Wanderlust (2012)
Rattled by sudden unemployment, a Manhattan couple surveys alternative living options, ultimately deciding to experiment with living on a rural commune where free love rules.
Director:David Wain |

The Buzz: Jennifer Aniston's celebrity makeover starts here, with a daring venture into nudity, bi-sexuality, drug use, and Wal-Mart protests. We're with you all the way, friend. Can writer-director David Wain become super-famous now, please?
|
Good Deeds (2012)
Businessman Wesley Deeds is jolted out of his scripted life when he meets Lindsey, a single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building.
Director:Tyler Perry |
| Watch Trailer Get Showtimes |
-
The Buzz: Tyler Perry keeps cranking it out, and 2012 should be an interesting, Madea-less year for him as he takes on Alex Cross, the role Morgan Freeman originated and Idris Elba was set to take over for director Rob Cohen. This will be Perry's first starring role in a project he didn't direct, perhaps an attempt to widen his appeal. It's worth noting that Deeds has a more diverse cast than previous Perryisms, too.

Gone (2012)
When her sister disappears, Jill is convinced the serial killer who kidnapped her two years ago has returned, and she sets out to once again face her abductor.
Director:Heitor Dhalia |
| Watch Trailer Get Showtimes |
The Buzz: It's back-to-back blandly titled thrillers for Amanda Seyfried, though let's take a moment to acknowledge In Time's worldwide success (it made $100+ million outside of the U.S.). Though the poster looks like the cover of a mass-market paperback and the PG-13 rating is a snooze, I'm looking forward to see her face down a killer and anticipate a twist or two at the end. I assume director Heitor Dhalia got the job for his work on Adrift, the Camille Belle drama that didn't get a U.S. release but played well on the foreign festival circuit.

Act of Valor (2012)
An elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent.
|
| Watch Trailer Get Showtimes |
The Buzz: While the industry tracks the moves of the Bandito Brothers -- co-directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh's savvy upstart production company that will make a mint if Valor connects with the American Heartland and elsewhere -- the focus is away from scandal plagued studio Relativity Media for now.

The Forgiveness of Blood (2011) - [limited]- Drama
An Albanian family is torn apart by a murder, resulting in a blood feud that finds Nik becoming the prime target and his sister, Rudina, forced to leave school in order to take over the family business
Director:Joshua Marston |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Joshua Marston's follow-up to Maria Full of Grace doesn't have the same momentum as its release date approaches, but those who have seen it credit Marston for his compassionate understanding of cultural nuances and what happens when thoroughly modern teenagers are forced to assume adult roles.
|
The Fairy (2011) - [NYC]- Comedy | Drama
A hotel clerk searches all over Le Havre for the fairy who made two of his three wishes come true before disappearing.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Based on their own merit and Le Havre's recent success, the third film from Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, and Bruce Romy (a performance trio and one of the more atypical filmmaking collectives around) is their best shot to date at art-house dominance.
|
Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)
When their country is invaded and their families are taken, eight unlikely high school teenagers band together to fight.
Director:Stuart Beattie |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Facebook is handling the online release of this Australian hit -- a blockbuster by native standards that has two sequels in development. Yes, it reads like Red Dawn fashioned for the CW network, and since it will mostly be available online, people like me will be able to indulge their curiosities and/or be in complete denial of ever having watched it.
