New on DVD: Adventureland, Trouble the Water, Rudo y Cursi
2009-08-26 09:00:14Falco rocks "Amadeus" on repeat in Greg Mottola's lovely and hilarious Adventureland, out on DVD today. Set in a seedy Pennsylvania amusement park in 1987 and starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristin Steward, Adventureland is still one of our favorite films of the year. (Compare prices.) Just in time for the four-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the powerful documentary Trouble The Water is also available on DVD today. With the help of footage she shot herself, the film follows Kimberly Rivers, aka Black Kold Medina, a rap artist from the Ninth Ward who is too poor to leave New Orleans before the storm. Related: a video interview with the first resident of Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" houses. (Compare prices.) Fans of Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna might also be interested in the soccer comedy Rudo y Cursi, the first time the two heartthrobs shared the screen since Y Tu Mama Tambien. (Compare prices.)
Norwegian Film Alert: Troubled Water Screens in New York
2009-10-19 09:00:04I was lucky enough to see Eric Poppe's Troubled Water last year at the Hamptons Film Festival. The film won both the Golden Starfish for Best Narrative Feature and the Audience Award -- and then it disappeared. Troubled Water tells the parallel stories of a man who is released from prison eight years after killing a child, and the child's mother. A riveting drama about guilt and redemption, the film at times takes the shape of a thriller. Trine Dyrholm is particularly wonderful and never once slips into stereotype in the role of the grieving mother. Unfortunately, I can't announce a glorious theatrical release for Troubled Water. The good news: if you live in New York and are free this Wednesday, you can catch a one-time screening atàScandanavian House. Film Movement will release Troubled Water on DVD next February.

Stream This! New on Netflix Watch Instantly: The Orphanage, Troubled Water, Priceless
2010-02-11 09:00:03We're thrilled about the way the web is opening up new avenues of distribution for movies that aren't getting much love at multiplexes across the country -- but thanks to services like Netflix Watch Instantly, you can now stream these underappreciated films straight to your TV. We'll occasionally point you to overlooked gems you may have missed and which are now, thanks to the wonders of the web, only a click away. Hooray for living in the future. The Orphanage This sophisticated and supremely creepy ghost story was Spain's entry for the 2007 Academy Awards. The debut by Juan Antonio Bayona also stars the beautiful Belén Rueda and Geraldine Chaplin. Read Jürgen's review and watch The Orphanage in HD on Netflix. Troubled Water We rooted for Eric Poppe's riveting drama at the 2008 Hamptons Film Festival -- where it promptly won the Golden Starfish and the Audience award, only to disappear. If you blinked, you might have missed the one-time screening at the Scandinavian House. Luckily, this tale of crime and redemption, starring the wonderful Trine Dyrholm, is now available online. Read Marcy's review and watch Troubled Water on Netflix. Priceless If creepy and gripping don't do it for you, maybe you're in the mood for a glimmering French trifle. Priceless, starring Amelie's Audrey Tautou, is a forgettable but enjoyable romance about lovers and gigolos set in the glitzy hotels of the Cote d'Azur. If you're snowed in like us, this might be just the way to spend the day. Read Jürgen's review of Priceless and watch it on Netflix. More: Online MoviesStream This!
