Synopsis: A few years have gone by since pianist Tom Selznick retired following a disastrous concert. When Tom finally returns to the stage, he finds a message written on his music sheet: if you mess up one single note, you’ll die. Without moving his hands from his piano, the lead character must deal with this situation in the middle of a packed auditorium. A narrative and technical pirouette, with echoes of Rope and The Man Who Knew Too Much. And with Elijah Wood transformed into the new James Stewart.

- Bad Milo! ENGLISH (Link to RottenTomatoes review)
No Score Yet... Movie Info:- Duncan's (Ken Marino) life is a real pain in the ass. Tormented by a manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton), a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place) with a boyfriend 1/3 her age, a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root), and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare), who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay.

Months have passed since their last find, and an important new customer is now waiting on a delivery. When junior partner Reg (Damon Herriman of Justified) stumbles upon 3 travelers stranded on a remote country road, he cooks up a radical solution to their problem, and a way of finally gaining the respect of his bossy big brother (Angus Sampson). But when Reg starts to fall for Sophie, one of the intended victims, things get complicated... A bloody good time, the Cairnes' brothers witty horror-comedy blends sly Australian humor, gory fun, and a clever storyline that gives "recycling" a whole new context. (c)DoppelgängerReleasing

- Magic, Magic ENGLISH
(Link to RottenTomatoes review)
65% Average Rating: 6/10 Reviews Counted: 17 Fresh: 11 | Rotten: 6 - Movie Info:- A vacationing insomniac loses the ability to distinguish dreams from reality while traveling the Chilean countryside with a group of adventurers that includes her best friend and an enigmatic American in this downbeat saga. Though it came to the U.S. billed as a thriller or a horror picture, Chilean director Sebastian Silva's Magic Magic is more aptly described as a dark psychological drama with tense overtones. Juno Temple stars as Alicia - an emotionally fragile young woman in her early 20s
with a murky history. She joins her cousin Sarah (Emily Browning), Sarah's boyfriend Agustín (Agustín Silva), the couple's eccentric friend Brink (Michael Cera) and Agustín's sister Barbara (Catalina Sandina Moreno) for a retreat in the countryside, but from the beginning, things don't go as planned. In the days that follow, more tension erupts between Alicia and the other members of the group, particularly Brink, who displays extreme anti-social tendencies and grows fond of malevolently pushing the girl's buttons. After Sarah returns, all hell threatens to break loose: Alicia is accosted by a local dog that attempts to copulate with her leg; Brink and Agustín play a dangerous game that threatens to cause Alicia grave physical harm, and it becomes increasingly apparent, throughout, that Alicia is now teetering on the brink of a full-scale mental breakdown, which terrifies the others. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

98% Average Rating: 7.9/10 Reviews Counted: 94 Fresh: 92 | Rotten: 2 - Movie Info:- Blackfish unravels the complexities of this dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, who-unlike any orca in the wild-has taken the lives of several people while in captivity. So what exactly went wrong? Shocking, never-before-seen footage and riveting interviews with trainers and experts manifest the orca's extraordinary nature, the species' cruel treatment in captivity over the last four decades, and the growing disillusionment of workers who were misled and endangered by the highly profitable sea-park industry. This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammals.

63% Average Rating: 6.8/10 Reviews Counted: 8 Fresh: 5 | Rotten: 3 - Movie Info:- The most provocative film from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW should not exist, and yet it does. Like nothing you've ever seen, Randy Moore's directorial debut is a bold and ingenious trip into the happiest place on earth. An epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. Keeping the news from his nagging wife and wound-up children, he packs up the family and embarks on a full day of park hopping amid enchanted castles and fairytale princesses. Soon, the manufactured mirth of the fantasy land around him begins to haunt his subconscious. An idyllic family vacation quickly unravels into a surrealist nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians. Chillingly shot in black and white, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW dissects the mythology of artificial perfection while subversively attacking our culture's obsession with mass entertainment.(c)FilmBuff

- Birth of the living dead ENGLISH (Link to RottenTomatoes review)
No Score Yet... Movie Infon Rob Kuhns' feature documentary 'Birth of the living dead' goes beyond just being a tribute to director George Romero's work, to explore a critical moment in the American experience and the notion that horror acts as a reflection of national anxiety. The film details how Romero gathered an unlikely team of real Pittsburgh citizens -- police officers, iron workers, teachers, housewives and a roller-rink owner -- to shoot in a revolutionary guerrilla style that became a cinematic landmark and one of the most visceral and influential horror films ever made.(c)FirstRun

No Score Yet... Synopsis: For a few years now, the three dimensions seem to have become a fundamental ally for mainstream cinema out of Hollywood. But, can 3D technology be used beyond the blockbuster? That’s the question asked by 3x3D, a group film made on the occasion of the 2000 anniversary of the city of Guimaraes, and that brings together three masters of contemporary cinema: Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard and Edgar Pêra. The first makes the most of tridimensionality to give his notion of depth of field more layers, while Godard makes a new and surprising historical-audiovisual essay. Pêra, on the other hand, playfully speculates about the possibility that cinema is turning us into a new species.

- White Epilepsy ENGLISH Synopsis: A man’s naked body moves subtly. There is barely any light and the frame, far from the landscape film format, is vertical like a cell phone screen. The experimental gives way to a silent tale, that of a man and a woman named Adam and Eve. Grandrieux works with bodies again in a hypnotic and tremendously physical movie.
- The Taking ENGLISH Synopsis: A victim of infidelity, Carl sets out to kill his best friend and his fiancée. However, his plans don’t turn out as he expects; but he will wake up tied to a tree, with an unknown woman as a companion and a sinister family prepared to make them have a really bad time. “A film made with balls”, say the directors of this movie with Lynchean overtones, which explores the possibilities of image, of sound and of horror.

The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static-white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

Amid the backdrop of a frenzied film set, actor Val Lauren reluctantly agrees to take the lead in the film.

- Escape from Tomorrow ENGLISH (Link to RottenTomatoes review)
63% Average Rating: 6.8/10 Reviews Counted: 8 Fresh: 5 | Rotten: 3 - Movie Info:- The most provocative film from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW should not exist, and yet it does. Like nothing you've ever seen, Randy Moore's directorial debut is a bold and ingenious trip into the happiest place on earth. An epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. Keeping the news from his nagging wife and wound-up children, he packs up the family and embarks on a full day of park hopping amid enchanted castles and fairytale princesses. Soon, the manufactured mirth of the fantasy land around him begins to haunt his subconscious. An idyllic family vacation quickly unravels into a surrealist nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians. Chillingly shot in black and white, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW dissects the mythology of artificial perfection while subversively attacking our culture's obsession with mass entertainment.(c)FilmBuff
