Francis Ford Coppola returns to writing and directing—and black and white—with the family drama Tetro, which stars Vincent Gallo and newcomer (and NYU student) Alden Ehrenreich. The Village Voice's J. Hoberman finds, "The narrative is a bit labored, but, after decades of far more ponderous efforts, Coppola has found his way home. However overwrought, Tetro is neither a project nor a package; it exudes enthusiasm and love of cinema. Coming from the 70-year-old who once bestrode Hollywood Boulevard like a colossus, Coppola's new movie offers best possible evidence of youth without youth."
This weekend, the big release is the star-loaded remake of the 1970s classic subway thriller, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. But there are other worthy films to see, if the notion of seeing a subway movie in New York City makes you think of a packed subway during rush hour. Click through the gallery to see.

Re: Indiana Jones, I agree with Stan.
Me too.
I'm showing my kids the original Pelham 123 tonight, so they'll have a benchmark. I think the original is a magnificently understated and thrilling film, and a great time capsule of 1970s NYC. We'll see the new one next weekend; here's hoping it doesn't disappoint. It looks promising, which will be nice as so many of the remakes are whores with thick makeup.
Meh, I'm not that interested in watching Freddy Mercury take over a subway car.
Would rather watch The Hangover again.
FTW
pretty excited to see Moon tonight.
They should call it the Raping of Pelham 1-2-3. What sacrilege!
Have you seen the remake yet?
I'll just pop the DVD of the real Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 in instead. The original was great, an and an improvement on the book. This unneeded remake looks worse than the late 1990s made for TV remake filmed in Toronto. Gesundheit!
