"You live with a man for 40 years and you don't even know him." Greenwich Ent. has revealed the official US trailer for an Israeli indie comedy called Karaoke, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Moshe Rosenthal. This first premiered at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, and also played at the Jerusalem, Hamptons, Raindance, and Tallinn Black Nights Film Festivals last year. Now it's set for US release in select theaters this November. A bittersweet comedy about a middle-class suburban couple in their 60s who are drawn to their new neighbor, a charismatic bachelor who has karaoke evenings at his apartment. Described in reviews as a "fantastic offbeat comedy" that's "smart, funny, & beautiful." The film stars Sasson Gabay, Rita Shukrun, and Lior Ashkenazi. This looks a smart commentary on modern society in Tel Aviv, not only about gender dynamics, but also about social status and relationships and so much more.

When asked to partake in a game of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” Niall Horan probably didn’t expect the least awkward question to be about naming his least favorite One Direction bandmate.
VideosJustin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Sing Alanis Morissette, Talk Gilmore Girls
The boy band survivor was less concerned with beating James Corden during The Late Late Show‘s recurring confess-or-consume game than he was with a potential PR nightmare. Be that as it may, he just couldn’t help himself when asked whether he’d rather spend his last night on Earth with Selena Gomez or Ellie Goulding,...

Ever wonder how James Bond got on board that train as the back of it peels away in the Skyfall trailer? This clip shows the action that leads up to that moment. And Adele sings Skyfall in another clip that’s included.
We’ve seen the moment many times in the movie trailer, but the first actual clip for Skyfall that shows a whole scene unfolding reveals exactly how Bond finds himself on a train as the back of it gets ripped to shreds.
Also, Adele puts her sultry voice to excellent use for the Skyfall theme song. The video doesn’t offer any peeks at the movie; only a Karaoke-style display of the words as Adele sings them, but the song is still a great way to get in a Bond-type mood that’s fitting for Global Bond Day.

In A Better World (Sony) Winner of last year’s Best Foreign Film Oscar, this Danish export looks at two fractured families and the effect that the adult world dysfunction has on their two sons, who form an immediate and potentially deadly bond. Director Susanne Bier delivers another powerful work that maintains its drive during the films’ first 2/3, then falters somewhat during the last act. Still, well-worth seeing, and beautifully made. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Deleted scenes; Commentary by Bier and editor Pernille Bech Christensen; Interview with Bier. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
X-men First Class (20th Century Fox) “Origins” film set in the early 1960s, traces the beginnings of Magento and Professor X (played ably here by Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy), and how the once-close friends and colleagues became bitter enemies. First half is slam-bang entertainment at its stylish best,...

Winter's Bone (15)
(Debra Granik, 2010, Us) Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan. 100 mins
What No Country For Old Men did for west Texas, this striking landscape thriller does for Missouri's Ozark mountains. This is no country for poor women: an insular rural community clouded by drugs and patriarchy where they do things their way. So when Ree learns her father's skipped bail, and the family home was his security, she must ask difficult questions in dangerous places – chiefly among her extended outlaw family. Tough suspense, documentary-like observation and character drama are perfectly balanced.
I'm Still Here (15)
(Casey Affleck, 2010, Us) Joaquin Phoenix, Sean Combs, Anthony Langdon. 107 mins
What was Joaquin thinking? This film won't clear that up, but it at least shows you what he was doing: taking drugs, falling out with friends and the movie biz, rapping badly and descending into mumbling incoherence – apparently.
The Other Guys (12A)
(Adam McKay, 2010, Us) Will Ferrell,...
