	Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) 94 min   -   Animation | Adventure | Comedy | Family Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world. Directors: Steve Martino | Mike Thurmeier Stars: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Aziz Ansari

The Buzz: Now that the Ice Age franchise is an incredible global success (did you know the last installment made close to a billion dollars worldwide?) and director/nurturer Carlos Saldanha has moved to Rio, it's time for new faces behind and in front of the camera; among the new arrivals are an Oscar nominee, an "American Idol" judge, and a Canadian rapper. And Aziz Ansari, whose character will probably be annoying. 

	Easy Money (2010) - [limited] 124 min   -   Crime | Drama | Thriller A three-tiered story centered around drugs and organized crime, and focused on a young man who becomes a runner for a coke dealer. Director: Daniel Espinosa Stars: Joel Kinnaman, Matias Varela, Dragomir Mrsic, Lisa Henni

The Buzz: Finally we get to enter the criminal underworld that launched the careers of star Joel Kinnaman and director Daniel Espinosa. And know (or remember) that Zac Efron is looking to diversify his celebrity by starring as the young drug runner in the proposed remake. European audiences will get a look at the sequel late this coming summer. 

	Red Lights (2012) - [limited] 113 min   -   Drama | Horror | Thriller Psychologist Margaret Matheson and her assistant study paranormal activity, which leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic who has resurfaced years after his toughest critic mysteriously passed away. Director: Rodrigo Cortés Stars: Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, Cillian Murphy, Elizabeth Olsen

The Buzz: If you feel as though the term "paranormal" has been tainted, the thought of the director of Buried taking a less-expected approach to the genre might be worth your interest. Reportedly more of a cat-and-mouse thriller between Sigourney Weaver a Robery De Niro, it could be older audiences who gravitate to the mysteries herein. Meanwhile, it's good to see that Elizabeth Olsen has turned the initial Sundance hype into an ever-diversifying career. 

	The Imposter (2012) - [limited] Documentary | Biography A documentary centered on a young Frenchman who convinces a grieving Texas family that he is their 16-year-old son who went missing for 3 years. Director: Bart Layton Stars: Adam O'Brian, Anna Ruben, Cathy Dresbach, Alan Teichman

The Buzz: Frédéric Bourdin's incredible real-life exploits were fictionalized in the Canadian film The Chameleon, but Bart Layton's docudrama (Bourdin consulted on the projected by is portrayed by an actor who bares an eerie resemblance) focuses on the fateful set of circumstances that took him from a French children's home to San Antonio, Texas, where he was accepted by a family as their son, Nicholas, who went missing as a boy. Without revealing much more, it can be safe that Bourdin isn't the only member of this family who is misrepresenting themselves. 

	Alps (2011) - [limited]   93 min   -   Drama A group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process. Director: Giorgos Lanthimos Stars: Stavros Psyllakis, Aris Servetalis, Johnny Vekris, Ariane Labed

The Buzz: Might we see some sentimentality from Giorgos Lanthimos in his follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Dogtooth? The subject matter, another unique narrative from the writer/director, hints at an opportunity for more humor than we've seen from Lanthimos thus far; it was present in Dogtooth, but folded into a thoroughly unnerving family psychodrama that kept me off balance throughout. 

	Trishna (2011) - [LA/NYC] 117 min   -   Drama The story of the tragic relationship between the son of a property developer and the daughter of an auto rickshaw owner. Director: Michael Winterbottom Stars: Freida Pinto, Riz Ahmed, Anurag Kashyap, Kalki Koechlin

The Buzz: Someone once said the best thing about seeing a bad Michael Winterbottom film is the fact that you don't have to wait long for him to release another effort. And to be fair, Winterbottom is usually more On than otherwise. But his interpretation of the novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles is thick through the middle and comes to an unsatisfying melodramatic end. But, hey, already in a short career, Freida Pinto has worked with some of the best established and emerging directors out there.
