Now Playing (09/07)

Ahhh, Fall movies. A (brief) respite from sequels and CGI budgets as big as actor salaries

L I M I T E D
The Bubble -Eytan Fox (Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger), one of international cinema's bright young directors returns with another culture clashed relationship drama. Starring Ohan Knoller (Yossi of the fine gay romantic drama Yossi & Jagger) and there's even a cameo by Israel's finest Lior Askhenazi too. (trailer embedded below)
Fierce People -Wasn't this supposed to open two years ago? Diane Lane plays a massage therapist. Are you on that table?
Hatchet - more gore if that's what you're looking for
The Hunting Party -Journalist temptations. Richard Gere offers Terrence Howard (with The Squid and the Whale's Jesse Eisneberg in tow) an exclusive in Bosnia. They're going deep into hostile territory for the story
In the Shadow of the Moon - buzzy doc on multiple Apollo missions. Oscar contender?
I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With Written and directed by and starring Jeff Garlin in a romantic comedy about women and food. Fun cast includes: Sarah Silverman, Bonnie Hunt, Amy Sedaris, Dan Castellaneta, Wallace Langham, Roger Bart and Paul Mazursky
Romance & Cigarettes -Delayed by two years and the buzz is ... well... but you know you wanna see Kate on the big screen jumping around in her bra and mini (clip below, right). When The Winslet lets loose, you buy a ticket. That's the rule.

The Brothers Solomon -Do you think Will Arnett misses Arrested Development?
3:10 to Yuma -A Western from James Mangold (Walk the Line). Russell Crowe and Christian Bale pull out their pistols...
Shoot 'Em Up ...as do Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti in an apparently gonzo actioner. Monica Bellucci is The Girl. I guess summer is sticking around for another couple of weeks. Nevertheless the gonzo sensibility of this one might win it devotees.
