Cut Bank

Cut Bank is a clever morality tale, a visceral thriller, and ultimately a surprising story of redemption. It is an original story populated by well-drawn, unique characters that manages to be both contemporary and classic at the same time.

By the Sea

In its style and its treatment of themes of the human experience, By the Sea starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is reminiscent of European cinema and theater of the ’60s and ’70s—with its concentrated, lean storytelling style, spare dialogue and intimate, often disquieting atmosphere.

Shark Night 3D

Shark Night 3D is a 3D horror-thriller film directed by David R. Ellis. It stars Sara Paxton, Alyssa Diaz, Dustin Milligan, Katharine McPhee and Joel David Moore. The film will be released in Real D 3D and Digital 3D.

Of Gods and Men

Of Gods and Men is a French drama film directed by Xavier Beauvois, starring Lambert Wilson and Michael Lonsdale. Its original French title is Des hommes et des dieux, which means “Men and gods” and refers to a motto from the Bible shown at the beginning of the film. It centers on the monastery of Tibhirine, where Trappist monks lived in harmony with the largely Muslim population of Algeria, until seven of them were beheaded in a still unclear incident in 1996. The screenplay focuses on the time leading up to their death. Principal photography took place at an abandoned monastery in Morocco, with careful attention to authenticity.
