New Releases, 5 January 2009

It's been a nice few weeks' holiday hiatus from blogging, but they kept making really good movies and putting them out on dvd, so we might as well pick back up our little correspondence...


DISTRICT 9
Excellent, thrilling allegorical-sci-fi in South Africa. Not to be missed


(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Hot young quirky kids in vintage clothes in love. Nobody has had anything negative to say about this film, ever. In the world.


EXTRACT
Mike Judge's follow up to Office Space and Idiocracy. You can expect some piercing satire.



UNITED STATES OF TARA Season 1
Toni Collette stars in the lauded tv show about a lady with many personalities.




CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS
Makes Avatar's special effects look like the dinosaurs in the original King Kong.
There's hamburgers FALLING OUT OF THE SKY! HAMBURGERS!!!



BIG LOVE Season 3
More of the polygamo-comedy hit


LOREN CASS
Really well-reviewed film by young director Chris Fuller, full of ennui and other edgy things     http://tinyurl.com/y8dlzqf

THE BUTCH FACTOR
I'm not sure what it's about, but that's one hot dude.


LAILA'S BIRTHDAY
A "fleet, dark urban comedy" from Palestine, also getting great reviews


IT MIGHT GET LOUD
Whoa daddy, look out--it's the Edge from U2, Jack White and that guy from Led Zeppelin, just talkin' 'bout rockin'. Apparently there's a sweet jam in the middle, too (for non-rocking types, that's when people make up music for a while)



That's it for now, keep watch for a new update in a few days and have a great week!
