Beyond the Blockbusters: Killer Joe, Ruby Sparks, Klown Lead Limited Releases

The studios rule the screens this time of the year - well, they do year-round, but especially in the Summer. So, here is a shout-out to some of this weekend's new Specialty Releases with trailers and background should there be any inkling to stray from Hollywood's big budget-busting, celebrity-saturated splendidly marketed juggernauts. OK, some here are also offshoots of the big guys, but all the same… Among the weekend's "indie/specialty/limited release" newcomers are docs Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry and Big Boys Gone Bananas!*. Also hitting limited screens (and with the big-fat NC-17 no less) is Killer Joe; Straight from Denmark and gracing these shores is Klown; and finally Ruby Sparks.
