals to ear and eye. Although sometimes described as Wong Kar Wai's adaptation of the Jin Yong novel Legend of the Condor Heroes, it would probably be more accurate to call Ashes of Time the wuxia version of Days of Being Wild. Despite marking his first venture into wuxia, Ashes of Time saw Wong disregard the conventions of the genre in favour of probing into the lives of the three heroes, drawing out sentimental themes of love and loss. The use of voice over driving multiple plot lines, the monologue quality of the dialogues, the baroque quality of its music and the self-conscious lyricism of its images have all added to the defamiliarisation of wuxia conventions. Although the three major battle scenes are choreographed differently, each one does away with the traditional wuxia conventions of movements and battle arrays. Without a doubt, Ashes of Time is an auteur film that shows the wuxia genre in a whole new light." Quoting the description from the 2011 International Film Festival Rotterdam site.

PG (USA) "Set amid an unspecified African civil war, Claire Denis’ White Material is, like her Beau Travail (NYFF 1999), a riveting mosaic of sight and sound, fusing memory and experience, kindness and despair. Denis, who was raised in colonial Africa, sets several narratives in motion to create a searing portrait of a world gone mad. The ever fearless Isabelle Huppert plays a coffee planter whose business and family exemplify an earlier era; she struggles to make sense of what she knew, finding that nothing remains—or is as it seems. Isaach De Bankole appears as a rebel leader whose position has been superseded by a new, crueler generation of armed youth. Denis offers neither apologies nor analysis; instead, with extraordinarily visceral filmmaking, she captures the violence of pent-up rage bursting forth to turn a society upside down."

PG (USA) "The cinema's most senior filmmaker, Manoel de Oliveira, brings us this deceptively simple, perfectly set gem. Eccentricities of a Blond Hair Girl is based on a short story by José Maria de Eça de Queiroz, the renowned nineteenth-century author often regarded as the Flaubert of Portugal. While on a train bound for the Algarve, a beleaguered man (de Oliveira's grandson and regular lead, Ricardo Trêpa) recounts his troubles to his sympathetic neighbour (Leonor Silveira). He is Macário, a former Lisbon accountant who worked for his uncle's shop and fell madly in love with Luisa (Catarina Wallenstein), the titular blond-haired beauty who lived across the street from his office window. Every day he would spy on her as she coquettishly waved her Chinese fan. When his uncle discouraged him from pursuing the relationship, Macário decamped for Cape Verde, where he could make enough money to ask for Luisa's hand. But an unexpected twist intervenes, and de Oliveira's detached irony, whimsical characters and anachronistic storytelling turn this miniature morality tale into another of his lasting accounts of thwarted love. Superbly shot, Eccentricities is also a celebration of Portuguese artists. The film's many references to painting and literature add rich textures to the luscious drawing rooms where the characters gather. The only music in the film is a piece played by Ana Paula Miranda on the harp as celebrated actor Luis Miguel Cintra reads a poem in a nod to Portugal's cultural tradition. By turns entertaining and enlightening, de Oliveira's new film displays an incredible youthfulness belying his one hundred years." Quoting Diana Sanchez and Andréa Picard.

Many of his countrymen might have considered this a great honor, but it was merely the beginning of a hellish nightmare for Latif. Under the constant threat of harm to his family, he had no choice but to play the role of silent witness while his nefarious captor indulged in countless brutal and depraved fantasies with no regard for human life. In a brilliant turn, Dominic Cooper portrays both Uday and Latif with impressive ease, transitioning seamlessly between the personae of ruthless madman and disgusted observer.

R (USA) "Featuring a riveting performance by the gifted Ashley Judd and infused with intelligence and detail by Sandra Nettelbeck, a storyteller who clearly knows intimately the parameters of this universe, Helen transcends the usual limitations that besiege portraits of mental illness and depression. In truth, for all that we’ve learned about depression—its causes, its cures, and the breadth of its affliction—the old clichés and stigmas still dominate our tales and popular culture. What Nettelbeck and her colleagues have accomplished is an unapologetically moving examination that offers no simplistic answers and refrains from reductively singular happy endings.Helen focuses on a woman with an apparently perfect life: a successful academic, she seems happily married with a wonderful daughter. But we witness a sudden breakdown and a journey that is enigmatic and heartbreakingly real. When solutions prove elusive and Helen is hospitalized, she forges a relationship with Mathilda, a fellow traveler who both aids and traumatizes her life’s course. When death seems the only answer, and the safe haven of family gives no respite, the pain of bipolarity is exhausting and overwhelming. Told with poignancy and insight—and ultimately concluding with as much courage as inevitable sadness—Helen is the work of artists whose craft and sensibility are special." Quoting the description from the 2009 Sundance film festival site.

PG-13 (USA) "It’s 1983, and Skateland, the roller rink and local hangout of a small town, is becoming a fading memory of an earlier time, when disco and roller-skating were king. The party scene is getting stale, and 19-year-old Ritchie's romantic life is as cloudy as his future. He struggles to make sense of it all, and decisions do not come easily to the carefree young man. When tragedy strikes his friends and family, Ritchie must face the music—and make the biggest decision of his life. Without the benefit of a studio budget or name casting, Anthony Burns and Brandon Freeman capture the '80s in startling detail. The result: a cinematic scrapbook of a time and place, a visceral visual, and an aural experience that reclaims the decade for those of us lucky enough to have lived through it once. While the atmosphere is time specific, the themes of the joys and pains of growing up are universal." Quoting the description from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival site.

The music score is composed by Alan Silvestri. PG (USA) "Computers, software, and even mobile phones have radically altered our relationship to mass culture and technology—providing consumers with the tools to become producers (or “remixers”) of their media environments. Long before everyday people began posting their video mash-ups on the Web, hip-hop musicians perfected the art of audio montage through a sport they called “sampling.” While it is true that, for instance, most people can hear Rick James’ “Superfreak” in MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This,” this simplified example does little justice to the complex rhythms, references, and nuanced layers of sound created by Public Enemy, De La Soul, the Beastie Boys, and others in the 1980s. By the early 1990s, the practice of sampling collided headfirst with copyright law—fundamentally altering the nature of this musical genre, and provoking debates about copyright, compensation, and creativity in the age of intellectual property. Copyright Criminals: This Is a Sampling Sport examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and (of course) money. This documentary traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than thirty years, innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a “borrowed melody” became a “copyright infringement.” The film showcases many of hip-hop music’s founding figures like Public Enemy, De La Soul, and Digital Underground—while also featuring emerging artists such as audiovisual remixers Eclectic Method. It also provides an in-depth look at artists who have been sampled, such as Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown's drummer and the world's most sampled musician), as well as commentary by another highly sampled musician, funk legend George Clinton. Using first-person interviews with artists and music industry insiders, Copyright Criminals explains how some traditional musicians view sampling as a lazy creative technique that relied on pillaging the music of others. However, the practice of musical borrowing is by no means unique to hip-hop, and the film discusses what it means to make new compositions out of old melodies, lyrics, and sounds. “Sampling itself is an embodiment of this active process of engaging with history,” hip-hop insider Jeff Chang argues. Sampling artists drew on entire histories and biographies connected to certain sounds, whether they were referencing a specific figure like James Brown or evoking the sounds of a decade like the 1970s, more generally. “That’s what’s cool about sampling,” says Drew Daniel, of the sound collage group Matmos. “It transports the listener, if they’re willing, to move in that pathway, back to a specific moment in time.”" Quoting the synopsis on the 2009 TIFF site R (USA) Get Shorty is a 1995 crime-comedy-thriller film based on Elmore Leonard's novel of the same name.

G "Until now, German director Fatih Akin has been known for hard-hitting, streetwise movies that only occasionally take a moment to swoon into lyricism. Mostly, films like Head-On and The Edge of Heaven are bracing and resolutely real. Well, Akin's mood must have brightened this year, because while Soul Kitchen is directed with as much strength and confidence as ever, it's a loose-limbed, house party of a comedy. Zinos Kazantzakis (Adam Bousdoukos) runs Soul Kitchen, a vast warehouse diner where the food might be spectacularly bad, but it's edible. Regulars show up every day to chow down on bland lumps of carbs washed down by cheap beer. Beats sitting at home. Zinos seems to have a knack for bad luck, but he's used to it. His girlfriend flies off to China for an extended stay. His brother (Moritz Bleibtreu) finally gets out of jail and drags all of Hamburg's trouble into the restaurant. Then the sour-faced tax collector shows up. What would happen if Zinos went looking for the city's biggest rock-star chef (the ferocious Birol Ünel from Head-On) in a bid to save his restaurant and shake things up? Akin sets his story in motion and lets the players dance, fuelled by a sweet, thumping soundtrack of great soul music. The chef whips up wonders from the most humble ingredients, shocking the regulars and seducing a whole new clientele. And once he slips some Peruvian tree-bark aphrodisiac into the dessert, everything changes. A full-on bacchanalian party breaks out, and that tax collector turns out to be a lot more flexible with receipts than she first appeared. Soul Kitchen is casually cool and loads of fun to watch. By the time the inimitable Udo Kier shows up, villainously chomping on dinner mints, you know this movie's heart is in the right place. Backside, too."

