The Last Station
Christopher Plummer & Helen Mirren both got nominated for Oscars & Golden Globes for their turns as Mr & Mrs Tolstoy in this historical drama that illustrates the Russian author's struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things. Also featuring good ol' Paul Giamatti & James McAvoy.
The Maid (La Nana)
I (Pat) really want to see this Chilean movie that won for Best Foreign Film at Sundance & was nominated at the Golden Globes -- an "intimate, funny, & unpredictable" drama about a maid trying to hold on to her position after having served a family for 23 years. Plus it's being released by my new favorite production company Oscilloscope Laboratories, started by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch who said "It's exactly the kind of film that we want to help get out there."
The Red Desert
