The latest in Spike Lee’s Chronicles of
Brooklyn - which also include She's Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing,
Crookyln, Clocker and He Got Game, "Red Hook Summer" tells the story of
Flik Royale, a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come
to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch
Rouse, in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before,
things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly
attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his
grandfather’s constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city
life, Flik’s summer appears to be a total disaster--until he meets Chazz
Morningstar, a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of
Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins
to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better,
than he’d ever imagined.
Leo Zisman already had enough of Nazi
cruelty when it first asserted itself in his life 75 years ago. The kind
of person who, when faced as a boy with a Nazi death camp guard who
held a rifle to his head, Zisman fearlessly shouted at him in German,
“Shoot…shoot…you pig!”. Now 81, Zisman is committed to taking young men
and women, Jews and non-Jews, through the past he lived. A testament to
his astounding resilience and determination "The Lion of Judah"
chronicles his uncensored tour through the most reprehensible of the
death camps-Majdanek, Birkenau and Auschwitz . The young people who join
Zisman are similarly outspoken, telling a basic story from multiple
points of view and witnessing how quickly a man can go from being part
of a community to a mass grave. In its vox-pop style the film also
surveys contemporary Poles, illuminating attitudes, unmasking memories
and vowing, “never again.” A confident, vibrant, in your face response
to time running out for the last generation of Survivors to tell their
story, "The Lion of Judah" marks a crucial shift in tone of voice for
Holocaust remembrance.
In "Goats," Ellis (Graham Phillips) is the
most adult member of his eccentric family at 15 years old. His mom (Vera
Farmiga) is a New Age hippie that spends all of her time working on
self-help rituals with her hustler boyfriend (Justin Kirk). His dad (Ty
Burrell) left home years ago and is more focused on his new wife (Keri
Russell) and family. And then there's Goat Man (David Duchovny), the
goat-herding sage who has lived in their pool house since Ellis was a
child, teaching him the meaning of stability, commitment, and expanding
one's mind.
When Ellis decides to leave Tucson to go to the same East Coast prep
school that his father went to, he easily assimilates to his new
environment - even gaining the attention of a local girl (Dakota
Johnson). But as he re‐connects with his estranged father, he finds Goat
Man’s influence and his life out West thrown into stark contrast.
Based on Mark Jude Poirier’s best-selling novel, director Christopher
Neil's hilarious and poignant film is a witty reversal of the coming of
age formula, a beautifully honest portrayal of life with its rough
edges, awkward moments, and non-endings.
The son of a slain NYPD officer joins the
force, where he falls in with his father's former partner and a team of
rogue cops. His new boss, Sarcone, will see if he has what it takes to
be rogue through many trials and tribulations of loyalty, trust and
respect. When the truth about his father's death is revealed, revenge
takes over him, and he won't stop until justice has been truly served.
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will
Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a
pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain
influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty
Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At
first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the
help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and
his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who
gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes
in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating
to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this
mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy from "Meet the
Parents" director Jay Roach that takes today's political circus to its
logical next level. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit
rock bottom, there's room to dig a whole lot deeper.
