A film following a married couple at different times in their relationship.

A psychic tire rolls around terrorizing a community with it’s powers.

 

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.
