Bridget Jones's Baby (2016)
Bridget's focus on single life and her career is interrupted when she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch ... she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby's father.
Director:Sharon Maguire |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: There's a tremendous amount of goodwill greeting Bridget Jones as she returns for her third, long-in-development outing, which reunites Renée Zellweger with director Sharon Maguire, who helmed the original movie. Patchy story ideas are smoothed over by Zellweger's warm on-screen presence, and we have to say that way that she's holding up against all the critiques of her appearance and her marriage to Kenny Chesney -- both subjects are omnipresent news topics of late -- makes us appreciate her return even more.

Blair Witch (2016)
After discovering a video showing what he believes to be his sister's experiences in the demonic woods of the Blair Witch, James and a group of friends head to the forest in search of his lost sibling.
Director:Adam Wingard |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: Some 17 years after The Blair Witch Project first terrorized and delighted horror fans, a direct sequel is finally here - or at least one that the original co-creators Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez are fully behind (let's not even mention the sequel). This time around, director Adam Wingard has fashioned a tale for the millennial set, with just enough continuity - it appears from the trailer - with the original to keep even the most skeptical of sequel cynics satisfied. Does our protagonist James really think he's going to find out what happened to his sister in the haunted forests of Maryland? Perhaps. But it's just that sort of bravado-before-the-moment-of-reckoning that I can't wait to see gradually unfold and eventually crumble. Blair Witch, I'm ready for you. - Bret

Snowden (2016)
The NSA's illegal surveillance techniques are leaked to the public by one of the agency's employees, Edward Snowden, in the form of thousands of classified documents distributed to the press.
Director:Oliver Stone |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: After watching Laura Poitras' Oscar-winning documentary Citizenfour, I was left with so many questions about Edward Snowden. Sure, there were a ton of articles written about him, but I was curious to know more about the life of Snowden before he decided to take on the government. Who better to tell that story than conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Oliver Stone? Sign me up! - Michelle

Hillsong: Let Hope Rise (2016)
A documentary on the Australia-based band Hillsong and their rise to prominence as an international church.
Director:Michael John Warren |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: This concert documentary was one of the titles that was gathering a tiny bit of dust on the shelves at its original distributor, Relativity Media, who has been going through an in-public restructuring under new chiefs Kevin Spacey and his longtime producing partner Dana Brunetti. Once rights to the doc reverted to its producers, they partnered with savvy indie studio PureFlix for what should be a successful tour of big screens.

Wild Oats (2016)
Everything changes for Eva when she receives a life insurance check accidentally made out for $5,000,000 instead of the expected $50.000. She and her best friend take the money and head out for the adventure of a lifetime.
Director:Andy Tennant |
The Buzz: Flying under the radar despite the more than welcome pairing of Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange, this road comedy is the kind of movie that has a chance of a healthy run thanks to good, old fashioned audience word-of-mouth. Who doesn't want to live out a fantasy set in Gran Canaria, Spain?

Silicon Cowboys (2016)- Documentary
Three friends dream up the Compaq portable computer at a Texas diner in 1981, and soon find themselves battling mighty IBM, for PC supremacy. Their improbable journey altered the future of computing and shaped the world we now know.
Director:Jason Cohen |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Living in San Francisco, I could use a reminder that the personal computing revolution was started by truly pioneering nerds who were out to dethrone giant, and this documentary goes back to a beginning of sorts: the PC boom of the 1980s. - Arno

Miss Stevens (2016)- Comedy | Drama
A comedy focused on a teacher who chaperones a group of high schoolers to a state drama competition.
Director:Julia Hart |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: There's an undercurrent of potential ick running through this movie's trailer - one that finds Miss Lily Rabe potentially getting too close to her student, who is played by Timothy Chalame - but I understand the true tones of the movie are more concerned with illustrating the complexity of boundaries instead of just pushing them for shock value. - Arno

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016)- Documentary | Music
A compilation of found footage featuring music, interviews, and stories of The Beatles' 250 concerts from 1963 to 1966.
Director:Ron Howard |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: From Europe to the States and then back to the UK, we're looking forward to going back in time to see The Beatles when they were more of a united band and less of a foursome of incredibly talented musicians striving to get their individual viewpoints to the forefront of the world's #1 rock group.

The Good Neighbor (2016)- Thriller
A pair of mischievous high school kids create the illusion of a haunting on an unsuspecting neighbor. While keeping his every reaction under surveillance, they see much more than they bargained for.
Director:Kasra Farahani |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: While a lion's share of attention this week will be focused on the return of the Blair Witch, this indie thriller from director Kasra Farahani received strong reviews from genre sites and audiences at SXSW earlier this year, and from the look of James Caan's performance, there's plenty of reason to believe the hype.
