So yesterday my special lady and I made the drive to LA to catch Let the Right One In, the Swedish vampire/preteen love story I keep talking about and which I've heard nothing but great things about. And guess what? It's fucking great. I can't readily compare to much else in terms of how it's handled. It opens here at Hillcrest Cinemas on the 7th, so be sure to catch it before the shitty remake by shitty Matt Reeves of shitty Cloverfield fame.
Among the film's opening this weekend are Kevin Smith's new one, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. Buzz has been pretty good on it, but apparently it's finding a bit of trouble with theatrical distribution, considering it doesn't shy away from the subject matter.
One of my favorite filmmakers, Mike Leigh, (whose Naked I watched again the other night for the umpteenth time), has a new film, Happy-Go-Lucky.
Clint Eastwood's Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, also premieres. See the post below for more info...
Recent divorcees Guy Ritchie and Madonna have competing new releases this week, Ritchie with RocknRolla and Madonna with Filth and Wisdom...
Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for Gus van Sant's Milk, about the assassination of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician, starring Sean Penn in the title, with supporting roles by James Franco and Josh Brolin...
