Cyrus (2010)
Jay and Mark Duplass direct this comedy about a divorced man, John (John C Reilly) who meets a beautiful woman, Molly (Marissa Tomei) and her son Cyrus (Jonah Hill). Molly and Cyrus have an unconventional relationship and are extremely close to each other to the point where Cyrus doesn’t want anyone else in his mother’s life. Naturally, comedy ensues with John and Cyrus both battling for the affection of Molly. If you see this one, keep in mind that the directors used an improvisational technique and rarely relied on the script so what you are watching is most likely improvised by the actors themselves.
The Killer Inside Me (2010)
Casey Affleck stars in this western neo-noir about a psychopathic serial killer who has run out of alibis to explain the dead bodies that are piling up around him. But in this film, nothing is as it seems, and everyone, including those pursuing the serial killer have secrets to hide.
