Scheduled to open at around this time last year, the film was pulled and forgotten until the Digital Gym decided the time was at last right for Nina Geld (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) to have her say. If Sarah Silverman and Sam Kinison conceived a love child, it might look something …
Light-hearted, ham-handed caper film about a bounty hunter, a con artist, some diamonds, and a lottery ticket. Too brutal to be seen as funny, too shticky to be taken straight. With Ice Cube and Mike Epps; directed by Kevin Bray.
It’s all about the pacing in first-time director Neto Villalobos’ leisurely unfolding of a (game)cock and bull tale about a Costa Rican broomstick in security guard’s clothing and the friendships he derives after bantering a bantam out of his landlord. Chalo (Allan Cascante) is the type of charmer who’ll sit …
A lyrical, decades-spanning exploration across a woman's life in Mississippi, the feature debut from award-winning poet, photographer, and filmmaker Raven Jackson is a haunting and richly layered portrait, an ode to the generations of people and places that shape us. Starring Charleen McClure, Moses Ingram, Reginald Helms Jr., Zainab Jah, …
Animated animal tale, about a flea-bitten mutt short-changed on devotion to humans, and embroiled in a turf war with a no-good cur. The canine protagonist's beyond-and-back experience, after being "rubbed out" by his rival, is decently inventive: he snatches his assigned time-piece from an administrator in the celestial Hall of …

To put some distance between his model and himself, Bruno Bozzetto, the Italian animator, elects to flip-flop the values of the Disney movie -- the naivism of the animation and the solemnity about classical music. Bozzetto's cartoon sequences are both gamy and preachy, and …

The structure leans heavily on reporters — whether conducting interviews, appearing …
Marcus Cobbledick and Dan Jones documentary follows GreenEdge, Australia's first ProTour cycling team.
Romantic mystery starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst. The story is loosely based on real experiences of Robert Durst, a real estate heir whose first wife disappeared in 1982.
A struggling actor remains in a slump, while his successful brother has his own show. The family soon finds itself under the same roof again, where every corner reveals secrets and long-held resentments. Directed by Haroula Rose, starring Becky Ann Baker, Josh Radnor, and Rob Huebel.
Hip horror movie which, when not too wrapped up in tracking down an overgrown reptile, throws in some cinematic "in" jokes ("Harry Lime Lives" scrawled on a sewer wall) and some digs at industrial research, rich people, and male chauvinism (Henry Silva, nice to see, as a Great White Hunter). …
Director M. Rajesh has produced an unfunny rom-com about a girl who can't sing very well?
