The Identical (2014)
Twin brothers are unknowingly separated at birth; one of them becomes an iconic rock 'n' roll star, while the other struggles to balance his love for music and pleasing his father.
Director:Dustin Marcellino |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The fabulously named Blake Rayne plays two brothers in this story based on the life of Elvis Presley and his brother who died in childbirth. The script goes into theoretical territory by looking at the lives of the two siblings as they diverge during the Great Depression and follow different musical paths. Distributor Freestyle Releasing has some money to spend from God's Not Dead's success earlier this year and they found a gap in the release calendar to push this one out wide with no other new wide releases.

Forrest Gump (1994) - [IMAX Re-release]PG - Drama | Romance
Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny Curran, eludes him.
Director:Robert Zemeckis |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: An IMAX re-release for this 20th anniversary is thoroughly warranted - especially if you're a parent with a child who has yet to see the movie, which made $300 million at the box office (a tally which no 2014 release to date has hit) and won 6 Oscars. However you view the film, its historical recreations should look cool on the big, big screen.

God Help the Girl (2014) - [Limited]- Drama | Musical | Romance
As Eve begins writing songs as a way to sort through some emotional problems, she meets James and Cassie, two musicians each at crossroads of their own.
Director:Stuart Murdoch |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Belle and Sebastian bandleader Stuart Murdoch wrote and directed this film, which has received a fair amount of acclaim from festival-goers. At the risk of resorting to music-writing cliches: it makes sense for Murdoch to turn to filmmaking since his songs are so often cinematic in terms of their words and meanings. Sure, this story sounds like it was cribbed from the Nick Hornby playbook, but at least we get Emily Browning in a starring role. Like the last few Belle and Sebastian records, I'm not going to rush to judge this movie after a first viewing.

Kelly & Cal (2014) - [Limited]- Comedy | Drama | Family
Kelly, a punk-rocker turned suburban mom, is nostalgic for a life she can no longer have and uncertain of a future she doesn't yet fit in. Seventeen-year-old Cal is frustrated at his lack of control over the hand he's been dealt. When the two strike up an unlikely friendship, it's the perfect spark needed to thrust them both back to life.
Director:Jen McGowan |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Juliette Lewis was born to play this role, and her natural appeal is the best hope for Jen McGowan's feature directorial debut.

Frontera (2014) - [Limited]
A former Arizona sheriff's wife is killed while riding on their ranch property. It would appear a Mexican man illegally crossing into the US is at fault. As the former and the current sheriff search for answers, lives are changed forever.
Director:Michael Berry |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: I enjoy film reviews like this one, which give first-time indie directors a fair shake - especially when they show promise as non-traditional storytellers.

The Remaining (2014) - [Limited]
Friends gather at a wedding, but the celebration is shattered by terrifying apocalyptic events forcing them to examine life, love and faith as they must choose between redemption and survival.
Director:Casey La Scala |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The faith-based movie market gets a last-minute addition in the form of this comic-book adaptation from first-time director Casey La Scala, who has produced a number of crossover hits - Donnie Darko, A Walk to Remember, Welcome to Collinwood among them.

Feuchtgebiete (2013) - [Limited]- Comedy | Drama
The adventures of an eccentric girl who has strange attitudes towards hygiene and sexuality longs for the reunion of her divorced parents.
Director:David Wnendt |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Polarizing reviews always attract my attention. In this instance, the source material is Charlotte Roche's controversial novel, and, thankfully, the book is in the hands of a director who seems more interested in actual-real character development and a frank look at female sexuality that would make most males avert their gaze
