When you're used to spending your day inventing the most cutting edge spy equipment known to man, adapting the stealth and guile needed to become a true secret agent doesn't come naturally.

The Dark Knight 2008

The caped crusader gets a stunning dose of hardcore dramatics in The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan’s ambitious follow-up to Batman Begins. Hailed as the first real big screen adult take on a popular comic mythos, the film goes to great lengths to show that costumed characters can indeed exist in genres outside of their comfort zone – which in this case, spells gritty crime drama. Nolan’s Gotham City might be beautiful, but it’s decaying from the inside out – as are most of the people in control of it. So at what point do the efforts of a costumed vigilante cease to have an impact on the society he vows to protect – and when does his mere presence present a detriment to them when it’s all said and done? It’s these kind of hefty issues that embody what could accurately be touted as a reinvention of the entire superhero film altogether. Thick with rich dramatics, daring performances and a few knockout scenes of action gusto, The Dark Knight strives to not only one-up its precursor, but also lay down a measuring stick of quality for the rest of Hollywood to live up to.

Mad Detective

Cinematic action masters Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai return with the explosive MAD DETECTIVE, an incendiary adventure full of delightfully off-kilter events and a fascinating journey into the human psyche. When a missing detective’s gun is implicated in a recent series of heists and murders, a hot shot inspector HO (Andy On) seeks out his former boss, BUN (Lau Ching Wan), a gifted criminal profiler now living in seclusion with his wife MAY (Kelly Lin). Bun has a truly unique gift: he can see the inner personalities of the people he meets. As Bun travels further into the psychosis of a prime suspect his unorthodox approach begins to wear on Hos mind. What begins as a quest for answers has now taken a schizophrenic turn where truth and lies, reality and delusions intertwine…

The Ruins

Based on the novel by A Simple Plan author Scott Smith, director Carter B. Smith's Yucatan-set thriller follows four American tourists as they unwisely venture off the beaten path while vacationing in Cancun. When a friendly German tourist implores the Americans to help search the jungle for his missing brother, the group becomes hopelessly trapped in a nightmare scenario that seems too strange to be true. Jonathan Tucker, Laura Ramsey, Jena Malone, and Shawn Ashmore star.

SUPER HIGH ME

The documentary Super High Me follows comedian Doug Benson as he spends one month indulging in neither marijuana nor alcohol. Then the camera stayed with him for a second month while he smoked and drank all day every day. Along the way, viewers get a look at the history of medical marijuana in California, and a taste of how the political battles surrounding the issue continue. To mark the film’s DVD release, director Michael Blieden sat down with AllMovie’s Perry Seibert to answer questions about the film, and to discuss some of his more obscure gigs, his plans for the future, and the advantages of being part of the L.A. comedy scene.

Teeth: The AMG Review

Fans of Michael Lehmann’s 1989 cult classic Heathers should do themselves a favor and seek out this slick little indie from first-time feature filmmaker Michael Lichtenstein, as this gruesomely charming tale of vagina dentata shares a similar satirical tone with that darkly comic tale of teen alienation. Of course, there are some fairly obvious key differences separating the two films, yet their approach to skewering teen trends and suburban morality bounds them as cinematic siblings who share an uncannily similar comic sensibility.

Hey there, First Showing has the latest trailer online ... After you're done looking at some from-the-set photos; read what we do know: (1) The story here is not structured to be a direct sequel to the now-ten-years-old original – it will be a standalone story, and we hear it could be an experiment to see if a one-off model could be used for additional "sequels"; (2) the ever-patient and always-mysterious Chris Carter created hype and deflected rumors for what seems like the better part of the current decade in order to bring all the essential X elements together, mainly the suddenly busy Scully and the I-hate-Vancouver Mulder; (3) the shooting script has been tinkered on for years under the watchful eyes of development executives at Fox; (4) we nominate X Files News as the most bookmarkable fansite for all the daily details tied to the production that will kick start all of your best conspiracy theories ...
