Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.

The Buzz: What to love: motion-cappin' Andy Serkis playing off an even better cast the preceding film. What to question: Matt Reeves being swapped into the director's chair over Rupert Wyatt. Not a surprise but certainly a bummer. What to wish: James Franco farewell!

Boyhood (2014)
The life of a young man, Mason, from age 5 to age 18.
Director:Richard Linklater |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Richard Linklater is firmly back in independent-filmmaking territory and enjoying both warm welcomes and surprise hits. His unique latest project might find itself included in the parentheses that refer to his work from here on (next to Slacker and Dazed and Confused).

Land Ho! (2014)
A pair of former brothers-in-law embark on a road trip through Iceland.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Co-writers/directors Aaron Katz and Martha Stephens have earned acclaim for crafting a story about getting older that allows their adventure-seeking duo to share thoughtful, sober, and existential moments -- as well as some vulgar times, too. No wonder we keep thinking it's a documentary.

A Long Way Down (2014)
Four people meet on New Year's Eve and form a surrogate family to help one another weather the difficulties of their lives.
Director:Pascal Chaumeil |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Nick Hornby novels usually make for successful adaptations, save the U.S. remake of Fever Pitch, and this suicide-pact dramedy from director Pascal Chaumeil (whose Heartbreaker is a delight) might join the shallow pile of failures. When you look at the cast, it's hard to rectify how savage the reviews have been.

Sex Tape (2014)
A married couple wake up to discover that the sex tape they made the evening before has gone missing, leading to a frantic search for its whereabouts.
Director:Jake Kasdan |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: It makes total mainstream comedy sense to reunite Bad Teacher, the gym teacher who ultimately wooed her, and their director in a new movie that will put another filthy perspective on an otherwise conventional vocation: married life. The big screen has been surprisingly Segel-free for the most part with very few leading men willing to go full frontal in his absence. Cameron D. of course just worked The Other Woman into a huge success.

The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
A young couple works to survive on the streets after their car breaks down right as the annual purge commences.
Director:James DeMonaco |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: Some of us might hope for a world where Hollywood could not make any sequels for one year, but when your dystopian nightmare thriller thingy makes grosses over $60 million on a reported production budget of under $5 million, simple economics are going to keep this franchise going for at least another installment. The best things we see here are Michael K. Williams in the cast and Frank Grillo getting a starring role; he was just case in the remake of The Raid as well.

Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014)
When world-famous air racer Dusty learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his team, a bunch of all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

The Buzz: The "world above Cars" expands, even if most kids see this for the first time from the backseat of the minivan.

And So It Goes (2014)
A self-centered realtor enlists the help of his neighbor when he's suddenly left in charge of the granddaughter he never knew existed until his estranged son drops her off at his home.
Director:Rob Reiner |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We're not quite sure what changed for Rob Reiner as a director since The Bucket List is his lone triumph since the early-to-mid 1990s. His family focus isn't even attracting that audience (Flipped and The Magic of Belle Isle made $2 million at the box office combined). Would it be against his beliefs to really earn a PG-13 rating at this point in his career? Remember that Stand by Me was rated R.

Wish I Was Here (2014)
Aidan Bloom is a 35-year-old man who finds himself at major crossroads, which forces him to examine his life, his career, and his family.
Director:Zach Braff |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: There has to be a fair amount of pressure on Zach Braff to deliver the goods after his high-profile crowdsourcing for his new project, which arrives a full decade after Garden State. It's the kind of scenario that movie critics will prey upon. Our main question is: isn't 35 a touch early for a mid-life crisis?

Persecuted (2014)
An evangelist finds himself framed for murder and on the run after he refuses to back a senator's proposition calling for sweeping religious reform.
Director:Daniel Lusko |
| Watch Trailer |
|
|
I Origins (2014)
A molecular biologist and his laboratory partner uncover evidence that may fundamentally change society as we know it.
Director:Mike Cahill |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We like Brit Marling quite a bit but more so when she works with her other go-to collaborator, Zal Batmanglij, with whom she has made The East and Sound of My Voice. With Mike Cahill she's has made her dippy-science movie, Another Earth, whose script felt like it was written on rolling papers. And now this. Interesting to see her Earth co-star William Mapother back in a supporting role.

Mood Indigo (2013)- Comedy | Drama | Fantasy | Romance
Wealthy, inventive bachelor endeavors to find a cure for his lover Chloe after she's diagnosed with an unusual illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs.
Director:Michel Gondry |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Michel Gondry has assembled some of the top French film stars into a single project that continues to keep him out of the studio system that almost crushed his creative spirit after making The Green Hornet. Have we ever seen him so romantic before?
|

Alive Inside (2014)- Documentary | News
Dan Cohen, founder of the nonprofit organization Music & Memory, fights against a broken healthcare system to demonstrate music's ability to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it.
Director:Michael Rossato-Bennett |

Hercules (2014)Action | Adventure
Having endured his legendary twelve labors, Hercules, the Greek demigod, has his life as a sword-for-hire tested when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek his aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord.
Director:Brett Ratner |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The Brett Ratner factor is the alienating element here, but Dwayne Johnson leading an army that looks similar to Daenerys Targaryen's might be enough to defeat hack filmmaking. The Rock is the closest thing Hollywood has to a male movie star (his movies grossed $1.3 billion last year) so the biggest labor here is surpassing box-office expectations, which is always a challenge with the sword-and-sandals genre. Johnson and company might look overseas for their greatest victories.

Lucy (2014)
A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
Director:Luc Besson |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Luc Besson amps up Scarlett Johansson's super-heroine appeal with a story that smacks a bit of Leeloo if you allow yourself to hope for such a thing.
|
|
The Fluffy Movie (2014)
A comedy concert film that captures the on-stage performance and inspirational success story of Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We love it when comedians who are considered niche entertainers by some but are really mainstream players have break-through successes on the big or small screen. So please make your mark this weekend with your jean shorts and comfy sneakers, Fluffy.
|
|
Magic in the Moonlight (2014)
A romantic comedy about an Englishman brought in to help unmask a possible swindle. Personal and professional complications ensue.
Director:Woody Allen |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Any metaphor that concerns itself with Emma Stone's divine magnificence is a yarn we want to follow.
|
|
A Most Wanted Man (2014)
A Chechen Muslim illegally immigrates to Hamburg, where he gets caught in the international war on terror.
Director:Anton Corbijn |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We are comforted by the fact that one of Philip Seymour Hoffman's last roles is in this adaptation of John le Carré's novel from director Anton Corbijn, who may have stumbled with The American but has Control to his credit and Life coming out next year (with Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan).
|
|
Very Good Girls (2013)
Two New York City girls make a pact to lose their virginity during their first summer out of high school. When they both fall for the same street artist, the friends find their connection tested for the first time.
Director:Naomi Foner |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We're quite interested in seeing if this story distinguishes itself from dozens of other soundalike films because its author and director is Naomi Foner, the Oscar-nominated mother of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Happy Christmas (2014)
Irresponsible 20-something Jenny arrives in Chicago to live with her older brother Jeff, a young film-maker living a happy existence with his novelist wife Kelly and their two-year-old son. Jenny's arrival shakes up their quiet domesticity as she and her friend Carson instigate an evolution in Kelly's life and career. Meanwhile, Jenny strikes up a rocky relationship with the family's baby sitter-cum-pot dealer.
