3:10 to YumaGenre: Westerns Release Date: 05/14/2013 Rating Production Year: 1957 Run Time: 92 mins Released By: Criterion Collection Cast: Van Heflin, Glenn Ford, Felicia Farr, Richard Jaeckel, Leora Dana When stubborn farmer, Dan Evans (Ven Heflin), attempts to bring wanted criminal, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to the authorities in Yuma and collect the reward, he's in for quite a challenge. Desperate, the captive criminal offers the poor farmer $10,000 to set him free. While waiting for the train, the two men engage in a brutal battle of wills and as Evans eludes Wade's gang of miscreant thugs, he must fight his own moral battle and catch the 3:10 to Yuma. A poignant and chilling western, 3:10 TO YUMA evokes more thought and emotion with its timing and clever scripting than most traditional shot gun-riddled Westerns ever achieve. Director Delmer Daves teams up with pulp writer Elmore Leonard (who would go on to script GET SHORTY and JACKIE BROWN) to deliver this sharp and biting western classic. … more less -

3, 2, 1... Frankie Go BoomGenre: Comedies Release Date: 05/14/2013 Rating NR Production Year: 2012 Run Time: 89 mins Released By: Universal Studios Home Video Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Chris O'Dowd, Lizzy Caplan, Whitney Cummings, Nora Dunn Two brothers are forced to work together to stop the spread of an incriminating videotape in this independent comedy. Would-be novelist Frankie (Charlie Hunnam) lives in the desert to avoid his family, and with good cause -- his older brother Bruce (Chris O'Dowd) has spent much of his life videotaping Frankie in humiliating circumstances, and was waiting with a camcorder when Frankie was dumped during his own wedding. (Bruce posted the wedding video on the Internet, where it has been viewed three million times.) Shortly after being released from rehab, Bruce records Frankie's less than satisfying rendezvous with Lassie (Lizzy Caplan), and when a copy somehow finds its way to an on-line porn site, Frankie is desperate to have it taken down before too many people see it. Bruce is angry that his brother is getting in the way of his career as a "filmmaker" until he learns Lassie is the daughter of Jack (Chris Noth), a washed-up action star who befriended Bruce in rehab. Bruce thinks Jack might be his ticket to making real movies in Hollywood, except for the actor's violent mood swings and unbending loyalty to his daughter. 3, 2, 1 . . . FRANKIE GO BOOM also stars Ron Perlman, Whitney Cummings and Nora Dunn. … more less -
JubalGenre: Westerns Release Date: 05/14/2013 Rating Production Year: 1956 Run Time: 101 mins Released By: Criterion Collection Cast: Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, Rod Steiger, Valerie French, Felicia Farr Jubal Troop (Glenn Ford) is an honest, well-intentioned cowhand who has come into town looking for work. When he is injured in a riding accident, rancher Shep Horgan (Ernest Borgnine) offers him a job tending horses, but before long trouble is brewing and Morgan's coquettish wife, Mae (Valerie French) falls for Jubal. The dubious cowhand Pinky (Rod Steiger) won't stand for Jubal stealing Mae's attention away from him. He slyly convinces Shep that the well-behaved Jubal is sleeping with Mae and sends the whole Horgan ranch into an uproar. In spite of its heavy storyline, JUBAL is actually quite a funny film. The pairing of Glenn and Borgnine makes for several amusing scenes. The plot gradually morphs from psychodrama to black comedy to comedy (similar to films like THE SWIMMER and WILD THINGS) evoking mirth and laughter, fear and loathing. Director Delmer Daves welds all of the unsuspecting chaos together, making JUBAL a non-traditional but very memorable Western. … more less -

StarletGenre: Dramas Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating Production Year: 2012 Run Time: 103 mins Released By: Music Box Films Cast: Dree Hemingway, Besedka Johnson, Stella Maeve, James Ransone, Karren Karagulian A free-spirited 21-year-old woman strikes up an unlikely friendship with an elderly widow in this drama from writer/director Sean Baker (TAKE OUT, PRINCE OF BROADWAY).

Band of OutsidersGenre: Foreign Films Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating NR Production Year: 1964 Run Time: 95 mins Released By: Criterion Collection Cast: Anna Karina, Sami Frey, Claude Brasseur, Ernest Menzer, Chantal Darget French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard continues his fascination with dime store novels and American crime films with 1964's BAND OF OUTSIDERS, a free-spirited romp in the same vein as the director's breakthrough smash, BREATHLESS. More traditional than BREATHLESS in its technical execution, BAND OF OUTSIDERS sparkles with freshness and originality--it uses comical, poetic narration by Godard himself, and has a bouncy musical score by Michel Legrand. The performances from Claude Brasseur, Sami Frey, and especially Anna Karina combine satirical melodrama, overflowing hipness, and moving sincerity, giving the film plenty of heart. An irreplaceable contribution to 1960s film, this movie is much more than a mere genre reworking. The story follows two friends, Arthur (Claude Brasseur) and Franz (Sami Frey), who are searching for a way to make a big score. When Franz meets the beautiful Odile (Anna Karina) and she informs him of a large chunk of cash her aunt keeps hidden in her house, the duo are convinced that this is their lucky break. Odile is a sensitive young woman who, out of fear and guilt, opposes their plan, but Arthur and Franz coax her to go along with the idea. When the time comes to pull off the heist, a miscalculation delays the seemingly perfect plan, resulting in a confrontation that has dire consequences. … more less -

