Starring Joan Rivers, Don Rickles,
Kathy Griffin, and Melissa Rivers
Whodda thunk? This film took me completely by surprise.
A wonderful, poignant and very funny film; do yourself
a favor and see it.
A PIECE OF WORK takes the audience on a year long
ride with legendary comedian Joan Rivers in her
76th year of life. Peeling away the mask of an iconic
comedian and exposing the struggles, sacrifices
and joy of living life as a ground breaking female
performer. The film is an emotionally surprising
and revealing portrait of one the most hilarious
and long-standing career women ever in the business. |

A dulcetly crazy, certifiably hilarious
and eerily mysterious little comedy. The film's
structure is a skewed triangle. John C. Reilly is
John, still a lost soul seven years after his divorce.
(It doesn't help that his ex, played by Catherine
Keener, is about to remarry.) All the same, he's
trying to find himself in the wistful hope that
there's someone to find, and Marisa Tomei's Molly
convinces him that there is. Coming out of nowhere
at a party John has forced himself to go to, she
is everything he could have wished for—smart,
kind, pretty and, in his ecstatic phrase, a sex
angel in the bargain. The only complication is her
tangled relationship with her 21-year-old son, Cyrus,
who lives at home and is played by Jonah Hill. .Starring
John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei, Catherine
Keener, Matt Walsh, and Katie Aselton |

In the highly anticipated second
installment of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy
(following The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Lisbeth
Salander (Noomi Rapace) is a wanted woman. A researcher
and a Millennium journalist about to expose the
truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally
murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon.
Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behavior
makes her an official danger to society—but
no one can find her anywhere. Meanwhile, Mikael
Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), editor-in-chief of
Millennium, will not believe what he hears on the
news. Knowing Salander to be fierce when fearful,
he is desperate to get to her before she is cornered
and alone. As he fits the pieces of the puzzle together,
he comes up against some hardened criminals, including
the chainsaw-wielding 'blond giant' (Micke Spreitz)—a
fearsomely huge thug who can feel no pain. Digging
deeper, Blomkvist also unearths some heart-wrenching
facts about Salander’s past life. Committed
to psychiatric care aged 12, declared legally incompetent
at 18, this is a messed-up young woman who is the
product of an unjust and corrupt system. Yet Lisbeth
is more avenging angel than helpless victim. (Fully
subtitled) |

First it was a mine that exploded
in the middle of the Moroccan desert. Years later,
it was a stray bullet that lodged in his brain...
Bazil doesn't have much luck with weapons. The first
made him an orphan, the second holds him on the
brink of sudden, instant death. Released from the
hospital after his accident, Bazil is homeless.
Luckily, our inspired and gentle-natured dreamer
is quickly taken in by a motley crew of junkyard
dealers living in a veritable Ali Baba's cave. The
group’s talents and aspirations are as surprising
as they are diverse: Remington, Calculator, Buster,
Slammer, Elastic Girl, Tiny Pete and Mama Chow.
Then one day, walking by two huge buildings, Bazil
recognizes the logos of the weapons manufacturers
that caused all of his misfortune. He sets out to
take revenge, with the help of his faithful gang
of wacky friends. Underdogs battling heartless industrial
giants, our gang relive the battle of David and
Goliath, with all the imagination and fantasy of
Buster Keaton. |

The first film by renowned graffiti
artist Banksy, became the hottest ticket at the
2010 Sundance Film Festival where it made its world
debut. Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global
reputation whose work can be seen on walls from
post—hurricane New Orleans to the separation
barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding
his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so
far resisted all attempts to be captured on film.
Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible
true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper
turned documentary maker attempted to locate and
befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the
camera back on its owner – with spectacular
results. The film contains exclusive footage of
Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the
world's most infamous graffiti artists at work,
on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it,
"It's basically the story of how one man set
out to film the un—filmable. And failed. |
