|
 |
ALBERT FISH (dir: John
Borowski, Not Rated) – Who doesn’t want to watch a bio-pic about a cannibalistic child murderer? |
|
 |
^THE AURA (dir: Fabián
Bielinsky, Not Rated) – An epileptic taxidermist dreams of carrying out the perfect heist in NINE QUEENS director Fabián Bielinsky’s latest potboiler. |
|
 |
BOBBY (dir: Emilio Estevez, R) – Emilio Estevez apparently has a lot of dirt on some top drawer Hollywood stars. How else to explain how he assembled a cast including Anthony Hopkins, William H. Macy, Lindsey
Lohan, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Elijah Wood for this docu-drama about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy? |
|
 |
BON COP, BAD COP (dir: Erik
Canuel, Not Rated) – A cop from Toronto and a cop from Quebec must overcome their cultural differences in order to solve a case in this Canadian smash hit. |
|
 |
CINDERELLA (dir: Bong
Man-Dae, Not Rated) – If a movie’s from South Korea and involves plastic surgery, it’s obviously going to be a disturbing horror film. |
|
 |
FLANNEL PAJAMAS (dir: Jeff
Lipsky, R) – This in depth look at the arc of a romance between two mismatched lovers made several year-end top ten lists, including Roger Ebert’s. |
|
 |
THE GRAVEDANCERS (dir: Mike Mendez, R) – Unfriendly ghosts take out their anger on drunk teenagers in this After Dark Horrorfest installment. |
|
 |
THE HAMILTONS (dir: The Butcher Brother, R) – This week’s other cannibalism-themed horror film follows a seemingly typical American family who secretly follow a very peculiar diet. |
|
 |
*JONESTOWN (dir: Stanley Nelson, Not Rated) – Although all publicity is said to be good publicity, the makers of Kool-Aid would probably beg to differ regarding the prominent role their product plays in this fascinating documentary about a certain cult leader in South America and 900 of his followers. |
|
 |
KARLA (dir: Joel Bender, R) – Rising stars Laura Prepon and Misha Collins star as the true life “Ken and Barbie killers” who terrorized Canada in the 1990s. |
|
 |
THE KING MAKER (dir: Lek
Kitiparaporn, R) – A young Portuguese mercenary sets out for the Orient in search of his father’s killer in this
epic-ish adventure with an international cast of actors with long gone sell-by dates. |
|
 |
LE PETIT LIEUTENANT (dir: Xavier
Beauvois, Not Rated) – A rookie policeman awaits his first assignment on the mean streets of Paris while trying to fit in with his new colleagues in this absorbing noir cop movie. |
|
 |
LIFE OF THE PARTY (dir: Barra Grant, R) – Since SWINGERS came out over ten years ago, it seems a little desperate to still be ripping it off. Maybe everyone will be too distracted by GREY’S ANATOMY star Ellen Pompeo to care. |
|
 |
MY FATHER THE GENIUS (dir: Lucia Small, Not Rated) – A daughter explores the life of her wildly eccentric estranged father in this acclaimed documentary. The discomfort level is off the charts for this real life ROYAL
TENENBAUMS. |
|
 |
RANK (dir: John
Hyams, Not Rated) – Get an inside look at the allegedly fascinating world of rodeo in this documentary that takes place at the World Championship. |
|
 |
SLAUGHTER NIGHT (dir: Frank Van Geloven / Edwin
Visser, Not Rated) - This Dutch horror flick impressed gorehounds across Europe for its reasonably nifty ghost in a coalmine plot, but mostly for its buckets of blood. |
|
 |
SLEEPING DOGS LIE (dir: Bobcat
Goldthwait, R) – Bobcat Goldthwait finally follows up his masterful directorial debut SHAKES THE CLOWN with this taboo-shattering story of a young woman who’s keeping a very big secret from her fiancé. |
|
|
|
|
 |
THE WAR AGAINST THE WAR AGAINST DRUGS (dir: Cevin D. Soling, Not Rated) – This series of REEFER MADNESS-style educational films viciously parody the government’s ineffectual and hypocritical war on illegal drugs. |
