Plot Summary: "Phoebe in Wonderland" is the fantastical tale of Phoebe (Elle Fanning), a young girl who longs to be in the school production of Alice in Wonderland. After her peculiar drama teacher Miss Dodger (Patricia Clarkson) casts her, Phoebe struggles to control her behavior so her Principal (Campbell Scott) won't kick her out. As Phoebe's stress mounts, her behavior grows worse, creating intense pressure on her parents Hillary and Peter (Felicity Huffman and Bill Pullman). Hillary, who already feels a failure in both her personal and professional life, desperately tries to understand and help her daughter. But this connection proves elusive as Phoebe begins retreating to an imaginary fantasy world peopled by characters from Alice in Wonderland, a world which grows increasingly disturbing and treacherous. As Alice observes to the Caterpillar, "It is very confusing being so many different sizes in a day," and in the end both Hillary and Phoebe (under Miss Dodger's tutelage) must try to navigate the strange, painful, exhilarating transformation from chrysalis to butterfly.

Plot Summary: A real crowd-pleaser, "Sherman's Way" starts with two strangers forced into a road trip of convenience only to veer off the path into a quirky exploration of friendship, fatherhood and the universal task of finding one's place in the world – a world in which one wrong turn can change your destination.
The ******* begins when Sherman, a young, uptight Ivy-Leaguer, finds himself stranded on the West Coast with an eccentric stranger and washed-up, middle-aged former athlete Palmer in an attempt to make it down to Beverly Hills in time for a career-making internship at a prestigious law firm. The two couldn't be more incompatible. Palmer is a reckless charmer with a zest for life; Sherman is an arrogant snob with a sense of entitlement. Palmer is content reliving his past; Sherman is focused solely on his future. But somehow over the course of the movie, they manage to meet in the middle.

Plot Summary: In today's world of unrelenting pressures, challenged survivals and super fast lifestyles, the major source of Relief, Information and Entertainment is... the TV. So much so, that it has moved up from its modest position of being just another 'household appliance' to actually determining the power equation in a family. It is easy to identify the hierarchy in the family depending on who controls the remote control. So what happens when the TV realizes this power and begins to take control? What happens when instead of showing you the facts, the TV, begins to show you what it wants you to see? What happens when Manohar, to his great horror, realizes that this is exactly what is happening with his wonderful family, who has just moved into their sweet new home at 13B.

Fados
Studio: New Yorker Films
Director: Carlos Saura
Screenwriter: Ivan Dias, Carlos Saura
Starring: Mariza, Camané, Carlos do Carmo, Cuca Roseta, Catarina Moura, Argentina Santos, Maria de Nazaré
Genre: Musical
MPAA Rating: Not Available
Official Website: Fados-Saura.com
Plot Summary: Renowned for taking the lead in creating exciting new hybrids of cinema, music and dance, Carlos Saura went to his neighboring Portugal to create Fados, a beautiful and exhilarating celebration of the "fado," a vibrant strand of contemporary world music sometimes referred to as "the Portuguese blues."
Tracing its African and Brazilian origins up to the new wave of modern "faudista" singers, Saura ingeniously deploys mirrors, back projections, lighting effects, and lush colors to frame each song, ranging from a campfire ringed by sinuous dancers to a balletic catfight between two jealous women, to a thrilling "desgarrada" (musical duel) in a "fado" café. The result is a ravishing fusion of cinema, song, dance and instrumental numbers.
Leading us through this musical journey are modern stars like Mariza, Carlos do Carmo, Catarina Moura, Argentina Santos, and Maria da Nazaré, along with guest appearances by Brazilian singers Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque, and homages to legends such as Amália Rodrigues. Saura expands the songs, traditionally involving a singer and a guitarist, with modern dance, hip-hop, flamenco and reggae. His non-purist approach conveys a grand vision of music's power to break down boundaries. Between Spain and Portugal, Old World and New, white and black, young and old, rich and poor, Fados is a celebration of "fado" as World Music in the fullest sense of the term. Under the musical supervision of Carlos do Carmo, it features one of the finest "World Music" soundtracks to date.
