The Internship
Quidditch anyone?
The Purge
In an alternate version of America, the government allows a twelve-hour period each year called The Purge in which any and all criminal activity, including murder, becomes legal. Don’t we call that Black Friday?
Much Ado About Nothing (Limited) MoviefiedNYC Most Anticipated
Joss Whedon’s contemporary retelling of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, shot in black and white, in just twelve days. Working title: So Not The Avengers.
Tiger Eyes (Limited)
This is the first major motion picture adaptation from a work of iconic author Judy Blume.
Wish You Were Here (Limited)
Another vacation gone awry movie. Ugh.
V/H/S/2
This is a fantastic foursome of horror shorts. It’s worth seeing just for the zombie sequence alone.
Man of Steel MoviefiedNYC Most Anticipated
A blockbuster Villain showdown! Looks like Michael Shannon might give Benedict Cumberbatch a run for his money as best villainous performance of this year’s summer blockbusters

The film traces the history of back-up singers from famous the Phil Spector–produced pop song, the British Explosion acts of the ’60s, and up to today’s music scene, complete with interviews from Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger and more.
Berberian Sound Studio (Limited)
A stylish, psychological thriller that looks and feels like it could have been made in the 70s.
World War Z
An adaptation of Max Brooks’ best selling zombie book World War Z. I’m worried about this one.
Storm Surfers 3D
A new documentary featuring surfing legends Tom Carroll and Ross Clark-Jones that explores the seemingly insane, thrill-seeking, hobby of big-wave riding. Some of this footage is breathtaking.
Maniac MoviefiedNYC Recommended
A modern-day Jack the Ripper set in L.A. that is visually daring and psychologically complex. Shot almost entirely in first person, from the killer’s point of view, the audience sees what the killer (Elijah Wood) sees—in essence—we are the killer
