From militant forest-dwelling Jews to repressed 50s-era married couples, monsters and grad students gone wild to killer snakes and civil rights, it's looking like a magnificent New Movie Tuesday...
DEFIANCE
Daniel Craig sheds his 007 persona to help a crowd of Jews resist the Nazis in a tasteful woodland setting

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD
Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet hate each other and the boundaries placed on them by social conventions. Also, they're from the 1950s. Acclaimed adaptation of the Richard Yates novel.
