Bumped from a flight back to Los Angeles and the life, wife, and infant daughter that await him there, Mikey (Matt Boren) returns to his childhood home, a cluttered, cocoon-like Manhattan loft presided over by his bohemian parents. What begins as a respite from adult responsibility becomes a premature mid-life crisis. Reinstalled in a household saturated with 2 generations of bric-a-brac evoking days gone by, Mikey starts to regress and drift back to an awkward youth he never outgrew. This film is by Azazel Jacobs. Writer-director Azazel Jacobs casts his artist parents--filmmaker Ken and painter Flo Jacobs--in this independent comedy that earned raves at the Sundance Film Fest. In MOMMA'S MAN, Los Angeles resident Mikey (Matt Boren), a distant husband and inattentive new father, takes a trip back to his home town of New York. In short order, his visit to his parents' apartment turns into an extended stay as he rediscovers his childhood and begins to revert to a state of adolescence. Jacobs's MAN transcends its typically indie premise to deliver a captivating film of uncommon insight. Ken and Flo's apartment, segmented into little nooks and filled to the brim with books and bric-a-brac, is oddly stimulating and appropriate as a movie setting, and truly a sight to behold. Fans of focused, stunning independent cinema will find many treasures in MOMMA'S MAN. Momma's Man Reviews: Included in Entertainment Weekly's 2008 Films Of The Year -- "Azazel Jacobs has made a profound comedy of identity..."-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "Episodically structured, MOMMA'S MAN catches the rhythm of life through drifty interludes, fragmented exchanges and moments so delicate they would break in rougher hands."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times "At once poignant and ruefully amusing....The film is a comment on the stresses of fast-changing modern life....Mastery of tone is everything here, and Azazel's control, combines with his wit, perception, discretion and easy command of the visual and of his cast makes MOMMA'S MAN a gem."-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "[A] dysfunctional family indie with an Emily Dickinson soul: a homegrown song, tidy in its emotional turmoil, that opens a world of feeling through the terms right at hand."-- Nathan Lee, Film Comment

Daniel Auteil sheds the dramatic character of Michael Hanneke's CACHÉ to star in this light French comedy. Auteil plays François, an antiques dealer who finds it far easier to locate an Art Deco rarity than a true friend. He has plenty of professional contacts, but an utter lack of people skills leaves him alone after office hours. His business partner bets an expensive vase that he can't produce a friend within 10 days, and François struggles to pick out a best friend in an address book full of acquaintances and childhood chums. He keeps running into fellow loner Bruno (Dany Boon, THE VALET), who is friendly but can't trust anyone. ...

$14.69  
The struggle to achieve resident alien status, or gain full-blown citizenship in the United States, provides some thought-provoking material in this feature from director Wayne Kramer(THE COOLER). CROSSING OVER is an ensemble piece that contains many overlapping storylines, most of which revolve around Max Brogan (Harrison Ford), a law enforcement official who specializes in arresting people who break stringent immigration laws. Joining Ford is Ray Liotta, who plays a corrupt immigration official who forces a wannabe Australian actress (Alice Eve) to sleep with him in exchange for a green card. The film also focuses on the rigorous guidelines laid down in post-9/11 America, with Kramer detailing the shocking maltreatment of a teenage girl who faces deportation ...

A shocking and offbeat story of two French lovers, Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) and Betty (Beatrice Dalle), who fall into a deeply erotic and all-encompassing relationship. Zorg is a simple repairman in his mid-thirties who lives a relatively dull life in a remote, weathered shack until he meets Betty, a sexy, mercurial younger woman who challenges his way of thinking and forces him to change his life. When Betty and Zorg are not having wild and uninhibited sex (and joyously traipsing around naked), Zorg is writing his novel, an unpublished masterwork that Betty discovers and vehemently champions. Betty, prone to violent ...

Michael Rubbo's sublimely entertaining documentary, MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING, investigates the premise that the plays and sonnets of William Shakespeare were actually written by Christopher Marlowe. Relying on the expert testimony of historians, academics, and others, Rubbo builds his case carefully. He finds a cult-like group of Shakespeare debunkers who worship at the altar of Marlowe. Their proselytizing, corroborated by less biased witnesses, establishes that ...
