The Man Who Fell to Earth, 35th anniversary.

  David Bowie, as we know, is brilliant.  He plays awesome roles.  So his awesome role as Thomas Newton a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to get water for his dying planet.  But along the way he meets Mary Lou, and she falls in love with him.  The 35th anniversary is this summer so in honor of that, the movie will be in select American theaters all over the country. 

"Beautiful Boy"

  Beautiful Boy is a film much like my post before last about We Need to Talk about Kevin.  The story is about a boy who shoots up his school and the parents are dealing with it.  This film is more dramatic and serious (just based on the articles I read) than We Need to Talk about Kevin, the boy shoots himself after he kills students in his freshman year in college so his parents have to deal with loosing a child as well as the guilt of the students he killed.  I would go see this film, but I don't know why.  It just seems like a must see.

3D Erotica near you!

You have got to be kidding me, right?  I thought porn was for personal entertainment.  Next we will have school circle jerks, haha.  Whatever your personal preference is, soon you can probably watch Sex and Zen 3D: Extreme Ecstasy in an American theater!  Sex and Zen 3D: Extreme Ecstasy made a powerful impact in the Hong Kong box office, outgrossing the opening-day numbers from James Cameron’s “Avatar” and “Titanic.”  So the way that AMC is seeing it probably is that, people like erotica, and people will pay for it, so why not do it?  I'm not for watching things like this, but whatevss.  If you want to read more just click on the picture below.

We Need To Talk About Kevin

  We need to talk about Kevin is a film that will be released sometime in September.  This film is highly anticipated by allot of people.  This film is based off of the award winning novel by Lionel Shriver.  The film is about the mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree, throughout the film Eva (Tilda Swinton) is dealing with the guilt she has for what Kevin (Ezra Miller) has done.  She tries to cope by talking to her husband Franklin (John C. Rilley.)  I am looking forward to this film, I don't know why, but it seems good.

Miramax on Netflix.

Starting in June Netflix viewers will be able to see Miramax films for the first time on Netflix.  Through Netflix and Miramax's new partnership the Netflix library will gain films which collectively have 284 Academy Award nominations, across 83 films, with 68 wins, sweeeeeet.  Some of the films that they will be gaining will be Kill Bill, Scream, Pulp Fiction, Bad Santa and Goodwill Hunting.  I don't have Netflix but I would be thrilled if I ever got it.  Sounds wonderful.  I didn't even know that the Netflix library doesn't include those films, but right on.

Midnight in Paris

I personally have never seen a Woody Allen film, I actually don't know who he is.
I know the name... anyway I don't think that matters.  Owen Wilson is the star of the
film Midnight in Paris, he plays Gil the loner husband.  This is a classic Woody Allen film I guess, with
romantically confused, neurotic main characters and trips to other countries.  I wouldn't mind going
to see this movie, it doesn't seem too independent, but I like idea of cameos dedicated to
Salvidor Dali, Ernest Hemingway and a party themed in the roaring 20's!  IndieWire rates
this movie as a B, so hopefully it will do well in the movie world.