We live in an age where it’s tough even to walk down the street without someone trying to sell you something. It’s at the point where practically the entire American experience is brought to us by some corporation. Utilizing cutting-edge tools of comic exploration and total self-exploitation, Spurlock dissects the world of advertising and marketing by using his personal integrity as currency to sell out to the highest bidder.

The character of Gekko is said to be a composite of several people, including Owen Morrisey, Dennis Levine, Ivan Boesky, Carl Icahn, Asher Edelman, Michael Ovitz, Michael Milken, and Stone himself. The character of Sir Lawrence Wildman, meanwhile, was modeled on the prominent British financier and corporate raider Sir James Goldsmith. Originally, the studio wanted Warren Beatty to play Gekko, but he was not interested; Stone, meanwhile, wanted Richard Gere, but Gere passed on the role. Stone went with Douglas even though he had been advised by others in Hollywood not to cast him. The film was well received among major film critics, including Roger Ebert.

R (USA) The Ballad of Cable Hogue is a 1970 Western film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Jason Robards, Stella Stevens and David Warner. Set in the Arizona desert during a period when the frontier was closing, the film follows three years in the life of a failed prospector. While unmistakably a Western, the movie is quite unconventional for the genre and for the director. It contains only a few brief scenes of violence and gunplay, relying more on a subtly crafted story that could better be characterized as comedic in nature. G "Probably the best ninja movie ever made, Yoichi Sai's adaptation from the legendary manga blends folk-tale, action fantasy and parable; with hot young star Kenichi Matsuyama as the hero. There hasn't been a decent ninja movie for decades, but Yoichi Sai's adaptation of a story from Sanpei Shirato's legendary, multi-volume manga Kamui bestrides the entire genre: this is probably the best ninja movie ever made. Ninja are all about secret servitude, quasi-magical martial-arts skills and issues of loyalty, betrayal and vengeance. Kamui delivers all of the above, minus the history lessons that are too often part of the deal. The Korean-Japanese director (current chair of the Directors' Guild of Japan) treats the story as a folk-tale, complete with the grizzled voice of Tsutomu Yamazaki as narrator. It's a kind of parable: Kamui (played by new star Kenichi Matsuyama, also in Bare Essence of Life) has escaped rural poverty and family ties by becoming a ninja, but now wants a kind of freedom not permitted in feudal Japan, the freedom to live his own life. The plot finds him in an area controlled by the corrupt and effete Lord Gunbei, allying himself with the fisherman Hanbei and his family and then all but press-ganged into a band of shark hunters. Treachery and triple-bluffs on all sides, and Kamui himself is often the prey...

PG (USA) "Striking a perfect balance between the vague, distant memories of childhood and the accuracy of a rigorous script, Ounie Lecomte makes her directorial debut with A Brand New Life, a remarkable film that has the pace and the humility of a precocious masterpiece. Lecomte's warm approach to directing envelops this bare, ascetic story of an abandoned youth with a sincerity that is as genuine as it is devastatingly moving. Inspired by the time Lecomte spent in a Seoul orphanage run by Catholic nuns, before being adopted by a French family, the film records a formative time in the life of a little girl with insight and austere realism. A brand new pair of shoes shines on the feet of nine-year-old Jinhee (Kim Sae-ron). Thrilled with the unexpected gift, she holds her father tightly from the rear seat of his bicycle, not wanting to let go of her cosy, sudden joy. This exceptional day calls for celebration and makes Jinhee feel like singing a song as she toasts her father, sipping soju for the first time in her life. Little does she know that those shiny shoes are destined to walk her into a new life, one she might not want but will have to learn to accept. Sure enough, the next day Jinhee will be taken to an orphanage and unceremoniously abandoned there in the hope somebody will adopt her, leaving her father free to form a new family. Produced by renowned novelist and master of Korean cinema Lee Chang-dong, A Brand New Life is endowed with striking intensity and effortless sincerity. The narrative and dramatic appeal find an appropriate visual translation under the intimate yet assured direction of Lecomte, and the child actors deliver excellent performances. Kim's powerful ability to portray a vast range of emotions is going to be hard to forget. From her luminous happiness in the beginning of the film to the darker disbelief and overwhelming sadness of her days at the orphanage, her stern little figure will dwell in the audience's consciousness for a long time." Quoting Giovanna Fulvi. R (USA) Darkman is a 1990 American superhero action film directed and co-written by Sam Raimi.

PG-13 (USA) "James Strouse, who brought Grace Is Gone to Sundance in 2007, where it won the dramatic Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, once again displays his talent for storytelling—and his deft touch as a director—in this superbly wrought tale, The Winning Season. Sam Rockwell stars as an alcoholic ex-basketball star who is currently occupied busing tables. When he is handed the reins of a girl's varsity team by the school's principal, what ensues is tempestuous and trying for all concerned. The course of this wonderfully heartfelt drama is both unexpected and full of the kind of rich oh-so-human moments that marked Strouse's earlier work; the result is a completely gratifying cinematic drama. The battles to be won or lost—of a coach and his team, of a father and a daughter, and of a man struggling with his demons-are complicated by the mundane, yet real, dilemmas of life. This seemingly ordinary basketball drama resonates with wit and truth, attitude and sharp dialogue, and perfectly toned performances. Rockwell is spot on with his depiction of the scruffy, conflicted coach/father/teacher, and Strouse's work is full of humor and poignancy, insight and fun. Strouse is a director who transforms the unexceptional into wry dialogues about our humanity. His effectiveness as a filmmaker marks him as one of the most talented of a new generation of American independents." Quoting the description from the 2009 Sundance Film Festival site.

Annette Bening co-stars as Lester's materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane. Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper, and Allison Janney also feature. The film has been described by academics as a satire of American middle class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; analysis has focused on the film's explorations of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, self-liberation, and redemption. Ball began writing American Beauty as a play in the early 1990s, partly inspired by the media circus around the Amy Fisher trial in 1992. He shelved the play after realizing the story would not work on stage. After several years as a television screenwriter, Ball revived the idea in 1997 when attempting to break into the film industry. The modified script had a cynical outlook that was influenced by Ball's frustrating tenures writing for several sitcoms.

R (USA) "Filmmakers have explored the subject of school shootings in the past, but first-time feature director Shawn Ku finds a unique perspective on this delicate issue. Rather than focusing on the tragic incident and the events leading up to it, Beautiful Boy confronts its devastating aftermath. Moreover, the killer is almost entirely absent throughout the film. In his place, we look through the eyes of his parents, who struggle to find refuge from the public and from media backlash, while overcoming their own sudden loss. In two of the most heartrending performances in recent memory, Maria Bello and Michael Sheen play parents in a rocky marriage who are hit with the shocking news that their eighteen-year-old son has committed a mass shooting at his college before taking his own life. With a maturity and comprehension beyond his years, Ku (who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Armbruster) shows remarkable insight into two middle-aged parents faced with unspeakable anguish. Separated from the rest of the world by this incomprehensible act, they find their marital troubles gradually taking a back seat to the traumatic situation thrust upon them. Credit must also go to the film’s stellar supporting cast, who add further weight to this difficult story. Moon Bloodgood, Alan Tudyk and Meat Loaf Aday are perfectly cast as bystanders to the slow-burning wreckage at hand. Beautiful Boy is fearless. It defies convention to shed light on something that many similarly topical films have shied away from. The result is a bleak yet rewarding experience that dares to challenge not only its audience, but also previous investigations of this dark subject."

Dreams do come true, kidsafter he mails in his carefully assembled demo video, an elegantly handwritten invitation from the Baron himself arrives and Walter is soon whisked off to Machotaildrop's hidden headquarters, an opulent chateau where Walter is feted as the next big thing in skating. But is this really a dream come true, or a nightmare about to unfold? What exactly motivates this charming yet perplexing Baron and his strange attendants? What are his plans vis-a-vis the Manwolfs, a pack of feral skater miscreants Walter discovers in an abandoned amusement park? Why is Walter's idol, Blair Stanley, so foul-humoured all the time? And what is truly happening in the cavernous bowels of the Machotaildrop compound? Skateboard culture certainly has its stack of motion-picture material, from endless indie rider videos through the incisive documentary DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS to the fairly ordinary sports dramas GRIND and THRASHIN'. But now, skate rats can claim their own fantastic filma sweet yet paranoid fairy-tale that blends the sympathetic quirkiness, clever understatement and exquisite visual polish of the post-millennial indie film wave with a bold surrealist sensibility echoing Fellini and Herzog as well as WILLY WONKA and THE PRISONER. MACHOTAILDROP aims first and foremost to amaze and amuse, and does so handily with its unusual characters and visual richesmuch of it was shot on the grounds of a stately manor outside Budapest, and production designer Jeffro Halliday's countless wise touches help the film look like it had a far greater budget (the kind that would never be laid out for such an off-the-wall oddball gem). But it also offers a few thoughts on youth and aging, innocent hopes and broken dreams, the simple pleasure of skateboarding for fun rather than profit and of course, the resonant power of Ape Snake!"

