A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Triage" (2009)
Directed by Danis Tanovic
Released by National Entertainment Media
Although a largely tepid reception at last year's Toronto Film Festival and a downer of a subject matter prevented "No Man's Land" director Danis Tanovic's English-language debut from getting American theatrical distribution, Colin Farrell delivers an award-worthy performance as a photojournalist recovering from the ravages of war and the loss of his friend and colleague in this direct-to-dvd drama. Even with Paz Vega to come home to, Farrell's photographer tries to make sense of the horrors he witnessed as his wife (Vega) and the wife of his dead friend (Kelly Reilly) try to get him to open up.
"Children of Invention" (2009)
Directed by Tze Chun
Released by Indieblitz Releasing
An alum of Sundance 2009, Chun's feature debut centers around a Chinese immgrant single mother's determination to give her children a better life...

Yes, we're excited to see "Iron Man 2," "Inception" and God help us, "Predators." But what we're really looking forward to spending a few hours in the company of an undertaking Bill Murray ("Get Low"), an Italian-speaking Tilda Swinton ("I Am Love") and a toga-wearing Rachel Weisz ("Agora") in the comfort of air-conditioned theater over the next three months. (Either that or we'll be enjoying them from the comfort of home online, on demand or on DVD.)

Annette Bening (left) in Rodrigo Garcia’s Mother and Child (top); Brigitte Helm in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (bottom) Starring Academy Award nominees Annette Bening and Naomi Watts, the psychological family drama Mother and Child opened on Mother’s Day weekend to $44.4K in four theaters as per estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The film’s $11,100 per theater average isn’t bad, but it’s not all that fantastic for a movie playing at only four locations. For comparison’s sake, when Roman Polanski’s thriller The Ghost Writer opened in four theaters in February, its per-theater average was $45,752. Also debuting this weekend was Brooks Branch’s relationship drama Multiple Sarcasms, which grossed a weak $17.8K at 15 sites. Average per screen: a [...]...

Another candy-apple red ride to the Mid-Life Crisis Invitational, Multiple Sarcasms is the antsy family man of indie films: Taking its capable, under-seen cast for granted, it blows the central character's problems all out of proportion. Written and directed by first-timer Brooks Branch, the film presents the smoothly running life of architect Gabriel Richmond (Timothy Hutton) circa 1979, just as it begins to stall. "What if there's no reason to feel sh*tty, but you do anyway?" he asks, setting up what seems like either a pointedly unpromising premise or an Abilify commercial. Back in the last days of disco, apparently, instead of consulting pharmacologists bored men became playwrights, in this case to underwhelming cinematic effect.

Whenever an indie film arrives with a cast full of well-known names and no advance buzz, that’s a red flag. When the movie arrives with a title as awful as Multiple Sarcasms, that’s more like a red bed-sheet—king-sized and flapping on the clothesline. Writer-director Brooks Branch’s debut film is set in 1979, and it stars Timothy Hutton as a successful architect who suffers a midlife crisis and subsequently alienates his wife, daughter, and extended family by writing a play about the complexity of modern relationships. In the play, he tries to articulate the conflicted feelings he ...

Stocked with veteran actors we don’t see enough of on the big screen anymore, “Multiple Sarcasms” is a showcase for writing and performance. The conflict doesn’t arise from plot but from malaise, and the action takes place in dialogue. Such a character-centric approach depends on the audience’s sympathizing with the protagonist, and at first we do.
Set in and inspired by 1970s New York, director/co-writer Brooks Branch’s film centers on Gabriel (Timothy Hutton), a successful architect who loves his beautiful wife Annie (Dana Delaney), adores his brilliant preteen daughter Elizabeth (India Ennenga) and hangs out with cool Cari (Mira Sorvino), his Bff since childhood. Gabriel has no reason to be unhappy, yet he is, hiding out in the movie house during the workday and dodging his wife’s posh events. So he decides to write a play about it, despite having no background in literature or the theater,...

Gabriel Richmond (Hutton) is a talented architect with a seemingly rich life as he has a caring wife, loving daughter and life long friends. Yet, he spends most days in the movie theater, hiding out from work, escaping into a fictional world where he can more readily relate to the made up characters.

EW.com has a sneak peek at Stockard Channing and Dana Delany in Multiple Sarcasms, an indie drama set in 1970s New York (see trailer here). They play the agent (Channing) and wife (Delany) of an unconventional writer (Timothy Hutton) whose new play is about the women in his life (who also include daughter played by India Ennenga and best friend played by Mira Sorvino). Brooks Branch’s indie film opens March 26. Two quick thoughts: Timothy Hutton back in 1979- I can pretend it’s Ordinary People all over again! And judging from this photo, does Stockard Channing never age?...

Mother and Child

Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Summary: A tale of a mother and daughter, separated at birth, who struggle with the damage done by the most important person missing in their lives while a young African-Americn woman deals with an unwanted pregnancy and the adoption process.
Analysis: Scoring rave reviews in Toronto, the $7 million latest effort of Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her") once again shows off his skill at weaving multiple narratives together in clever and unexpected ways. At its heart it's an emotional family drama, but Garcia excels with his female characters which makes the involvement of Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington and especially Annette Benning thrilling.

Today we have a new poster from the upcoming “Multiple Sarcasms” comedy drama.
“Multiple Sarcasms” synopsis: It’s New York, 1979. Gabriel Richmond is a talented architect with a seemingly rich life as he has a caring wife, loving daughter and life long friends. Yet, he spends most days in the movie theater, hiding out from work, escaping into a fictional world where he can more readily relate to the made up characters. When fiction shines a mirror on his own life, an inspired Gabriel begins writing a play not-so-loosely based on his reality, examining all of the relationships that make his life what it is.
At first a hobby, the play begins to consume Gabriel’s own self-examination. Slowly he realizes the fragility of his relationships and overall decisions in life, but does not know what to do with this information other than write about it. Gabriel’s work eventually...
