Arlen Faber (Daniels) is the reclusive author of "Me and God," a book that has redefined spirituality for an entire generation and has been translated into over 100 languages. On the eve of the 20th anniversary of his still wildly popular book, Arlen is still sought after as the man who has all the answers. Arlen's life collides with Elizabeth (Graham), a single mom raising her seven year-old son, and Kris (Taylor Pucci), a young man fresh out of rehab who is searching for meaning. Both Elizabeth and Kris are hopeful that Arlen has the answers, but the truth is, he hasn't got a clue.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1] In the Loop
[/SIZE][/FONT] Studio: IFC Films
Director: Armando Iannucci
Screenwriter: Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci, Tony Roche
Starring: Tom Hollander, James Gandolfini, Anna Chlumsky, Steve Coogan, Chris Addison, Peter Capaldi, Paul Higgins
Genre: Comedy
Plot Summary: "In the Loop" is a smart comedy with razor-sharp, truly laugh-out-loud dialogue that pokes fun at the absurdity and ineptitude of our highest leaders. With everyone looking out for number one, and the fate of the free world at stake (but apparently incidental), the hilarious ensemble cast of characters bumbles its way through Machiavellian political dealings, across continents, and toward comic resolutions that are unforeseeable.

At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there's something wrong with Esther--this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1] Shrink
[/SIZE][/FONT] Studio: Roadside Attractions
Director: Jonas Pate
Screenwriter: Thomas Moffett
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Saffron Burrows, Jack Huston, Griffin Dunne, Robin Williams, Pell James, Robert Loggia, Keke Palmer, Laura Ramsey, Gore Vidal, Dallas Roberts, Mark Webber, Jesse Plemons, Ashley Greene
Genre: Comedy, Drama
MPAA Rating: R (for drug content throughout, and pervasive language including some sexual references)
Official Website: Shrinkthemovie.net
Plot Summary: What happens when the people we count on to hold us together... are barely holding it together themselves? Jonas Pate's "Shrink" is a striking, fast-paced exposé of the "other" Hollywood, featuring folks living outside their comfort zone and the people who put them there. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) is a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a once-famous actress (Saffron Burrows), an insecure young writer (Mark Webber), and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent (Dallas Roberts). Henry is not in a good place, however. He has been asked to take his first pro bono case, a troubled teenage girl from a neighborhood far from the Hollywood hills. Considering his present state of mind, is he ready for the real-life troubles of a young woman who loves the world of movies he has become so jaded by? At its core, "Shrink" is a study of control and our endless need for it, even when it grows increasingly impossible to obtain. Writer Thomas Moffett uses classic archetypes in this modern Hollywood tale, but never pushes them over the edge of credibility. Performed by a well-matched cast at the top of their form, the result is both satisfying and exhilarating. Watching "Shrink" makes us feel like voyeurs looking through a window into the lives of people who look great, feel worse, and end up behaving badly.

Official Website: SurvivingCrookedLake.com
Plot Summary: In this sensual, intense, indie feature drama, a quartet of teenage girls embark on a canoe-andcamping trip with a slightly older male guide in the endless wilderness of the Canadian Shield. His younger sister Steph – who is desperately afraid of the water – is one of the campers. Once the group is underway, romantic tensions erupt and disaster strikes, forcing the girls to face a grueling and desperate trip back to civilization.
Shot in tight close-ups with a fluid camera that sees the landscape first as an embodiment of desire and second as a distortion of reality, "Surviving Crooked Lake" crackles with suspense and
intrigue. It will leave you wondering about the mysteries of the adolescent heart and mind of the bonds of family, and to the looming influence of nature and landscape. "Surviving Crooked Lake"
makes for an elemental example of the cinematic survival story, in the tradition of "Deliverance" and "Open Water."
