Dramatic thriller based on real events, adapted from the book by Armistead Maupin. Robin Williams stars as Gabriel Noone, a radio talk show host who has developed a loyal following for his deeply personal on-air monologues, many of which are related to his relationship with his HIV-positive partner Jess (Bobby Cannavale). However, when Jess starts to recover, he rocks Gabriel's world by announcing that he is leaving him. In the midst of his crumbling personal life, Gabriel becomes embroiled in the life and story of an HIV-positive 14-year-old boy, Pete (Rory Culkin) who phones into his show. But when questions about the boy's identity come up, Gabriel's life descends further into chaos.
Coming-of-age comedy starring Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell. 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) is forced to spend a summer at his mother (Toni Collette)'s new boyfriend Trent (Carell)'s beach house in upstate New York. Arrogant and a bully, Trent likes to belittle Duncan at any opportunity, leading the boy to take off on his bike to explore his new environment. It is then he comes across the Water Wizz water park and before long a friendship develops between Duncan and the park manager, Owen (Rockwell). Seeing the water park as the much needed escape he has been looking for, Duncan keeps his whereabouts a secret from the others and thanks to Owen's positive outlook and encouraging attitude begins to grow in confidence.
Anthony Hopkins plays the legendary director in this biopic that chronicles the personal and professional relationship between Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) during the making of his 1960 classic 'Psycho'. It's 1959 and, increasingly worried about his relevance, Hitchcock decides a change of direction is what is needed. He settles on adapting Robert Bloch's true crime novel 'Psycho', despite the protestations of both Alma and Paramount President Barney Balaban (Richard Portnow). Having to mortgage their house to pay for the film, Alma's initial opposition soon gives way to support, as she dutifully throws herself fully behind the project. But as her husband begins to indulge himself in his trademark flights of fancy with a variety of blonde stars, Alma, whilst trying to keep the marriage on the rails, is determined that her own needs take centre stage.
