- The Tree of Life has been climbed!
Why would you want to see epic 3D monstrosities (Thor, Pirates of the Caribbean 8, Transformers: The one that sound like the Pink Floyd album) when there are filmmakers working on a truly epic canvas, trying to cover themes of life and death, the cosmos, and human perseverance in under-the-radar films that are seeing only limited releases (Cave of Forgotten Dreams, 13 Assassins, The Tree of Life)? Sure, they'll probably be on Video On Demand soon, but that's not how they were meant to be watched.
The Following is part one of a list of the films playing in limited release from now until August. (Look for part two next week.) Some of these films have already opened elsewhere and are currently on Video on Demand, while others are making their way to the Tampa Bay area very soon.
