Misconceptions on AllMovie Misconceptions (2008)
This lighthearted comedy pokes fun at the culture wars, and the debate
over same-sex parenting. Southern gal Miranda is an Evangelical
Christian with all the social and political beliefs dictated by her
church, but when she gets what she's sure is a message from God, she
does a 180 and decides to become a surrogate mother for a married gay
couple from Boston. It's a weird enough situation as it is, but things
get even crazier for Miranda when one of her baby-daddies-to-be decides
to come down South for a visit -- and won't leave!

Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema on AllMovie Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema (2008)
An uneducated gas station attendant with a taste for the finer things in
life turns to crime as a means of making ends meet, only to find
himself on a dangerous collision course with the biggest drug dealer in
town. All Lucky Kunene wanted out of life was a house by the water, a
beautiful wife, and a 7-series BMW. Unfortunately, Lucky hails from a
poor Soweto family, and his application for a university grant has just
been refused. Dejected at the thought of spending the rest of his life
pumping gas, Lucky teams up with his best friend, Zakes, to start
stealing cars. At first the endeavor proves remarkably lucrative --
providing Lucky with enough cash to purchase a refrigerator, a nice
suit, a classy wardrobe, and a hi-fi stereo system -- but before long
the two thieves realize that their profile is becoming dangerously high,
and that in order to avoid arrest they will have to relocate. Five
years after moving to Hillbrow, Lucky and Zakes are the operators of a
deadbeat taxi service. Their criminal lifestyle has gotten them nowhere,
and rival taxi gang members are literally gunning for them night and
day. Lucky shares a cramped apartment with 20 other people, mostly
junkies, prostitutes, and immigrants with nowhere else to go. Though
their existence seems bleak, the group manages to pool their resources
and form the Hillbrow People's Housing Trust. But just as Lucky enters
into the world of real estate, local detective Blackie Swart makes it
his mission to capture the so-called "Hoodlum of Hillbrow" and Nigerian
drug kingpin Tony Ngu lays claim to the city. With two of the city's
most notorious criminals both preparing for the ultimate showdown,
Detective Swart will have to work overtime in order to prevent the
streets from becoming a virtual war zone.
the Thorn in the Heart (2009)
Filmmaker Michel Gondry turns from the playful semi-surrealism of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep to the personal story of a beloved family member in this documentary. Suzette Gondry is Michel's aunt and a retired schoolteacher; she educated children in rural communities in France from 1952 to 1986. While Suzette was committed to the education of all her students, she was a particularly close with one in particular -- her son, Jean-Yves, with whom she's had a loving but sometimes combative relationship. Michel accompanies Suzette
on a journey in which she visits the many schools where she taught --
or the sites where those schools once stood -- and speaks of her
experiences. She also meets some of her former students, and it's clear
they recall Suzette as a woman with a kind heart but a strong will, and her determination earned her the enmity of a few of her charges. L'Epine dans le Coeur (aka The Thorn in the Heart) was an official selection at the 2009 BFI London Film Festival.
Udaan on AllMovie Udaan (2010)
A young man must defend his dreams against a father who barely knows him
in this coming-of-age drama from India. Rohan (Rajat Barmecha) is a
bright, sensitive youngster who dreams of becoming a writer some day.
Rohan has spent eight years in a boarding school, but when he's
unexpectedly expelled, he comes home to Jamshedpur and his father (Ronit
Roy) who is practically a stranger to him. Rohan is introduced to Arjun
(Aayan Boradia), a half brother he didn't even know he had, and learns
that his life is about to change -- rather than studying literature, his
father has decided he will focus on engineering, and he'll be
performing manual labor in father's steel mill in his spare time.
Between his job and his new academic commitments, Rohan's life is turned
upside down, and he must learn to assert himself around a man who wants
to reshape him into his own image. The first feature film from director
Vikramaditya Motwane, Udaan was an official selection at the 2010
Cannes Film Festival.
Tales From the Script on AllMovie Tales From the Script (2009)
While the director is usually seen as the key creative figure behind a
film, it's the screenwriter who writes the story that puts a picture
into motion, and 46 noted scenarists offer an inside look at the art and
industry politics of working in Hollywood in this documentary. Ranging
from Academy Award-winning veterans to budding writers who've just
gotten their feet in the door. Tales From the Script
gives these artists a chance to talk about the craft of screenwriting,
its place in the filmmaking process, and the paradox that while a movie
may start with a great script, that doesn't mean that what was written
will necessarily show up onscreen. (As Dennis Palumbo, who wrote My Favorite Year, puts it, "Writers are egomaniacs with low self-esteem.") Including exclusive interviews with William Goldman, Frank Darabont, Paul Schrader, Larry Cohen, David S. Ward, Ron Shelton, and John Carpenter, Tales From the Script received its world premiere at the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
Zenith on AllMovie Zenith (2010)
This complex, highly cerebral sci-fi thriller concerns a father and son,
each situated in two separate time periods - one inhabiting the
present, and another living forty years in the future. Each senses the
same conspiracy afoot, and begins searching for answers; instead of
attaining deeper insights into external events, the men find that their
investigations drive them into states of endless introspection.
Ultimately, each must grapple with the same Faustian bargain - and each
makes a very different choice.
