Coming out next week!

In the summer in particular I always like a good comedy, and In the Loop looks promising to be just that. What happens when there is miscommunication between the US & the UK and it involves Generals and Secretary of State's...hilarity ensues! It comes out next Friday in limited release, but in the mean time check out the trailer below.

In honor of Bastille Day....check this out :)

Betty Blue or 37.2 (degrees) la matin (in French) initially premiered in the USA 23 years ago; the same birth year as me! It was too hot for American eyes however and never was properly received. Finally many years later, in its maturation with a Director's Cut, the movie made it back in American cinemas and will be available to rent quite soon, so save it on your Netflix queues! It was the 1987 Best Foreign Film of the Year Nominee for the Academy Awards, the BAFTA's, and the Golden Globes...and while it did not win, it is definately worth viewing.

The film follows Zorg, a man leading a fairly simple and undramatic life, until a wild woman named Betty enters his life and fills it not only with passion...but also with some uncontainable craziness. Check out the trailer...and be glad that you have not met a Betty yet!

A Girl Should Be Two Things...Classy & Fabulous! ...Coco Chanel

Although next week is sure to be Harry Potter mania, if you do not feel like fighting the crowds to see the young wizard's latest installment, check out this film that looks to be an amazing addition to the foreign films released this year. A Woman in Berlin (Anonyma-Eine Frau in Berlin) comes out July 17^th in the US. The film is set in 1945 post WWII when the Soviets invade Berlin and women find themselves to be the victims of rape and devastation as they struggle to survive in their ravaged country.
