    The King  (2005)

    The King Newly discharged from the U.S. Navy, Elvis Sandow (Gael García Bernal) travels in search of the father he's never known (William Hurt), now an evangelical pastor in Texas. With a beautiful wife (Laura Harring), a seemingly innocent daughter and a son bound for Bible college, the pastor wants nothing to do with the *** son who reminds him of a wayward past. Rejected yet again by the man who abandoned him at birth, Elvis sets out to destroy his father's Edenic existence. “A compelling, intelligent and provocative sins-of-the-father story with a terrific ensemble cast, and a standout Mr. Ripley turn by the ever-versatile Gael García Bernal.” – Empire - Damon Wise Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/thinkfilm/theking/ Opens August 4 – Showtimes Forthcoming http://www.uica.org/film.html

    Under discussion:

    Down In The Valley In the outskirts of Los Angeles, rebellious teenager Tobe's (Evan Rachel Wood, Thirteen) aimless existence is turned upside down by a chance encounter with Harlan (Edward Norton), an older, charismatic cowboy who seems as if he would be more at home in Monument Valley than the San Fernando Valley. They pursue a passionate and furtive romance but it suddenly takes a dangerous turn when Tobe discovers Harlan is not all he appears to be. “It's mysterious and bold at every turn, and refreshingly removed from the commonplace.” – The Onion (A.V. Club) - Scott Tobias Website: http://www.downinthevalleyfilm.com/main.htm Opens July 21 – Showtimes Forthcoming http://www.uica.org/film.html

    Under discussion:

    The Notorious Bettie Page In telling the life of famous pin-up girl Bettie Page, director/co-writer Mary Harron (American Psycho, I Shot Andy Warhol) takes us on a provocative exploration of sexuality, religion and pop culture in the 1950s. Gretchen Mol stars as Bettie, who grew up in a conservative religious family in Tennessee and became a photo model sensation in New York. Bettie's legendary fetish poses made her the target of a Senate investigation into pornography, and transformed her into an erotic icon who continues to enthrall fans to this day. "It's a joy to see so many cheerful and contented characters on screen, especially on a screen that looks this good." – Chicago Tribune - Allison Benedikt Website: http://www.thenotoriousbettiepage.com/ Opens July 14 – Showtimes Forthcoming http://www.uica.org/film.html