G "Accomplished and original, Castaway on the Moon is a fascinating love story by one of South Korea's most promising young filmmakers. Lee Hey-jun made his debut in 2006 as co-director of the hit comedy Like a Virgin,and he now reconfirms his witty talent and strong directorial skill. Kim Seong-geun (Jung Jae-young) has never learned to swim. When his girlfriend leaves him and debts feel insurmountable, jumping into the Han river seems the most logical way to commit suicide. But destiny has a very different plan. Coughing and spitting up polluted river water, he awakens washed ashore on what looks like a tropical beach but turns out just to be the small island of Bam at the centre of the river. Abandoning all suicidal intentions, Kim tries to attract the attention of passing tourist boats, but soon realizes that nobody will come to his aid. Slowly adjusting to life in the wilderness, with civilization so close yet so unreachable, he discovers the pleasures and agonies of nature. In one of the many high-rises facing the beach lives Kim Jeong-yeon (Jung Rye-won), a young woman who hasn't left her room in three years. Locked in the secluded island of her bedroom, she only makes contact with the external world via the Internet and her camera lens. From here, she can see the sign that our castaway has written on the sand – a gigantic “hello.” Intrigued by his curious greeting, she starts spying on the unusual man. Soon overcome by a pressing urge to communicate, she sends him a message in a bottle, in true castaway tradition. Addressing sensitive contemporary issues such as the economic recession and urban alienation, Lee ventures into new narrative territory that feels identifiable but is difficult to categorize. Bordering on various genres, the film lands in the strange cinematic terrain of romantic/social sci-fi. Pleasingly offbeat, Castaway on the Moon has a stimulating appeal and a novel approach to storytelling. This quirky love story is destined to amuse and entertain a wide audience."

He is also one of the most reviled figures in Peruvian political history. Inflicting pain and suffering on hundreds, Nestor fails to perceive the contradictions of using violence and cruelty as tools of social justice.The taking of the Residence is a direct attack on the Japanese born Peruvian President, Alberto Fujimori, who has claimed victory in his brutal campaign against Peru's insurgent groups. The MRTA has been all but wiped out. Hundreds of members, including Nestor's wife Nancy, languish in prison. Taking the Residence is Nestor's last-ditch effort to free them. For Fujimori it is a painful embarrassment. His response is uncompromising and fatal. What follows is devastating and bizarre.It is also a hundred and twenty six days in the lives of the hostages.

R (USA) For centuries, vampires have stayed in the dark, forced to hide each morning or else be destroyed by the burning power of the sun. But in Columbia Pictures' 30 Days of Night, based on the groundbreaking graphic novel, that's all about to change. Not your parents' vampires, these are eating machines, built for one purpose -- to devour human beings -- and only daylight can stop them... which is why they target the remote, isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, which each winter is plunged into a state of complete darkness that lasts 30 days. The cunning, bloodthirsty vampires, relishing in a month of free rein, are set to take advantage, feeding on the helpless residents. It is up to Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife, Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors to do anything and everything they can to last until daylight. ABOUT THE FILM 30 Days of Night began its journey to theaters with the publication of the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. The miniseries – just three books – became a career-defining moment for both. As they brought both a new look and a new story to the vampire legend, Niles’ and Templesmith’s work has been lauded as a revival of the horror comic. “We fell in love with the idea of vampires coming to Barrow, Alaska, once the sun has set for a month,” says producer Rob Tapert, who – with producer Sam Raimi – founded Ghost House Productions to bring this kind of story to the screen. “It was a project that got us excited because it delivers a level of intensity and stylized horror that, as a young guy, I loved in these kinds of movies and to this day I still enjoy. For Sam and me, 30 Days of Night is a return to our Evil Dead roots.” To direct, Raimi and Tapert tapped David Slade, whose first film, the independent Hard Candy, impressed them. “David has a style and way of working unique unto him,” Tapert says. “He has a very specific idea of what he wants and how he wants everything to be and then he finds a way to work this out with the actors. He is a believer in lots of tight shots, close-ups with attention to details, which frenetically ramp up his movie.” The director says that long before getting involved with 30 Days of Night, he had bought the first edition of the graphic novel. “I love Ben Templesmith’s artwork – especially the image of Eben looking out and seeing the vampires for the first time,” he says. “After I directed my first film, I had a meeting in which an executive at Columbia Pictures mentioned that they owned the property. I said, ‘Hang on a minute. I would chew off my arm to do that!’” The graphic novel is credited with reinvigorating the vampire genre. Though the creature dates back to Lord Byron in Western literature – and is many centuries older in other cultures – the vampire had, in Niles’ and Templesmith’s opinions, lost its horror. The authors saw 30 Days of Night as an opportunity to steer the genre back to its roots and away from the gothic, affected vampires that had taken over their favorite monsters. “One of the things Ben and I really wanted to do was make vampires scary again,” says Niles. “We’ve seen vampires made into Count Chocula. Teenage girls are dating them. These should be feral vampires that see humans as nothing more than something to feed on. And Ben took that ten steps further with the look of the book.” “I was going for pure savagery, with just a hint of alien,” says Templesmith. “The classic image of the vampire is the goth, romantic ponce. I wanted eating machines.” One of the filmmakers’ top goals was to bring the source material’s striking imagery to life. “I wanted the look of the film to be very close to Ben Templesmith’s artwork, which I very much liked,” Slade says. Templesmith says that the filmmakers achieved that vision. “Within reason, they’ve taken the look of the movie from the page. The color’s stripped back, the vampires look like the vampires in the book –... PG-13 (USA) The Red Canvas is a martial arts drama about a ruthless Mixed Martial Arts tournament.

Shot in Arizona, Night of the Lepus used domestic rabbits filmed against miniature models and actors dressed in rabbit costumes for the attack scenes.

A Horrible Way to Die showcases a young director at the top of his game helped along by an incisive script and a solid cast of familiar indie actors. Garrett Turrell is an infamous serial murderer, just escaped from prison. Like an alcoholic called to the bottle, Garrett cannot resist the compulsion to kill and uses his newfound freedom to blaze a path toward his penpal admirers on the outside, leaving a grisly trail of corpses in his wake. Speaking of alcoholics, we meet Sarah in the midst of an AA meeting. Sarah is a new in town, and hoping to forget her troubled past. Seeking to meet new people, she takes a chance with Kevin, a fellow former addict. Awkwardly charming, Sarah and Kevin seem to fumble toward an unlikely romance while Sarah's sketchy past threatens to derail all she's hoped to escape. It may not take much guessing to deduce that the skeletons in Sarah's closet involve Garrett, but when these parallel story lines intersect, they do so in the most unexpected of ways. The stellar cast infuse their characters with an all-too-plausible humanism for maximum emotional impact when everything goes sideways. Contrary to the gore-fest you may expect from the film's title, the violence sneaks up on you in short bursts, and is over before you even know it. As gruesome as the violence is at times, Wingard relies more on character development and unfolding the action at a very deliberate pace rather than relying on simple shock tactics. Indeed, Wingard's keen eye for detail and visual flair elevate A Horrible Way to Die from an above-average serial killer drama to high art. If you weren't already impressed with Wingard, you will be."

It is based on Tipton's own experience as the owner of a chain of videocassette rental stores in the 1980s. Tipton and his family had opened the first videocassette rental stores in St. Louis in 1980; their business was largely destroyed by a campaign of Christian fundamentalists who objected to the chain's carrying the film The Last Temptation of Christ for rental. The film won "Best Feature Film" awards at several film festivals. Critic Ryan Cracknell summarized the film, "There's no shortage of material for writer-director Ken Tipton to work with here. That alone makes Heart of the Beholder a film of interest. It is in many ways a politically charged film as it touches on issues of freedom of speech, religious beliefs and all out fanaticism. Still, I didn't think it was charged with enough balance and I think a large part had to do with the film's inconsistent pacing." R (USA) Black Moon is a 1975 French/West German avant-garde film directed by Louis Malle and starring Cathryn Harrison, Joe Dallesandro, Therese Giehse, and Alexandra Stewart.

The film is dedicated to Therese Giehse, who plays the character of The Old Lady, who died shortly after the end of the film.

