Movie 43 (2013)

	Movie 43 (2013)  Comedy An ensemble comedy intertwining different tales. Directors:  Elizabeth Banks | Steven Brill | Steve Carr | Rusty Cundieff |James Duffy | Griffin Dunne | Peter Farrelly | Patrik Forsberg | James Gunn| Bob Odenkirk | Brett Ratner | Jonathan van Tulleken Stars:  Emma Stone, Stephen Merchant, Richard Gere, Liev Schreiber

THE BUZZ: This is like the director's version of New Year's Eve, I guess. Sounds great in theory, and a potentially wasted opportunity to think beyond the big screen in terms of how to distribute such a project. In other words: a YouTube event? Huge traffic with lots of Likes and all the things that matter in the digital age. As a traditional release? Even I might wait to stream it.

Parker (2013)

	Parker (2013)  118 min   -   Crime | Thriller A thief with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist. Director:  Taylor Hackford Stars:  Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte

THE BUZZ: Are you...losing...interest...in....Statham, too? This time, there's Jennifer Lopez by his side and a Robin Hood theme running through the narrative, sorta. I'm amazed this is not a CBS Films release.

Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (2013)

	Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (2013)  Action | Fantasy | Horror In this dark spin on the fairy tale, siblings Hansel and Gretel are a formidable team of bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. Director:  Tommy Wirkola Stars:  Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen

THE BUZZ: For a minute there, we wondered if this one would ever get off the ground; to put it in perspective, development on writer-director Tommy Wirkola's follow up to Dead Snow has been in effect since David Fincher was circling Black Hole as his post-Benjamin Button option. Fast forward through all the actresses who've come and gone as Gretel (Diane Kruger, Eva Green, Noomi Rapace) and now we're just nervous that the movie's horror-comedy angle might prevent it from being a crossover hit.

LUV (2012)

	LUV (2012)  Drama 11-year-old Woody has to decide whether to follow in his hero's steps or become his own man as he spends the day with his recently paroled uncle, whose attempt to right his life hits an unexpected snag. Director:  Sheldon Candis Stars:  Common, Michael Rainey Jr., Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover

THE BUZZ: Common is more of a brand than an actor or rapper these days, but we have heard good things about his co-star, Michael Rainey Jr., in his debut role. Rainey Jr. will next appear as the younger version of Forest Whitaker's title character in The Butler.

Broken City (2013)

	Broken City (2013)  109 min   -   Crime | Drama | Thriller An ex-cop trailing the wife of New York City's mayor finds himself immersed in a larger scandal. Director:  Allen Hughes Stars:  Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kyle Chandler

THE BUZZ: From Menace II Society through The Book of Eli, Allen and Albert Hughes always worked in tandem as directors and producers, but Allen has gone solo for this presumably hard-boiled genre film written by Brian Tucker, who has no produced screenplays to his credit but has two projects in development -- a remake of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Basic Instinct soundalike called The Arrangement. Looking at Mark Wahlberg's upcoming movies, this one almost gets lost in the shuffle; for Russell Crowe, it's a pivotal role between a potential Oscar nomination for Les Misérables and his take on the character Jor-El in the Superman reboot Man of Steel.

The Last Stand (2013)

	The Last Stand (2013)  107 min   -   Action | Crime | Thriller The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff. Director:  Jee-woon Kim Stars:  Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eduardo Noriega, Forest Whitaker, John Patrick Amedori

THE BUZZ: This thriller, which has earned comparisons to High Noon, was almost made with Liam Neeson back when Taken made him to the go-to man for action-movie pitches. If the screenplay is as good as its Black List-status, and if I Saw the Devil director Kim Jee-Woon finds a balance between characterization and style, Sheriff Ray Owens might become another iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger hero.

Mama (2013)

	Mama (2013)  100 min   -   Horror Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they? Director:  Andres Muschietti Stars:  Jessica Chastain, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Megan Charpentier,Isabelle Nélisse

THE BUZZ: Looks like Guillermo del Toro is in proud-papa mode as he mentors filmmaker Andres Muschietti, who here adapts his short into what could be one of the most effective spins on the admittedly tired haunted-kid horror story. And we totally love Jessica Chastain's Dragon Tattoo makeover.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

	Zero Dark Thirty (2012)  157 min   -   Action | Drama | History | Thriller Metascore: 95/100 (28 reviews) A chronicle of the decade-long hunt for al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at the hands of the Navy S.E.A.L. Team 6 in May, 2011. Director:  Kathryn Bigelow Stars:  Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Mark Strong

THE BUZZ: Kathryn Bigelow's never known the level of controversy her follow-up to The Hurt Locker has generated. Even before cameras rolled on the recreation of the events leading up to the assassination of Osama bin Laden, a government watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against the CIA and the Department of Defense since details of the reported meeting between the agencies, Bigelow, and writer Mark Boal have not been released via the Freedom of Information Act. Seems like the filmmakers have been privy to classified information. And that situation is old news when compared to the early critical reactions, which range from laudatory to damning. It's the sort of real-world drama the industry and those who write about it could mutually benefit from, a reminder of when American films used to resonate beyond our desire for entertainment.

