It's positioned as the first installment of a trilogy and, if Christensen follows through on the character's promise of greater charisma and depth, I'll willingly line up for the next two.

SEMI-PRO
 
FEATURING: Will Ferrell,
Woody Harrelson, Andre Benjamin,
Maura Tierney, Will Arnett,
Andy Richter, Rob Corddry
 
Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of the maverick ABA – a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song “Love Me Sexy” to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon’s franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible – win.

Very much in the tradition of Slap Shot, Semi-Pro scores big laughs with the rowdy play-by-play of hard-luck hoopsters struggling for professional survival.
Joe Leydon

You can't help but marvel, and laugh at, Ferrell's indefatigable enthusiasm and willingness to make a complete ass of himself..
Peter Howell

Even when the script, by Scot Armstrong, shoots airballs, Ferrell is a slam-dunk. .

Eminently likable. And there's something about Gondry's persistent nostalgia that feels contemporary, or opportune, at least.
Carina Chocano

It’s inviting, undemanding and altogether wonderful. You’ll want to see it again, or at least Swede it yourself.

For all of Gondry's undeniable talent, it would be hard to imagine him pulling off this delicate and even cornball conceit without his star, Jack Black.

THE COUNTERFEITERS
 
FEATURING: Karl Markovics,
August Diehl, Devid Striesow,
Martin Brambach, August Zirner
Winner of the 2008 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Stefan Ruzowitzky's THE COUNTERFEITERS is the first film from Austria to ever receive that prestigious honor. Based on the memoir by Adolf Burger, the film tells the inspiring story of a pre-World War II criminal whose cunning and fiery spirit enable him to overcome deadly odds and survive life in Germany's Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Before the war, Salomon Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) was one of the world's most ingenious counterfeiters, until he was finally caught and arrested by Friedrich Herzog (Devid Striesow). Years later, as the Nazi movement is in full swing, the nefariously charming Herzog--now a Nazi leader--recruits Sorowitsch to lead an enormous counterfeiting project called Operation Bernhard. Placed in a horrific position of moral corruption, Sorowitsch is forced to decide whether or not to save his own life or prevent the Nazis from causing further damage on an even grander scale. His fellow prisoner Adolf Burger (August Diehl) is determined to sabotage the operation, but Sorowitsch understands how dangerous a proposition this is.

2008 ACADEMY AWARD WINNER:
Best Foreign Language Film
 

Without doing anything so divisive as taking sides, Counterfeiters pays sympathetic attention to those who play their cards to win even when the rules are terrible, not least because the remarkable Markovics is so riveting as an unsaintly survivor.
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

The Counterfeiters is a testament to guile. [Director] Ruzowitzky scored the picture with tangos, and the tangos are meant to be Sally’s music -- seductive, insolent, triumphant.

THE BAND'S VISITS
FEATURING: Sasson Gabai,
Ronit Elkabetz, Saleh Bakri,
Khalifa Natour, Shlomi Avraham,
Uri Gavriel, Imad Jabarin
THE BAND'S VISIT, is a subtle, heartfelt, and humane work that goes a long way toward dissolving the incredibly complex cultural divide that continues to plague the Middle East. When the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra flies from Egypt to Israel to perform at the opening of an Arab culture center, they are left stranded at the airport. Their leader, Tewfiq (Sasson Gabai), orders the handsome violinist, Khaled (Saleh Bakri), to solve their predicament, but it turns out that he's gotten the wrong information. By that time, it's too late. All eight members are left standing alone in a quiet desert town far from their intended destination with no way to get where they need to go. Tired, hungry, and confused, they find shelter at a restaurant run by the pretty but brash Dina (Ronit Elkabetz). It's clear that Dina is bored with her lonely life, so she talks Tewfiq into letting the band stay over for the night: he and Khaled will stay with her, and the others will be put up at the home of Itzik (Rubi Moscovich). Over the course of the night, Tewfiq and Dina bond, Khaled helps a hapless local discover his inner Romeo, and the other band members find themselves caught up in a domestic situation that is less than perfect. THE BAND'S VISIT is funny, lonely, inspiring, sad, and beautiful all at once.

ARABIC AND HEBREW WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES

 

Something marvelous happens as the filmmaker, in his first feature, expertly metes out small scenes of communication between people taught, for generations, to be wary of one another: This Band swings with the rhythms of hope.
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

This modest little fable from Israel, in English, Hebrew and Arabic, has spellbinding resonances, yet never breaks the spell by blowing its own horn.
Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

The Israeli film that's become celebrated for what it lacks -- enough Hebrew to contend for the best foreign language Oscar -- can now be seen and appreciated for what it has in abundance: visual wit, verbal charm and a completely droll sense of humor.

This nicely observed dramedy about '70s-era Hamptons clam-diggers hits a dramatic bottleneck.

THE AIR I BREATHE
 
FEATURING: Andy Garcia,
Brendan Fraser, Kevin Bacon,
Forest Whitaker,
Sarah Michelle Gellar
 
Forever linked together by ruthless crime boss, Fingers (Andy Garcia), and a series of unpredictable twists of fate, the characters of this film weave together in an existential study of luck, both good and bad. A timid businessman (Forest Whitaker) bets his life on a horse race after he discovers that the fix is in; a fragile pop star (Sarah Michelle Geller) finds her management contract has been unexpectedly changed; a gangster (Brendan Fraser) who can see the future must decide whether to follow his vision; and a doctor (Kevin Bacon) tries to save the love of his life from a deadly injury. As these stories give way to hidden connections and underlying similarities, The Air I Breath uses this unlikely mix to of drama and characters to dramatize an ancient Chinese proverb that evokes life's four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and love.
