Apartment 1303 3D

Opens Thursday, Jul 25, 2013 Synopsis: A woman moves into her late sister's Detroit high rise in order to investigate her mysterious death in this supernatural thriller starring Mischa Barton. When Janet Slate (Julianne Michelle) summoned the courage to strike out on her own, she had her whole life ahead of her. Newly independent in a downtown Detroit apartment, she was finally free from her overbearing, egomaniacal mother (Rebecca De Mornay). Then the unthinkable: Janet's boyfriend Mark (Corey Sevier) discovers her body in the middle of the street. Did Janet commit suicide by leaping from the ledge of her 13th-floor apartment, or were more sinister forces to blame for her untimely death? Convinced of foul play and determined to find answers, Janet's sister Lara (Barton) takes up residence in the apartment and begins searching for clues. Drawn to an ethereal nine-year-old girl who seems strangely attuned to the disturbing events unfolding in the building, Lara quickly realizes that should she fail to solve the mystery of Janet's death soon, many more lives -- including her own -- are sure to be lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Mischa Barton, Julianne Michelle, Corey Sevier, Rebecca De Mornay Movie Details Buy Tickets Movie Review

The Patience Stone

Opens Friday, Aug 16, 2013 Synopsis: Author Atiq Rahimi's adapts his own bestselling novel about a Muslim woman whose paralyzed husband unconsciously assumes the role of syngué sabour, which shields her from the sorrows of life in her war-torn village. Her unnamed Middle Eastern country caught up in the insurrection, the loyal, thirty-something wife faithfully sits watch over her vegetative husband, who has been all-but forgotten by his brothers and fellow Jihadists. Over time, she gathers the courage to tell her husband all of the things she had remained silent about during their 10 years of marriage. Throughout the course of their conversations, she speaks frankly of the disappointments, sorrows, and sacrifices that have made her life so difficult throughout the previous decade. Only in the company of her aunt, an understanding prostitute, does the despondent woman find any true comfort. Only weeks later, when the isolated wife enters into a relationship with a young soldier, does she begin to reveal the woman who she had kept locked up deep inside ever since the day she was married. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Golshifteh Farahani, Hamidrez Javdan, Hassina Burgan, Massi Browat Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

Byzantium

Opens Friday, Jun 28, 2013 Synopsis: Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan star in Interview With the Vampire director Neil Jordan's lavish yet decadent tale of a blood-sucking mother/daughter duo whose dark 200-year history threatens to catch up with them at a run-down hotel on the English coast. Their story begins during the Napoleonic Wars, when young Eleanor (Ronan) is abandoned as Clara (Arterton) falls into a passionate love affair. Two centuries later, demure Eleanor and extroverted Clara are on the run when they seek sanctuary in a dilapidated coastal resort. There, Clara sets her sights on a lonely soul named Noel (Daniel Mays), who has just inherited the Byzantium hotel, a once-thriving inn that has fallen into a sad state of disrepair. Before long, the elder vampire has transformed the Byzantium into a makeshift brothel where she and her young companion can quench their thirst for human blood while maintaining a low profile. Meanwhile, Eleanor falls for Frank (Caleb Landry Jones), a charming young waiter who unwittingly draws out the natural storyteller in her. Amidst a string of mysterious disappearances in the sleepy coastal town, Frank realizes that Eleanor's extraordinary tales are much more than simple fantasy. As Clara and Eleanor's sanguinary past slowly comes into focus, it's only a matter of time before the pair will be forced to either flee once again or face their fates with a sense of dark courage. Jonny Lee Miller and Sam Riley co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton, Caleb Landry Jones, Daniel Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Sam Riley Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
