all the summer blockbuster / family movies are shit, so i won't even go there.
the offbeat movie 10mph totally appeals to me - although not for the originality and drama everyone is talking about - but because it's the real life story of harry & lloyd! did NO ONE else notice the correlation?
denzel's next movie, american gangster looks great - although - does ridley scott have to put russell crowe in every movie? crowe can do a brooklyn accent (cinderella man) but he can't pull off a generic american accent. enough crowe already.
you're gonna miss me is another example of why it's so great that documentaries are finally getting production dollars & a little commercial success (last year's american hardcore was another hidden jem).
finally parker posey is starring in a drama again - yay!
everyone's talking about judd apatow / seth rogan's genius in knocked up but i think their next movie superbad (super bad title) looks more on par with something about mary. the mclovin scene is already a classic!
then there's the upcoming anime film Paprika whose director Satoshi Kon was described at the New York Film Festival as follows, “His new movie plays like a head-on collision between Hello Kitty and Philip K. Dick…This delightful movie is bursting with ideas about Japanese repression, multiple identities, collective dreams and the dark side of the country’s love of Cute.”
awesome! It's so very Bjork sounding. and speaking of bjork-sounding, check out some of the wacky soundtrack to Paprika here.
in other news, dirty dancing: the video game is on its way... is it just me, or what took them so long? this movie only gets better & better with age.
