Controversy-courting director Michael Haneke (CACHÉ) earned the Palm d’Or at Cannes in 2009 for this arresting drama set just before World War I. In a small German village, a number of unexplained accidents beset the schoolchildren and their parents. Though they at first appear coincidental, it begins to seem that they are not, in fact, accidents at all.
Edward James Olmos directs this feature-length drama that retells the story of the Peabody-winning series–from the perspective of the Cylons. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: THE PLAN finds man’s creations plotting to destroy their makers, but their genocidal scheme leaves survivors. Now, two Cylons must try to eliminate the remnants of humanity, while Adama (Olmos) and his fleet struggle to survive. From the nuclear devastation that began the miniseries to Sharon’s (Grace Park) attempt to kill her commander, all the show’s biggest moments are seen from the enemy’s point of view. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: THE PLAN also stars Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan, Dean Stockwell, Michael Trucco, and Aaron Douglas.

Tyler Perry (DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN) does it again with this comedy based on his play of the same name. Madea (Perry) is a gun-toting grandma who gives new meaning to tough love. She is preparing to host a long-awaited family reunion, during which she also plans to marry off her 16-year-old granddaughter. When Madea hears that her sister has just died, she overcomes her initial dismay–her sister still owes her 20 bucks–to add a funeral to the weekend’s itinerary, in a truly impressive show of frugality and efficiency. Madness, of course, ensues, as well as valuable lessons about life, friendship, and the meaning of family.
