This Is Martin Bonner

Opens Friday, Jun 21, 2013 Synopsis: Two very different men trying to restart their lives strike up a friendship in this independent drama from writer and director Chad Hartigan. Martin Bonner (Paul Eenhoorn) is in his late fifties and newly single after a painful divorce that has cost him nearly all his savings. Looking for a fresh start, Martin has relocated to Reno, NV, where he lands a job with a charitable organization that helps recently released convicts transition to productive lives on the outside. When not busy with work, Martin referees children's soccer games, tries to repair his relationships with his adult son and daughter, and buys and sells knickknacks on eBay, and if he sometimes seems puzzled by the nuts and bolts of his new life, he also seems to have achieved some sort of peace of mind. Martin's organization has been working with Travis (Richmond Arquette), who spent twelve years in prison after killing someone while driving drunk; Travis doesn't feel comfortable with Steve (Robert Longstreet), a counselor who is well-meaning but frequently proselytizes about his faith, but he finds a kindred spirit in Martin. As Martin and Travis get to know one another, they each find themselves learning about the hard work of starting a new life following traumatic circumstances. This Is Martin Bonner received its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the Next Audience Award. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Paul Eenhoorn, Richmond Arquette, Robert Longstreet, Sam Buchanan, Demetrius Grosse Movie Details Buy Tickets Movie Review

Apartment 1303 3D

Opens Thursday, Jul 25, 2013 Synopsis: A woman moves into her late sister's Detroit high rise in order to investigate her mysterious death in this supernatural thriller starring Mischa Barton. When Janet Slate (Julianne Michelle) summoned the courage to strike out on her own, she had her whole life ahead of her. Newly independent in a downtown Detroit apartment, she was finally free from her overbearing, egomaniacal mother (Rebecca De Mornay). Then the unthinkable: Janet's boyfriend Mark (Corey Sevier) discovers her body in the middle of the street. Did Janet commit suicide by leaping from the ledge of her 13th-floor apartment, or were more sinister forces to blame for her untimely death? Convinced of foul play and determined to find answers, Janet's sister Lara (Barton) takes up residence in the apartment and begins searching for clues. Drawn to an ethereal nine-year-old girl who seems strangely attuned to the disturbing events unfolding in the building, Lara quickly realizes that should she fail to solve the mystery of Janet's death soon, many more lives -- including her own -- are sure to be lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Mischa Barton, Julianne Michelle, Corey Sevier, Rebecca De Mornay Movie Details Buy Tickets Movie Review
