- DirectorJoe WrightStarsLevi MillerHugh JackmanGarrett HedlundTwelve-year-old orphan Peter is spirited away to the magical world of Neverland, where he finds both fun and danger, and ultimately discovers his destiny: to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.The focus here has remained on director Joe Wright's continual defense of casting Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily, a Native American princess in the works of J. M. Barrie, though there's an entirely different aspect of the movie to discuss: Are audiences interested in this origin tale? Box-office researchers and prognosticators say "not so much" and we saw a great line in one of the first reviews that read "[the story] explains that which needed no explanation." We do feel like Wright has created an incredible-looking take on Neverland, and that Hugh Jackman's performance alone should make the movie worth viewing, but we also feel as though Pan could be the first box-office disappointment of the fall.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJoseph Gordon-LevittCharlotte Le BonBen KingsleyIn 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit recruits a team of people to help him realize his dream: to walk the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.Robert Zemeckis's photorealistic take on Philippe Petit's high-wire walk goes into wide release this week.
- DirectorAdriana TrigianiStarsAshley JuddPatrick WilsonWhoopi GoldbergIn a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, self-proclaimed spinster Ave Maria Mulligan finds her life shaken up and forever changed after learning a long-buried family secret.We're sort of feeling this small-town dramedy, a definite throwback to that sugar-sweetened era between Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. That audience still exists and they are criminally underserved by Hollywood, so the spinster Ave Maria Mulligan might nestle in for a good, long shelf life.
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsMichael FassbenderKate WinsletSeth RogenSteve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac.A collaboration between Danny Boyle, Aaron Sorkin, and Michael Fassbender is worthy of all the advanced attention that Steve Jobs has received, and we freely admit that we're so, so happy we've never seen that Ashton Kutcher movie so our imagination is free from bad movie-going experiences and having to make any comparisons. Also, we don't have to sit through anything about iOS 9 or the Apple Watch.
- DirectorTodd Strauss-SchulsonStarsTaissa FarmigaMalin AkermanAdam DevineA young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer.The difference between this slasher and the recent Abigail Breslin/Wes Bentley movie is: Taissa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, and company feel it's better to serve the horror audience some comedy with their homage to the 'final girl' trope. The cast is letter-perfect and director Todd Strauss-Schulson has a feel for comedy, so we're crossing our fingers for a true neo-classic experience.
- DirectorSebastian SchipperStarsLaia CostaFrederick LauFranz RogowskiA young Spanish woman who has recently moved to Berlin finds her flirtation with a local guy turn potentially deadly as their night out with his friends reveals a dangerous secret.Sebastian Schipper's single-shot crime epic has earned raves all over the world (it was a big winner at the Berlin International Film Festival) and having held our breath through the trailer many times, it's become one of the top movies on our fall radar. The soundtrack by Nils Frahm sounds like it deserves its own awards, too.
