A documentary about three children who live in displacement camps in Uganda. Their dream is to one day compete in the national music and dance festival.
We need dance competitions like this in America. Something where a nationality shines through, not the chance to win a marching band trophy or be in a Lil’ Wayne video.
Demi Moore, Michael Caine. A crime drama where a retiring janitor steals diamonds from his work.
It looks like the producers of this movie saved money by not hiring a cinematographer, or they just wanted to have the most bland looking sets in film history. This is like ‘Ocean’s 11′ if Elliot Gould was the only person in the movie.
A comedy where a British boy wants to make a film about being Rambo’s son.
Really, who would want to be Rambo’s son? He seems pretty distant and probably wakes up in cold sweats from nightmares involving some asian girl he killed to make galoshes. Also, I must note that the title is no typo. Apparently the franchise didn’t want some snot nose foreign kid ruining their reputable franchise.
A dark comedy horror film where unsuspecting people venture onto a crazed farmer’s land. Andy Serkis, Heather Ellison.
Leave it up to the British to satirize horror movies in a way that doesn’t involve David Cross and the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise. Let me get on my soapbox for a second. Alright, I’m on my soapbox. Corporate America has taken over the film industry and if we don’t do something about it, revolutionary films like the ones created in the late 60’s and early 70’s will never get their share and The Rock will then be able to buy body armor made of jewels with his multi-million dollar contracts. Granted, this isn’t the movie that I think will take us into the new millennium, since it doesn’t look that good, but British people have been doing something great for a while now: ‘The Office,’ ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace,’ Posh Spice, etc. I guess they can’t take themselves too seriously, otherwise we’ll bomb them. Hooray Capitalism!
A documentary about dolphins and whales.
I love all these animal movies where they take footage from nature and try to make it into a coherent story about love of family, even though all the animals are probably just thinking about food and doing it.
A reclusive guy that likes to sketch portraits makes a friend with a co-worker. When he starts to sketch her, voices from his past turn him into a crazy person. Joel Moore, Amber Tamblyn, Zachary Levi, Tricia Helfer, a thriller.
I hate movies where they use editing wizardry to fast forward through all the camera moves, or pans as we say in the biz. This looks like Tony Scott directed it, even though Tony Scott wouldn’t be caught dead directing anything low budget. And Denzel Washington isn’t in it, so he definitely had no say in the making. The main actor does do a good job of playing a creepy nerd which I’m guessing isn’t too far of a stretch, and it looks like Amber Tamblyn may get all nudified. So it’s not a total loss, it’s just reallllllly close to a total loss.
A Michael Jackson impersonator meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, who lives with a Charlie Chaplin impersonator, who has a daughter who is a Shirley Temple impersonator. A comedy/drama.
The synopsis of this film sounds admittedly stupid. But I left out the surprise. Harmony Korine directed and wrote it. Surprise! If you don’t know who that is, then you probably should quit watching the E! Network so much, and do a little research on the vast array of independent films that are at your disposal. If you do know who that is, then I don’t have to tell you that this movie is either going to be amazingly awesome or totally repulsive. From the looks of this trailer, it looks like his best work to date. And David Blaine is in this somewhere. I’d venture a guess that he’s hiding in a box or eating playing cards and shooting them from the backs of an old lady’s ears.
A couple find ghosts on pictures from their honeymoon. Joshua Jackson, a thriller.
I can’t lie. This trailer scared the bejesus out of me until the end when Joshua Jackson starts tongue kissing an asian demon. Nice try Pacey Witter, your film career is still crap after ‘Mighty Ducks.’
Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church, Ellen Page. A comedy about a professor with a daughter who finds new love.
If anyone told me that Lowell from the illustrious television series ‘Wings’ would be making smart film decisions one day, I would have agreed because he was a hilarious janitor. I’m not 11 anymore, and now I know how stupid a character that was. But you have to give it up for Thomas Haden Church. He, or his agent, can pick some roles. This looks like a hit. I wonder what happened to Roy Biggins.
A psychiatrist testifies in a murder trial and only has 88 minutes before his potential murder. Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Leelee Sobieski, Amy Brenneman, William Forsythe, Neal McDonough, Benjamin McKenzie, a thriller.
How convenient for the killer to give Mr. Pacino 88 minutes to live, the perfect time for a full length feature film. If I had 88 minutes to live, I’d probably not walk around the streets of New York aimlessly. It would probably be smarter to hide. I’d also cancel my classes and alert the authorities of my situation. But that doesn’t make sense. Who would do that? Granted, the premise is cool since I’d imagine the whole movie running in real time akin to ‘24,’ but this is just a pathetic attempt for Al Pacino to flail his arms around a lot and save women from arrant car bombs.
