The Beguiled
Sofia Coppola's latest film is a remake of a 1971 thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell. I think Nicole Kidman was born to play a repressed old-timey school marm who's just dying to rip her bodice off for a greasy soldier played by Colin Farrell. Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst round out Kidman's "vengeful bitches" in this Confederate South-set fucked up love triangle. The Beguiled is Coppola's return to directing after 2013's tepidly received, Bling Ring and is a tonal departure from her usual urban, broody narratives.

The Blackcoat's Daughter
Straight up I see a priest and a weathered old lady with her hair pinned up in a Catholic school and I'm instantly terrified. Throw in a slow, jangly song and some mentions of the devil and I might never sleep again. This moody indie horror thriller about nuns and devil worship starring Emma Roberts is slated for a limited release on DirectTV. Kiernan Shipka aka Sally Draper co-stars.Personal Shopper
Are we ready for K-Stew to have a renaissance? She was good on SNL (and yeah, I found her opening monologue f-bomb endearing) and she's been choosing smart, indie films post-Twilight. I'm not entirely sold on what's happening in Personal Shopper (wait so she's meeting her brother's ghost in Paris? Is he in her iPhone?) But the buzzy flick directed by Olivier Assayas had a lot of people talking at TIFF about Stewart's gritty performance. I say, let K-Stew revel in her moment.Unlocked
Man I've missed Noomi Rapace. She was brutally overlooked post-Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I like that here she's playing a take on Jason Bourne, as a CIA special ops being hunted by who knows who! John Malkovich? Michael Douglas? I mean god help her if her only way out of this is to trust Orlando Bloom who looks like he's slowly morphing into Johnny Depp's Madame Tussaud wax figure. Michael Apted directs this biological terror threat turned psychological cat and mouse thriller.The Ticket
I was all set to talk about Dan Steven's (Downton Abbey's Matthew Crawley) new indie about a blind man who regains his sight and becomes an egomaniacal narcissist obsessed with superficial success, co-starring Malin Akerman as his steadfast but ultimately wronged wife BUT THEN I saw this comment on the trailer's YouTube page and now I can't talk about anything else.