R (USA) Stake Land is a 2010 horror film written by Nick Damici, Jim Mickle and directed by Jim Mickle. ""Ain't nuthin' out there but sundown and 'them.'" -Mister America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin (Connor Paolo) is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (Nick Damici) whose new prey are the undead. Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America’s heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path. Along the way they recruit fellow travellers, including a nun (Kelly McGillis) who is caught in a crisis of faith when her followers turn into ravenous beasts. This ragtag family unit cautiously moves north, avoiding major thoroughfares that have been seized by The Brethren, a fundamentalist militia that interprets the plague as the Lord’s work. Director Jim Mickle first grabbed the attention of horror film fans with his zombie-rat thriller Mulberry Street, in which Damici also starred and served as co-writer. They have teamed up again to deliver an even darker and bloodier shocker. Drawing on the post-apocalyptic frenzy described by Richard Matheson (author of the novel I Am Legend) and George Romero, Stake Land is a road movie with fangs, similar in its phantasmagoric journey to Gareth Edwards’s Monsters (also featured in this year’s Festival). With indie horror director Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) serving as producer, Stake Land excels in large part because of Fessenden’s choice to take bigger chances and make bolder choices in spite of budget limitations. Fessenden has been supportive of the new wave of indie American horror directors like Mickle, Ti West and J.T. Petty, who are making the most of their micro-budgets in ways that would stymie their Hollywood brethren. The story of a live boy in a dead world, Stake Land is a bloodcurdling mix of honest scares and gripping action." Quoting Colin Geddes from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival site. R (USA) Breaking Dawn is a 2004 independent American mystery-thriller written and directed by Mark Edwin Robinson.

R (USA) The Impostors is a 1998 farce motion picture directed, written and produced by Stanley Tucci, starring Oliver Platt, Tucci, Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Steve Buscemi, and Billy Connolly. The film, in which Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci play a Laurel and Hardy-like odd couple of out-of work actors, is set in the depression-era 1930s; indeed, the retro style of the film is a recreation of '30s screwball comedy. The opening silent sequence harks back to the golden days of silent film. Although the plotting is light, the film is a warm-hearted and charming tribute to the early days of film comedy, fuelled by the eclectic mix of characters, who all turn out to be impostors of some kind; but the very diversity of the ensemble turns out to be the film's central point. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. R (USA) Basic Instinct 2, is a 2006 erotic thriller film and the sequel to 1992's Basic Instinct.

The film is the first version of the novel to be made in color. It stars Mexican actor Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo and Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda. In the tradition of many sword and sandal spectacles, Quinn and Lollobrigida are the only two actors in the film who actually speak in English; the rest of the cast is made up of French actors who have had their voices dubbed into English. Anthony Quinn's portrayal of the hunchback Quasimodo is more human and less horrific than most other portrayals. Instead of having a huge hump and a hideously deformed face, he only has a small curve in his spine and a slightly deformed face. The film is one of the few adaptations to use Victor Hugo's original ending; although Esmeralda is killed by a stray arrow rather than hanged. Esmeralda's last words were: "Life is wonderful".

R (USA) "Kaja is an optimistic and easygoing housewife—despite her loneliness and the fact that her husband won’t have sex with her. When Elisabeth and Sigve, who seem like the perfect husband and wife, move in next door, Kaja is thrilled by their sophistication. They’re beautiful, they have an adopted black son, and in their spare time, they sing in a choir. An indiscreet moment between Kaja and Sigve ignites a full-on affair, but just as her sexual liberation comes within reach, the inevitable truths and secrets tumble out—perhaps for the best. Set in the dead of winter in the middle of nowhere, the locale of Happy, Happy is crucial to balancing the film as both sex comedy and drama. Director Anne Sewitsky allows her skilled actors to shine while dark humor, some flat-out hilarity, and tight storytelling drive this delightful look at the malleability and resilience of adult relationships."

PG-13 (USA) I Am is a 2010 documentary film directed by Tom Shadyac. "A true Hollywood insider with films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar, Liar, and Bruce Almighty (among others) on his directorial resume, Tom Shadyac found his life profoundly altered after a bicycle accident left him with post-concussion syndrome. A little understood malady, PCS frequently leads to long bouts of depression. It was no different with Shadyac, who found himself withdrawing from his glitzy life and questioning the meaning of his material success. The documentary I Am is the result of Shadyac’s re-shuffling of priorities. It is a fascinating, funny and deeply felt spiritual journey examining alternative ways of life that are at once grounded in the Utopian anti-materialist ideas of the 1960s and bolstered by the growing gray area where science and spirituality intersect. Controversial, maybe, but consistently interesting and with its heart in the right place, I Am is sure to generate a lot of post-screening discussion. And, short of changing the world for the better (which Shadyac is definitely trying to do), what more can one ask of a documentary?" Quoting the synopsis from the 2011 Palm Springs International Film Festival site.

Bellflower follows two friends who spend their time building flamethrowers and other weapons in the hope that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang, Mother Medusa, to reign supreme. While waiting for the destruction to commence, one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls in love—hard. Quickly integrating into a new group of friends, the pair set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, and extreme violence more devastating than any of their apocalyptic fantasies. With highly stylized photography and editing, Bellflower is an exhilarating, character-driven joyride. Fueling this narrative with fantastic imagery and extraordinary performances, writer/director/actor Glodell elevates the ordinary experiences of friendship and romance into the stuff of legend."

Stonewall stars Guillermo Díaz, Frederick Weller, Duane Boutte and Brendan Corbalis. Dwight Ewell and Luis Guzmán also make cameos. While the film is a work of fiction, Finch makes the unusual directorial choice of including documentary-style interview footage with several people who were at the Stonewall Inn during the uprising. Finch also intersperses lip synch numbers performed by the actors throughout the film to function as something of a Greek chorus.

R (USA) Blazing Stewardesses is a 1975 sex comedy film that reunited the last remaining members of the Ritz Brothers comedy team. Originally, the film was to have starred the Three Stooges featuring Moe Howard, Emil Sitka, and Curly Joe DeRita, but Howard's illness led to the Ritz Brothers being brought in as replacements for the March 1975 filming; Moe Howard died in early May 1975. Although it followed the movie The Naughty Stewardesses by five months, it is not a sequel to that film. Producer Sam Sherman intended the film to be a fond throwback to B-pictures of the 1940s, and hired a cast of screen veterans: The Ritz Brothers, Yvonne De Carlo, Don "Red" Barry, and Bob Livingston. There is some "T&A" content but nothing explicit, and the film mostly resembles a vintage western, complete with dude-ranch setting, outlaw hijackers, stunt riders, masked cowboy hero, and rodeo footage. Because of the western theme, the working title The Jet Set was changed to Blazing Stewardesses to capitalize on the box-office hit Blazing Saddles. The film was later re-released under at least three alternate titles: Texas Layover, Cathouse Cowgirls, and The Great Truck Robbery. R (USA) Margaret is a 2011 drama film written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan. The film stars Anna Paquin, Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, Kieran Culkin, Olivia Thirlby, and Rosemarie DeWitt.

While the studio insisted the film's running time could not exceed 150 minutes, Lonergan's preferred version was closer to three hours. Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker contributed to editing a 165-minute version that Lonergan approved; the cut was never completed due to a budget shortage of $500,000. Eventually, Fox Searchlight Pictures released the 150-minute film in a limited release in the United States on September 30, 2011. Lonergan eventually completed a three-hour extended version incorporating extra footage with revised score and sound mix, which was subsequently released on DVD in July 2012.

R (USA) TEKKONKINKREET combines the imaginative fantasy and action elements of the best Japanimation with a dark and modern children’s story. A hybrid of cutting-edge 3D CGI technology and traditional Japanese anime, TEKKONKINKREET is unlike anything ever seen before, combining dynamic action, virtuoso visual treats, and heart-rending tragedy. TEKKONKINKREET’s child heroes, BLACK (Kuro) and WHITE (Shiro) nearly defy description, each blending equal parts superhero, hardened street urchin, and innocent child. They rage by day and disappear by night. They can fly. And their deftness with a kick, pipe or bat is unmatched. More importantly they are searching, fighting for the next adventure but knowing deep down that times are changing (and for the worse).Black is the “man with the plan”, older, hardened, and always ready for action. The lost innocent, aggressive, an impetuous force of violence, Black is the child forced to grow up. If there is no turning back for Black, his goal is to save what’s left of White’s innocence. Far from pure, White is clearly still a child, helpless, emotional, and open to the world, but paradoxically all-knowing, in tune with the poetry of streets. These two love each other, but it’s deeper than that: they cannot live without each other. White needs Black to survive. Black needs White to feel worthy, and to maintain hope in the world. TEKKONKINKREET opens as the two boys kick and fight their way through daily life. We meet White as he communicates in singsong to an imagined command center in the sky and reports that he has again kept the world safe from ‘bad guys,’ then retreats into a dream of a better life on the seashore. Meanwhile, perched on a telephone pole high atop Treasure Town’s streets, Black watches the action with the eyes of a hawk zeroing in on his next kill, rival kids from another neighborhood. A madcap chase ensues, with the boys hurtling down Treasure Town’s alleys and flying over its rooftops.But all is not fun and games in Treasure Town any longer. When Yakuza chieftain THE RAT arrives back in town, Black knows something is cooking. The Rat brings a new breed with him, led by an evil Lieutenant, KIMURA. They’ve been entreated by the BIG BOSS to clear the streets of Treasure Town for a new development, and Kimura relishes his newfound mandate. Much to the Rat’s dismay though, the Boss has wrecking plans for the old city, and he’s enlisted foreign influences to carry them out. Then SNAKE enters the mix. More deranged then all of them combined, Snake commands a band of treacherous and all-powerful ALIEN ASSASSINS. Life will certainly never be the same in Treasure Town.As the tension builds to a violent climax, the action shifts between the boys’ sweet, caring relationship and the encroaching violence of Snake and his assassins. Snake is greedy with violence, and he has the plan, the will, and the firepower to take over Treasure Town. With the prescience of a soothsayer, White senses this danger in his gut. And only Black has the ability to stop it. The table is set for a battle royale.Central to the soul of the piece, Treasure Town is a major character in itself, a jarring visual metaphor for the war between good and evil, darkness and light, between retaining innocent ‘treasures’ versus losing them to the guilt of greed. Treasure Town is Old Tokyo on steroids, with smiling moons, expressionistic clouds, and whimsical blimps always floating somewhere behind a city piled on top of itself- the dream city floating behind the invading nightmare.TEKKONKINKREET is a classic tale of innocence lost, and Treasure Town the perfect visual manifestation of this age-old theme. An amusement park taken over by a new, more corrupt and chaotic megalopolis, like Black and White Treasure Town rests perilously on the precipice of despair. United as one, preserving the balance of the city together, all turns to hell when Black and White are... R (USA) Riding the Bullet is a 2004 horror film, directed by Mick Garris.