HeavenGenre: Dramas Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating R Production Year: 2002 Run Time: 97 mins Released By: Miramax Echo Bridge Cast: Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Remo Girone, Stefania Rocca, Alessandro Sperduti Written by late Polish director Krysztof Kieslowski and Krysztof Piesiewicz (the team that made the trilogy BLUE, WHITE, and RED) and directed by German master Tom Tykwer (RUN LOLA RUN), HEAVEN is the first part of a trilogy (the other parts are called HELL and PURGATORY, for which there are no production plans in place.) Cate Blanchett is Philippa, a strong-willed English woman who teaches in Turin, Italy. At school she witnesses young students torn apart by drug addictions, poverty, and family struggles. Her husband, similarly, died of a drug overdose. She takes the law into her own hands when she decides to go after a major drug czar. But when her plan goes terribly wrong, and she's taken into custody and accused of being an international terrorist, she finds herself in a hell she never imagined. Her only hope is Filippo (Giovanni Ribisi), a young cop and translator who wants to help her. Tykwer delivers a visually stunning film with HEAVEN, using aerial photography, 360-degree pans, and gorgeous wide-angle shots to deliver a dreamlike otherworldly feeling. The chemistry between Philippa and Filippo resonates through to the end of the film, while the smartly suspenseful story keeps viewers guessing about the fate of this destined duo. An understated piano score by Arvo Part completes the prolonged feeling of tension, intrigue, and ultimate escape, making HEAVEN an impressively successful merger of Kieslowski's eerily effective writing and Tykwer's stylish directing. … more less -
Full FrontalGenre: Dramas Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating R Production Year: 2002 Run Time: 101 mins Released By: Platinum Disc, Llc Cast: Julia Roberts, Blair Underwood, Catherine Keener, David Duchovny, David Hyde Pierce Director Steven Soderbergh follows up his highly impressive string of big budget smashes (ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC, OCEAN'S ELEVEN) with this self-proclaimed "companion piece" to 1989's hugely influential SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE. Written by New York-based playwright Coleman Hough, FULL FRONTAL concerns a day in the life of a series of confused, depressed, and neurotic Los Angeles residents. Ed (Enrico Colantoni) is a writer with a script currently in production and a play that is about to open. Ivan's writing partner Carl (David Hyde Pierce) is married to Lee (Catherine Keener), an unhappy Human Resources VP. Lee is having an affair with superstar actor Calvin (Blair Underwood), who is costarring with Francesca (Julia Roberts) in Carl and Ed's film. Lee's sister Linda (Mary McCormack) is a masseuse who is looking forward to an upcoming weekend rendezvous with a stranger she met on the Internet. That man just so happens to be Ed. Using this dizzying framework to explore the dysfunctional characters who inhabit the entertainment industry, FULL FRONTAL also works as a bold technical experiment. Incorporating muddy digital video (to capture "real life") mixed with 35mm film (to capture "the movie within the movie"), Soderbergh shows that even with an Oscar on the shelf, he's still an indie-minded director at heart. … more less -
FortressGenre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating R Production Year: 1993 Run Time: 95 mins Released By: Miramax Echo Bridge Cast: Christopher Lambert, Loryn Locklin, Jeffrey Combs, Kurtwood Smith, Lincoln Kilpatrick Director Stuart Gordon's contribution to the I've-seen-the-future-and-it-sucks genre, FORTRESS is a creative and rousing sci-fi adventure. It's 2018, and America is facing a terrible overpopulation crisis. To solve the problem, a strict limit has been set on the number of children a family can have: one. When John Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his wife, Karen (Loryn Locklin), lose their infant son, they try to have another illegally. However, they're caught and sent off to the Fortress, a supermaximum security prison from which escape is impossible. Despite the robot guards, the laser beams, the mindscanners, and the death devices planted in all inmates' stomachs, Brennick plans an escape with his wife anyway. Lambert is excellent as Brennick, the only reasonable man in an unreasonable world. Locklin is good as Karen, his wife and equal in strength of mind and will. Kurtwood Smith is gleefully evil as the sadistic prison director who is as emotionless as the machines that control him. Gordon imparts his graphic and detailed visual style to the film, as well as his usual strengths of strong character development and solid storytelling. FORTRESS is a great sci-fi escape movie that recalls THE RUNNING MAN and other prison-break films. … more less -
Hoax, TheGenre: Dramas Release Date: 05/07/2013 Rating R Production Year: 2007 Run Time: 116 mins Released By: Platinum Disc, Llc Cast: Richard Gere, Michael J. Burg, Julie Delpy, Hope Davis, Eli Wallach Richard Gere gives one of the best performances of his career in Lasse Hallström's vastly entertaining THE HOAX, based on true events. Gere stars as Clifford Irving, a struggling writer desperate to be a famous bestselling author. After his novel gets rejected, he concocts a crazy plot in which he convinces McGraw-Hill that he has been contacted by Howard Hughes in order to tell the official life story of the reclusive billionaire. With the help of his friend, nervous writer Dick Suskind (Alfred Molina), and Irving's artist wife, Edith (Marcia Gay Harden), he attempts to get away with one of the greatest literary hoaxes of the 20th century. He goes to elaborate lengths to pull the wool over the eyes of his editor, Andrea Tate (Hope Davis), as well as his publisher, Shelton Fisher (Stanley Tucci), and the managing editor of Life magazine, Ralph Graves (Zeljko Ivanek), who is offering big bucks to serialize the book. As Irving gets deeper and deeper into the lies, he begins to embody Hughes, mimicking the way he looks and talks. The film features excellent performances all around, including star turns by Eli Wallach as longtime Hughes employee Noah Dietrich (a part played by John C. Reilly in Martin Scorsese's THE AVIATOR) and Julie Delpy as Nina Van Pallandt, a former flame of Irving's whom he can't shake loose. Director Hallström (MY LIFE AS A DOG, CHOCOLAT, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES) shows a deft hand with the complex material; William Wheeler based the script in part on Clifford Irving's own memoir. The soundtrack prominently features Richie Havens's version of "Here Comes the Sun," along with songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival. … more less
