|
*ANDY WARHOL: A DOCUMENTARY FILM (dir: Ric Burns, Not Rated) – If this fantastic overview of America’s most important contemporary artist seems exhaustively researched and meticulously rendered, it may be because it’s the work of Ken Burns bro Ric. |
|
ANOTHER GAY MOVIE (dir: Todd Stephens, Not Rated) – In this “refreshingly crass” spoof of teen movies, four gay teenagers vow to lose their virginity before the summer ends. If you thought violating an AMERICAN PIE was funny, wait until you see what these lusty young studs do to a quiche. | |||
|
|
GET RICH QUICK (dir: Samuel Gennochio, Not Rated) – An unlucky surfer becomes the unwitting pawn in a corrupt cop’s twisted game in this fast-paced Australian crime caper. |
|
H6: DIARY OF A SERIAL KILLER (dir: Martin Garrido Baron, Not Rated) – If you love the frothy Spanish antics of Pedro Almodovar, you’ll absolutely despise this sick Spanish torture flick. | |||
|
|
ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN (dir: Carlos Saldanha, PG) – Hey, Al Gore. If there weren’t global warming we wouldn’t have this delightful children’s film, would we? Why do you hate the children, Mr. Gore? |
|
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH (dir: Davis Guggenheim, PG) – Whatever. It’s only a planet. | |||
|
|
LITTLE ATHENS (dir: Tom Zuber, R) – Don’t ever throw a huge party with money you stole from a drug dealer. This is why. |
|
NOBELITY (dir: Turk Pipkin, Not Rated) – Spanning the globe, this documentary checks in with a slew of Nobel laureates and, you know, all the do-gooder shtick they’re up to. I’m sure they’re nice folks and all, but you kinda gotta wonder about an organization that nominates George W. Bush and Tony Blair for peace prizes. | |||
|
|
SAINT OF 9/11 (dir: Glenn Holsten, Not Rated) – Sir Ian McKellen narrates this documentary about Father Mychal Judge, the NYFD chaplain who died at the World Trade Center. Friends like Bill and Hillary Clinton weigh in on the inspiring life of a heroic and flawed man. |
|
SCOOP (dir: Woody Allen, PG-13) – Woody Allen enjoyed the experience of working with Scarlett Johansson on MATCH POINT so much he wrote this movie just for her. His new muse plays a journalism student getting wrapped up in a murder mystery, once again in London. | |||
|
|
VACATIONLAND (dir: Todd Verow, Not Rated) – Director Todd Verow recounts growing up gay in Bangor in this loosely autobiographical indie shot entirely in Maine. |
|
^WAH-WAH (dir: Richard E. Grant, R) – Actor Richard E. Grant from WITHNAIL & I takes a turn behind the camera with this dramedy set in Africa in the turbulent 1960s. This is a companion piece of sorts to BUSTIN’ BONAPARTE, the kids’ film he starred in last year loosely based on his childhood in Botswana. But this is the teenage years, so there’s sex. | |||
|
|
WASSUP ROCKERS (dir: Larry Clark, R) – The filmmaker most committed to documenting the lives of young people, Larry Clark, returns with this intimate look at Latino skate punks in Southern California. Hopefully there isn’t a repeat of KEN PARK’s muffication scene. |
|
YOU, ME AND DUPREE (dir: Anthony Russo / Joe Russo, PG-13) – Owen Wilson, we love you. But this is what’s called coasting. | |||
