The End
The last family of cavemen have stayed alive by staying in their cave as much as possible in Dreamworks' animated The Croods. Grug (Nicolas Cage)
has kept his family safe by being the strongest and by teaching them
to fear everything-- especially anything new-- but his willful daughter
Eep (Emma Stone) hates being cooped up in the dark cave. When Eep sneaks out one night and meets Guy (Ryan Reynolds),
a wanderer trying to outrun "The End," Grug wants to get rid him: a
stranger who uses fire and has a head full of new and frightening ideas
has no place in Grug's world. With The End closing in on them, The
Croods have to leave the cave and are forced to follow Guy's promise of
something new over the horizon... which is everything Eep wants, and
everything Grug fears. On DVD and Blu Ray.Playing fictionalized versions of themselves, Jay Baruchel visits his old friend Seth Rogen in Los Angeles in This Is The End, but even though Jay doesn't like LA or the Hollywood scene, Seth drags him to a party at James Franco's house. The only thing worse for Jay than being stuck at a show business party would be the apocalypse, which rends the ground, sets the hills on fire, kills most of the partiers, and leaves him trapped in Franco's house with Seth, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride. They hole up as long as they can, but the End of Days is knocking at their door, and with limited food and water, not even James Franco's house can keep them safe from the apocalypse outside. With Michael Cera. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Real Killers
When the Anchorage police recover handcuffed and kidnapped Cindy Paulson (Vanessa Hudgens), they simply turn her back onto the street in The Frozen Ground. Though the officers on the case wouldn't take the word of a teenage prostitute, Sgt Halcolmbe (Nicolas Cage) sees Cindy as the first real link between missing Alaska girls and Robert Hansen (John Cusack).
Based on the case to arrest and find evidence implicating Hansen, who
killed around twenty women over a twelve-year span, Halcolmbe sees Cindy
as his best hope in bringing Hansen to justice... but the one girl who
got away is Hansen's biggest threat, something that needs to be taken
care of if he wants to avoid jail. With Dean Norris.The three-part interview with Richard Kuklinski, the basis for the recent release of The Iceman, The Iceman Interviews collects the conversations Kuklinski filmed for HBO in 1992. Interviewed by a forensic psychologist, Kuklinski talks about his upbringing, his family life, his long history as a contract killer for the mob, and his relationship with murder and morality.
Documentaries
Exploring the over-80 table tennis championships, Ping Pong introduces 89-year-old athletic British Les, 100-year-old Australian Dot, chainsmoking Chinese Sun, and the rest of the 80+ table tennis contenders. Telling each player's story, the film explores both the contest itself and the competitive senior citizens that make up its culture.
Combining theories about the "real" meaning of Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining, Room 237 provides a platform for enthusiasts of the film to explain the hidden message of The Shining.
Each commenter asserts that their theory is obviously Kubrick's
intended meaning-- Kubrick being notoriously precise about even the
smallest details of his films-- but their theories range from The Shining being
Kubrick's apology for faking the moon landing, to a metaphor for sexual
repression and abuse, to an exploration of Native American genocide...
just to name a few. On DVD and Blu Ray.A glimpse inside what it takes to become a master sommelier, Somm documents four young men as they study every detail of wine for the Master Sommelier Exam. Honing their palettes to become expert wine tasters, the master sommelier hopefuls must also learn even the most trivial details of wine culture to have any chance of becoming masters. The film follows them as they obsess over every aspect of wine culture while striving to join wine's most elite group: The Court of Master Sommeliers.
Independents
Taking place in real time over the course of a Brooklyn bus ride, Michel Gondry's The We and The I assembles a group of teenage non-actors to create a naturalistic microcosm of New York life. Blurring the lines between character and actor, the film allows the kids to play off each other as they taunt, flirt, confront, and goad one another as their individual stories progress, but doesn't prevent their real lives from erupting on screen.When Nick gets dumped by his girlfriend, he leaves his New York home and retreats to his hometown of Rockford, Illinois in the romantic comedy Language of a Broken Heart. Staying with his wacky mother (Julie White) and reuniting with his childhood best friend (Ethan Cohn), Nick begins to mend his heartache when he meets a beautiful, free-spirited bookstore owner (Kate French).
An eccentric entrepreneur (Lance Henriksen) bankrolls a 13-year manned flight to the Jupiter moon of Europa in Astronaut: The Last Push, but an accident leaves astronaut Michael Forrest (Khary Payton)
alone in a crippled craft when the mission has barely begun. Stuck in
one compartment on his ship, Michael has to make what basic repairs he
can manage or end up adrift forever. With only limited contact from
mission control (Brian Baumgartner),
the astronaut struggles to keep his ship functioning... but as the
months drag on, his perspective on returning to earth begin to change.A highly equipped Hong Kong police van disappears in Cold War, taking weapons and equipment, and holding the officers hostage. As the police force fights to track down the missing van, save their men, and recover weapons they need to keep off the black market, two deputy commissioners battle for control of the rescue operation. The management deputy (Aaron Kwok) tries to control the situation through procedure, while the operations deputy (Tony Leung Ka Fai) has a more brute force approach, but whoever can solve the hostage crisis will ascend to run the Hong Kong police.
