NIGHT CATCHES US

Plot Summary: Two former Black Panthers come together as they try to rebuild their lives in normalcy, but the world around them won’t seem to let them.
Release Date: December 3, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: B-
Commentary: It has some great music, but there are some painfully cliched elements in the trailer suggesting a film that doesn’t have nearly as much to say as it should.
Rating: B-
Commentary: Like the trailer, this poster has some terrific elements but doesn’t exactly exude masterful impressions.
Trailer Link: Apple Trailers
Oscar Chances: None.

BOOGIE WOOGIE

Plot Summary: A backstabbing farce centering on the art world.
Release Date: April 23, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: C+
Commentary: It goes over most of the intricate treacherous things going on in the film, but it may just go too far in doing so. It makes it really hard to find something interesting in a film you already know so much about.
Rating: B-
Commentary: It’s a modestly fitting poster that celebrates the art world while shoring up its faith in sex.
Trailer Link: Yahoo Movies Trailers
Oscar Chances: None.

RED, WHITE & BLUE

Plot Summary: She may have found the man who would treat her right, but a sexually active young woman finds herself trapped in a dangerous situation that only he can get her out of.
Release Date: September 22, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: C+
Commentary: It’s a horror/thriller cross that seems to skew towards horrific even if emotionally charged.
Rating: B-
Commentary: I don’t even understand the point of the film’s title, but the poster plays into it quite well.
Trailer Link: Yahoo Movies Trailers
Oscar Chances: None.

MAKING PLANS FOR LENA

Plot Summary: Her family wants her to be happy, but the divorced mother of two doesn’t want their help and while trying to avoid them ends up falling for a younger man.
Release Date: August 13, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: C+
Commentary: Even the French can make films that look like rote exercises in romantic entanglements.
Rating: None
Commentary: None available.
Trailer Link: Yahoo Movies Trailers
Oscar Chances: None.

UNDER STILL WATERS

Plot Summary: A hitchhiker puts a wedge between a happily married couple and they seem to accept it until things start getting out of hand.
Release Date: April 23, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: C+
Commentary: The trailer sends mixed messages. The music suggests a horror film. The trailer suggests a tense thriller drama. The mixture may just disappoint both types of fans.
Rating: None
Commentary: None available.

Oscar Chances: None.

HIGH LANE

Plot Summary: Experienced climbers find adventure in traversing a narrow bridge across a great expanse only to discover a hunter waiting to track them down.
Release Date: September 22, 2010

Trailer

Poster

Rating: C
Commentary: It hits most of the horror film cliche high and low points, giving away far more information than necessary. It’s the kind of movie that hits theaters, does poor business and finds new life on DVD.
Rating: None
Commentary: None available.

Oscar Chances: None.
