NEW
MOVIES! JULY 20 - JULY 26, 2010
|
|
ALAMAR (dir: Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio, Not Rated) – A
Mexican fisherman bonds with his young son on the ocean before he's
to be sent off to Italy to live with his mother in this delightful
import courtesy of Film Movement. |
|
 |
COP OUT (dir: Kevin Smith, R) – Not
even the genius that is Tracy
Morgan can get me to break my vow of never watching another Kevin
Smith movie. But according to the reviews I'm not missing out
on much. |
|
 |
^HARMONY AND ME (dir: Bob
Byington, Not Rated) – A
guy wanders around Austin,
Texas doing mumblecore things in this indie that features Kevin
Corrigan. It's like WAKING
LIFE with less interesting characters and no cool animation. |
|
|
HOW TO MAKE LOVE TO A WOMAN (dir: Scott Culver, R) – I
think the first step is to own a lot of cheap sex comedies with the
patented AMERICAN PIE
font. |
|
 |
THE LOSERS (dir: Sylvain White, PG-13) – A
CIA black-ops team is betrayed and left for dead and, rather than
sitting around feeling sorry for themselves, go on a hell-bent
mission to kill everyone that double crossed them. |
|
 |
*MOTHER (dir:
Joon-ho Bong, R) – The
director of THE HOST returns with another brilliant comic horror
film but this time there are no CGI monsters. In a small Korean
town, the village
idiot is arrested for the murder of a young woman and his overbearing
mother, who has secrets of her own, will stop at nothing to
prove him innocent. |
|
|
PORNOGRAPHY: A THRILLER (dir: David Kittredge, Not Rated) – A
missing porn star becomes an obsession for one of his co-stars and a
writer that leads them into a supernatural realm in this provocative
indie. |
|
 |
THE RUNAWAYS (dir: Floria
Sigismondi, R) – I
thought it would be a few more years before we'd see Dakota
Fanning lying around in lingerie blowing huge quantities of
illegal powders up her nose but apparently that time has come.
Luckily, it's only for a movie. She and Kristen
Stewart play Cherie Curry and Joan
Jett, leaders of the 1970s all-girl-all-jailbait punk band of
the title. And man, could they have taught Lindsey
Lohan a thing or two about excess. |
|
 |
SIXTY SIX (dir: Paul
Weiland, PG-13) – Helena
Bonham Carter stars in this comedy as the mother of a boy who
is non-plussed to learn that his Bar Mitzvah is scheduled for the
same day as the World
Cup final. |
|
|
|
 |
A TOWN CALLED PANIC (dir: Stephane Aubier / Vincent
Patar, Not Rated) – From
Belgium comes this animated film based on a popular series that is
shown all over the world. Using paper mache sets and "puppetoon"
technology, this charmed the WALLACE
& GROMIT folks so much that they released it. |
