NEW
MOVIES! AUGUST 4 - AUGUST 10, 2009
|
|
THE CHAOS EXPERIMENT (dir: Philippe Martinez, R) – In one of the most outlandish storylines in recent memory, Val Kilmer plays a deranged scientist who traps a group of scantily clad young people in a steam bath and gradually increases the heat to prove that everyone will go nuts due to global warming.
WTF?!? |
|
 |
DELGO (dir: Marc F. Adler / Jason Maurer, PG) – If you’re mad at your kids, rent them this cheap-o CGI featuring the voiceover work of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Val
Kilmer. They’ll hate you forever! |
|
 |
DEMON WARRIORS (dir: Thanakorn
Pongsuwan, R) – Don’t let the title fool you. This moody Scandinavian film picks up the baton from Bergman and asks big questions about the nature of life and death. Just kidding. This Thai flick is about a dead cop battling supernatural bad guys. |
|
|
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS: SEASON 2 (dir: James
Bobin, Not Rated) –
Your Kiwi friends Bret and Jermaine are back for more hijinks on the
New York novelty folk circuit. |
|
 |
^FRAGMENTS (dir: Rowan Woods, R) – Oh great. It’s another one of those CRASH rip-offs. |
|
 |
LABOR PAINS (dir: Lara Shapiro, PG-13) – Lindsay Lohan’s coming back y’all. First this stupid straight-to-DVD comedy about an opportunistic young woman faking a pregnancy, then the world! |
|
|
MUTANT CHRONICLES (dir: Simon Hunter, R) – According to this movie, the 28th century is gonna totally suck. Stupid mutants. |
|
 |
THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH (dir: Rawson Marshall
Thurber, R) – Remember how good WONDER BOYS was? Well, keep your expectations way lower for this Michael Chabon adaptation. Even with a cast including Peter Sarsgaard and Sienna Miller, this long-delayed indie is a no-hoper. |
|
 |
NATURE'S GRAVE (dir: Jamie Blanks, R) – A couple trying to put the spark back in their relationship head for a remote beach for a nice weekend of camping. Unfortunately, mother nature has other plans for them. Watch out, Jim
Caviezel! |
|
|
*OBSESSED (dir: Steve Shill, PG-13) – Ali
Larter, are you really prepared to mess with Beyonce’s man? Think about it. She will kill you. |
|
 |
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN (dir: Andy
Fickman, PG) – It bums me out that Dwayne Johnson doesn’t want to be called The Rock anymore. Does he really need a more serious moniker to star in Disney remakes? |
|
 |
THE RING FINGER (dir: Diane Bertrand,
Unrated) – After being fired from her job at the lemonade bottling plant, a beautiful young woman moves to a port town and begins working at a secretive laboratory and embarking on an affair with an even more secretive boss. |
|
|
THE SOLOIST (dir: Joe Wright, PG-13) – Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. aim to inspire with this classy piece of Oscar bait about a misunderstood and brilliant street musician and the reporter who brings his story to the world. Along the way they forge, can you believe it, a deep friendship. |
|
 |
WOLFHOUND (dir: Nikolai
Lebedev, R) – I think we’ve already had a couple of Russian rip-offs of 300 but who’s counting? |
