NEW
MOVIES! MARCH 25 - MARCH 31, 2008
|
 |
EVE OF UNDERSTANDING (dir: Alyson Shelton, Not Rated) – A hit on the second-tier independent film festival circuit, this low-budget indie overcomes its budget with great acting and a quirky story about a directionless woman carrying out her mother’s unusual dying wish. |
|
 |
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO (dir: Daniel G.
Karslake, Not Rated) – In contrast to those scary Christians of JESUS CAMP and HELL HOUSE, here are some nice Christians who love their gay family members. |
|
 |
HALF MOON (dir: Bahman
Ghobadi, Unrated) – TURTLES CAN FLY director returns with his ever downtrodden yet hopeful Kurds trying to bring Kurdish music back to Iraq after the fall of Hussein. |
|
|
|
 |
THE
KITE RUNNER (dir: Marc Forster, PG-13) – Famous best-selling novel becomes sappy motion picture in the hands of the director of FINDING
NEVERLAND. |
|
 |
THE
MIST (dir: Frank
Darabont, R) – Only 1% of books are given offers to be turned into films. Furthermore only 1% of that percent actually get turned into films. Stephen King has had literally thousands of books ‘turned.’ THE MIST is a powerful reminder of King’s ability to shock small towners in the state of Maine. Like a snowball down a mountain this movie only gets more and more intense as time goes on. Don’t miss this action packed tale of excitement in the great state of Maine. |
|
 |
PU-239 (dir: Scott Z. Burns, R) – International dream cast including Dane Nikolaj Lie
Kaas, Brit Paddy Considine, and Aussie Radha Mitchell all try on Russian accents in this tale of two-bit gangsters and radioactive fallout set in perestroika-era Soviet Union. |
|
 |
SHROOMS
(dir: Paddy Breathnach, Not Rated) – Even though this film is about the horrors that befall some unfortunate teens on a bad, bad trip, I think it’s actually trying to appeal to drug users, rather than scare anyone away from drugs. |
|
 |
WRISTCUTTERS:
A LOVE STORY (dir: Goran Dukic, R) – Don’t commit suicide or you’ll have to spend eternity in a car with Shannyn Sossamon and a crazy Russian. |
|
|
|
 |
ZEITGEIST: THE MOVIE (dir: Peter Joseph, Not Rated) – I’m all for dissenting voices speaking up against our government, but why do so many of them have to sound like paranoid schizophrenic
nutjobs? It ruins it for the rest of us who like to stick to our ineffectual back-patting liberal support groups. |
