July 16th Film Releases
Nothing like sex and drugs to get me clamoring for a movie. Too bad there's no rock and roll. I always crave rock and roll after a hearty serving of sex and drugs.
1) Maria Full of Grace
2) Door in the Floor
3) Seducing Dr. Lewis
I, Robot
I don't really know how long I've been doing these film recommendations, but long enough to begin seeing patterns form. Take this film for instance. I'm not sure who's promoting it, but they've decided to prerelease a lot of clips from the movie over the Internet in anticipation of the feature. This is never a good sign. In movieland we consider this a sign of weakness and desperation, as in "we lack the confidence to promote this film off of strength of story and natural word of mouth, so we hope that by showing you the best scenes beforehand, you'll be tempted to squander your $10 on our failed attempt at fine cinema."
Don't waste your time; you can see most of it on the film's web site anyway.
Cinderella Story
Not recommended for people past the age of puberty. Unless your one of those creepy Hillary Duff fans who are about to be put in prison for downloading child porn. You make me sick.
Door in the Floor
A married couple grows further and further apart after the death of their two sons. The husband, a children's book writer, hires a young man to be his personal assistant and the third party forces the couple to deal with the issues of loss that they had been ignoring.
Sorry I wasn't funny.
Touch of Pink
A Muslim Indian must hide his obvious gayness from his overbearing mother who is determined to find him a wife.
Been there, done that. Great web site though.
Maria Full of Grace
What is a bright young unmarried pregnant girl from Columbia supposed to do with her life when the traditional options seem dismally dead end? Why lead the glamorous life of a drug mule and learn to relax her throat, of course! Oh the places she'll go! The DEA holding cells she'll see!
Seducing Dr. Lewis
A town on the verge of bankruptcy must convince a young doctor to set up his practice there in order to lure a factory to the area and save the community.
Think of it as Northern Exposure, only French-Canadian.
Zhou Yu's Train
A woman is tempted to end her long distance relationship by a man she meets on a train. Like these things ever work out.
