Francis Ford Coppolla, who has been missing from the silver screen since '97, is set to release a new film within the year, starring none other than Mr. Orange himself (or was it Mr. Blonde...there were so many of them). The film has an interesting plot, so I won't spoil it for you, I'll let you read.
Fantastic make-up department too. You'll know what I mean when you see it.
Cheers. Nap Time.

Beatle Squishing
This from apple.com/trailers...
A Moulin Rouge-esque film is soon to be released that features, a la I Am Sam, a soundtrack consisting entirely of Beatles covers. Were that not enough, the story seems to float upon the buoyancy of the songs as well. Set in the 60s, it follows a group of college kis reliving turbulent times of social unrest, all the while relying on "the music, man" to help them cope. One can bet that they're social activists in only the most superficial of ways, in that they spend more time getting ready for the protest than they do protesting.
I'm tired of the Beatles being appropriated in this manner. It irritates me.
Anyway, check out the trailer.

The Artful Dodger of the Aughts
Michael Moore can run (for lack of a better term) but he apparently cannot hide from those who would seek to turn the tables on him.
In a bitter pill of twisted justice, Michael Moore is now at the opposite end of the camera in a new documentary being put forth by two Canadian filmmakers. The doc, called Manufacturing Dissent, was a project that actually started out of admiration for Moore. Yet Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine, the professed left-wing authors of the film, gradually changed their point of view as "certain facts about his documentaries" came to light.

Easy To Be Hard
Morning All,
I had the good fortune to see Zodiac on Saturday, after a mad dash to the theatre and struggling my way through reams of children. It was all worth it, though, for a striking and though-provoking film from a director that seems to create nothing BUT striking and thought-provoking films (for those of you who have not see Fincher's Se7en, I heartily recommend it. I won't recommend Fight Club. Though an excellent movie, you've probably already seen it).
Zodiac won't disappoint, and it's a shame it's doing so poorly at the box office. Click here for an interview with David Fincher from Kurt Loader and MTV.com
Cheers everybody.
