“I’m Still Here” (NR)

In Casey Affleck’s directorial debut comes a questionably strange documentary about Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. The film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP. Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing victim, you may not be able to trust the film’s supposed reliability, but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck and Phoenix take you on.

“Eat Pray Love” (PG-13)

Based on the memoir of the same name by Elizabeth Gilbert, “Eat Pray Love” tells the story of Gilbert’s physical and spiritual journey of self-discovery. Reeling from a difficult divorce, Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts) is lost in a life that she didn’t plan on. Her travels around the world take her to the nourishment of Italy’s food, prayer in India, and love in Bali. The film costars Billy Crudup, James Franco, and Javier Bardem.

“The Tudors: The Complete Series” (NR)
