  The Grand Budapest Hotel The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H. a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars; and Zero Moustafa the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles trains sleds and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair — all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. The Sessions Academy Award® Winner Helen Hunt joins John Hawkes and William H. Macy in this triumphant true story about love sex desire... and making every breath count. Paralysed and confined to an iron lung since childhood poet-journalist Mark O’Brien (Hawkes) has overcome adversity time and time again. But now at age 38 he faces his toughest challenge yet: losing his virginity. With the help of a beautiful therapist (Hunt) a sympathetic priest (Macy) and his own unbridled sense of optimism and humour Mark embarks on an extraordinary personal journey to discover the wondrous pleasures that make life worth living. Hitchcock Oscar® Winners Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are spellbinding in this provocative story about the making of one of cinema’s most iconic films. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt Hollywood legend Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won’t back. Determined he risks his reputation his home and even the love of his wife Alma (Mirren) as he sets out to make the film. Ultimately Hitch wins Alma over and the two collaborate to create an enduring masterpiece – Psycho. Also starring Scarlett Johansson Toni Collette and Jessica Biel Hitchcock is “a knockout from start to finish” (Rex Reed The New York Observer).

  At 14 Toronto school friends Steve Lips Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band Anvil went on to become the demigods of Canadian metal releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history 1982's Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation including Metallica Slayer and Anthrax that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity. Director Sacha Gervasi has concocted a wonderful and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. His ingenious filmmaking may first lead you to think this a mockumentary but it isn't. Gervasi joined the legendary heavy-metal band as a roadie for a tour of Canadian hockey arenas so he has intimate insight into the members' eccentricities. It's fascinating to see the reality of their day-to-day lives as they struggle to make ends meet take a misguided European tour and engage in antics on the road - which is not always lined with fans. Gervasi even finds a softer center to this raucous film introducing us to band members' ever-supportive but long-suffering families. At its core Anvil! The True Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream year after year. Anvil rocks - it has no other choice.

  Nearly three decades on, is Anvil! The Story Of Anvil finally the film that finally gives This Is Spinal Tap a run for its money? Quite possibly so. The recipient of far-reaching acclaim, and with a real run for being named film of the year, this is a superb documentary, that is all the more staggering for being true. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil follows the band of its title, a heavy metal group who enjoyed moderate success in the late 70s and early 80s, but kept going even when the light of fame and success shone elsewhere. Thus, we meet the band’s members--Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow and Robb Reiner--as they hold down day jobs, record an album and head off on a European tour that could have been taken straight out of the Spinal Tap playbook. As Anvil! The Story Of Anvil develops, though, there’s a drama at the heart of it that mixes in with the many frequent laughs. And, as it turns out, it’s a film that out of nowhere manages to move you, pretty much the last thing you expect of it. This is, and there’s no two ways about it, a quite brilliant film, and one of the very best documentaries in some time. It’s outrageously entertaining, very funny and yet human to the core. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil is going to take some beating, and don’t be surprised if it’s another three decades before anything else comes close to it and This Is Spinal Tap… --Jon Foster
