 All Is Lost (2013) Certificate PG-13 106 min - Action | Adventure | Drama After a collision with a shipping container at sea, a resourceful sailor finds himself, despite all efforts to the contrary, staring his mortality in the face. Director: J.C. Chandor Stars: Robert Redford From the sound of the reviews coming out of Cannes, what might be lost is J.C. Chandor's momentum after Margin Call proved to be a theatrical success and VOD phenomenon. Seems Chandor and Robert Redford were going for a meditative thriller but might have wound up with something a little more on the aggravating/disappointing side. Still, we don't rule out a re-edit and more welcoming acceptance when the film hits theaters. &nbs

 Escape Plan (2013) Certificate R 115 min - Action | Mystery | Thriller When a structural-security authority finds himself set up and incarcerated in the world's most secret and secure prison, he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside. Director: Mikael Håfström Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 50 Cent, Vincent D'Onofrio Whether this is one of your most-anticipated action movies of the year, or if you think the premise sounds like a metaphor for either Stallone or Schwarzenegger's chosen profession, the real downward spiral being felt here has to be by director Mikael Häfström.

 The Fifth Estate (2013) Certificate R 128 min - Biography | Drama | Thriller A dramatic thriller based on real events that reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century's most fiercely debated organization. Director: Bill Condon Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Brühl, Carice van Houten, Alicia Vikander The first Internet-maverick profile since The Social Network worked hard to create a a Zero Dark Thirty-level controversy/conversation with its marketing campaign. Julian Assange himself denounced an early version of the script, saying its structure was built on a series of lies - though it's hard to know which screenplay he saw, as DreamWorks used two different books as the basis of the filmed story. Don't expect his voice to be silent at any stage unless he wants it to be. In lig

 Carrie (2013) Certificate R 100 min - Drama | Horror A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother, who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. Director: Kimberly Peirce Stars: Chloë Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Gabriella Wilde, Portia Doubleday It's unsurprising to see Brian De Palma's creation applied to modern times, the age of heightened awareness of peer-to-peer bullying. I'll spare you any commentary on the remake trend and say: at least the casting choices are ace. Though it will be completely different in tone, I will use Chlöe Moretz's performance as Carolyn Stoddard in Dark Shadows as the litmus test for her stepping into a character immortalized by Sissy Spacek.

 Cassadaga (2011) Certificate R 108 min - Horror | Thriller A deaf woman who resurrects the ghost of a murdered young woman is forced by the spirit to a serial killer who turns his female victims into marionette dolls. Director: Anthony DiBlasi Stars: Kelen Coleman, Avis-Marie Barnes, Kevin Alejandro, Louise Fletcher We're not sure why it's taken so long for Anthony DiBlasi's 2011 indie horror movie to be released, especially since he gained a form of notoriety and cult success with his involvement in the world of Clive Barker's Book of Blood and The Midnight Meat Train. Ah, right, it must be the fact that star Kelen Coleman's profile has been raised thanks to "The Mindy Project" and "The Newsroom". Also, there's an Oscar winner amongst the cast ... &nbs

 Sweetwater (2013) 95 min - Thriller | Western In the late 1800s, a fanatical religious leader, a renegade Sheriff, and a former prostitute collide in a blood triangle on the rugged plains of the New Mexico Territory. Director: Logan Miller Stars: Ed Harris, January Jones, Jason Isaacs, Eduardo Noriega If you've ever thought that January Jones might be the Lana Del Ray of the acting world, this pulpy Western that had an inauspicious debut at Sundance might confirm your believes. On the other side of the acting spectrum, Ed Harris has some connection to brothers Logan and Noah Miller; he starred in the filmmaking duo's debut, Touching Home. &n

 CBGB (2013) Certificate R 101 min - Drama | Music A look at the New York City punk-rock scene and the venerable nightclub, CBGB. Director: Randall Miller Stars: Alan Rickman, Malin Akerman, Justin Bartha, Richard de Klerk Earlier this year, New York City's Metropolitan Museum earned some eye rolls and jeers for its exhibit, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, and a notorious gala celebration, where Anne Hathaway tried out bleachy blonde hair and then-pregnant Kim Kardashian's floral print Riccardo Tisci dress found her edited out of the pages of Vogue. Next up: Bottle Shock director Randall Miller's latest film casts some of the tamest performers around to recreate an era when Lower Manhattan didn't look like a giant outdoor shopping mall. &

 '60 Minutes' Criticized Over Benghazi Apology: 'Wholly Inadequate,' 'Leaves Many Questions' The newsmagazine "needs to do an 'Anatomy of a Mistake' piece on its Benghazi story, not just a 'gee, we're sorry' mini-apology," writes Politico's Roger Simon, while The Nation's Greg Mitchell tweets: "We learned more about the Beatles and their wives in 1964 than we did about Benghazi scandal on '60 Minutes' tonight." Lara Logan issued her second apology over 60 Minutes' botched Benghazi report Sunday night, but many media commentators didn't believe it was enough. Logan anchored the report that led the 60 Minutes broadcast in question, which aired Oct. 27 and relied heavily on an interview with security contractor Dylan Davies, whose credibility has since been seriously undermined by conflicting reports about his whereabouts on the night of the attack. &nb

 Sacha Baron Cohen Pranks The Britannia Awards (video) Sacha Baron Cohen was up to his old tricks again, if you can call shoving an elderly woman in a wheelchair off a stage an "old trick." Cohen pulled the stunt while receiving the Charlie Chaplin Britannia for Excellence in Comedy at the BAFTA Britannia Awards in L.A. this weekend, accidentally tripping and sending "Charlie Chaplin costar Grace Cullington" hurtling into the audience. If anyone deserves an award, it's that stuntwoman for her excellent fall work. Top notch plummeting, that.

 Lady Gaga's 'Artpop' flying dress barely gets off the ground (video) Lady Gaga's album sales are already stratospheric, so why not her evening wear? The "Applause" singer unveiled a high-tech, white vehicle she bills as the world's first flying dress. The contraption lifted her up inside a mammoth building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where she held a launch party for her new album on Sunday. The battery-powered dress has six booms in a hex formation. The 27-year-old New York entertainer said later that this was "maybe a small step for Volantis" — as she calls the metal dress — but "a big-time step" for Lady Gaga. "Volantis is essentially a vehicle," she told the crowd, standing in front of the floral-shaped craft topping a curvy, female silhouette that acts as a fiberoptic body piece. It has multiple motors with a calculated payload — Gaga herself. &nbs
