| Need for Speed |
Need for Speed is the DreamWorks’ big screen adaptation from the video game of the same name. Much like the game the racing sequences look awesome and the photography is beautiful. Need for Speed is directed by stuntman turned director Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) and written by George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum), John Gatins (Real Steel) and producer George Gatins but most excitingly it stars Aaron Paul, previously from Breaking Bad. Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton also star in the DreamWorks adaptation.
Veronica Mars

| Veronica Mars |
Veronica Mars is written and directed by Rob Thomas, creator of the original TV series by the same name. Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) returns to Neptune, California, years after walking away from her past as a teenage private eye. Out of nowhere, she gets pulled back to her hometown, an ex-boyfriend with baggage, and an unraveling murder mystery. The film came to be after a successful Kickstarter campaign which prompted support from Warner Bros. for distribution. Anyone excited?
Bad Words (Limited)

| Bad Words |
Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman), a 41-year-old, foul-mouthed, cranky, ill-mannered high-school dropout, enters the National Quill Spelling Bee (thanks to a registration loophole), that he is ruthlessly determined to win. Trilby blazes through the regionals and at the national level, he meets legitimate competitor Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), a seemingly ingenuous boy unfazed by the older man’s antisocial demeanor. Jason Bateman’s directorial debut, Bad Words is written by freshman writer Andrew Dodge.
Better Living Through Chemistry (Limited)

| Better Living Through Chemistry |
Sam Rockwell can be seen in Better Living Through Chemistry, the directorial debut of writers Geoff Moore and David Posamentier. In the film, Rockwell plays a small town pharmacist who takes a walk on the wild side when he embarks on a drug-and-alcohol fueled affair with a seductive customer (Olivia Wilde). It doesn’t look like anything special, though I wish it would.
Enemy (Limited)
 |
| Enemy |
Director Denis Villeneuve and actor Jake Gyllenhaal collaborate on Enemy, an adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago’s 2002 novel The Double. Gyllenhaal plays a university lecturer who spots a minor actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his double, Adam tracks down Anthony, an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen (Sarah Gadon) and engages him in a complex and dangerous struggle. Yeah, it looks strange.
