Magnolia Pictures has acquired the Spanish indie film Tasting Menu for U.S. distribution. The film focuses on a couple who book a table for the last meal to be served at the best restaurant in the world, a year in advance, but have broken up long before the event – then decide that they can’t miss this once on a lifetime experience.
Tasting Menu has an international ensemble cast that includes Spanish stars Jan Cornet and Claudia Bassols (as the couple), Irish actors Stephen Rea and Fionnula Flanagan and Japan’s Toto Igawa and is directed by Roger Gual. Check out the trailer following the jump.

Director Conor McPherson has brought the fear and supernatural realm into his latest film, The Eclipse. This movie brings the type of horror film that I personally would like to see more of in today’s movies.

If there was ever a haunting Irish tale to be told on screen, then my lads and lasses, I would not dare disappoint you with this review.
