Well you've got the list! Tell us. :)
all i can see that i've heard of is 8 mile.
In no order:
The Four Feathers (Shekar Kapur's new film with Kate Hudson and Wes Bentley)
The Pianist (Roman Polanski's new film)
Punch Drunk Love (new P. T Anderson film with Adam Sandler)
Bowling For Columbine (new Michael Moore docu)
The Magdalene Sisters (Peter Mullen's controversial new film)
The Dancer Upstairs (John Malkovich's directorial debut)
Welcome To Collinwood
Full Frontal (new Steven Soderbergh film)
8 Mile (Star Eminem and directed by Curtis Hanson)
Secretary
Antwone Fisher (Denzel Washington's directorial debut)
Those are the big ones I want to see, but there are others too.... such as Lukas Moodyson's (Show Me Love, Together) new film Lilya 4-Ever.
City of God (Cidade de deus) - the new amores perros, shown at cannes, start of a resurgance in latin american cinema
Love Liza-starring phillip seymour hoffman and written by his brother, restore your faith in the US indie scence
Ken Park-new controversial film from larry clark, director of kids and bully and first collaboration with harmony korine since kids who himself has since made gummo
For fans of asain cinema
Dolls- New one from Takeshi Kitano
Dead or Alive:Final- last in the triology from Takahi Miike
Shangahai Panic- DV feature chinese equivalent of a larry clark movie
these are some i am looking foward to:rocker:
I can thoroughly recommend Guy Maddin's fifth feature <I>Dracula - Pages From A Virgin's Diary</I>, a very welcome return to form after the hideously disappointing <I>Twilight of the Ice Nymphs</I>.
True, a (mostly) black-and-white silent Mahler-scored ballet (<I>sic</I>) version of <I>Dracula</I> might not be to all tastes (to put it mildly), but fans of Maddin's other films should lap it up. His typically crazed intertitles surpass themselves this time round - I particularly liked the way Jonathan Harker's seduction by Dracula's brides was punctuated with things like 'Vampyr harem!' and 'FLESHPOTS!'
...ahh... Ken Park... from a review of the movie's showing during the Toronto Film Festival:
"...Chances are you won’t see this version of Ken Park in a chain theatre, given it makes up for years of censored male genitalia in mainstream films. Here you see open depictions of sex during various scenes: a solo sex act, a lascivious tryst between one of the teens and his girlfriend’s mom, and a threesome near the film’s finale. (Incidentally, all involved actors are over the age of 18.)..."
...one can hardly wait to see this art film ... or can one?!...
...the hairless chests of teenage boys......
...ahh... The Four Feathers... from a review by America's pre-eminent movie critic (Roger Ebert, for those outside the loop):
"...I must not dismiss the qualities of the movie. It looks good, it moves quickly and it is often a jolly good time. As mindless swashbuckling in a well-designed production, it can't be faulted. The less you know about the British Empire and human nature, the more you will like it, but then that can be said of so many movies."
...this old codger still remembers Zoltan Korda's British-made Technicolor version from 1939 that he saw when he was a boy...
