Noah (2014)
A man is chosen by God to undertake a momentous mission of rescue before an apocalyptic flood destroys the world.
Director:Darren Aronofsky |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: We admire Darren Aronofsky for not playing it safe after Black Swan since his Biblical epic is a huge gamble financially, commercially, and critically, even if it's a faithful telling of the story. This is the man who rebounded from The Fountain to make his most successful projects to date, but when you're telling a story from the Bible, it's hard to gauge who the audience is when you're not clearly and directly appealing to them.

Sabotage (2014)
Members of an elite DEA task force find themselves being taken down one by one after they rob a drug cartel safe house.
Director:David Ayer |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: David Ayer usually directs from his own screenplays, but here he's a hired gun for a fledgling movie studio looking to score a hit with an action-heavy spin on the classic Agatha Christie story. The premise seamlessly fits with the ensemble formula that has served Arnold Schwarzenegger well with The Expendables but outside of that franchise (and the upcoming/umpeenth Terminator resuscitation) theater-going audiences have indicated a lack of interest in Schwarzenegger's return to movies.

Cesar Chavez (2014)
A biography of the civil-rights activist and labor organizer Cesar Chavez.
Director:Diego Luna |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: In director mode here, Diego Luna has been quite outspoken about his struggle to get financing for this project after getting a green light from the family of Cesar Chavez and has gone on to call into question Hollywood's representation of Latinos in film and television. We're rooting for Luna's biopic to connect with audiences, with seems probably given the film's recent audience-award win at SXSW and well documented White House screening.

The Raid 2 (2014) - [Limited]
Only a short time after the first raid, Rama goes undercover with the thugs of Jakarta and plans to bring down the syndicate and uncover the corruption within his police force.
Director:Gareth Evans |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We love that the continuing story of Rama, a SWAT team member facing a potentially hyper-violent end to his young life at every turn, is one of the most anticipated sequels of the year. Yes, Gareth Evans's follow-up is a slightly bloated in a Apatowian sense, but he is without question one of the best genre directors working today and an example of how to get your projects made while remaining mostly outside the studio system.

Breathe In (2013) - [Limited]
When a foreign exchange student arrives in a small upstate New York town, she challenges the dynamics of her host family's relationships and alters their lives forever.
Director:Drake Doremus |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Impro-loving filmmaker Drake Doremus finds his latest project arrive with much less studio hype than its predecessor, the Paramount-backed Like Crazy. Interesting to note that Doremus is shifting away from romantic dramas with his next project, science-fiction tale Equals with Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult.

Finding Vivian Maier (2013) - [Limited]
A documentary on the late Vivian Maier, a nanny whose previously unknown cache of 100,000 photographs earned her a posthumous reputation as one the most accomplished street photographers.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The subject of street photography combined with Vivian Maier's mysterious personal life should help keep this documentary in theaters for several months, and you can always count on such works to show up on Netflix and other streaming sites soon after their theatrical release. And it's worth noting that the documentary is co-directed by John Maloof, the historian who happened upon Maier's photo archive, and Charlie Siskel, who produced Bowling for Columbine and Religulous.

Hide Your Smiling Faces (2013) - [Limited]
After a neighborhood tragedy, two adolescent brothers confront changing relationships, the mystery of nature, and their own mortality.
Director:Daniel Patrick Carbone |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We've not seen Daniel Patrick Carbone's feature debut yet, but with rave reviews from the festival circuit and favorable comparisons to Terrence Malick we expect his profile to rise with the announcement of his next project.

Mistaken for Strangers (2013) - [Limited]- Documentary | Comedy | Music
Tom Berninger chronicles his time spent on the road as a member of the tour crew for The National, the rock & roll band fronted by his brother, Matt.
Director:Tom Berninger |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Seems like Tom Berninger's documentary could be refashioned as a Duplass Brothers movie, but we hear it is, more than anything, an incredibly worthwhile addition to the ever-increasing list of rock & roll documentaries - distinguished by its outsider perspective.
