I'm writing an article about this documentary - it looks so powerful and interesting. It's screening in Seattle starting September 5th...

Quoted: Fourteen centuries after the revelation of the holy Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad, Islam is the world's 2nd largest and fastest growing religion. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith, discovering the stories of its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian & gay Muslims.

Can't wait to see this in IMAX! Christian Bale + IMAX = awesomeness, although I still think Newsies is his finest work :)

Quoted: If I hear the word superhero one more time this summer, I may superhurl. The very letters on my keyboard—S-U-P-E-R-H-E-R-O—are stained from overuse ... But for all The Dark Knight's occasionally bombastic excess, it tops them all, and not only in star power and sheer number of things blown up.

Now I'm even more curious to see this movie...

Quoted: Pixar's new animated feature Wall-E is more than a great movie. According to the critics, it's a trenchant social commentary. So what is this powerful and profound message? Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.

Even though cockroaches can withstand 10 times more radiation than humans, they're still not the most resilient organisms (or even insects, for that matter). Mythbusters proved that the flour beetle is more likely to survive atomic war!

Quoted: Pixar's Wall-E depicts a future Earth abandoned by humans, blanketed in garbage, and nearly devoid of life. At the outset, Wall-E, a robot, has but one companion: a friendly cockroach.

Holy crap, Meryl Streep makes an amazing Julia Child! I can't wait to see this movie... I loved Julia Child's memoir - so inspirational. She didn't even start cooking seriously until her late 30s and she failed plenty of times. Fabulous life.

Quoted: The film also covers the years Julia Child and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) spent in Paris during the 1940s and ’50s, when Paul was a foreign diplomat who was eventually investigated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Definitely want to see this documenatry about the heyday of burlesque.

Quoted: This feature documentary focuses on the life stories of a remarkable group of women who had prominent careers as Burlesque Queens over 50 years ago.

Checking this documentary out at SIFF tomorrow. I hear it's one of India's stronger entries, curious to see it...

Quoted: “What sin did I commit to be born a woman?” These chilling words of 21-year-old housemaid Lakshmi reverberate throughout Mumbai-based filmmaker Nishtha Jain’s extraordinary documentary. Jain turns the camera on her part-time maid, and in the process illuminates the complex relationship between employer and servant, filmmaker, and subject.

Glad to see this movie is getting a wide release! I still haven't read the book, but I hear it's a pretty faithful adaptation...

Quoted: Director Sarah Gavron and screenwriter Abi Morgan team to adapt author Monica Ali's award-winning novel about a young girl from Bangladesh who finds the spark in her soul slowly fading after traveling to London for an arranged marriage.

Good point. I think this happens with Latino actresses as well - they end up playing the sassy best friend who 'tells it like it is.'

Quoted: As the black best friend in Sex and the City: The Movie, Jennifer Hudson plays a tired role.
