Romantic comedies, horror on the bayou, and gangster rap fill out the week's movie slate.

Feel the Noise
Gangster rap forms the backdrop for this tale of a young, aspiring musician who flees to Puerto Rico after running afoul of some thugs. Once there, he reconnects with his father, who he barely knows. Stars the always solid character actor Giancarlo Esposito.

Hatchet
Touted as "a return to old school horror," Hatchet invents the legend of Victor Crowley, a deformed boy from the swamps of New Orleans who is accidentally killed by his own father in a horrific axe mishap. When a group of tourists start getting picked off one by one, they begin to suspect that Victor may, in fact, be more than just an urban legend.

In the Shadow of the Moon
This documentary, produced by Apollo 13 director Ron Howard, takes a look at all of NASA's Apollo missions and features interviews with the participants (like famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin) and never-before-seen archival footage.

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin wrote, directed, and stars in this romantic comedy about an overweight and self-conscious man looking for love. Features a parade of comedy faces, from Sarah Silverman to The Simpsons's Dan Castellaneta to author and actress Amy Sedaris.

The Good Night
A music-tinged romantic comedy featuring The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy star Martin Freeman as a depressed musician who becomes unhealthily attached to a literal "dream girl." Directed by Gwyneth's brother Jake Paltrow, the movie costars Penelope Cruz, Danny DeVito, and, well, Gwennie, of course.

The Bubble
A look at the Israel-Palestine conflict from the perspective of the “bubble” city of Tel Aviv (so called because of the notion that the city is somehow isolated from the rest of the region’s violence and constant upheaval) and the interlocking lives of its young residents.
