IN BRUGES, a fresh, twisted take on the hit-man genre, opened this year’s Sundance Film Festival to plenty of rave reviews. Academy Award winning director (for the short film Six Shooter) and Tony nominated playwright Martin McDonagh makes his full-length feature-film debut with this medieval black comedy starring Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleason.
The ever-entertaining McDonagh sat down with us in Dallas to discuss the film and stayed for a Q&A with our audience after screening the film. Click the still below to check out both videos, and don’t forget that IN BRUGES opens 2/8 at the Angelika New York and 2/15 at the Angelika Houston & Plano.
TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE is undoubtedly one of the most important documentaries of the new year. The film is both a terrifying and enlightening experience for anyone unaware of the state of U.S. military prisons overseas, and writer/director Alex Gibney (ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM) sat down with us to discuss the making of the documentary and what he most wants audiences to take away from it.

The buzz on Marjane Satrapi’s PERSEPOLIS is growing hourly, and we thought we’d post one last exclusive clip before the movie opens this Christmas Day at the Angelika New York. View the clip below, or visit this post to see the trailer.
Directing and real-life duo Andrea Nix and Sean Fine sat down with us to answer a few questions about their upcoming film WAR/DANCE. This powerful documentary about refugee children in Uganda is already generating Oscar buzz, and opens tomorrow, 11/9 @ the Angelika New York. Don’t miss it!
Tell us a bit about War/Dance in your own words. What do you think will attract audiences to the film?
We hope you fall as hard for the kids in War/Dance as we did. It’s been a labor of love for us. If you know nothing about the war in northern Uganda, let us take you inside the lives of three kids who have been greatly affected, in their own words. To us this film is a really about a journey and at the end of the film, you’ll realize that this is not as much a film about war as it is about the resilience that gets them through it all. . If you love powerful cinematography, this is a very cinematic experience, if you love stories about the triumph of the human spirit you will really love this film, if you like films that take you into worlds you would otherwise never experience, this film will drawn you in, but we also predict that at the end you will feel a connection and familiarity to three kids that walking in, you would think you would have nothing in common with. We hope that whatever draws you to the movie theatre, you will be impacted by this movie and encourage others to see it (and since a portion of the proceeds go back to the kids, your helping just by buying a ticket).
