Lotus Eaters

Now Playing Synopsis: A handful of young people discover that wealth and beauty don't necessarily make for a satisfying life in this drama. Alice (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) has enjoyed a successful career as a fashion model, and she spends much of her time dashing from one hot spot to another in a whirl of parties and drink-and-drug-fueled decadence. However, in her late twenties, Alice is already becoming too old for her chosen profession, and she's considering becoming an actress. Meanwhile, her former boyfriend Charlie (Johnny Flynn) is handsome and charming, but he's also a heroin addict whose life is going nowhere; despite this, Alice is still drawn to him. Elsewhere, Alice's friend Orna (Cynthia Fortune Ryan) is eager to pair up the members of her social circle, including Marlon (Alex Wyndham), a ladies' man with a sexually transmitted disease; weak-willed Felix (Benn Northover), who is infatuated with Alice; and Suzi (Amber Anderson), Felix's emotionally unstable lover. Lotus Eaters was the first feature film from Alexandra McGuinness, whose father, Paul McGuinness, has witnessed more than a bit of the rock-&-roll lifestyle as the longtime manager of U2. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Johnny Flynn, Benn Northover, Cynthia Fortune Ryan, Liam Browne Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

No (2013)

Now Playing Synopsis: A shrewd young advertising executive gets recruited to help free Chile from the grip of dictator Augusto Pinochet in this historical drama set during a defining chapter in nation's history. The year is 1988. Pinochet has ruled Chile without challenge for nearly two decades, but all of this could soon change as the international community pressures the despot to hold a national election that will decide whether he retains his position for another eight years. Should the citizens vote "Yes," Pinochet will remain in power; should they vote "No," the country will elect a new leader. Though the population remains convinced that the election is fixed, the chance to enact change through peaceful means is too powerful to resist. In order to succeed, the opposition recruits bright young ad exec René Saavedra (Gael García Bernal) to create the daily, 15-minute television spots that will help to ensure a "No" vote. But Saavedra knows that if the citizens stay home during the elections the "Yes" vote will certainly win, and focuses as much on getting cynical Chileans to the polls as he does promising them a brighter future. Meanwhile Lucho Guzmán (Alfredo Castro), Saavedra's intimidating counterpart on the "Yes" campaign, does everything in his power to shut down the "No" vote. With the fate of an entire nation hanging in the balance of the outcome, however, Saavedra braves intimidation and death threats in order to ensure his country will be freed from the grip of tyranny. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Gael García Bernal, Alfredo Castro, Antonia Zegers, Luis Gnecco, Marcial Tagle Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

The Monk

Opens Friday, Mar 8, 2013 Synopsis: One man's soul is caught up in a battle of good vs. evil in this period drama from director Dominik Moll. Ambrosio (Vincent Cassel) has spent most of his life within the walls of a Capuchin monastery in Spain; he was left on their doorstep as an infant, and has grown into a man of God respected among his brothers for his fiercely held principles and intense faith. A new follower joins the order, Valerio (Déborah François), who wears a mask after being horribly disfigured in a fire, but Ambrosio discovers this story isn't true -- Valerio is disguised because he's actually a woman. Shortly after Valerio's secret is revealed, Ambrosio is bitten by a scorpion and the poison nearly kills him. Ambrosio eventually recovers, but he's a changed man after he returns to health, and begins showing a highly inappropriate interest in Antonia (Joséphine Japy), an innocent but beautiful young woman living nearby. As Ambrosio works a greater control over Antonia, some wonder if the monk was more deeply impacted by the scorpion's sting than they imagined -- or if Valerio's gender was not her only secret. Adapted from a novel by Matthew G. Lewis, Le Moine (aka The Monk) was an official selection at the 2011 Palm Springs Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Vincent Cassel, Déborah François, Joséphine Japy, Sergi López, Geraldine Chaplin Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
