Hi Everyone,

Check out these recent additions to our collection:

A Late Quartet

Directed by Yaron Zilberman, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Ivanir, Christopher Walken, Wallace Shawn, Imogen Poots, and Catherine Keener.  
After 25 years together, the members of a world-renowned string quartet learn that their beloved cellist may soon be forced to retire. But the news stirs up equally painful challenges when competing egos, harbored resentment, and irrepressible lust threaten to derail the group as they struggle to maintain harmony in their music, and their lives. 2012, rated R. Drama.

Smashed

Directed by James Ponsoldt, starring Octavia Spencer, Mary Kay Place, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Nick Offerman, Aaron Paul, and Megan Mullally.
Kate and Charlie are a young married couple whose bond is built on a mutual love of music, laughter and drinking-especially the drinking. When Kate's drinking leads her to dangerous places and her job as a school teacher is put into jeopardy, she decides to join AA and get sober. Her new lifestyle calls into question whether or not her relationship with Charlie is built on love or just a boozy diversion from adulthood. 2012, rated R. Drama

The Other Son

Directed by Lorraine Levy, starring Pascal Elbe, Mehdi Dehbi, Areen Omari, Mahmud Shalaby, Jules Sitruk, Diana Zriek, Emmanuelle Devos, and Khalifa Natour. 
A provocative tale, filmed in Israel and the West Bank, of two young men, one Israeli, the other Palestinian, who discover they were accidentally switched at birth, and the complex repercussions on themselves and their respective families. In French, Hebrew and Arabic with English subtitles.  2012, PG-13. Drama.




Hope you enjoy them.  Let me know what you think!
