Definitely want to check this movie out...
Quoted: Demme is so hip at this point he can comfortably return to being square. Not that the man who made Stop Making Sense was ever all that square, but Demme did make his name with small, intimate dramas about friendship and loneliness and the inexorable pull of family ties (Melvin & Howard, Something Wild). With Rachel Getting Married (Sony Pictures Classics), the story of an addict who's released from rehab to attend her sister's wedding, he returns to that rich subject matter.

Looking forward to checking out the latest Woody Allen movie. The cast is great - I love Javier Bardem!
Quoted: Bathed in light so lusciously golden that you might be tempted to lick the screen, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a rueful comedy about two young American women who, during a summertime European idyll, savor many of the Continental delicacies that travelers often take pleasure in: art, music, culture, but also strange bodies and unexpected dreams.

I didn't realize Monica Ali's "Brick Lane" was being adapted for film! Definitely hope to catch this one at SIFF - the actress will be at the June 5th screening.
Quoted: From Monica Ali’s award-winning, controversial novel, this startling film transforms the text into rich, seductive images layered onto a refreshingly accessible plot. Nazneen is a Bangladeshi woman living in 2001 London. Estranged from her teenage daughter and pseudo-intellectual husband, she falls into an affair with a young, charismatic Muslim activist.

Let the jokes begin. They should title this "The Comedy of Errors." Apparently the film is setting out to answer this question (which is also my favorite quote): "How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"
Quoted: Oliver Stone has set his sights on his next directing project, "Bush," a film focusing on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, and attached Josh Brolin to play the title role.

Weird, Antonioni and Ingmar Bergman died on the same day.

I feel like this movie was already made several times in the '80s...
Quoted: In “Freedom Writers” Hilary Swank uses neediness to fine effect in a film with a strong emotional tug and smartly laid foundation.

This movie looks visually stunning...
Quoted: "Pan's Labyrinth" is a political fable in the guise of a fairy tale. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Yeah, I found myself in a bit of a quandary too - I wanted to kinda hate Mel Gibson, but this movie looks pretty damn cool. Guess the two don't have to go hand in hand...
Quoted: Hollywood’s tight-knit community of Oscar voters may find itself facing a difficult dilemma in the coming weeks: Will they consider Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto” for an Academy Award?
