The outrageous comedy WALK OF SHAME stars Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect) as a resourceful reporter whose one-night stand with a handsome stranger (James Marsden of Anchorman 2) leaves her stranded the next morning in downtown Los Angeles without a phone, car, ID, or money - and only 8 hours before the most important job interview of her career.

I am a big fan of James Marsden and Elzabeth Banks. Looks like a cute movie.

Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

Release: Tuesday, May 6th (VOD)

Stoners, Jay and Silent Bob, hit the lottery jackpot, and use their cash windfall to become crime-fighting superheroes.

I love Kevin Smith and have been a big fan of the Jay and Silent Bob movies for years.

Palo Alto

Release: Friday, May 9th (Limited)

Director: Gia Coppola

Writers: Gia Coppola (screenplay), James Franco (short stories)

Cast: Emma Roberts, Jack Kilmer, James Franco, Nat Wolff, Zoe Levin, Chris Messina & Val Kilmer

Distributor: Tribeca Film

Shy, sensitive April (Emma Roberts) is the class virgin -a popular soccer player and frequent babysitter for her single-dad coach, Mr. B. (James Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer) is an introspective artist whose best friend and sidekick Fred (Nat Wolff) is an unpredictable live wire with few filters or boundaries. While April negotiates a dangerous affair with Mr. B., and Teddy performs community service for a DUI - secretly carrying a torch for April, who may or may not share his affection - Fred seduces Emily (Zoe Levin), a promiscuous loner who seeks validation through sexual encounters. One high school party bleeds into another as April and Teddy finally acknowledge their mutual affection, and Fred's escalating recklessness spirals into chaos.

So I hear Mr. Franco who is one of my favorites by the way. I find him interesting and intelligent wrote a book called Palo Alto Stories to which this movie is based.  Hmmmm...maybe I should check that out first.

Night Moves

Release: Friday, May 30th (Limited)

Director: Kelly Reichardt

Writer: Jonathan Raymond, Kelly Reichardt

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning, Peter Sarsgaard

Distributor: Cinedigm

Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning, and Peter Sarsgaard star as radical activists plotting to blow up Oregon's Green Peter Dam in an act of environmental sabotage. As their plan marches towards fruition, they soon discover that small steps have enormous consequences. Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy director Kelly Reichardt crafts another graceful and absorbing film about outsiders searching for a meaningful place on the edges of the system in this atmospheric suspense thriller.

I will see anything Dakota is in! Enough said.
