They didn't say where and they didn't say when, so you better go to all the showings you can!!

Otherwise, blink and you'll miss these releases:

Gomorrah, a highly praised docudrama about an Italian crime organization that everyone seems afraid to call boring;

An American Affair, or The Reader in 1963 Washington;

Two Lovers, the dreary romance that Joaquin Phoenix foolishly traded his sanity for;

Three Monkeys, a Turkish thriller with a shocking 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes approval rating; and

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, a video-game-based actioner with a shocking 0 percent Rotten Tomatoes approval rating.

Looks like another Netflix weekend.
