Buzz from Cannes was mixed to say the least and this could be the most divisive film of the year. Oddly, most early reviews have called it slow and talky, while Tarantino’s latest trailer sells the guns, killing Nazis and blood more than anything else. Quality could go in any direction. The film is set for an August release.
Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin team up to kill a slew of the undead in this action comedy by director Ruben Fleischer. The footage looks fun but the premise and gags could run out of steam without a narrative core. Shaun of the Dead was funny, scary and emotionally gripping, that last piece was what made it special. The film is set for an October release.
This high concept comedy is currently doing the festival rounds and its premise certainly seems to stream from the mind of Charlie Kaufman. However, it’s from new filmmaker Sophie Barthes. Paul Giamatti stars as himself, depressed and tired when he discovers a new process where a company will literally extract your soul. The footage is amusing and the latter half of the trailer leaves the plotting with wide open possibilities. The film set for an August release.
All the stereotypes of disasters movies are within these two minutes of Roland Emmerich’s latest, which practically plays itself as a spoof of its own genre, with every last landmark not previously destroyed in a disaster movie getting walloped by floods or fire. If this is your thing (it’s not mine), then 2012 may be the big dumb fun of the fall. The film is set for a November release.
The remake of Fame looks exactly like one would expect. It’s flashier, sleeker, has a hip-hope edge and features a barrage of attractive young men and women dancing. It all feels like it’s been done so many times before. The posters which appear to be a blend of ipod and Coke commercials isn’t helping that fact. Yet, there is still a chance the movie bottles enough energy to be reasonably entertaining. The film is set for a September release.
Aaron Eckhart has a unique, jerky charm, which he brings to this new romance, set in our lovely Seattle. There is some solid casting here, with Martin Sheen, John Carroll Lynch and the fabulous Judy Greer rounding things out. Jennifer Aniston in the female lead leaves one skeptical - her acting still has not matched her fame. Nonetheless, the fact is the story of Love Happens looks like a wet fish. Sappy, overtly melodramatic and self serious. This could be painful. The film is set for a September release.
