Opening in limited release today is Woody Allen’s comedy Midnight in Paris starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Marion Cottilard and Michael Sheen.

No soundtrack album has been announced yet for the movie, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last week.
Also opening in limited release is the indie crime drama Cost of a Soul. The film is directed by Sean Kirkpatrick and tells the story of two veterans who return home from Iraq to the war-zone of their own slum neighborhood.
