Help me keep updated, because I'm terrible at doing it myself.

Discuss news, opening dates and festival screenings of new release films.

Not going to be good. I like the idea of this thread because I'm always late on finding out about movies.

I heard there's some Malick movie coming out this year, maybe.

Trip posted a list the other day with a bunch of great stuff scheduled for 2010. Although it's unlikely many of us will see much of it in 2010!

This looks particularly great;

The Essence of Killing (Jerzy Skolimowski)

Finally, Poland, France and Ireland will meet on screen.

I am really looking forward to The Ghost Writer, comes out here in April. Ewan!

Wong Kar-Wai's The Grand Master is marked as 2010 on IMDB, so there's that, maybe.

Probably not. Maybe a Hong Kong release this year if we're lucky. It only just started filming a month or so ago.

As long as a Fincher film is realesed this year, I'm satisfied.

I am curious about The Social Network. If nothing else, it'll be like a study in what happens when you give talented people flaccid material to work with.

Yep. Him, Sorkin, Jesse Eisenberg, and Justin Timberlake so far. And Anthony Minghella's son.

New Jodie Foster movie coming out. Be on the look out!

Festival stuff that sounds interesting:

The Animal Kingdom (Not necessarily going to be good, but Aussie crime whatever)
A Spot of Bother (French black comedy?)
Blue Valentine (Gosling + Michelle Williams)
New Low (Funny?)
Get Low (Bill Murray)
Street Days (Uhh... Georgian)
The Freebie (Mrs. Duplass)
Hesher and High School (JGL vs. Adrien Brody as tweakers)
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (Horror comedy, or terrible)
Exit Through the Gift Shop (Street artist Banksy reworks terrible film by street artist friend?)
Cyrus - (Duplass, Keener, John C. Reilly)

Rdog · Post by **Rdog** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 9:56 pm

Jenna Fischer is supposed to be in a Farrelly Bros comedy. No one cares but me though.

I'm looking forward to Hesher.

Also I forgot but there is a Terrorist Satire coming out called Four Lions that looks promising.

He has another pot comedy coming out called Your Highness.

It's a very odd mix. Amanda Bynes, Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer...and Stephen Merchant?

I read that it's pretty uneven. They're usually right. But JGL is supposedly good as expected, so I'll probably just suffer through the rest.

That Four Lions one looks bad, but who knows. I've glanced at some good, some tepid reviews.

Speaking of JGL, he also has Elektra Luxx coming out.

Four Lions is from Chris "Brass Eye" Morris, so I have some faith in it.
Plus an associate of mine who went to Sundance raved about it.

I'd still be lying if I said I didn't want Green to go back to making Malick films.

Interesting. There's 2 parts to that one, and dreiser saw and liked the first part, but, then again, it's filled with beautiful women including Carla Gugino and it's dreiser, so...

Um, yes. The whole stoner comedy genre is getting really tired, even if he brings a more amusing feel to them. He was great at what he was doing. Pineapple Express was merely decent.

Interview with Scottish actor/writer/director Peter Mullan, whose new film Neds is due out this year.

Mullan's last film, The Magdalene Sisters, won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2002.

"Neds" are Scottish "chavs". Hmm.

Yeah, but dreiser also has very strong likes and dislikes, so if he did like it, that's a positive.

Blue Valentine is supposed to be really really good.

He's also infatuated with Carla Gugino, so I'm not sure if he even knew that there was a movie going on at the time.

Gosling and Michele Williams means I'm there already, but it sounds a bit too much like (500) Days of Summer. Which was my favourite film of last year, so I can't really complain, but still.
What really baffles me is how Gosling goes 3 years without a movie. Was that by choice?

True.
Did he mention why he didn't see the second part? Maybe she dies, and he left, as opposed to the second part not airing.
