OPENING THIS WEEK: 10/4/2013

In addition to the Buffalo International Film Festival, the Queen City welcomes six new titles - including two sports documentaries, three films with all-star casts and a Bollywood title. An awful lot to see - including the expansion of Metallica: Through the Never seeding its IMAX screen and heading down the hall to a standard theater in Real D 3D.


at the Art House

Ballin' at the Graveyard - Not sure about this one, a pick-up basketball documentary hitting Dipson Amherst (which would seem more fitting down at Market Arcade) - hopefully its better than its trailer suggestions - the filmmakers will be in attendance on Friday night.

Screening: Dipson Amherst



Parkland - An all star cast including Zac Effron, James Badge Dale and Paul Giamatti start in a docu-drama that bowed last month in Toronto. Centered around the Parkland hospital moments after JFK's assassination and shot with what looks like period-accurate 16MM.

Screening: Dipson Eastern Hills


at the Multiplex

Gravity - Another title with significant buzz out of TIFF this year, Alfonso Cuaron's thrilling (looking) space saga has been called by Forbes a movie that can save the multiplex experience. Hitting IMAX 3D (probably where it should be seen) this looks amazing.

Screening: Regal Elmwood, Regal Walden Galleria, AMC Maple Ridge, Regal Quaker Crossing, Regal Transit, Dipson Flix, Hollywood 12



Runner Runner - What looks like a classic kind of B-Movie thriller with Timberlake, Affleck, and (I hate to admit this - someone I've got a crush on) Gemma Arterton centered around an off-shore gambling racket. It could be fun.

Screening: Regal Elmwood, Dipson Flix, Regal Transit, Regal Hollywood 12, Regal Walden Galleria, Regal Quaker Crossing, AMC Maple Ridge



Generation Iron - From the producers of Pumping Iron comes a new look at body building - will director Vlad Yudin ask the hard questions and catch someone injecting horse seman into their ass? Who knows.

Screening: Regal Quaker Crossing, Regal Walden Galleria



Bollywood in Buffawood

Besharam - A comedy about a street smart mechanic in love - oh Bollywood - you're often just as original as Hollywood.

Screening: Regal Elmwood
