Troll Hunter (2010) (15) 1h 43m IMDb

Directed by: Andre Ovredal

Director: Bertrand Tavernier
Stars: Tommy Lee Jones, John Goodman, Mary Steenbergen, Kelly Macdonald, Peter Sarsgaard

Director: Joann Sfar
Stars: Eric Elmosnino, Lucy Gordon, Laetitia Casta, Doug Jones, Anna Mouglalis

Arrietty (2010) (U) 1h 34m IMDb
For nearly 30 years, Japan's Studio Ghibli has consistently produced some of the best animated films in the world, acclaimed for their intelligent storytelling, attention to detail and humour. This, the most recent, is a typically gorgeous adaptation of children's classic 'The Borrowers' - though, like all of the studio's output, it truly is a film for all ages. In Japanese with subtitles.

Stars: (Voices of) Mirai Shida, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Shinobu Otake
The Skin I Live In (2011) (15) 1h 57m IMDb

Director: Pedro Almodovar
Stars:Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Maria Paredes, Jan Cornet, Jose Luis Gomez
