The Latest in Theaters: Not Just Indy

We'll have plenty of coverage of that certain movie with the excessively long title later this weekend, so in the meantime, here are a few other films in theaters this week that are also worth your attention:
  • A Jihad for Love: This acclaimed documentary from producer Sandi Simcha DuBowski (Trembling Before G-d) and writer/director Parvez Sharma tells the stories of lesbian and gay Muslims from around the world. Now playing in New York, visit the film's official website for future screenings and more information.
  • The Edge of Heaven: A lesbian couple is at the core of this Babel-like, international-set drama (which won the screenplay prize at last year's Cannes) from award-winning German director Fatih Akin.
  • The Children of Huang Shi: Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars as a reporter who leads a group of orphans on a thousand-mile journey through war torn China in this fact-based drama, co-starring Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh.
