Dangerous Questions
A 1940s hero adapting to the modern world, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is S.H.I.E.L.D's top agent, donning his Captain America uniform and heading into operations with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Rogers is used to taking orders and carrying out missions, but he begins to doubt his commanding officer, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson),
is telling him the whole truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is on the verge of a
world-changing project, spearheaded by Fury and the head of the World
Security Council (Robert Redford),
but Rogers' growing doubts about the consequences make him ask the
kinds of questions that make him a target. The agency's secrets come to
haunt them all: Director Fury is attacked, Rogers and Black Widow are on
the run, and the only person they can trust is a veteran (Anthony Mackie) committed to public service.

been working for, all the while being hunted by an unstoppable assassin
known only as The Winter Soldier. On DVD, Blu Ray, and 3D Blu.

leads a team of spies, soldiers, and scientists through missions on the
fringes of Marvel's larger, theatrically released stories. Together,
they secure the superweapons, fight the mad scientists, and repel
otherworldly threats that aren't being handled by Iron Man or Thor.
Their endeavors intertwine directly with the plots of Marvel's major
motion pictures, and cross-over characters between the Avengers'
expanded universe.
Mickey and Bird (Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Turturro) work in a meat packing plant in the fringes of mob life in God's Pocket when their lives are upended by the mysterious death of Mickey's son (Caleb Landry Jones). Mickey's wife (Christina Hendricks)

investigate... but digging up the truth not only puts Mickey in danger,
but threatens everyone around him. Framed by the narration of a
journalist (Richard Jenkins)
celebrated for his stories about life in the tiny town of God's Pocket,
Micky's tragicomic adventure unfolds as the reporter gets pulled into
the story he was supposed to be telling.

scheduled stops, and when the train's guard goes missing and their speed
keeps increasing the passengers know what is happening: their train is

together to find a way to come to a stop before they fly off the rails.
With Iddo Goldberg.
Kelly and Jim (Alexie Gilmore and Bryce Johnson) are a couple hoping to merge their romantic getaway with Jim's attempt to make an amateur Bigfoot documentary in Bobcat Goldthwait's Willow Creek
when their outing takes a sinister turn. Beginning by interviewing
Bigfoot-siting locals in the town of Willow Creek, the couple eventually
head into the woods. Though they don't actually expect to find
anything, the townsfolk's lore starts to seem alarmingly real, and their
farcical investigation may have put them in very real danger.
Surviving the Everyday World
Jack (Clive Owen) is a combative, alcoholic poet who's in danger of losing his teaching job at a prep school in Fred Schepisi's Words and Pictures. A devout champion of the written world, his nemesis is Dina (Juliette Binoche), the school's new art teacher who values images over the written word. Though neither of them can really do what they love-- he's drunk away most of his talent; she's suffering from arthritis and can barely hold a paintbrush-- their quick fire, Hepburn/Tracy back-and-forth reignites both of their passions and drives them out of their unfulfilling ruts. With Bruce Davidson.
Martin Sharp (Pierce Brosnan)
was fired from his job as a high profile TV personality after a fling
with an underage girl and sees only one outcome for his life: he climbs
to the top of a London skyscraper on New Year's Eve intending to leap to
his death in A Long Way Down. When he steps onto the ledge, Martin discovers three other jumpers: a manic-depressive girl (Imogen Poots) needing to escape her malaise, a pizza delivery boy (Aaron Paul) who doesn't want his brain cancer to have the last word, and the single mom (Toni Collette)
of a disabled son. They make a pact not to follow through on their
suicides until Valentine's Day, but Martin uses their story to get back
on television. Soon the "Top Tower Four" are celebrities, but will their
newfound fame be enough to keep any of them from stepping back out onto
a ledge?
An ensemble film about disaffected youth, Palo Alto centers around Teddy and his best friend Fred (Nat Wolff),
highschool students who have no direction beyond smashing things and
getting wasted at parties at parentless households. Their sometimes
companion, and Teddy's object of desire, is comparatively put-together
April (Emma Roberts),
who is still lost and confused in a world of permissive parents,
college applications, and pushy guidance counselors. None of them know
how to articulate what is wrong, or even identify what is missing from
their lives, but they struggle with their personal tragedies as they try
to decide on a future. With James Franco.
Documentary
Broadcast journalist Mike Boettcher embedded himself with the
Army's 101st Airborne Division to record a troop-level documentary of
2011's Operation Strong Eagle III and produce The Hornet's Nest.
Immersed in the apolitical experience of troops on the ground, daily
soldier life, firefights, and the process of survival in the Kunar
Province of Afghanistan. Building to an attack on a Taliban stronghold--
an operation that was supposed to be executed in a single day--
Boettcher films the unfolding event as it stretches over nine days, and
the effect is has on the troops in the fight.
Tackling to rise in childhood obesity in America over the last few decades, Fed Up
launches an investigation into the ubiquity of sugar in processed
foods. Mixing footage of experts, scientists and nutritionists, with
families affected by high sugar intake trying to live healthier lives,
the film explores how much sugar makes it into the average American
diet, and how it can be avoided.
Unearthing the mystery of the six people who settled a previously uninhabited island off the coast of Ecuador in the 1920s, The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden
tells the story of a Nietzsche-obsessed German doctor and his mistress
who staked a claim on small, Galapagos island. Their private island
expanded when the Wittmer family (father, mother, and young son)
arrived, dreaming of a Swiss Family Robinson adventure, followed by
provocateur "Baroness" Eloise Von Wagner, her two lovers, and plenty of
media attention. The history and mystery of Eloise's disappearance are
presented through historical clips and readings (by Cate Blanchett and Diane Kruger, among others) of the community's diaries and correspondence.New this week in our TV New Releases:
