I love any movie with Kevin Corrigan

Harmony and Me is an indie comedy directed by Bob Byington which stars Justin Rice and appears to have the same tagline as 500 Days of Summer, but with a little extra kick in the equation. Here you take 500 Days subtract Sadness add Kevin Corrigan and you equal hiralious! Check out the trailer below:

Movie Pick of the Week!

Disgrace stars John Malkovich as a professor who lives in Cape Town and has an affair with a student. He moves to the Eastern Cape where his daughter lives to escape the scrutiny but finds himself entangled in post-apartheid politics. The film originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2008 and opens in limited release in the U.S. this weekend.

Jersey in the Mid-90s

I found out about this doc this week and am itching to get my hands on it as it shines light on mid-90s Wildwood, NJ...described as "the last great American blue-collar carnival town." From the trailer I can agree. It was produced by Ruthless Films and can be bought on their website Ruthlessfilms.com. Check out the trailer below!

Enjoy!

Get your French fix!

If you have a craving for the city of lights then I suggest renting the next two films this holiday weekend and be taken away further than to the shore.

Paris, je t'aime is an unfolding of many stories all based around the idea of love...very varying types. Each piece has a different cast and director, but they all unfold seamlessly into each other. Where else can you see Elijah Wood become a vampire...leading into Maggie Gyllenhaal and a drug habbit...into Rufus Sewell seeing the ghost of Oscar Wilde, and still left sobbing at an older couple at the end. The pieces surprise, appease, and anger, and they definately keep you guessing and wondering.



Broken English follows indie queen Parker Posey as she transforms her drab life as a somewhat cynical New Yorker into a life of spontaneous moments filled with risks after meeting a lovely...and handsome Parisian named Julien. They spent a little too much time in the big apple for this one maybe...but it will still leave you with a smile.

Highest grossing summer in history

Although the word "recession"seems to be blurted out every 2 seconds somewhere in the United States, movie theaters thrived this summer and proved to be an escape from the crummy economy. Summer isn't even over technically yet but the national box offices have racked in $4.17 billion so far, up from $4.16 in 2007 which held the title before. The four movies to thank for this: Transformers 2, Harry Potter sequel, Up, and The Hangover. And we still have one very long weekend to go!
