It's a big week everybody: soul music, Romantic poets, lady roller derby, Michael Jackson dances on, Clive Owen minus the shooting and so, so much more...
WHIP IT
Ellen Page (Juno) rolls into the rink, gets some bruises, falls in love and learns some important life lessons, all thanks to director Drew Barrymore
MICHAEL JACKSON: THIS IS IT
The King of pop in concert. Somehow I don't believe the title.
SOUL POWER
Critically lauded doc about the 12 hour, 3 night concert held in Zaire when Ali fought Foreman. Explosive performances, played at Ragtag
BRIGHT STAR
Jane Campion's great film, about Keat's truncated final romance. Like most really good movies, also played at Ragtag
THE BOYS ARE BACK
A fairly typical Clive Owen film, if you substitute guns with children and bloody death with feelings.
SAW 6
Yes, they made a 6th. Yes, people die in gross ways. You're welcome.
I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL
Brofest.
PONTYPOOL
Thriller about a DJ slumming it in a small town that's got something wrong with it..."28 Days Later as written by Noam Chomsky," says Entertainment Weekly. I don't know how to begin to parse that.
LITTLE ASHES
The hot vampire from Twilight plays Salvador Dali! That should be enough to get anyone to see this film.
SURROGATES
Bruce Willis investigates the first murder in a future utopia where people have robots do stuff for them and this has stopped crime somehow.
MEETING DAVID WILSON
Documentary about the repercussions of slavery: filmmaker David A. Wilson visits DAvid B. Wilson, whose family used to own his family. Awkward...
MERMAID
Well reviewed Russian film, from last year's Sundance.
Told you it was a big week. Enjoy!