Storage 24 (2012)

	Storage 24 (2012)  87 min   -   Horror | Sci-Fi In London, a military plane crashes leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware that the city is in lockdown, a group of people become trapped inside a storage facility with a highly unwelcome guest. Director:  Johannes Roberts Stars:  Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock

THE BUZZ: Noel Clarke grinds out a handful of microbudget films a year in the UK, though in the US he's more the kind of performer who causes people to use this site to answer the question: What movie was he in? Magnolia Pictures follows their now-standard procedure of releasing the movie on VOD a month or so before its theatrical run, which is proving to be a savvy business model for the indie studio. In terms of the film itself, the premise is so ingenious we're surprised no one has thought of it before.

$ellebrity (2012)

	$ellebrity (2012) 89 min   -   Documentary Celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur gives an all access pass to life behind the velvet rope and in front of the camera. Director:  Kevin Mazur Stars:  Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kid Rock

THE BUZZ: Some of the chiefs behind this documentary on the rise of paparazzi culture have graciously contributed the photos for our event coverage over the years, and we wish them the best with the roll out of their new work.

Struck by Lightning (2012)

	Struck by Lightning (2012) 90 min   -   Comedy | Drama After being struck and killed by lightning, a young man recounts the way he blackmailed his fellow classmates into contributing to his literary magazine. Director:  Brian Dannelly Stars:  Chris Colfer, Rebel Wilson, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney

THE BUZZ: Unlike most of his "Glee" schoolmates, Chris Colfer might put the New Directions era behind him and wade into the world of filmmaking; his screenplay has earned favorable comparisons to everyone's favorite high school comedies, and there's the built-in cool factor knowing that his character narrates the story from the grave. That's totally Winona-approved.

Quartet (2012)

	Quartet (2012)  98 min   -   Comedy | Drama Metascore: 57/100 (6 reviews) At a home for retired opera singers, the annual concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday is disrupted by the arrival of Jean, an eternal diva and the former wife of one of the residents. Director:  Dustin Hoffman Stars:  Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay

THE BUZZ: As the new season of "Downton Abbey" nears its US premiere, no doubt older audiences will indulge in Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, which places Maggie Smith front and center as the grande dame who shakes up the populace of a home for quippy octogenarians. Reviews have been polite, as you might expect, but little more.

A Haunted House (2013)

	A Haunted House (2013)  Comedy Malcolm and Keisha move into their dream home, but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm - determined to keep his sex life on track - turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help. Director:  Michael Tiddes Stars:  Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Nick Swardson, David Koechner

THE BUZZ: Marlon Wayans presents his Paranormal Activity spoof months before Scary Movie 5-- the franchise Wayans helped launch -- tests its cultural relevancy. Scary will have more marketing power, but we bet Haunted will bring the funny.

Gangster Squad (2013)

	Gangster Squad (2013)  113 min   -   Action | Crime | Drama A chronicle of the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. Director:  Ruben Fleischer Stars:  Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Giovanni Ribisi

THE BUZZ: For his new movie Ruben Fleischer makes a wise directorial move away from action comedies and goes back to the midcentury for a hard-boiled crime drama with a fine ensemble cast. Its an awards friendly release date, but I'm thinking this will find its true success with audiences here and abroad. Screenwriter Will Beall is developing the potential Logan's Runremake to which gangster squader Ryan Gosling is attached.

A Dark Truth (2012)

	A Dark Truth (2012)  106 min   -   Action | Thriller A former CIA operative turned political talk show host is hired by a corporate whistle blower to expose her company's cover-up of a massacre in a South American village. Director:  Damian Lee Stars:  Andy Garcia, Kim Coates, Deborah Kara Unger, Forest Whitaker

THE BUZZ: Picture this: Eva Longoria playing a political activist. Has there been a better actress/character pairing since Tara Reid portrayed an anthropologist in Alone in the Dark? In an alternate universe, A Dark Truth is a Ben Affleck movie with Oscar buzz; in this world, the casting alone boggles the mind.

Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)

	Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)  92 min   -   Horror | Mystery | Thriller A young woman travels to Texas to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding killer is part of the reward. Director:  John Luessenhop Stars:  Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood, Trey Songz

THE BUZZ: The Sawyer family legacy has been carved up into separate remakes, prequels, and reboots, but it hasn't stopped Lionsgate from picking up the rights and creating a new movie that explores what the town of Newt, Texas did in the wake of Leatherface's notorious killing spree. Unsurprisingly, there's a Saw-like theme running through the plot, which was handed out freely at the American Film Market and widely distributed online, where it was met with collective indifference.
