Among the standout's are JT Petty's The Burrowers and the much sought after The Good, The Bad, The Weird. Also playing is Pieter Van Hees Linkeroever , and I actually got my copy of the film just last week so we'll be having a review soon. There's also a couple of films we already have reviews for, Ole Bornedal's Just another Love story and Gô Shibata’s incredible experimental film about a serial killer with cerebral palsy called Late Bloomer. Check out the full lineup after the break!

The Chaser
North American Premiere / Dir. Hong-jin Na / South Korea / 2008 / 123 min
A serial killer is preying on call-girls from various escort agencies. In the midst of police indifference and incompetence, Jung-Ho (Yun-Seok Kim), an ex-cop-turned-pimp must dust off his old flatfoot skills to find the killer and save the life of one of his girls who has gone missing.

Just Another Love Story
Regional Premiere / dir Ole Bornedal / Denmark / 2007 / 100 min
JUST ANOTHER LOVE STORY is not as benign as the title might suggest. A mild mannered forensics photographer is involved in a traffic accident with a young woman. Curious, he visits her in the hospital only to be mistaken as her boyfriend. When she awakens blind and suffering from mild amnesia, he continues his charade. As you might expect, things don’t turn out so well.
