Though Snow White and the Huntsman made $400 million worldwide, most people remember it as the movie set where Kristen Stewart stepped out on then-boyfriend Robert Pattinson with director Rupert Sanders, truly bringing an end to the Twilight saga. Though plans for the sequel didn't include Stewart, the addition of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain might help audiences easily forget Snow White, one thing Universal might have let slip is the fact that the original movie didn't hold up well (currently it has a low 6.1 rating on IMDb), so as much as the idea of Charlize Theron's army facing off against Emily Blunt's Huntsmen appeals in general, this second chapter might face a steep drop off in ticket sales after opening weekend.

So, maybe it wasn't the Yalta Conference. But for most folks, the greatest meeting of the 20th century just may have been when Elvis landed in the Oval Office to meet up with Tricky Dick President Richard Nixon himself on Dec. 21, 1970. The meeting was memorialized in what has become one of the most memorable if bizarre photographs of the last century. This latest offering from Amazon Studios provides the story behind that photograph and reveals a little bit about two cultural figures who still command much attention after their deaths, precisely because beneath their carefully crafted public veneers lay some seriously idiosyncratic personalities, now on full display again on the big screen. - Bret

Novelist/occasional screenwriter Dave Eggers gets another one of his works translated into a movie, a story focused on the Great Recession that was developed as an indie project and initially launched into the world at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, where world sales agreements helped get the last bits of money in place to make the movie. We're still surprised that Eggers's best-known book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, has never been turned into a film, and we're unsure of the general appeal here even with Tom Hanks portraying washed-up salesman Alan Clay. Though there appears to be lighter tones in the story, its framework is rather depressing.
The Buzz:
For his English-language debut, Gomorrah writer/director Matteo Garrone makes a wonderful decision to go even further out there than he did in his most recent project, Reality. At the heart of this decision is a tribute to the aesthetics and design of Italy's golden age of cinema, the sort of filmmaking that Garrone was compared to when he first hit the international film scene.
The Buzz:
Star Omar Chaparro got his start about a decade ago on the radio, where his character-focused comedy helped him make the tough transition into TV, where his celebrity status grew after winning a special edition of "Big Brother Mexico." Lots of voice-over work and movie/TV spin-offs followed (he appeared in Mexico's version of "Sex and the City" as well a the Fast and Furious parody Superfast!, and this action-comedy was created to help him cross over in the States, though you could say he's already a celebrity here, too.
The Buzz:
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World writer/director Lorene Scafaria offers up this mother/daughter comedy which, like so many others, seems to assert that the parent is more neurotic and annoying than their child. Really, though, it looks like Susan Sarandon's character is living mostly right to us since she always has a bag of fresh bagels handy, offers astrology-based advice, and has it going on to the degree where Harley-riding J.K. Simmons wants to spend the rest of his life with her, unconditionally.
The Buzz:
