The Projector: Movies opening Friday, Nov. 5new

Galifianakis (again?) as the hilarious sidekick (again?); Franco reads Ginsberg; the Coen Bros. reimagined; 20 stories of issues colored women deal with; the first 24 hours of the Lebanon War; and how the line between the good guys and the bad guys sometimes gets blurred.
