Pineapple Express
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is the new strain of weed purchased by lazy stoner Dale Stenton (Seth Rogen). When he tosses the roach out after witnessing a killing by a dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole) and a crooked cop (Rosie Perez), it is traced back to Dale and his dealer Saul Silver (James Franco). The rest of the film has the two, striking up an unlikely friendship, on the run.

Une Vieille Maitresse
Catherine Breillat has never failed to shock less impress audiences with her strong points of view in her past films. Her films offer her female slant on sex and she has not been afraid of display of graphic sex on the screen. From early works like 36 FILETTE, ROMANCE to my favourite A MA SOUER! (FAT GIRL), this director compromises nothing.
