Product Description: Based on Patrick DeWitt’s acclaimed novel, The Sisters Brothers is set during the 1850’s gold rush and follows two brothers earning a living as hired guns as they hunt down a chemist who has stolen a valuable formula from their employer. Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix) is a violent drunkard with a penchant for the hard life he and his brother have grown into, while Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly) is torn between the desire for a simpler, more peaceful life and the guilt-ridden responsility to stick by his brother’s side, despite the trouble it brings. While the two brothers pursue the chemist (Riz Ahmed) and his unlikely companion John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal) across the Oregon Territory, director Jacques Audiard takes viewers on a cathartic exploration of what it means to be a man in a world contrasted by violence and opportunity. The Sisters Brothers premiered at the Venice Film Festival and earned Jacques Audiard the coveted Silver Lion Award given to the best director of the festival.

In Theaters: THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS, FAHRENHEIT 11/9, LIFE ITSELF and More

The fantasy family film "The House With a Clock in Its Walls" opened in theaters today to provide some kid-friendly scares before the hardcore horror films kick in before Halloween. Belive it or not, the film is directed by Eli Roth, who is better known for incredibly gory flicks like "Hostel", "Cabin Fever" and "The Green Inferno". This is his first PG-rated movie, and probably his best reviewed film in a long while. "Clock in Walls" is also expected to dominate the box-office this weekend, but projections also seem to indicate that it's going to be a slow weekend.

While everyone is watching the kid-friendly flick, Michael Moore is back with a new documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9", a sequel of sorts to his 2004 Palme d'Or winning "Fahrenheit 9/11". That one roasted Bush Jr., the new one takes aim at Donald J. Trump. Maybe not as novel as the original documentary, but still filled with righteous indignation.

Another new wide release is the melodrama "Life Itself", which brings together a powerful cast that includes Olivia Wilde, Oscar Isaac, Mandy Patinkin, Olivia Cooke and Annette Bening to jerk those tears right out of your head. Critics didn't like it much, though, but what do they know ?

In limited release we have some interesting new releases like Jacques Audiard's darkly funny western "The Sisters Brothers" starring Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly, the ultra-violent satire "Assassination Nation", and the biopic "Colette", which stars Keira Knightley as French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948.
