State of the Blog

There would usually be a review here but you know what? I’m busy. Really busy. I have to graduate college and apparently that takes all of my time. I’d also like to mention how awful the movie selection is right now. Is anyone really going to see Leatherheads? Please don’t. If you do and want to bash it send me the review I’ll put it up. I saw The Bank Job but I really don’t think it was worth a review. It goes exactly how you would think it would go with a few clever twists that aren’t as clever as you wish they were. That’s the movie. So looking out on the month I can effectively say I’m excited for very few theatrical releases. One in particular I’m going to plug is Young @ Heart, a film I saw a few weeks ago and was privileged enough to meet the director, chorus director, and cast. If you don’t know what this film is you will, it might be the only thing worth seeing for the rest of the month. (www.youngatheartchorus.com for details). Seriously though, I’d love to see My Blueberry Nights which IS getting a limited release so keep your fingers crossed for me. I’m going to check out Street Kings mostly because I like obscure rappers and the city of Los Angeles. Other than that I think we can all hope for may to come FAST. Just a heads up, we have Iron Man, Son of Rambo, Speed Racer, INDIANA JONES, Bigger, Stronger, Faster (Sundance Doc about steroids, my friends who saw it while I was there loved it) and for you ladies (if any read the blog) we’ve got SEX AND THE CITY! Woo! I can barely contain myself.
So to recap, my interview was amazing of the Young @ Heart crew. I’m going to have a full expose next week in my school newspaper and of course right here on FAD for all you die hards. If you see anything during the week that is worth seeing drop me a line and I’ll try and get away from my books.
Best,
Jess

You have to check out (and hopefully review) Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I just caught an advance screening and it’s really funny.

Another movie you might want to plug if you can manage to see it is a really small independent film called Shotgun Stories. The film was directed and writen by first timer and NCSA alum Jeff Nichols and it was produced by David Gordon Green. I managed to catch the movie at the one theater it was showing at in NYC and was simply astounded. The movie is a revenge tale turned on its ear, and walks the perfect line between style and substance. A movie that truly cannot be missed. I believe if you go to shotgunstories.com you can find out when it is playing and where.
