A pair of aging stickup men try to get the old gang back together for one last hurrah before one of the guys takes his last assignment - to kill his comrade. Director: Fisher Stevens Stars: Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Christopher Walken, Julianna Margulies
The aged assassins/last hurrah playbook is wielded yet again; this time for a go-round with three actors who could probably do it better without a script. And this is a scaled down theatrical event at best; the second consecutive low-profile release from Lionsgate, who took a similar path for The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. &n

After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy. Director: Walter Hill Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater, Sung Kang
By the numbers: Sylvester Stallone, with his two successful character revivals and the creation of a new, all-star franchise, is still a bigger action star than Jason Statham. And while there's nothing new here on paper (cop, hitman, vendettas, unlikely alliance) and Jason Momoa failed to relaunch Conan the Barbarian, the return of director Walter Hill stokes my initial interest in B to the H. Interesting to note, though, is just how badly Ultima reduta, Arnold Schwarzenegger's leading-man return, whiffed at the box office. &n

Certificate PG-13 98 min - Comedy | Horror | Romance
After a highly unusual zombie saves a still-living girl from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion events that might transform the entire lifeless world. Director: Jonathan Levine Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, John Malkovich, Analeigh Tipton
Better than The Wackness or even 50/50 is director Jonathan Levine's first film, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, so I'm happy to see him returning to the horror genre for what could be the next undead date movie -- the sub-genre introduced by Zombieland. Maybe this will become the undead version of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. &

Certificate R 97 min Four friends hit the road to LA to compete in the Cyberbowl Video Game Championship, but will they be able to compete with the worst hangovers of their lives? Director: Blake Freeman Stars: Blake Freeman, Mindy Sterling, Jason Mewes, Matt Shively
I'll have to check with my gamer friends to see if this for-the-fans comedy makes any inroads, or if the conversations they have while deep in some alternative reality are funnier. Zelda Williams -- daughter of Robin -- has a supporting role as first-world lust object. &n

Certificate R 100 min - Drama Metascore: 34/100 (13 reviews) A political strategist juggling three clients questions whether or not to take the high road as the ugly side of his work begins to haunt him. Director: Bill Guttentag Stars: Rob Lowe, Jamie Chung, Julie Bowen, Richard Schiff
"West Wing" devotees should note the reunion of Rob Lowe and Richard Schiff for this political comedy -- even if its marketing materials reveal the movie was set to be released in conjunction with the 2012 presidential election but was quietly slipped into the early 2013 calendar. Documentary vet Bill Guttentag directs and co-writes. &nbs

90 min - Documentary Metascore: 74/100 (16 reviews) A documentary on the indigenous people living in Bakhtia, the heart of the Siberian Taiga; some 300 villagers whose daily routines have barely changed over the last century and live according to their own values and cultural traditions. Directors: Dmitry Vasyukov | Werner Herzog Stars: Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog's nature documentaries have their own category of awesomeness, as well as a niche audience who see them regardless of their subject matter. Happy People, which Herzog co-directed with Dmitry Vasyukov, has laid relatively low on the festival circuit over the past two years, and seems more quietly spectacular than his recent higher profile work. ...

84 min - Drama | Romance Metascore: 66/100 (17 reviews) The sequel to Yossi & Jagger finds Dr. Yossi Gutmann reminiscing about his love ten years after his death. However, as he encounters a group of young soldiers, one of them, Tom, reignites his romantic feelings. Director: Eytan Fox Stars: Ohad Knoller, Shlomo Sadan, Oz Zehavi, Lior Ashkenazi
A decade after the tragic conclusion of Yossi & Jagger, director Eytan Fox catches us up with Yossi Hoffman, who is now a doctor, still closeted, and in mourning. The original film struck such a chord with audiences, the mixed reactions to the sequel come as little surprise. But let's hear it for the great-looking Ohad Knoller, a beefier version of Jeremy Renner who is allowed to eat carbohydrates. &

