THE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP

WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY
Spoofing Walk the Line and other stories of rags to riches music stars, Jake Kasdan’s comedy stars John C. Reilly as a stupid and not especially talented pop music legend who touched the greats of the industry with Forest Gump-like regularity. Co-written by Judd Apatow.

FUNNY GAMES U.S.

Michael Haneke's English language remake of his 1997 Austrian film presents a horror/thriller, but without the usual audience payoffs. Don't expect Naomi Watts or Tim Roth - the good guys - to emerge particualrly happy. Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet play the not-so-good guys.

PENELOPE

Christina Ricci and James McAvoy star in this fable about a young woman who has always found herself mired in bad luck – perhaps even cursed. She figures it’s time to break the streak and find her true self. Directed by Mark Palansky.

PENELOPE

Brian Webster's take:
"If you’re looking for something a little bit offbeat, Penelope won’t send you diving out any windows to escape its quirky humour and gentle moralizing."

UNTRACEABLE

Brian Webster's take:
"Neither terrible nor memorable, Untraceable is the sort of movie that lives up to its name – within an hour of seeing it, memories of it will vanish without a trace."