The shooting lasted 5 years until the Staff Benda Bilili became worldwide acclaimed. Amid this larger arc of triumph over adversity, it’s Barret and de La Tullaye’s joint eye for smaller personal and environmental details that keep the film witty and surprising: the camera captures the social cut-and-thrust of urban Kinshasa, before reflecting the group’s wonder at a wider world they previously imagined only in mythic terms. In Benda Bilili!, the sense of discovery between subject and audience is thrillingly mutual. Benda Bilili! received standing ovations when it opened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, with the group in attendance, and performing at the Directors' Fortnight opening party.

R (USA) "A wedding at her parents’ Annapolis estate hurls high-strung Lynn into the fire of primal, Byzantine family dynamics. It’s the wedding of Lynn’s son, whom she was deprived of raising because of her acrimonious divorce, and a feud still rages between Lynn and her ex-husband’s hot-tempered wife. Meanwhile, the three children Lynn did raise display a panoply of disturbing behaviors like cutting and drug addiction, which Lynn’s mother and sisters alternately ridicule and blame her for. As Lynn attempts catharsis, her mother sweeps issues under the rug, but painful truths bubble and spurt. Clan members deploy ricocheting arrows to protect themselves—and wound others—as the fine lines between victims and perpetrators blur. Many films have tread the terrain of upper-class family dysfunction, but few marshal as much sensitivity, rawness, and truth—and few performances penetrate as deeply as those of Ellen Barkin, Ellen Burstyn, and Ezra Miller as they navigate the emotional minefields of unmet needs that span generations."

G Waiting in the Dark is a 2006 drama romance thriller film directed by Daisuke Tengan. R (USA) Picking up six years after the events of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, this competently produced but ultimately disappointing sequel attempts to tie up the uneven horror series' loose ends with a less-than-convincing resolution. This installment opens with Jamie Lloyd (J.C. Brandy), young niece of supernatural psycho-killer Michael Myers, giving birth on an altar amid a mysterious Druid ceremony. Before she is killed by her monstrous uncle, Jamie manages to leave her baby in the care of young Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd), who has pursued a lifelong obsession with the horrific Myers family legacy in the town of Haddonfield, IL. Living with members of the Strode family, Tommy comes to suspect that one of them, little Danny Strode (Devin Gardner), is cursed with the same malevolent power that drove Michael to murder several members of his family. When Michael arrives in Haddonfield to find and destroy Jamie's baby, Tommy joins forces with Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), Michael's ex-psychiatrist and a life-long crusader against his sinister former patient, to find the connection between Michael and the Man in Black and end the curse once and for all. Released shortly after Pleasence's death, this confusing, horribly edited blend of tired slasher clichés and X-Files-inspired subplots is a poor testament to the long career of the distinguished and compelling character actor.

From a financial perspective, Sahara was unusual because it performed reasonably well, generating $122 million in gross box-office sales.

According to Hollywood accounting, the film has a projected revenue of $202.9 million against expenses of $281.2 million.

PG (USA) "Barry Levinson has covered a lot of ground in his film career – from Southeast Asia in Good Morning, Vietnam to Las Vegas in Rain Man – but he always comes back to Baltimore, from Diner to Tin Men to Avalon and more. In this Mavericks session, Levinson will present the world premiere of his latest work set in Baltimore, The Band That Wouldn't Die, an hour-long documentary about a marching band that kept hope alive for the city's football fans. You don't need to care about sports to be swept up in the film's emotional story about people fighting for something they love. Following the screening, Levinson will sit down for a long conversation about what draws him back to his hometown. The Band That Wouldn't Die is part of an extraordinary project produced by ESPN called 30 for 30. In honour of its thirtieth anniversary, the channel commissioned thirty renowned filmmakers to direct a personal documentary related to sports. It's the kind of carte blanche that filmmakers dream about. Stylistically, they were encouraged to pursue their own path rather than conform to a house style. The Festival is proud to present the first two completed works in this endeavour (see the other on the facing page). For Levinson, ESPN's invite meant a chance to explore a story that might be classified “only in Baltimore.” In 1984, the erratic and alcoholic owner of the Baltimore Colts, Robert Irsay, made a rash decision to move the team. One night in March, moving vans shipped the Colts' possessions to Indianapolis. The next morning, fans awoke to the news in stunned disbelief. The team's volunteer marching band was among the hardest hit. But the members dedicated themselves to bringing professional football back to Baltimore. Levinson writes, “They didn't stop until 1996 when Baltimore got the Cleveland team and renamed them the Ravens, after the Edgar Allan Poe poem. Poe didn't grow up in Baltimore, but according to folklore, he died drunk in a gutter there. Baltimore will take its heroes any way it can get them.” Quoting Thom Powers on the 2009 TIFF site.

Rodrigo's daughter Lucrecia (Maria Valverde) is also used as a bargaining chip when he persuades her to wed Giovanni Sforza, the favored son of a family often in opposition to the Borgias.

R (USA) "This exposé chronicles the private dramas of irreverent, legendary comedian and pop icon Joan Rivers as she fights tooth and nail to keep her American dream alive. The film offers a rare glimpse of the comedic process and the crazy mixture of self-doubt and anger that often fuels it. A unique look inside America's obsession with fame and celebrity, Rivers's story is both an outrageously funny journey and brutally honest look at the ruthless entertainment industry, the trappings of success, and the ultimate vulnerability of the first queen of comedy. Being able to break through Rivers’s self-made façade is a tribute to filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg. It is obvious the magic of this film is the inherent trust between filmmakers and subject. Shot over the course of a year, the film enlists a resilient cinema vérité style to craft a moving look at this iconic performer, stripping away her comedy masks and laying bare the truth of her life and inspiration." Quoting the description from 2010 Sundance Film Festival site. R (USA) Rise of the Footsoldier is a British crime film released on 7 September 2007.

"Gorgeously shot on location in Kenya, and using many local nonprofessionals both behind the camera and as actors, Justin Chadwick’s (The Other Boleyn Girl) stirring drama turns the obstinate desire for an education on the part of 84-year-old Kikuyu tribesman Kimani (unforgettably played by Oliver Litondo) into a deeply affecting and emotionally uplifting tale. Taking advantage of a 2002 Kenyan law that guaranteed free education for all, Kimani—a veteran Mau Mau freedom fighter who suffered at the hands of the British imperialist rulers—shows up at his local one-room school, walking stick in hand, and is reluctantly turned away by the sympathetic principal (Naomie Harris). But Kimani returns the next day, and the day after that…. His eventual acceptance allows director Chadwick to intersperse scenes of Kimani’s burgeoning education with flashbacks to the harsh treatment he received from the British. The effect is very moving and ultimately hopeful; despite Kenya’s—and by extension, Africa’s—troubled past, humanity, here in the form of one aged tribesman, refuses to give up."

