The Buzz: Back in the mid-2000s, Sin City and 300 exposed the world of non-superhero comics to sunlight and became so successful that people like David Fincher looked to turn material such as Charles Burns's Black Hole into movies. Outsiders including Preacher, Sandman , Y: The Last Man were also candidates ... A decade later, it's a different landscape - one clearly dominated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Comics' tentative first steps into franchise-dom. How does Sin City's sequel fit into the frame? I'm not quite sure. The original didn't have the worldwide reach that 300 achieved, but it did earn just shy of $75 million in the U.S. (and $85 million overseas) but not only was that a different time - it was a different time of year (an early-summer release vs. late in the season here). I just don't see Marv, Nancy, and the others carving out the same territory, and it's always hard to gauge the behavior of a cult audience when viewing options abound. Looked what happened with Kick-Ass 2 - maybe the best direct comparison.

The journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur, who took the De La Salle High School Spartans from obscurity to a 151-game winning streak that shattered all records for any American sport.
Director:Thomas Carter |

The Buzz: It's getting easy to forget that Alexander Ludwig's leading-man status began inauspiciously with The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. Here, the young actor diversifies his appeal with a true-life sports drama from the director of Coach Carter.

If I Stay (2014)

Director:R.J. Cutler |

The Buzz: Acknowledging this movie's inescapable comparisons to The Fault in Our Stars, I can't help but think the story's insular nature and straight-drama feel will keep audiences at bay. That's quite a talented cast, no matter how the film plays or its opening weekend shakes out.

Love Is Strange (2014) - [Limited]
After Ben and George get married, George is fired from his teaching post, forcing them to stay with friends separately while they sell their place and look for cheaper housing -- a situation that weighs heavily on all involved.
Director:Ira Sachs |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Married to Alfred Molina? Easy. A dream. May Ira Sachs continue to be a source of twitchy, queer, warts-and-all filmmaking for years to come. His latest will play better with art-house audiences than its predecessor - the difficult and worthwhile Leave the Lights On.

| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The actor and activist who is as web saavy as your above-average Millennial is a prime and deserving documentary candidate; the filmmaker trick is - how to make a work as engaging as Takei is on a daily.
