Set in and around a Budapest store, Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 classic “The Shop Around The Corner” features co-workers Klara (Margaret Sullavan) and Alfred (James Stewart) harboring an intense dislike for each other while maintaining a secret letter-writing relationship, neither realizing whom each other’s pen pal is. They fall in love via their correspondence, while being antipathic and peevish towards one another in real life. A major subplot concerns the apparent infidelity of the store owner’s wife, and its spillover effect upon the various working relationships in the shop. The film was remade as “You’ve Got Mail” with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in 1998, and was ranked #28 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Passions” list.

Join Variety film critic Daniel M. Kimmel as he presents the film and talks about and signs his new book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” which goes behind-the-scenes of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedies.

This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority. A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker’s compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion.

“It’s clear from the first few minutes of Matthew Saville’s “Noise” that this highly compelling first feature has no intention of being your average, run-of-the-mill thriller…[Noise] kicks off with a wallop, then constantly confounds expectations by approaching its subject matter from fresh directions.”

Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) are the perfect American couple traveling from Beijing to Moscow on the legendary Trans-Siberian Express train. The two strike a bond with another couple, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), who are not exactly as they appear. Unwittingly, Roy and Jessie are caught in a web of drug trafficking and murderous deceit when all four become targets of ex-KGB detective Grinko’s (Ben Kingsley) investigation.

“‘Transsiberian’ starts in neutral, taking the time to introduce its characters, and then goes from second into high like greased lightning. I was a little surprised to notice how thoroughly it wound me up. This is a good one.” -Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
