- DirectorTom DiCilloStarsSteve BuscemiCatherine KeenerDermot MulroneyThis ultimate tribute to all independent filmmakers takes place during one day on the set of a non-budget movie.Funny and spot on when it comes to issues concerning movie shoots, but probably not so appealing if you're not into filmmaking.
- DirectorLasse ÅbergStarsJanne CarlssonLasse ÅbergTed ÅströmJonsson is called back for refresher training. He meets Lövgren, Larsson and others who aren't very serious but instead, see it as an opportunity to have fun for a month away from work.Cute, but also a bit childish. More like lined up sketches than an actual story.
- DirectorSofia NorlinStarsSebastian Hiort af OrnäsAlfred JunttiLina LeanderssonIn a small mining community in Northern Sweden, a group of youngsters about to take the leap in the adult age fight with themselves and the world around, while the ground literally trembles under their feet.
- DirectorDennis GanselStarsJürgen VogelFrederick LauMax RiemeltA high school teacher's experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when he forms a social unit with a life of its own.
- DirectorAlain DarborgStarsSimon J. BergerAlexander KarimTorkel PeterssonCharles Ingvar Jönsson gathers three criminals to take vengeance upon the people who killed his uncle.Why?
- DirectorHenry HobsonStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerAbigail BreslinJoely RichardsonA teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.
- DirectorJonas ÅkerlundStarsJason SchwartzmanJohn LeguizamoPatrick FugitA drug dealer introduces one of his customers, a 'speed freak', to the man who runs the meth lab. A crazy three-day adventure ensues.Seriously misunderstood by critics. Has a ton of style but the stylistic choices also mirror the stressed lives of the addicts, and underneath there's a very tragic story.
- DirectorBenjamin ClearyStarsMatthew NeedhamChloe PirrieEric RichardA man whose lush inner thoughts are rendered mute by a crippling stutter feels isolated from the world despite a flourishing online relationship.
- DirectorMichael UrieStarsMichael Levi HarrisTovah FeldshuhYesenia AdameDespite an unrivaled talent for learning languages and communicating, Jake has trouble talking to women.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSusan SarandonGeena DavisHarvey KeitelTwo best friends set out on an adventure, but it soon turns around to a terrifying escape from being hunted by the police, as these two women escape for the crimes they committed.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppChristina RicciMiranda RichardsonIchabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.
- DirectorSophie HuberStarsHarry Dean StantonSophie HuberWim WendersHarry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction is a mesmerizing, impressionistic portrait of the iconic actor comprised of intimate moments, film clips from some of his 250 films and his own heart-breaking renditions of American folk songs. Stunningly lensed in color and b/w by Seamus McGarvey, the film explores the actor's enigmatic outlook on his life, his unexploited talents as a musician, and includes candid scenes with David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson and Debbie Harry. The fragile soul of an actor emerges from the poignant collage.
- DirectorRian JohnsonStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaMark HamillRey develops her abilities with the help of Luke Skywalker as the Resistance prepares for battle against the First Order.I am now done with the Star Wars franchise. The Last Jedi doesn't build on anything that was established in The Force Awakens and doesn't develop any of its characters. Has weird structure and editing. Why give this to a hack?
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsJake GyllenhaalMélanie LaurentSarah GadonA man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie.
- DirectorJohn TurturroStarsJames GandolfiniSusan SarandonKate WinsletThis down-and-dirty musical set in the world of working-class New York tells the story of a husband's journey into infidelity and redemption when he must choose between his seductive mistress and his beleaguered wife.
- DirectorDavid LynchStarsNicolas CageLaura DernWillem DafoeYoung lovers Sailor and Lula run from the variety of weirdos that Lula's mom has hired to kill Sailor.
- StarsChris IsaakKiefer SutherlandC.H. EvansTwin Peaks before Twin Peaks (1990) and at the same time not always and entirely in the same place as Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). A feature film which presents deleted scenes from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) assembled together for the first time in an untold portion of the story's prequel.Really just deleted scenes from Fire Walk with Me in a row. Hard to say anything i terms of storytelling as a standalone film.
- DirectorNicholas HytnerStarsMaggie SmithAlex JenningsJim BroadbentA man forms an unexpected bond with a transient woman living in her van that's parked in his driveway.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherAmerican college students David Kessler and Jack Goodman on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists. Jack dies. David recovers in a hospital, where he has nightmares.Worth seeing because of its cult status and special effects, but I don't see what the intended audience is. Gore and nudity mixed with the tone of a teen movie creates ambivalent storytelling.
- DirectorTodd SolondzStarsSelma BlairLeo FitzpatrickRobert WisdomCollege and high school serve as the backdrop for two stories about dysfunction and personal turmoil.
- DirectorMikael BundsenStarsAlfred DikalowAnton Jarlros GryMatilda JelseIn a small town in Sweden, twenty-something Nicolas meets up with some friends for some bowling after work. In the bowing alley he sees someone whom he has not seen for a long time. A film about courage and coming to terms with the past, about chances one once had and never took, chances that, deep inside, one wishes one could have again.
- DirectorRuben ÖstlundStarsClaes BangElisabeth MossDominic WestA prestigious Stockholm museum's chief art curator finds himself in times of both professional and personal crisis as he attempts to set up a controversial new exhibit.So well-crafted it's hard to believe it's a modern swedish film. A bit too much symbolism and not quite coherent enough for me - otherwise excellent!
- DirectorWes BallStarsDylan O'BrienKi Hong LeeKaya ScodelarioYoung hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as "The Flare".Sooo much filler and sooo little story. The conclusion of the Maze Runner trilogy doesn't seem to be about anything. Don't pay to see this.
- DirectorRuben ÖstlundStarsAnas AbdirahmanSebastian BlyckertYannick DiakitéAn astute observation based on real cases of bullying. In central Gothenburg, Sweden, a group of boys, aged 12-14, robbed other children on about 40 occasions between 2006 and 2008. The thieves used an elaborate scheme called the 'little brother number' or 'brother trick', involving advanced role-play and gang rhetoric rather than physical violence.A non-story going nowhere slow. Has some points about segregation and attitudes towards immigrants, but the narration is way too dull to catch on.
- DirectorGareth EdwardsStarsFelicity JonesDiego LunaAlan TudykIn a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction.Not frustratingly bad, which is all you dare to hope for these days. Pretty decent story (even though you know the outcome) that tonally matches the original trilogy better than any of the other new Star Wars movies. Terrible CGI faces on Tarkin and Leia though.
