In short, Jack has much to despair of, and when Jack despairs, Jack drinks. A lot. Jack's drunken behaviour has been bad enough to have him banned from a local upscale pub. Dina Delsanto (Juliette Binoche) is an abstract painter. Like Jack, she was once celebrated for her art, but the onset of arthritis has made the physical act of painting too painful to bear. Jack finds Dina attractive but icy; he flirts with and provokes her with equal relish.

The man finds himself stuck in a life and death struggle between a body he can’t bury, a wife he can’t please and a debt he can’t pay.

Top New Movies In Theater Opening This Week - August 29, 2014

Top 1. As Above, So Below (2014)
  
93 min   -   Horror | Thriller
When a team of explorers ventures into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.
Director: John Erick Dowdle
Stars: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, François Civil



Storyline:

Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the eternal home to countless souls. When a team of explorers ventures into the uncharted maze of bones, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead. A journey into madness and terror, As Above, So Below reaches deep into the human psyche to reveal the personal demons that come back to haunt us all. Written by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (Quarantine, Devil) and directed by John Erick Dowdle, the psychological thriller is produced by Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Drew Dowdle and Patrick Aiello. Alex Hedlund serves as the executive producer. 

Top 2. The November Man (2014) - [Opens 8/27]

108 min   -   Action | Crime | Thriller
Metascore: 33/100 (14 reviews)
An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.
Director: Roger Donaldson
Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko, Bill Smitrovich

      

Storyline:

Pierce Brosnan and director Roger Donaldson reunite nearly 20 years after Dante's Peak for Bronan's Bondiest outing since Die Another Day. Apparently the studio is already at work on a potential sequel; often that's a last-minute Hail Mary for a film of questionable awareness, though. We hear Olga Kurylenko is underutilized and watching Bronan with his protege, played by Luke Bracey, is like "trying to get invested in a battle between Captain America and a tuna sandwich." 

Top 3. Last Weekend (2014) - [Limited]

94 min   -   Comedy | Drama
When an affluent matriarch gathers her dysfunctional family for a holiday at their Northern California lake house, her carefully constructed weekend begins to come apart at the seams, leading her to question her own role in the family.
Directors: Tom Dolby | Tom Williams
Stars: Patricia Clarkson, Zachary Booth, Joseph Cross, Chris Mulkey


Storyline:

Patricia Clarkson has been sporadic with her movie appearances over the past few years, and it's possible that that the funding for this film hinged upon her participation (we don't know that for sure -- just theorizing). After watching the trailer, we immediately thought about what it would be like to see Clarkson lead this cast in a staged version of the material so she could really go far in her development of what seems to be a memorable character.

Top 4. If I Stay (2014)

106 min   -   Drama
Metascore: 46/100 (33 reviews)
Life changes in an instant for young Mia Hall after a car accident puts her in a coma. During an out-of-body experience, she must decide whether to wake up and live a life far different than she had imagined.
Director: R.J. Cutler
Stars: Chloë Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Jamie Blackley, Joshua Leonard


Storyline:

Mia Hall thought the hardest decision she would ever face would be whether to pursue her musical dreams at Juilliard or follow a different path to be with the love of her life, Adam. But what should have been a carefree family drive changes everything in an instant, and now her own life hangs in the balance. Caught between life and death for one revealing day, Mia has only one decision left, which will not only decide her future but her ultimate fate.

Movie Preview: 10 Films Must to See in May 2014

This month's key theatrical releases:
  
Below, our editors have selected the 10 most notable films debuting this month (including limited releases), listed in alphabetical order. 

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 

 
Action | May 2 | Directed by Marc Webb

For some fans, 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Manfelt too familiar, a retelling of Spider-Man’s origin story just ten years after Sam Raimi’s similarSpider-Man. But enough critics and moviegoers embraced the film, leading to healthy box office numbers and Sony’s commitment to not just a sequel, but also a third film (due June 10, 2016), a fourth film (currently set for May 4, 2018), and upcoming spin-offs The Sinister Six and Venom. Disappointingly mixed early reviewsfor Marc Webb’s sequel (in theaters this week) will not slow down the Spider-Man juggernaut, but some critics have pointed out that the new film feels less like a movie than an overstuffed set-up for future installments as Peter Parker discovers a conspiracy at Oscorp and battles Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin, Jaime Fox as Electro, and Paul Giamatti as Rhino. One bright spot that critics seem to agree on is the winning chemistry between stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. 

