Adam Driver and Bill Murray lead an all-star cast in THE DEAD DON'T DIE, indie maven Jim Jarmusch’s (PATERSON, NIGHT ON EARTH) latest flick. Centerville is a sleepy, peaceful town in the middle of nowhere that finds itself battling a zombie horde after the dead start rising from their graves. Presiding over this quiet hamlet is police chief Cliff Robertson (Murray) and officers Ronald Peterson (Driver) and Minerva Morrison (Chloë Sevigny), who are thrown for a loop when their local diner is unexpectedly attacked. Armed with machetes and shotguns – and with the assistance of a strange, sword-wielding Scottish mortician (Tilda Swinton, naturally) – Centerville's small police force gets to work on vanquishing this reanimated pack of ghouls. With Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, RZA, Selena Gomez, Iggy Pop, Carol Kane and Tom Waits, this ferociously funny movie is a disarmingly intelligent riff on politics, parodies, and the futility of it all.

Smartly written by Mindy Kaling and snappily directed by Nisha Ganatra, this sly, sophisticated comedy about the times in which we live tackles white privilege, entitlement and a culture dangerously veering toward crassness and conservatism. Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is a pioneer and legendary host on the late-night talk-show circuit. When her humor is challenged, she puts affirmative action on the to-do list, and hires her first and only female staff writer (Kaling). Thompson brings pathos and amusingly severe charm to the pantsuit-clad Katherine and Kaling easily charms her way into the hearts of viewers everywhere. LATE NIGHT is a fresh, unexpected, biting and crisp commentary on our country.

In his debut feature, Noble Jones candidly explores modern society’s fear of aging in which John Lithgow and Blythe Danner wholeheartedly embody characters with complementary convictions about life and love. Retiree Ed (Lithgow) spends his quiet days watching the news, imparting his wisdom in internet forums and preparing for the end of the world. When he meets an endearing woman (Danner), the pair affectionately hit it off and they cautiously allow one another into their guarded lives, attempting to make room for love among their mounting collection of belongings. With undeniable chemistry between its leads, THE TOMORROW MAN beautifully illustrates a couple’s stronghold on sorrows of the past and worries of the future, both of which they must set aside to gloriously embrace today.

Actor/director Kenneth Branagh brings a lifetime of Shakespearean experience to this intimate and revelatory portrait of the Bard of Avon in the last act of his life. In 1613, Shakespeare (Branagh) was acknowledged as the greatest writer of his age, but when The Globe Theatre burns to the ground, the great poet and dramatist is forced to retire to his family home in Stratford-upon-Avon where he encounters old ghosts, unrequited loves and his resentful, long-suffering wife (Judi Dench). An exploration into the mystery of genius, ALL IS TRUE is a fascinating, deeply-felt portrait of a flawed and all-too-human giant.
