'Enough Said,' 'Drug War' play the Ross

The romantic comedy “Enough Said,” starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini, and the crime drama “Drug War” are showing at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.

“Enough Said” is rated PG-13 and shows through Oct. 24. “Drug War” is not rated and shows through Oct. 10.

In “Enough Said,” Louis-Drefus plays Eva, a masseuse dreading her daughter’s impending departure for college. She meets Albert (Gandolfini), a funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest.

As the romance blooms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), a new massage client. As Marianne talks bad about her former husband, Eva finds herself doubting her new relationship with Albert.

“Drug War” features Louis Koo as Timmy Choi, a meth maker who is in custody of Chinese police after a lab accident.

In China, manufacturing just 50 grams of meth can result in a death sentence. Choi has manufactured tons of the drug. In the custody of Captain Zhang (played by Sun Honglei), Choi has one chance to avoid execution — turn information and help an undercover team take down a powerful drug cartel.

The uneasy allies are forced to compress months of police work into just 72 sleepless hours. As the investigation spins wildly out of control, it becomes unclear whether the cop or criminal truly has the upper hand.
