New Movie Tuesday

In addition to posting the new music, I'd like to also feature new and noteworthy films in our collection. Rather than just a listing, I'll pick a few special foreign, indie and documentary films that may be of interest.




An actress, screenwriter, and bestselling author, Carrie Fisher is the daughter of the late singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She became a cultural icon at age 19 after starring as Princess Lela in the first Star Wars trilogy.
Combining wry wit and raw facts, Wishful Drinking, Fisher's hit stage production of the intoxicating autobiographical tale of her life, reveals her own hilarious slant on the not-so-glittering side of being a celebrity.






In this highly acclaimed French suspense thriller, a 2010 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, a mother's dying wish creates a painful puzzle her children are forced to solve. Twins Jeanne and Simon travel to the Middle East to piece together the story of the woman who brought them into the world, only to make a shocking discovery.





After a much-publicized departure from hosting NBC's Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien hit the road with a 32-city music and comedy show. The "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" was O'Brien's answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on TV, radio and the internet for 6 months following his last show. "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most inprovisational time of his career."


Other new adds:
Rescue Me Season 6
Hesher
Thor
Son of Morning
Bill Cunningham New York
Meek's Cutoff

New DVD's are in the "New" section and are available exclusively to Manhasset patrons.