R (USA) Power of Attorney is a 1995 action crime film directed by Howard Himelstein. R (USA) A Single Man is a romantic drama film written by Tom Ford and David Scearce and directed by Tom Ford. "Tom Ford's historical importance (to date) rests in part on his unique collaborations with the late twentieth century's great commercial photographers: Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts and so on. With them, he championed the idea that style could govern our memories, without an appeal to straightforward nostalgia. Evidence of this same balance of past and present can also be found in the clothes he famously created at Gucci. Ford drew from the past in ways that clearly distinguish tribute from innovation, evoking both technological change and the timeless truths of the human form. In his first feature film, Ford continues along this rich and aesthetically complex pathway, using the recent history of the photographic image to tell a story both historical and bracingly contemporary. The setting is Southern California and our moment in time is officially the early sixties. We meet George Falconer (Colin Firth), a gay college professor, as he learns that his lover Jim (Matthew Goode) has died in a car wreck. Grief overwhelms him, and his “invisible status” in society begins to close in again. Suicide seems the best way out. But a mad night with Charley (Julianne Moore), his best girlfriend from England, and the unexpected attentions of an angora-sweater-clad young man make George think twice. Based on a late-career Christopher Isherwood novel, told largely through flashback and featuring alarmingly precise attention to period detail in furniture, costume and architecture, A Single Man could easily have felt like a throwback, a work of atavism. But Ford pulls this pre-AIDS tale of gay love and loss into our age by reminding us, again, of what is eternal in life, love and how we choose to forgive. The film deliberately reveals how George pulls himself from the narcissism of self-sacrifice to an understanding of his value to the world and the people around him. Ford seems to be gently insisting that the rich and complex personal histories of gay men, from any age, must be part of the political calculations of our time. A Single Man confirms this artist's ongoing impact on our culture and our awareness of our place within it." Quoting Noah Cowan.

For one of the characters, when he thinks that, it all makes sense, it makes sense of the world, that the world is such a slimy world of greed and selfishness and anguish and pain that the only way that it can make any sense is if the person who created the whole thing is... it's all a macabre joke. It's almost the opposite of Genesis 1: `We were made in God's image and likeness'. If you say, `We are sinful, horrible, we're in God's likeness, therefore that's what God is like'.

Berkowitz emerged from the epicenter of the epidemic as a community leader, demanding a solution to the problem before anyone else would pay attention. However, it was not Berkowitz' voice alone that sparked contention. Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, a controversial virologist and AIDS doctor, postulated that AIDS was more complicated than just a new virus. With Sonnabend's theory in tow, Berkowitz fought, alongside beloved activist and musician Michael Callen, for safer sex practices without giving up on sex altogether. SEX POSITIVE explores the explicit bravery of this unrecognized triumvirate, and their dire quest to save lives in the midst of unwavering dissent. Now destitute and alone, Mr. Berkowitz tells his story to a world who never wanted to listen. Through the eyes of Mr. Berkowitz, the audience is made witness to a graphic testimony of sex, death, and betrayal, while placing the invention of ‘safe sex’ in a fresh and compelling context."

Presumed Guilty narrates the story of José Antonio Zúñiga Rodriguez, nicknamed Toño, who was mistakenly accused of murder and condemned to twenty years in jail for being poor and in the wrong place at the wrong time. His case would have been one of many unfortunate stories, but lawyers Roberto Hernández and Layda Negrete decided to get involved and publicize the injustice. Hernández and Negrete gained recognition for a short documentary called The Tunnel, which provoked the release of an innocent man from prison. This film eventually led them to Toño's case, and after studying the court documents, they discovered that the lawyer representing him was working illegally with a forged licence. They were able to reopen the case and decided to film the new trial. Hernández and Geoffrey Smith (of The English Surgeon) then teamed up to bring Toño's story to the screen. Presumed Guilty shows how Toño's strength and creativity help him through nearly three years of wrongful imprisonment. Courtroom scenes chillingly call to mind Kafka's The Trial, so absurd is the mindless bureaucracy in the judicial process. Toño is retried by the same judge who condemned him. The prosecutor is concerned only with the previous case file and has no interest in new information. The police officers refuse to co-operate, insisting they do not remember Toño's arrest. It is revealed that the only witness to implicate Toño had himself originally been accused of the crime, then learned of Toño through the police. Hernández and Negrete uncover a frustrating, labyrinthine legal system defended by mediocre civil servants and corrupt police officers. Turning the lens on a dysfunctional legal system, Hernández and Smith show just how difficult it is to achieve any sort of justice. At a time when there is a strong push for the death penalty in Mexico, Presumed Guilty is important not only as a document of the system's flaws but as a vehicle for change."

R (USA) The Protocols of Zion is a 2005 documentary film by Jewish filmmaker Marc Levin about a resurgence of antisemitism in the United States in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Armed with his camera and appearing on screen along with his subjects, Levin engages in a free-for-all dialogue with Arab Americans, Black nationalists, evangelists, White nationalists, Kabbalist rabbis, Holocaust survivors, and Frank Weltner, the founder of Jew Watch web site. Levin's film draws its inspiration from an encounter he had in a New York taxi not long after 9/11, in which his driver, an Egyptian immigrant, made the claim that the Jews had been warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on the day of the attack. He then said that "it's all written in the book," referring to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a 1903 book purporting to disclose the Jews' master plan to rule the world. Discredited as a hoax by The Times of London in 1921, The Protocols provided a crucial influence on Hitler's world views, and had fuelled hatred, violence, and ultimately genocide attempts through the first half of the twentieth century. G Bee Bop highschool: Koko yotaro kyoso-kyoku is an action comedy film directed by Hiroyuki Nasu. PG (USA) Pom Poko is a 1994 Japanese animated fantasy film, the eighth written and directed by Isao Takahata and animated by Studio Ghibli. Consistent with Japanese folklore, the tanuki are portrayed as a highly sociable, mischievous species, which are able to use "illusion science" to transform into almost anything, but too fun-loving and too fond of tasty treats to be a real threat – unlike the kitsune and other shape-shifters. Visually, the tanuki in this film are depicted in three ways at various times: as realistic animals, as anthropomorphic animals which occasionally wear clothes, and as cartoony figures based on the manga of Shigeru Sugiura. They tend to assume their realistic form when seen by humans, their cartoony form when they are doing something outlandish or whimsical, and their anthropomorphic form at all other times. Prominent testicles are an integral part of tanuki folklore, and they are shown and referred to throughout the film, and also used frequently in their shape-shifting. This remains unchanged in the DVD release, though the English dub refers to them as "pouches". G El Dorado is a 1963 film directed by Menahem Golan.

Similar to his earlier works Getting Any?, and A Scene at the Sea, Kitano references the yakuza only tangentially in Kikujiro, a departure from his work in famous crime dramas such as Sonatine and Hana-bi. Aimed at the whole family, the film was allegedly inspired by The Wizard of Oz with the basic premise being a road trip.

In 1964, Clouzot set out to direct the story of a husband, played by Serge Reggiani, who suffers bouts of paranoid jealousy over his new bride, played by the twenty-six-year-old Romy Schneider. Hollywood investors promised Clouzot an unlimited budget, which he spent experimenting with months of camera tests. As an art lover – his previous films included Le Mystère Picasso – Clouzot took inspiration from the kinetic and kaleidoscopic visuals that were emerging in galleries.

R (USA) "In 2007, the people behind the venerable Mondo Macabro DVD label released their first feature film production: a Pakistani gore film called HELL'S GROUND. Now, Mondo Macabro Movies has made a 180 degree turn with DOWN TERRACE, a darkly comedic drama from Britain about the daily travails of a family of crooks trying to keep their criminal enterprise from falling apart. DOWN TERRACE opens with Bill (Bob Hill) and his son Karl (Robin Hill) leaving a courthouse after a stint in jail. As soon as they get out, the pair try to figure out who ratted them out to the police. Its not exactly clear why Bill and Karl were locked up, but their habitual drug intake and shady dealings indicate that they are up to no good. Karl's wife (Julia Deakin) seems nice enough, but she is intricately involved in the skullduggery that got her husband and son locked up. Various suspicious characters enter the scenario, including hated family friend Garvey (Tony Way), a hit man named Pringle (Michael Smiley) who carries his toddler to jobs, Karl's pregnant girlfriend (Kerry Peacock), and a brutal oaf named Eric (David Schaal). Everyone suspects each other of being a snitch, and the paranoia blossoms into a deadly web of plots and schemes. DOWN TERRACE is the directorial debut of Ben Wheatley, who along with Robin Hill, wrote the film's script. Wheatley is known as a comedic writer for British television shows like Armando Lannuci's TIME TRUMPET. Some of the cast, which features a mix of professionals and non-professionals, will be familiar to many through appearances on SPACED, THE OFFICE (original), and EXTRAS. Based on the pedigree of the talent, one might expect DOWN TERRACE to be a straight-up comedy. DOWN TERRACE is very funny, but the film taps into a dark vein of humor that can only come from observing a group of dysfunctional gangsters as they plan to kill each other. Wheatley uses a cinema verite camera style, which, when combined with the film's naturalistic performances, creates the feel of eavesdropping on multiple crimes in progress."

He is at once gentle and animalistic, humane and violent, predator and prey.After a stint in a juvenile reform school, where his boxing skills took root, the 14-year-old Tyson was introduced to legendary trainer Constantine ""Cus"" D'Amato, who took the young fighter under his wing and served as one of the only positive figures in his life. D’Amato died before he was able to see his final protégé become the sport’s youngest heavyweight champion at 20 years old, an event that started a chain reaction in Tyson’s young life. His meteoric success in the ring collapsed under a sea of controversy—his ill-fated marriage to Robin Givens, who publicly maligned him as a violent beast; an arrest and conviction for the rape of Desiree Washington, a charge which he still denies; a highly publicized falling out with promoter Don King; and his infamous 1997 rematch with Evander Holyfield.Toback manages to crack Mike Tyson’s brooding exterior to expose both the best and worst of the most explosive and controversial enigma in the history of the sport."

