New Releases: Thanksgiving
Happy Turkey Day all around!
If you don't feel like joining the mob at the mall, what better way to spend the beginning of the holiday season than with some new independent movies? I can't wait to see Princess Mononoke. But if you're too stuffed to leave the house, you can always download Joe Cartoon's No Blood No Fowl from AtomFilms for some tasteless Thanksgiving humor.

This drama about an Irish construction worker in the Bronx won Best Cinematography
at Sundance.
Anna and the King
Catch a sneak preview of this retelling of The King and I (without the
music), starring Jodie Foster and world film star Chow Yun-Fat.
Felicia's
Journey
Atom Egoyan's new film is an adaptation of William Trevor's twisted novel about
an Irish girl who comes to England in search of her lover and finds a mysterious
butcher instead..... Starring Elaine Cassidy and Bob Hoskins.
Princess
Mononoke
I'm thrilled that this film is finally going into wider release. The top grossing
Japanese movie of all time, this beautifully drawn animated fantasy features
the voices of Claire Danes, Billy Crudup, and Gillian Anderson. Master of anime
Hayao Miyazaki directs.
Ride with the Devil
Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, and Jewel (!) reenact the Civil War.
Tumbleweeds
Like Anywhere But Here, only better (...and how could it not be better?):
a mother and sister move west. With Janet McTeer and Kimberly Brown.
