The Way Back
Director: Peter Weir
Written By: Peter Weir
Starring: Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong, Jim Sturgess
After a long hiatus, master filmmaker, Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, Master and Commander) is back in the game. Here, along with a strong cast, Weir tells the true story of a group of soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940.
Restless
Director: Gus Van Sant
Written By: Jason Lew
Starring: Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper
This overview was stolen from IMDB as I was too lazy to reiterate in an alternate fashion (But I give credit where credit is due. Anyway, it was probably written by an executive anyway…so lets burn their fucking ties): The story of a terminally ill teenage girl who falls for a boy who likes to attend funerals and their encounters with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze pilot from WWII.
Monsters
Director: Gareth Edwards
Written By: Gareth Edwards
Starring: Whitney Able and Scoot McNairy
Director and effects wizard Edwards apparently make this feature $15,000 (in what currency I do not know). And for that little bank, the film looks slick. Edwards filmed the feature gorilla-style and completed the CG effect work himself. The story takes places six years after the alien invasion of Earth and follows a journalist who is hired to smuggle an American tourist through Mexico (which is now an infected zone) to the US border.
