Sorry To Bother You

The Old Man and The Gun
released Friday December 7th, 2018

 

 

 

The Old Man and The Gun is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker – from his audacious escape from San Quentin prison at the age of 70, to an unprecedented string of bank robberies that captured the public’s imagination and left authorities dumbfounded.

From director David Lowery (A Ghost Story, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints), this charming film is the latest in the iconic career of actor Robert Redford.

 

The House That Jack Built
released Friday December 14th, 2018

 

 

Matt Dillon plays serial killer Jack, who leads us through his thought processes behind his increasingly more depraved acts of murder which he names “incidents”.
Following Jack over 12 years as he viscerally illustrates the murders that establish him as a ‘sophisticated’ serial killer, he gains confidence and flair, working towards his own twisted masterpiece.

After it’s controversial screening at the Cannes Film Festival, director Lars von Trier (Melancholia, Dogville, Dancer In The Dark) returns with a jaw-dropping serial killer thriller that explores violence and art, and violence as art.
