Al Pacino gives an excellent performance in this charming story of redemption. He plays a hard-partying, aging pop-star who hasn't done anything new in years. When his manager (Christopher Plummer) finds a letter written to him decades ago from John Lennon telling to stay true to himself, he is spurred to write new music, find age-appropriate love, perhaps with the resistant suburban chain motel manager (Annette Bening) where he moves as he tries to connect with his long-estranged son (Bobby Canavale) and family. This feature debut of screenwriter Dan Fogelman (Crazy Stupid Love, Tangled) is a clever, heart-warming comedy with a soundtrack of Lennon's songs. trailer

This goofy, kooky animated adventure features a lonely, wimpy alien who finds himself on Earth and on the run from his own people. He forms an unlikely bond with a spunky girl who is on a quest of her own. On their comic misadventures they learn that being different and making mistakes are only part of growing up. Based on the book The True Meaning of Smekday, and with excellent voicework by actor Jim Parsons (TVs Big Bang Theory), popstar Rihanna, and funny guy Steve Martin, Tim Johnson (Antz, Over the Hedge) directs this silly and sweet story. trailer

This Oscar-nominated Argentinian film is an outrageous and darkly comic anthology of six unrelated vignettes that all revolve around a theme of revenge. In each story, vulnerable people succumb to stress, become explosively unpredictable, and lose control. Surprising, audacious, slightly deranged and mostly all hysterically funny, these short films from writer-director Damián Szifrón show his great skill in filmmaking that emulates the wackiness of the films of Pedro Almadóvar, a producer. trailer
