Opening This Week - February 19
The Buzz:
What Jesse Owens accomplished athletically at the 1936 Olympic Games, winning four gold medals in track and field, is worthy of enduring wonder. But, when you consider that Owens' amazing performance happened under the eyes of Adolf Hitler in what was a highly politicized global sporting event in Berlin, it makes it all the more amazing — and all the more important in retrospect. As we see today, what happens in sports can reflect cultural currents, but it can be a powerful force in helping to change them, too. — Bret Federigan
The Buzz:
Being a fan of slow-burn storytelling and psychological horror, I'm more than ready for this Puritan terror that has earned some of the strongest and most consistent reviews I've seen in some time for a genre movie. The trailers and posters that have been released help set the mood for what I'm hoping is a nail-biting trip back to Colonial America. - Arno
The Buzz:
This is the first Colombian movie to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Oscar, and the country itself recently unveiled new incentives that are bringing TV and movie productions to the country. To pile on more good news: The nomination and hopeful box-office success means an heightened profile for The Wind Journeys director Ciro Guerra.
The Buzz:
Sonam Kapoor, who has been both cheered and jeered for her movie roles, comes to the forefront to play Neerja Bhanot, the flight attendant who lost her life while saving passengers aboard the hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 in September 1986. Extra-comforting is the fact that the Bhanot did not charge a fee for the right to tell Neerja's story. - Arno Kazarian
The Buzz:
This documentary was being made as Colorado legalized marijuana and the city of Denver experienced an immediate economic renaissance of sorts. The director and his interviewees know they're at the beginning of something revolutionary, tentative, and super-dramatic. This friction is what makes Rolling Papers a worthwhile view - along with the talking heads, who range from a family trying out a new medical treatment for their child, to a handful of classic stoner archetypes who are hoping to make a legal profit from their wares. - Arno
