BIG NEW RELEASES!

Asura: The City of Madness - In this South Korean action/thriller a tough cop finds himself doing favors for a corrupt local mayor. When a prosecutor arrives to clean up the city, both figures find themselves in a lot of trouble, presumably resulting in double-crosses and violence. Notices were decent overall for the flick.

If you’ve seen the posters and print ads for the new animated family film Leap!, there’s something you should know. The advertising, which depicts its lead characters flying through the sky over Paris, suggests a slightly different film from the one you’ll be witnessing.
