Premiere Dates (movies)

note: To be updated as I get around to it
more notes: All subject to change. the parentheses next to the titles show what kind of opening it is so if it says NY/LA or "limited" who knows what it'll come everywhere else. also: these are only the movies I think are of note, there are other stupider-looking movies which could turn out to be fabulous)

Liev Schrieber directs. Elijah Wood plays an American Jew searching for the Ukrainian woman who rescued his grandfather from the Holocaust

Just Like Heaven (Nationwide)

Lord of War (Nationwide)
