A week or so ago a new trailer was released by Cinedigm for the suspense thriller Night Moves (embedded, below).
Three radical environmentalists — played by Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard — plot the explosion of a hydroelectric dam, the symbol of the energy-sucking, resource-devouring industrial culture they despise.
Directed by Kelly Reichardt from her original screenplay co-written with Jonathan Raymond, Night Moves opens in theaters May 30, 2014.

Swimming with Sharks by Nele Neuhaus
A Wall Street Thriller
Publisher: AmazonCrossing
Ambitious, brilliant, and beautiful, Alex Sondheim is the undisputed star of Wall Street — and she knows it. So it comes as no surprise when Levy Manhattan Investments taps her to take their prestigious firm to the next level. She can name her price, but can she live up to their expectations?
Because behind the glittering facade of luxury offices, five-star dinners, and million-dollar investments hides the firm's true power player: a deadly criminal cartel. Caught up in a steamy relationship with handsome real-estate mogul Sergio Vitali, Alex is blind to the danger — until an assassination attempt against the city's crusading mayor claims the lives of three innocent people. To protect the city's people and save herself, she'll have to put everything on the line: her job, her reputation … and her life.

Gone with the Win by Mary Daheim
A Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery (23rd in series)
Publisher: William Morrow
Flynn has vowed never ever to find a dead body again (at least not for a while). But despite warnings from Cousin Renie, she can't turn down a suspicious guest reservation from Mary Smith of New York City. There must be many real Mary Smiths, especially in a place as big as NYC.
Unfortunately, Judith already knows the woman who shows up at Hillside Manor. She's none other than Ruby Tooms, the world-weary barmaid the cousins met at Oktoberfest in Little Bavaria. Fearing that Judith wouldn't accept her reservation if she used her real name, Ruby arrives with some unexpected baggage — a cold case she dumps on Hillside Manor's Persian carpet. Ruby's mother was strangled after she divorced Jimmy Tooms, Ruby's father. Jimmy was in the clear, behind bars at the time for stealing Judith's wallet when Dan McMonigle's ill-fated Meat & Mingle Café went bust. Ruby wants to know if Judith can use her sleuthing skills to finger a murderer from fifteen years ago.
Judith is about to say no when her husband, Joe Flynn, tells her that the homicide case was his former partner and old pal Woody Price's first murder investigation. Now the game is afoot, and for once Joe is more than willing to help his wife turn a cold case into a hot chase in pursuit of a long-ago killer.
