Is that all there is? ...

With trepidation, we give Paul Thomas Anderson and Joaquin Phoenix (last collaborating in the disappointing "The Master") another chance, with Thomas Pynchon's L.A. noir story "Inherent Vice."

Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan returns with his latest Anatolian epic, "Winter Sleep."

Chris Rock's shot at the next tier, what we hope is a smart and funny film, "Top Five."

The debut of writer/director Talya Lavie about women marking time in an Israeli military outpost, "Zero Motivation."

It looks stupid, but the cast is strong (J.K. Simmons, Nikki Reed, Greg Kinnear), in a story about a man investigating the death of his pet, the noir spoof "Murder of a Cat."

A devastating look at our corporate overlords and income inequality, the documentary "Poverty, Inc."

Our gal Melanie Lynskey is a wife who dumps her husband (Paul Schneider) in "Goodbye to All That."

The one-two punch of Emmanuelle Devos and Mathieu Amalric in a stalled marriage, "If You Don't, I Will."