A new street drug that sends its users across time and dimensions has one drawback: some people return as no longer human. Can two college dropouts save humankind from this silent, otherworldly invasion? Director: Don Coscarelli Stars: Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes, Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown
Don Coscarelli's legion of fans probably know already that Angus Scrimm, the haunting grave-robber from Coscarelli's seminal Phantasm saga, appears in the director's first film in a decade. Armed with a bugged-out premise, Paul Giamatti, and the ever-increasing preference for video on demand, perhaps other innovative and hard-to-define from the Coscarelli Era will resurrect their careers as well. &

Saif Ali Khan returns to the role of Ranvir with a higher-profile cast for this sequel to the 2008 hit. Bipasha Basu will somehow reprise her role of the deceased Sonia, too. &

Certificate R 94 min - Comedy Metascore: 19/100 (22 reviews) A series of interconnected short films follows a washed-up producer as he pitches insane story lines featuring some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Directors: Elizabeth Banks | Steven Brill | Steve Carr | Rusty Cundieff | James Duffy | Griffin Dunne | Peter Farrelly | Patrik Forsberg | Will Graham | James Gunn | Brett Ratner | Jonathan van Tulleken | Bob Odenkirk Stars: Emma Stone, Stephen Merchant, Richard Gere, Liev Schreiber
This is like the director's version of New Year's Eve, I guess. Sounds great in theory, and a potentially wasted opportunity to think beyond the big screen in terms of how to distribute such a project. In other words: a YouTube event? Huge traffic with lots of Likes and all the things that matter in the digital age. As a traditional release? Even I might wait to stream it. &nbs

Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist. Director: Taylor Hackford Stars: Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte
In case you're losing interest in Jason Statham, this time around Jennifer Lopez is by his side and there's a Robin Hood theme running through the narrative. Sorta. ... Read more »
Certificate R 88 min - Action | Fantasy | Horror Metascore: 21/100 (24 reviews) Hansel & Gretel are bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past. Director: Tommy Wirkola Stars: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen
For a minute there, we wondered if this one would ever get off the ground. To put it in perspective: development on writer-director Tommy Wirkola's follow up to the entertaining Død snø dates back to when David Fincher was circling Black Hole as his post-Benjamin Button option. Fast forward through all the actresses who've come and gone as Gretel (Diane Kruger, Eva Green, Noomi Rapace) and now we're just nervous that the movie's horror-comedy angle might prevent it from be

In a village on the French Opal Coast, a drifter engages in a perplexing relationship with a young woman who has suffered abuse. Director: Bruno Dumont Stars: David Dewaele, Alexandra Lemâtre, Christophe Bon, Juliette Bacquet
Director Bruno Dumont (Hadewijch/Twentynine Palms/L'humanité) specializes in quasi-faith allegories, spontaneous acts of violence, long shots, stillness, and other interminable acts of outsider filmmaking. Longtime producer Rachid Bouchareb is at Dumont's side for his latest; given Bouchareb's increased cache and Satan's wildly mixed reviews, consider the bait laid for the art-house sect. &nbs

An 11-year-old boy gets a crash course in what it means to be a man when he spends a day with the ex-convict uncle he idolizes. Director: Sheldon Candis Stars: Common, Michael Rainey Jr., Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover
Common is more of a brand than an actor or rapper these days, but we have heard good things about his co-star, Michael Rainey Jr., in his debut role. Rainey Jr. will next appear as the younger version of Forest Whitaker's title character in The Butler. &n

In a city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure: Mayor Nicholas Hostetler. Director: Allen Hughes Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jeffrey Wright
From Menace II Society through The Book of Eli, Allen and Albert Hughes always worked in tandem as directors and producers, but Allen has gone solo for this presumably hard-boiled genre film written by Brian Tucker, who has no produced screenplays to his credit but has two projects in development -- a remake of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Basic Instinct soundalike called The Arrangement. Looking at Mark Wahlberg's upcoming movies, this one almost gets lost in the shuffle; for Russell Crowe, it's a pivotal role between a potential Oscar nomina

Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they? Director: Andrés Muschietti Stars: Jessica Chastain, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Megan Charpentier, Isabelle Nélisse
Looks like Guillermo del Toro is in proud-papa mode as he mentors filmmaker Andres Muschietti, who here adapts his short into what could be one of the most effective spins on the admittedly tired haunted-kid horror story. And we totally love Jessica Chastain's Dragon Tattoo makeover. &

A chronicle of the decade-long hunt for al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at the hands of the Navy S.E.A.L. Team 6 in May 2011. Director: Kathryn Bigelow Stars: Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Mark Strong
Kathryn Bigelow's never known the level of controversy her follow-up to The Hurt Locker has generated. Even before cameras rolled on the recreation of the events leading up to the assassination of Osama bin Laden, a government watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against the CIA and the Department of Defense since details of the reported meeting between the agencies, Bigelow, and writer Mark Boal have not been released via the Freedom of Information Act. Seems like the filmmakers have been privy to classified information. And that situation

In London, a military plane crashes leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware that the city is in lockdown, a group of people become trapped inside a storage facility with a highly unwelcome guest. Director: Johannes Roberts Stars: Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock
Noel Clarke grinds out a handful of microbudget films a year in the UK, though in the US he's more the kind of performer who causes people to use this site to answer the question: What movie was he in? Magnolia Pictures follows their now-standard procedure of releasing the movie on VOD a month or so before its theatrical run, which is proving to be a savvy business model for the indie studio. In terms of the film itself, the premise is so ingenious we're surprised no one has thought of it bef

This South Korean disaster flick found its audience over the holidays, becoming a huge hit on its native soil. Here in the States, it could be another indie breakout for distributor CJ Entertainment, the studio behind recent successful promotions of Neuk-dae-so-nyeon and Gwanghae, Wangyidoen namja. &

Harry is an industrialist who loves his daughter Bijlee, and the bond they share with Harry's man friday, Matru. Bijlee's plan to wed the son of a politician, however, brings twists and turns in the lives of Matru, Bijlee and Mandola. Director: Vishal Bhardwaj Stars: Pankaj Kapur, Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma, Arya Babbar
Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma are Bollywood crossover stars, while their elder, Pankaj Kapur, is a respected contemporary of Om Puri. Their combined appeal should turn director Vishal Bhardwa's latest into his biggest Stateside hit to date. Also, I wish that my typical day looked just like this poster. &nb

When three redneck brothers agree to help a woman save her godson from an abusive stepfather, they become targets on the run from an odd cast of characters. Director: Barry Battles Stars: Billy Bob Thornton, Eva Longoria, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Clayne Crawford
This grindhouse-cinema tribute looks fun enough; too bad you can't drink and smoke in any theater. Seems ultimately unmissable for Billy Bob Thornton's performance since he barely says anything in the trailer and completely owns those 2.5 minutes. &n

Dave returns to his hometown on the Massachusetts coast for his father's funeral, where his reunion with two old friends provides a healthy dose of reality. Director: Tom O'Brien Stars: Chris Messina, Rich Sommer, Tom O'Brien, Sarah Paulson
Chris Messina and Sarah Paulson are the best-known names in this indie drama, but there's an interesting story to be found in Messina's creative relationship with Tom O'Brien, the writer/director/co-star of Fairhaven. Both actors came up in New York City's theater scene, and as Messina found himself being typecast in Hollywood after his "Six Feet Under" breakthrough, he and O'Brien began working on a script that eventually became this project. ...

A young man recounts the way he blackmailed his fellow classmates into contributing to his literary magazine. Director: Brian Dannelly Stars: Chris Colfer, Rebel Wilson, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney
Unlike most of his "Glee" schoolmates, Chris Colfer might put the New Directions era behind him and wade into the world of filmmaking; his screenplay has earned favorable comparisons to everyone's favorite high school comedies, and there's the built-in cool factor knowing that his character narrates the story from the grave. That's totally Winona-approved. ... Read more »