This time they intrepidly mine Oedipal terrain to wrestle with stirring, profound questions about the obstacles to human intimacy. Alone and acutely depressed, having just learned of his ex-wife’s wedding plans, John can’t believe his luck when he encounters beautiful, charming Molly at a party. The two get along famously and launch a passionate affair—until Molly’s 21-year-old son, Cyrus, enters the scene. Will Molly and Cyrus’s deep and idiosyncratic bond leave room for John? Cyrus becomes a dark, poignant, sometimes hilarious war dance as Molly, Cyrus, and John walk the line between creepy and sympathetic. Each member of this awkward triangle teeters somewhere between bare honesty and furtive manipulation as he or she lets loose all manner of dysfunctionality. The excruciating, delightful fun is seeing where the boundaries ultimately land." Quoting the description from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival site.

PG (USA) You've Got Mail is a 1998 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Nora Ephron, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It was written by Nora and Delia Ephron based on the 1937 play Parfumerie by Miklós László.

An adaptation of Parfumerie was previously made as The Shop Around the Corner, a 1940 film by Ernst Lubitsch and also a 1949 musical remake, In the Good Old Summertime by Robert Z. Leonard starring Judy Garland. You've Got Mail updates that concept with the use of e-mail. Influences from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice can also be seen in the relationship between Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly — a reference pointed out by these characters actually discussing Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet in the film. Ephron stated that You've Got Mail was as much about the Upper West Side itself as the characters, highlighting the "small town community" feel that pervades the Upper West Side. The name of the film is an example of product placement, based on the trademark greeting that AOL users hear when they receive new e-mail.

R (USA) Scum is a 1979 British crime drama film directed by Alan Clarke, portraying the brutality of life inside a British borstal. The script was originally made for the BBC's Play for Today strand in 1977, however due to the violence depicted, it was withdrawn from broadcast. Two years later, director Alan Clarke and scriptwriter Roy Minton remade it as a film, first shown on Channel 4 in 1983. By this time the borstal system had been reformed and eventually allowed the original TV version to be aired. The film tells the story of a young offender named Carlin as he arrives at the institution and his rise through violence and self-protection to the top of the inmates' pecking order, purely as a tool to survive.

R (USA) Farinelli is a 1994 biographical film about the life and career of the 18th-century Italian opera singer Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, considered the greatest castrato singer of all time. It stars Stefano Dionisi as Farinelli, Enrico Lo Verso as his brother, composer Riccardo Broschi, and was directed by the Belgian director, Gérard Corbiau. Although based on real-life events, dramatic license was taken to a great extent, and only the basic facts of Farinelli's life are correct, while the plot line is completely fictional and far removed from what is known about real-life Carlo Broschi. For example, the ambiguous relationship between the Broschi brothers, the stormy one with rival composer Handel, and Farinelli's own amorous escapades and over-the-top rockstar attitude are totally spurious. Additionally, Farinelli's brother is given much more importance than he actually had in his brother's career, while Porpora's own is de-emphasized; the movie also offers a different explanation for how Carlo Broschi came to take the stage name Farinelli than what has been historically ascertained.

He pitched the idea to Vertigo Films, who suggested he watch In Search of a Midnight Kiss, a low-budget film starring Scoot McNairy. Edwards cast McNairy and his then-girlfriend Whitney Able—also an actress, and now McNairy's wife—in the lead roles.

PG-13 (USA) In SUPER SIZE ME, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a "McDonald's only" diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death."For 30 days, Morgan Spurlock consumed nothing but food from McDonald's, an experiment in bad living that frames a jaunty critique of junk gastronomy and corporate power. Like a thinner, less aggressive Michael Moore, the director talks to consumers, experts and food-industry flacks, weaving alarming statistics about rampant obesity with visits to the doctor and double-quarter-pounder-with-cheese combo meals. The film is an entertaining statement of the obvious, though its big questions - do corporations serve our need or enslave our bodies and soul?, are public health problems caused by capitalist rapacity or personal choice? - are not as simple as Mr. Spurlock would have us believe." - A.

The film was released to little or no fanfare, and remains today a curious relic from the early 1970s.

R (USA) Body Shots is an American film written by David McKenna and directed by Michael Cristofer. Released in October 1999, Body Shots tells the story of eight singles whose night of drunken debauchery goes terribly wrong. One DVD version in the UK contains a highly misleading blurb suggesting that it is some sort of sexual comedy. In fact the film is an insightful exploration of a night that ends in an alleged rape, with parallel versions intercut with flashbacks and comments to camera from the various characters who all have different attitudes to sex. While leaving the plot open the script tilts towards the version of the accused macho actor and against the binge drinking and disturbed accuser. Perhaps this is why establishment critics gave it such a panning. PG (USA) Bridge to Terabithia is a 2007 American fantasy drama film directed by Gábor Csupó and adapted for film by David L.

There is no doubt that Enrique Michael Rodriguez has many ideas of what his young son—and namesake—will become: strong, proud of his Nuyorican heritage, macho…just like Enrique himself. But when Enrique returns home to the Bronx after three years in prison, he finds that he doesn’t know his son Michael at all. Enrique tries to make up for lost time by focusing even more attention on his son, only to realize that Michael is transitioning and spends a lot of time as Vanessa. And Vanessa is struggling to balance school, her poetry, her family, and a boyfriend who prefers private time to public dates. Meanwhile, Vanessa’s supportive mother, Angela, tries to keep her family together in spite of her own volatile personal life. Three pitch-perfect leads anchor an incredible cast. The always sexy Esai Morales (Caprica, NYPD Blue, Bad Boys) simmers as Enrique, Judy Reyes (Scrubs, OZ) plays Angela with grounded vulnerability, and newcomer Harmony Santana is a true breakout star, shining as Vanessa."

This film was directed by León Klimovsky and written by Naschy and Hans Munkel, and is generally regarded to have kickstarted the Spanish horror film boom of the Seventies, due to its awesome box office success upon its release. Patty Shepard was so convincing as the vampiric Countess, it was thought at the time that she might replace actress Barbara Steele as Europe's reigning horror queen. Klimovsky filmed many of the scenes in slow motion, to add to the otherworldliness of the film. Naschy followed up this film with a sequel entitled Dr. Jekyll and the Wolf Man. Note* - There is a scene in this film that obviously inspired Spanish director Amando de Ossorio to write Tombs of the Blind Dead, which was made just a few months later in 1971.

Directed by Ferdinand Fairfax and filmed on location in Fiji and New Zealand, it starred Tommy Lee Jones, Michael O'Keefe and Jenny Seagrove. This was one of many early 1980s films designed to capitalize on the popularity of Lucas and Spielberg's hero, Indiana Jones, but Nate and Hayes was a flop at the box office. This contributed to the long held belief in Hollywood that pirate swashbucklers were box office poison, a belief not laid to rest until the 2003 release of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Countdown to Zero sweeps us into a scorching, hypnotic journey around the world to reveal the palpable possibility of nuclear disaster and frame an issue on which human survival itself hangs. Scientists, world leaders, and security experts—including Valerie Plame herself—expose the absurdities and alarming realities of the situation. The 1990s heralded a second nuclear age. Many countries and terrorist groups are now actively acquiring fissile materials and construction blueprints. The possibility of an accident or miscalculation looms even larger. As the film projects a startling vision, interviews with Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair, and Pervez Musharraf yield a unified message: our only option is to eradicate every-last nuclear missile. Luckily for us, getting to zero is possible—step by step. Let’s jump-start the change." Quoting the description from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival site.

Throughout the film, Abbey is shown being interviewed on television during 2002, two years after the abductions occurred.

The film stars Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Sam Robards, Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson, and William Hurt. Set sometime in the future, A.I. tells the story of David, a childlike android uniquely programmed with the ability to love.

Kubrick hired a series of writers up until the mid-1990s, including Brian Aldiss, Bob Shaw, Ian Watson, and Sara Maitland.

