Gambit
A remake of the 1966 film you’ve never heard of: A master
thief (Colin Firth) plots to rip off a rich widower (Alan Rickman) with
the help of a woman (Cameron Diaz) who resembles his late wife. Written
by the Coen Brothers, no less! (CBS Films)
Independence Daysaster
Faceless
alien invaders of indeterminate origin attack on the Fourth of July,
and it’s up to the president, a firefighter and a gorgeous blonde
scientist to save the day. But not Independence Day; that’s a matter for
the lawyers. (Anchor Bay)
Buttwhistle
When a college student (Trevor Morgan) saves a teen girl (Elizabeth Rice) from a suicide attempt, she turns out to be a clingy, crazy hot mess who makes his life hell. If that’s not enough, there’s also talking soap and exploding heads. (Breaking Glass)
Journey to the West
A young Buddhist demon hunter defeats then reforms/recruits three demons, then embarks on said Journey to the West … or something. It’s directed by Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), so there’s plenty of action and distractions. (Magnolia)
Run & Jump
After her husband has a debilitating stroke, a housewife (Maxine Peake) struggles to keep her family together and strikes up an unconventional relationship with a lonely neurologist (Will Forte). Neither running nor jumping is involved. (IFC Films)
