| Paper Man
|
(2009 Kieran Mulroney)
Struggling writer Richard Dunne (Jeff Daniels) is unhappy with his status in middle age, but his friendship with a young woman (Emma Stone) helps him make it through the day, much to the anger of his wife (Lisa Kudrow). Though that description might sound rather pedestrian, this dramedy adds a twist to the formula by introducing Richard's imaginary friend, a superhero played by Ryan Reynolds.

(1999-2005 Jerzy Sladkowski)
"Paradiset" är dokumentärfilmaren Jerzy Sladkowskis tredje film om Kirunaparet Hans och Kerstin Stralström. Vi har träffat dem förut, först i filmen "Tango, gräl och ledbesvär" (1999) där det tangobitna paret under stora diskussioner och olika lektioner i tangodansens turer slutligen hamnar i Buenos Aires för att lära sig "riktig" tango.
I den andra filmen "Lappsjukan" (2001) kommet det besök till paret i Kiruna från de två galanta och lite överåriga Don Juan-vännerna Guillermo och Juan som paret mötte i Buenos Aires. De båda männen konfronteras med Norrlands vidder, skogen, tystnaden, bastubad och surströmmingsfest hos Hans och Kerstin.

| Perfect Day, A
|
(2015 Fernando León de Aranoa)
It’s just another day on the job for a band of badass war zone rescue workers as they defy death and confront war’s absurdities. The setting is 1995, “somewhere in the Balkans”. Over the course of 24 breathless hours, Mambrú (Benicio del Toro), leads his team of humanitarians - including hard-bitten, wisecracking veteran B (Tim Robbins) and new recruit Sophie (Melanie Thierry) - as they deal with a most unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of Mambrú’s old flame (Olga Kurylenko). Through it all, the group handles the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humor.

| Pet Semetary
|
(1989 Mary Lambert)
svensk titel: Jurtjyrkogården
A doctor dabbles in magical resurrection with horrific consequences in this supernatural thriller adapted from the novel by Stephen King.
When Dr. Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) and his family move from Chicago to an old farmhouse in rural Maine, their only concern is the busy highway that flanks their new home. Louis' family soon meet kindly old duffer Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne), who introduces them all to the local attractions, including a pet cemetary built on the remains of a Native American burial ground. When Rachel and the kids head off to visit Louis' in-laws, Ellie's cat gets flattened by a truck. Jud counsels Louis to bury it in the old Indian portion of the cemetary; the next day, it returns from the dead, carrying with it the stink of the earth and a decidedly bad attitude. Shortly thereafter, Louis is tempted to use the cemetary's magical powers again when his son suffers a tragic accident. A snarling kitty, it turns out, is nothing compared to the horror of a little boy with no soul and a taste for scalpels.

| Phantom of the Opera
|
(2004 Joel Schumacher)
Those who thought that smoke machines and cobwebbed candelabras were the stuff of Halloween parties and dance clubs need to think again. In Joel Schumacher's film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, these moody set devices--and countless others--make every scene an atmospheric vision of souped-up 19th-century Gothic bliss.
Christine (Emmy Rossum) is a tortured young star who is haunted by the voice of the phantom (Gerard Butler), a musician who hides in the shadows to hide a facial disfigurement, yet sings to her obsessively. Dwelling in the dark, damp chambers beneath the Paris opera house, the phantom lords over the cast and management with artistic autocracy--he writes the shows, casts them, and threatens all who disobey his plans with dramatically violent outbursts. But when his young student Christine falls for the rich and dapper Raoul (Patrick Wilson), the phantom descends into madness.

In remaking this classic sci-fi horror film, director Tim Burton takes on a whopping challenge and succeeds.

I en hopplöst bonnig småstad någonstans i Sverige bor Maja, 18 år. Hennes högsta och enda dröm är att bli skådespelare. Hon vill stå i centrum, att alla ska se henne, den vackra människa hon är inuti. Det är bara lite svårt att se. Maja är kraftigt överviktig, klumpig och socialt missanpassad.
Erika Sohlman är 28 år och dokumentärfilmare från Stockholm. När hon träffar på Maja ser hon ett utmärkt tillfälle att skapa tragikomisk underhållning på Majas bekostnad. Lycklig över att äntligen få den uppmärksamhet hon förtjänar, tar Maja tacksamt emot chansen att bli filmad.
Vi får följa Maja och hennes kamp att förverkliga sina drömmar under sista terminen på gymnasiet, delvis filmat genom Erikas dokumentärkamera.

(2005 John Hillcoat)
Australian director John Hillcoat first teamed up with singer Nick Cave on 1988's disturbing GHOSTS... OF THE CIVIL DEAD, for which Cave co-authored the screenplay and took a memorably brief acting role.
The two reconvene for 2006's THE PROPOSITION, with Cave penning the screenplay and providing a soundtrack written with Dirty Three member Warren Ellis. Cave's 19th-century tale begins with the proposition of the title, as Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) captures fugitive brothers Charley (Guy Pearce) and Mikey Burns (Richard Wilson) at a scene of bloody rape and murder. Informing Charley that he must kill his older brother, Arthur (Danny Huston), in order to be set free, Stanley drags Mikey to a decrepit jailhouse while he waits for Charley to carry out the deed.
