Not even a week ago I was thinking about taking the rest of the summer off. I'd already seen it all. Indiana Jones limping out of retirement? The Hulk turning into Edward Norton? Space robots in love? Then something amazing happened. Meryl Streep jumped on a bed. She leapt over and over in the slowest possible motion, like a 12-year-old ...

Optimum Releasing Oliver Blackburn/United Kingdom 2008 Oliver Blackburn’s debut film received favorable festival notices at Sundance and Edinburgh ahead of its UK release this week, but despite the director’s efforts to cast it as a departure from your typical modern British horror, Donkey Punch ends up cautiously relying on obvious genre clichés.

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0200

I liked this movie better the first time, when it was called ISuperbadI. Except ISuperbadI was a comedy, and this is not funny. If ICollegeI makes any money, itll be entirely from people who think Andrew Caldwell is Jonah Hill, and want to go find out why he made the total douche move of getting a lame ass earring. Well Andrew Caldwell is not Jonah Hill, hes Large kid from the upcoming movie IDrillbit TaylorI. Hes unforgettable.

Artificial Eye Film Company Agnès Jaoui/France 2008 French art-house cinema doesn’t always have the greatest reputation.

The Dark Knight IMAX

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0200

Forget the great things youve heard about IThe Dark KnightI. No matter how lavish the praise or how determined the hyperbole, its all understatement.
