Just as New York City was the backdrop in Woody Allen's Manhattan,
the stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the writer/director's look
at the romantic adventures of Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett
Johansson). These two young American women spend a summer in Spain, where
they meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem, Academy Award winner for No
Country for Old Men) and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penélope
Cruz). Vicky is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina is a sexually
adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results
can only be described as chaotic. Co-starring Patricia Clarkson, Kevin Dunn
and Chris Messina. Official

This heartbreaking and hilarious Sundance Film Festival hit follows the lives
of four real teenagers—a jock, the popular girl, the artsy girl and the geek—in
one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school. We see
the insecurities, the cliques, the jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks,
and the struggle to make profound decisions about the future. With extraordinary
intimacy and a great deal of humor, the film captures the pressures of growing
up—pressures that come from one's peers, one's parents, and not least,
oneself. Filming daily for ten months, filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the
Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) developed a deep understanding of
her subjects. The result is a film that goes beyond the enduring stereotypes
of high school to render complex young people trying to find their way into
adulthood. Official

The guys who brought you Superbad reunite for a new action-comedy.
Lazy stoner Dale Denton (co-writer Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit
his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed; specifically,
a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only
witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous
drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express
at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the
weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and
Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering
from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their
trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. Directed
by David Gordon Green (All the Real Girls). Official

| The comedy hit of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival is the irreverent tale of one teacher's overzealous quest to mount a high school musical. Steve Coogan stars as Dana Marsch, a failed actor turned high school drama teacher. Shortchanged in the talent department, Dana still harbors ambitions and passions. At work, that is; his personal life, with his dissatisfied wife (Catherine Keener) and their border (David Arquette), leaves much to be desired. With his department under threat of closure, Dana conceives a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet—a lighthearted musical theatre extravaganza that will disdain both political correctness and dramatic credibility. Despite objections from school officials and outrage in the community, Dana will not be denied his freedom of artistic expression. Co-starring Amy Poehler and Elisabeth Shue. Directed by Andrew Fleming (Dick, The Craft), who co-wrote the screenplay with Pam Brady (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Team America: World Police). Official Web Site |

| 1970s Los Angeles. Nihilist Philosophy. Glam Rock. Drugs. Booze. Closeted Homosexuality. Dianetics. A Yen for Rock and Roll Immortality. A convergence of forces shaped the short, self-destructive life of Jan Paul Beahm, a fatherless boy raised by an alcoholic mother and abandoned by an older brother who died of a drug-overdose—a kid who reinvented himself coming out of a high school program for outcasts, as the one and only Darby Crash, the legendary lead singer of the seminal Los Angeles Punk band, The Germs. Shane West ("ER"), Bijou Phillips, Rick Gonzalez and Noah Segan star in a biopic that chronicles the rise of The Germs and their charismatic leader whose image—the contorted, screaming face and death grip on the microphone—has become an icon of the U.S. punk movement and a rapt influence on bands since. Darby's cultivated punk attitude, resplendent with the hardcore, infamous onstage self-mutilation antics and volatile energy that inspired the band's mesmerized followers to riot, ultimately banned The Germs from playing every venue in the greater Los Angeles area. Written and directed by Rodger Grossman. Official Web Site |
