Lone Star International Film Festival 2011

Matt King (Clooney), an indifferent husband and father of two girls, is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki and ends up in a coma. The event forces Matt into single parenthood, bringing him closer to his troublesome daughters. As if this wasn’t enough, Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. Oscar®-winning filmmaker Alexander Payne returns with his first feature film since 2004’s instant classic Sideways, guiding Clooney to what is arguably his greatest performance. Nick Krause in attendance.

Ti West's follow-up to The House of the Devil brings the laughs and the chills in a remarkably deft haunted hotel movie. Set in the venerable Yankee Pedlar Inn, which is about to shut its doors for good after over a century of service. Believed by many to be one of New England’s “most haunted hotels,” the last remaining employees -Claire and Luke - are determined to uncover proof before it shuts down for good. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.