R (USA) Language of the Enemy is a 2008 drama film written and directed Mitch Davis PG-13 (USA) "Taking a leading role for the first time in several years, American legend Robert Duvall gives a performance of wisdom and nuance in Get Low. Complemented by a first-rate cast that includes Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek and Lucas Black, this classic story from a bygone era unfolds with quiet majesty. For the past forty years, Felix Bush (Duvall) has lived as a hermit deep in the Tennessee woods. His clothes tattered, his manner rough and his expressions buried behind a massive white beard, he's an unnerving figure when he stalks into town with his mule, shotgun in hand. Some say he's killed men with his bare hands. One day Bush walks into the local funeral parlour and announces to Frank Quinn (Murray), “'Bout time for me to get low. Down to business. I need a funeral.” More importantly, he wants a funeral party, an event that will draw all his friends and enemies to his shack in the woods for a final reckoning – and he wants to throw the party while he's still alive. Based on a true story, Get Low has the feel of a classic American tale. Its style evokes westerns both old and new. There is something of Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller in director Aaron Schneider's storytelling, and something of Gordon Willis and Conrad Hall in the film's richly lit and composed images. The beauty of the cinematography serves as a backdrop to resonant performances from each actor. Lucas Black more than holds his own as the undertaker's sidekick, playing against Murray's sly rhythms with upright sincerity. Taking the role of Felix's former lover, Spacek is pure pleasure to watch in her scenes with Duvall. To see two veteran actors responding to each other with such heart and such presence is an all-too-rare treat. And for Duvall, Get Low marks a welcome return. Always a minimalist, he is now at the stage where he can do so much more onscreen with so much less. His every moment here is a lesson in living before the camera. It stands with his best-ever performances." Quoting the 2009 TIFF site. G Mt. Hakkoda is a 2014 film based on the documentary novel Tragedy in a Blizzard by Koshu Ogasawara.

R (USA) "White Irish Drinkers is set in 1975 in the Bay Ridge area in Brooklyn, an enclave of working-class, hardscrabble families with a societal code that discourages any aspirations to leave the neighbourhood. In the thick of it are two brothers, Danny (Geoff Wigdor) and Brian (Nick Thurston), who dare to dream of life elsewhere. But their reasons for leaving, and their means of doing so, are so opposed that they threaten to destroy their entire family and, potentially, each other. Elder brother Danny has suffered years of physical and verbal abuse from his flinty, alcoholic father (Stephen Lang) and is relying on his criminal ambitions to get the two brothers as far from Bay Ridge as possible. Brian doesn’t share Danny’s enthusiasm for crime and keeps his hopes and heart locked away in the basement of their apartment building, where he spends all of his free time drawing and painting. When Whitey (Peter Riegert), the owner of a failing local cinema where Brian works, announces a concert by The Rolling Stones that will share profits with the young man, Brian guardedly hopes that his secret ambition to attend art school might finally be realized. But soon Danny’s reckless crimes, his father’s alcohol-soaked temper and Brian’s flailing attempts to avoid both collide and the resulting turmoil ends in an upheaval that affects the entire community. White Irish Drinkers is a gritty, moving story about finding the courage to make a better choice, rather than accepting the easier options that lie directly in front of you. The quiet, tenuous glue that somehow holds the family together is the boys’ mother, Margaret, played with earthy stoicism by Karen Allen. Despite years of a soul-destroying marriage to a profoundly difficult man, Margaret’s staunch Catholicism demands that she stand by him, even though she is afraid to face the inevitable realities of her sons’ futures. When she discovers Brian’s secret studio, she shares a spark of hope, fulfillment and amazement that she has a child with a gift, something that may lift him into a better future than any she could provide."

R (USA) "J Blakeson's endlessly inventive debut feature is a committed, claustrophobic three-hander, featuring some of Britain's most credible and adaptable film acting talent. Two men set about their business in silence, stealing a van and buying tools and materials to strip and fit a dowdy two-room flat. With an air of brutal efficiency, it's clear they have more sinister intentions than mere home improvement, particularly when they start on the soundproofing and attach a bed to the floor. They soon don masks and pack guns, before seizing a young woman on a deserted suburban street, throwing her in the back of a van, and taking her back to be handcuffed to that bed. As unsettlingly intriguing as the opening scenes of The Disappearance of Alice Creed are, it's at this point of the film that viewers may allow themselves to think they're heading for familiar schlock territory. Yet it's to the film's credit that the tone remains unsettling and intriguing, even as we begin to learn more about the protagonists, about who they are and what they mean to each other. All have shifting agendas and motives, their actions consistently unpredictable. Allowing for a dollop of black humour, J Blakeson's endlessly inventive debut feature is a committed, claustrophobic three-hander, which, with Gemma Arterton, Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston, showcases some of Britain's most credible and adaptable film acting talent." Quoting Michael Hayden R (USA) Galaxina is a low-budget 1980 American comedy/science fiction film, best remembered for its lead actress, Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1980 Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered shortly after the movie's release.

According to an interview from the film, Horton purchased the painting from a California thrift shop as a gift for a friend who was feeling depressed. Horton thought the bright colors were cheery, but when the dinner-table-sized painting proved too large to fit into her friend's trailer, Horton set it out among other items at a yard sale, where a local art teacher spotted it and suggested that the work could have been painted by Pollock due to the similarity to his action painting technique. At one point Horton and her friend decided the painting would be good for target practice, but they never got around to trying that activity. The film depicts Horton's attempts to authenticate and sell the painting as an original work by Pollock. PG (USA) Karm is a 1977 Hindi movie produced and directed by B. R. Chopra.

PG (USA) "Hiroshima is Uruguayan director Pablo Stoll's first solo feature. Critically acclaimed for his debut film, 25 Watts, which he followed with the sublime hit Whisky (both co-directed with the late Juan Pablo Rebella), Stoll now returns to filmmaking with a completely different piece: a (mostly) silent musical. Hiroshima is a very intimate film. The director follows his brother Juan as he goes about his daily routine in Montevideo. As the lead singer of a band, Juan lacks the ability to communicate his feelings verbally. Instead he relates to the world through his music. The natural sounds around him and the songs he listens to on his Discman take on a fundamental role in the film, and, as in the days of silent cinema, all dialogue is presented through title cards. With the creation of a film with silent dialogue, Stoll fosters an affecting depiction of a protagonist cut off from the world around him and those close to him. The only time words are heard is when Juan watches old home movies that he found while cleaning out his closet. Unsettlingly, we are only able to hear the voices from his past and from his childhood. Similarly disconcerting is when he goes to the street market and sells the projector along with all of his family films. When the buyer asks if they are his, Juan claims to have found them and to have no idea to whom they belong. Hiroshima touches on these themes of disappearance and disengagement with great dexterity. The film displays the talents of an emerging group of filmmakers working in Uruguay today. A number of these artists have cameos in Stoll's film: Adrián Biniez, who presents his debut, Gigante, at the Festival this year; Federico Veiroj, whose film Acné screened here last year; and Manuel Nieto Zas, director of The Dog Pound, which screened two years prior in 2006. These filmmakers gained their early experiences in cinema working on Stoll and Rebella's initial two features, and it's inspiring to see them all participating in Stoll's first independent effort. Stoll is an important name in the flourishing Uruguayan film industry, and his latest film is both a testament to his national cinema's success and a poignant tribute to the late Rebella." Quoting Diana Sanchez on the 2009 TIFF site. R (USA) Winged Creatures is a 2008 crime film directed by Rowan Woods. It is an adaptation of Roy Freirich's novel Winged Creatures.

PG (USA) "A haunting and dark take on the western, George Ryga's HUNGRY HILLS is adapted with depth and beauty by screenwriter Gary Fisher and director Rob King from the acclaimed novel by George Ryga. Snit Mandolin (Keir Gilchrist) just wants to go home. After two years in a welfare residence for boys, where daily survival literally means a fight, he is eager to get back to the family farm in Saskatchewan. But the only people happy to see him are his Aunt Matilda (Gabrielle Rose) and another young outcast, Johnny Swift (Alexander De Jordy). When Snit is unable to cultivate his family's rock-strewn fields, he turns to Johnny's bootlegging operation to get the farm back into working order. However, the tough-as-nails local cop Roy Kane (John Pyper-Ferguson) is on the lookout for the person who's been brewing moonshine, and all he needs is one more reason to send Snit back to the home for boys. Already on the run from a community that doesn't want them, Snit and Johnny take drastic steps to escape the foothills. In classic western fashion, HUNGRY HILLS follows an outlaw and his sidekick as they are hunted by a local sheriff, their flight set against a stunningly photographed natural landscape. Instead of lush valleys and rock formations, this is a barren wasteland, and their desolate surroundings provide a stark reflection of financial desperation. Immaculate art direction transforms the fifties into a character of its own, crowding the people and forcing their actions. Sterling performances by the cast support the film's gorgeous and memorable visual palette. More than forty years after the book was initially published, George Ryga's story feels fresh again in this cinematic form. The film offers a grim portrayal of the decay of morality at the hands of money, and its themes of survival and dogged determination are perfectly situated in the current global context. In the vein of modern westerns like There Will Be Blood, heroism and redemption are only revealed after grisly events, and George Ryga's HUNGRY HILLS finds these qualities in unlikely places and people. This is among the most inventive and polished Canadian literary adaptations in recent memory." Quoting Jesse Wente on the 2009 TIFF site.

He escapes with the assistance of a police cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and they are embroiled in a quest for the legendary Holy Grail. He is pursued by a dogged French police captain, Bezu Fache. A noted British Grail historian, Sir Leigh Teabing, tells them the actual Holy Grail is explicitly encoded in Leonardo da Vinci's wall painting, the Last Supper.
