We've also got some great picks for those of you who are looking for a smaller, quirkier film. 2 Days in New York tells the story of a journalist (Chris Rock) and his French photographer girlfriend (Julie Delpy) whose family decides to come to the United States to visit. Delpy wrote and directed this sweet, charming comedy. Welcome to the Dollhouse director Todd Solondz returns with Dark Horse, another dark, uncomfortable comedy about relationships. Finally, Natural Selection stars the wonderful Rachael Harris as a devout Christian housewife who learns that her dying husband has an illegitimate son and sets out to bring him to visit his father.
SERIES: The only series coming out this week is a welcome one for you Doctor Who fans. Series seven, part one of Matt Smith's portrayal comes out this week, with part two due to follow next year.
DOCUMENTARY: A family builds its 90,000 square foot dream home and then the real estate market collapses, causing them to adjust their lifestyle. This is the story behind The Queen of Versailles, one of the best reviewed documentaries of the year. You might be disgusted or sympathetic (or possibly even both) as you follow one family's idea of the American dream.
SUBTITLED: Even the Rain is set in Bolivia where a filmmaker played by Gael Garcia Bernal gets involved with protests against a corporation that is attempting to control their water supply. It's based a true part of Bolivian history.
PERFORMING ARTS: The recent revival of Stephen Sondheim's The Company stars Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer and Christina Hendricks in the story of five married couples as viewed by one single friend.
