UNDER THE SKIN Jonathan Glazer's latest, following Sexy Beast and Birth, stars Scarlett Johansson as an alien who preys on unsuspecting earthmen. Zac says it's "more than just a welcome and worthy addition to the arthouse sci-fi cannon." I'm both stoked and terrified to see this.

THE UNKNOWN KNOWN Errol Morris kicks it with Donald Rumsfeld! Just in case you needed a reminder of what it felt like during the Bush Administration to wake up every morning feeling like baaaasically the world might come to an end at any second.

JODOROWSKY'S DUNE I don't like Dune and I don't like Jodorowsky's movies. Jodorowsky himself, on the other hand, is 100 percent awesome in this great, funny, and sad documentary, which chronicles his failed attempt to make an ambitious, super-weird Dune movie. This movie is going to be a hard sell to most of you people, but just go see it, TAKE A GODDAMN CHANCE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

THE RAID 2 I am super bummed to report that The Raid 2 is kind of terrible. You should probably just watch The Raid again instead. Or Dredd!

OCULUS: THE MIRROR THAT KILLS THIS IS A MOVIE ABOUT A MIRROR THAT KILLS PEOPLE. And Amy Pond is in it! I cannot imagine that there is anything else you could possibly need to know about Oculus: The Mirror That Kills.