The Double
 
  
Drama | May 9 | Directed by Richard Ayoade

Jessie Eisenberg stars as Simon James and his doppelgänger James Simon in this sophomore effort from actor-turned-director Richard Ayoade. Simon James is a timid, lonely office worker whose life is thrown out of balance when James Simon, a confident, charismatic new hire—and Simon’s physical double—is able to catch the eye of Simon’s boss (Wallace Shawn) and dream girl (Mia Wasikowska). Ayoade adapted Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novella with Avi Korine (brother of director Harmony Korine) and directs an impressive ensemble that includes Noah Taylor, Sally Hawkins, Yasmin Page, James Fox, and Chris O’Dowd (Ayoade’s costar in British TV comedy The IT Crowd). 

Godzilla
    

 
Action/Sci-fi | May 16 | Directed by Gareth Edwards
  
The most famous of movie monsters is back. Of course, anyone who remembers 1998’s Godzillaor the slightly less awful Godzilla 2000 knows that the return of Godzilla can be bad news for viewers as well as the residents of whatever metropolis he's terrorizing. Making the leap from his low-budget debut Monsters, director Gareth Edwards decided to take a serious approach to a story that will balance familial drama with $160 million worth of epic destruction. The family at the center of the film consists of Joe and Sandra Brody, mom and dad nuclear physicists played by Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche, and their children Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Elle (Elizabeth Olsen). Helping to explain the origins of Godzilla, while hoping to find a way to contain the beast, are Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins and David Strathairn. Industry experts are already predicting a $60-$70 million opening weekend, while Metacritic users forecast a Metascore of 68. 

The Immigrant
 

 
Drama | May 16 | Directed by James Gray

France has always been kind to James Gray (four of the director’s five films have played in competition at Cannes), but the U.S. has been a tougher sell. His latest drama examines his own family’s past (as well as America’s) by following the plight of Ewa, a Polish immigrant played by Marion Cotillard, and her sister, Magda (Angela Sarafyan). When Magda is denied entry into the United States due to illness, Ewa falls into the hands of Bruno, a low-level opportunist played by Joaquin Phoenix. Jeremy Renner plays Bruno’s cousin and rival, Orlando the Magician. The film has received generally favorable early reviews, with plenty of praise being given to the performances (especially Cotillard's) and the cinematography by Darius Khondji (Se7en,Amour). 

Maleficent 
 

 
Fantasy/Family | May 30 | Directed by Robert Stromberg

Angelina Jolie returns to the big screen for the first time since 2010’s The Tourist as Maleficent in this darker, live-action re-imagining of Disney’s 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. Working from a script by Linda Woolverton (Alice in Wonderland) and John Lee Hancock (Snow White and the Huntsman), veteran production designer and visual effects supervisor Robert Stromberg makes his directorial debut, bringing plenty of visual flair to a story that finds Elle Fanning’s Princess Aurora in the middle of a battle between her father (Sharlto Copley) and Maleficent, a fairy who once had wings. Sam Riley, Brenton Thwaites, Miranda Richardson, and Juno Temple have supporting roles. 

A Million Ways to Die in the West 
 

   
Comedy/Western | May 30 | Directed by Seth MacFarlane

In this follow-up to his successful debut featureTed, Seth MacFarlane writes, directs, and stars as Albert, a cowardly farmer who loses his girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) to a mustachioed slickster played by Neil Patrick Harris. Luckily for Albert, he befriends the new-to-town Anna (Charlize Theron). Unluckily for Albert, Anna's husband (Liam Neeson) is an outlaw looking for a gunfight. Joining MacFarlane in the comically dangerous Old West are Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman, Wes Studi, and Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd. 

