After a lull a few weeks back the schedule is back to being crowded with five new films and an early preview of the Buffalo International Film Festival - screening Company in honor of Buffalo's Curtain Up!
at the Art House
Short Term 12 - The buzz amongst the bloggophere is the SXSW hit Short Term 12 is a powerful winner. A drama centered around a women (Brie Larson), a supervisor at a home for at-risk teens. This looks like another powerful drama about young folks, following the wonderful The Spectacular Now.
screening: Dipson Amherst
Thanks for Sharing - An ensemble comedy directed by Stuart Blumberg (co-writer of The Kids Are All Right) about a group of recovering sex addicts. Staring Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim Robins, Patrick Fugit and P!nk.
screening: Dipson Eastern Hills
Salinger - Exploring the legend of JD Salinger, filmmaker Shane Salerno aims to demystify literature's most mysterious figure featuing interviews with like A-list celebrities (Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack) and modern literary figures (including Tom Wolfe)
screening: Dipson Eastern Hills
at the Multiplex
Prisoners - From Canadian director Denis Villeneuve (whose last film is the breathtaking epic Incendies), Prisioners, has been garnering Oscar buzz out of Toronto. An ensemble drama staring Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo, Maria Bello and Paul Dano - I've told although the trailer appears to tell it all, it's just scratching the surface of the 155 minute drama. This will probably be amazing....Screening: Dipson Market Arcade, Dipson Flix, Regal Transit, Regal Hollywood 12, Regal Quaker Crossing, Transit Drive In, Regal Elmwood, AMC Maple Ridge
Battle of the Year 3D - Starring rapper / wife beater Chris Brown - Battle of the Year 3D probably delivers what it promises: great dancing, decent music and likely sequences worth of the 3D upcharge (Dance movies - although rarely good - are perhaps the best in 3D). It will probably deliver exactly what it sets out to...
Screening: Dipson Flix, Regal Quaker Crossing, Regal Transit, AMC Maple Ridge, Regal Hollywood 12, AMC Maple Ridge
