Old-fashioned, melodramatic account of the 50th anniversary of the doomed Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956, which privileges action and spectacle over analysis and moral ambiguity and is at its best in its visual recreation of the attempted revolution.

Dan in Real Life (Senior Screening)

Rooted in warm, middle-class family values and about as predictable and inoffensive as a TV sitcom, 'Dan in Real Life' is the story of an advice columnist and widower (Carell) who falls in love with his brother's girlfriend (Binoche).

Doomsday

In Marshall's derivative but enjoyable dystopian fantasy, Scotland 50 years on is a no-man's land ravaged by disease, cut off from England, and presided over by gangs of cannibals.

The Driver
Date Location
Hill's second film can be viewed as either an existential thriller, or a car chase movie about an ice-cold getaway driver and the obsessive cop trying to nail him. Take your pick. The dynamic chases rival even the most famous screeching wheelfest of them all in 'Bullitt'.