Neighbors
 

 
Comedy | May 9 | Directed by Nicholas Stoller

Buzz has been building for Neighbors since the comedy received excellent reviews at the SXSW Film Festival this spring. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne star as a young couple with a newborn baby whose lives are suddenly turned upside down when a fraternity moves in next door. Zac Efron plays the leader of the fraternity while Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Craig Roberts, Ike Barinholtz and Jason Mantzoukas all have supporting roles. Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Five-Year Engagement) directs from a script by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien. 

Palo Alto
 

 
Drama | May 9 | Directed by Gia Coppola

The latest member of the Coppola family to enter the family business (filmmaking) is 27-year-old Gia Coppola, granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola, and niece of Sofia and Roman. Gia makes her directorial debut with Palo Alto, an adaptation of James Franco’s collection of short stories set in the titular California town. In the drama, Emma Roberts's April has a dangerous flirtation with her single-dad soccer coach, Mr. B (James Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer, son of Val, who also has a small role) is into April, but he’s serving community service for a DUI while his best friend Fred (Nat Wolff) becomes more reckless and unpredictable with each passing night. The film’s Hollywood pedigree, good early reviews, an original score from Dev Hynes of Blood Orange, and the constant controversy surrounding Mr. Franco makes this one to look for as it opens in select cities throughout the month. 

Tracks 
 

 
Drama | May 23 | Directed by John Curran

In 1977, Robyn Davidson set off on a 1,700-mile trek with four camels and a dog, traveling from Alice Springs across the deserts of Western Australia to the Indian Ocean. Working from Marion Nelson’s adaptation of Davidson’s 1980 memoir, director John Curran brings this journey to life with Mia Wasikowska as Davidson and Adam Driver as National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan, who documented her trip for the magazine. After being in development for three decades, the finally completed film received strong reviews when it premiered on the festival circuit last fall, with special notice given to Wasikowska’s performance. 

X-Men: Days of Future Past 
 

 
Action | May 23 | Directed by Bryan Singer

While Bryan Singer’s recent troubles will keep him off the publicity tour, there is no doubting his impact on the X-Men movie franchise. After directing X-Men and X2: X-Men United, he stepped aside for 2006’s inferior X-Men: The Last Stand. But when Matthew Vaughn, director of 2011’s X-Men: First Class, decided to move on, Singer jumped back in to helm this time-traveling story, based on one of the most belovedX-Men comics. Days of Future Past brings together the original cast (Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, and Daniel Cudmore) with the cast from First Class (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Lucas Till) to fight Peter Dinklage’s Bolivar Trask as he tries to wipe out the mutants with his deadly invention, the Sentinels. In an already crowded film, there are some new faces as well, including Omar Sy as Bishop, Fan Bingbing as Blink, Booboo Stewart as Warpath, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, and Adan Canto as Sunspot. A sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse, is already set for May 27, 2016.

Reviews:  
If a picture is indeed worth a thousand words, this review would be just a selfie of yours truly looking sad and confused as the credits for "Words and Pictures" played in the background. Alas, I work in a medium driven by words, so to equal that picture, I’ve got 950 words to go.
Equating words and images is the major plot point of "Words and Pictures." Two high school Honors program teachers oversee a student debate on which is more important, images or the written word. In the process, the teachers fall in love. It sounds like a romantic comedy with a little heft to it, until you discover that one teacher is so repellent that you root against the relationship. Adding insult to injury, the debate itself is given little screen time to develop.
"Words and Pictures" has a helmer I greatly admire, suitably cast actors I enjoy and a plot that sounds intriguing. Rom-coms are the hardest genre to employ without failure, but director Fred Schepisi made two successful ones: "I.Q.," which I liked, and "Roxanne," which I adore. Clive Owen had a roguish charm in "Duplicity" and Juliette Binoche provided what little convincing romance there was to be had in "The English Patient." As a writer whose drawing skill makes Dr. Seuss look like Frank Miller, I was all set to root for words to win the big debate...
