This Week’s New Releases:
Comedy

American Guys Love & Plutonium
SYNOPSIS: (Feature Film)
Suburbiaville is a typical metropolis populated with very atypical characters. Evil genius Dr. Milo Medlo (Ph.D) and his loyal henchman Hank are forever at odds with local good girls Justice Kitten and Little Liberty, maintaining a balance of power so delicate that the rest of Suburbiaville hardly know they exist. But in the world of Good vs. Evil, an upset in the balance could result in world annihilation, or at least unemployment for the good girls and bad guys. So when Dr. Medlo falls in love with a receptionist named Holly and loses his desire for world conquest and various other evildoings, Hank and the lawful ladies must form an unholy alliance to sabotage the relationship or risk losing their livelihoods. Others become involved along the way: a doting mother, a washed-up R&B singer, and a little girl who just may hold the key to a secret that could blow the roof off of Suburbiaville. In this town, as in our lives, it’s a certainty that sometimes love goes boom!

The Changi Murals AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1

“4 of 5 stars” – GOREZONE MAGAZINE “…every film offers something fresh and unique to the horror genre… and had me thirsting for more.” – HORROR SOCIETY “… some of the best short films I have seen in a while. This is real film making at it’s best!” – HORROR NEWS “…consider adding this to your horror film collection. You won’t be disappointed.” – THEOFANTASTIQUE These films caused a buzz on the festival circuit – then vanished. If you saw them the first time you know what we mean. If you missed them then, enjoy them now. From a dark, cautionary tale (THE CRYPT CLUB with Alison Pill) to gallows humor on the job (GHOST BUSTED); from the grotesque otherworld inspired by H.P. Lovecraft (THE VEIL) to present-day outbreak fears (THE NINTH ENTRY); from the stylishly bizarre (MY SKIN!) and the chillingly macabre (OCULUS) to the dire family survival drama (OLD FRIENDS from the Director of SAW 6). Dim the lights & dig in for your own private horror film festival.

When peace was finally secured in 1989, more than 200 guerillas returned to Malaysia. But Chin Peng was not one of them. In fact there are many like him who have remained in southern Thailand, as stateless aliens, unable to step foot into the country they had given their lives fighting for. I Love Malaya is the story of their journey home.

D’ICI A LA (From Here to There): D’ICI A LA chronicles one man’s lifelong artistic work and spiritual quest. Filmed in France and India, D’ICI A LA follows French artist Eric Figue-Henric as he attempts to weave his two passions – art and spirituality – together. Cutting between India and France, we visit some of the places where Eric has lived and some of the influences behind his work. In France we see a retrospective of Eric’s paintings as he explains the vision behind the work. We watch as he conceives, plans, and executes a new piece of art. In India we travel with Eric to holy sites. We witness an audience between Eric and a realized soul and, at Sai Baba’s wishing tree, we discover Eric’s deepest desire…

Interrogate This- Psychologists Take On Terror: Most are unaware that psychologists had any role in interrogations of US national security detainees. This is a truly human story probing the heart of the debate amongst members of the world’s largest professional organization for psychologists: The American Psychological Association. Exclusive interviews, animation, contemporary and archival military footage, chronicle the evolution of a complex controversy plaguing this group-and the nation-since the capture and detention of suspected terrorists. Dissident psychologists dispute the ethics of mental health consultants working with interrogators in sites associated with human rights violations. Proponents of continued engagement, most with experience at Guantanamo and Iraq, support continued participation, ensuring the mental health of detainees and interrogators and to lend their skills in assessment and prevention of violence. The film reflects the complications associated with ethics, morality and national security.

After Katrina- Rebuilding St. Bernard Parish: Months after Hurricane Katrina barreled through New Orleans, the reality of what returning residents faced was tremendously misreported. This documentary focuses on the challenges and hardships of residents returning to St. Bernard Parish and the devastation that awaits them. An entire community was destroyed under the floods after the levees burst, displacing many thousands of families. With little government organization, slow relief, and abundant confusion, residents struggled recover.
