NEW MOVIES!  JUNE 1 - JUNE 7, 2010

ALICE IN WONDERLAND (dir: Tim Burton, PG) – These days, Tim Burton tends to alternate one adult film with one for the kiddies. I'll put this one in the 'not interested' column.

DAVID CROSS: BIGGER AND BLACKERER (dir: Lance Bangs, Not Rated) – Funny man or big fat jerk? Watch this new concert film from former MR. SHOW star and decide for yourself.

HANNAH FREE (dir: Wendy Jo Carlton, Not Rated) – I don't know what she's been up to in the 25 years since she was Cagney or Lacey, but good for Sharon Gless for getting her name and face so huge on the cover of this respectable indie about a free-spirited lesbian.
THE RED BARON (dir: Nikolai Mullerschon, PG-13) – Now I know WWI doesn't hold nearly as much fascination for the general populace that WWII does, but I'll bet the bi-plane acrobatics in this British-German co-production will get folks in this town all revved up.

SMALL TOWN SATURDAY NIGHT (dir: Ryan Craig, R) – This movie doesn't seem to have much going for it other than it stars Chris Pine, the new Captain Kirk, and he sings. At least that's all the marketing team behind it thinks you need know to care about it.

THE SUN (dir: Aleksandr Sokurov, Not Rated) – I'll admit that his single-take film RUSSIAN ARK was pretty impressive, but mostly I'm mystified by the critical adoration received by Alexander Sokurov, director of this film about Hirohito.

THE WOLFMAN (dir: Joe Johnston, R) – I like the idea of Universal updating its monster classics with buckets of  blood and gore so that the kids of today will dig them. Too bad this attempt never really gets beyond that high concept.

NO pickS of the week!
